472 [TIE]: LENA RAINE - GOLDEN:

https://radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/golden

Nominator: MetalmindStats (17/28)
Source: Celeste (13/21)

Initial Score: 50.00 [#406]
Revised Score: 50.00 [#425]
Final Score: 50.00 [#472]

(First Thoughts: Im conflicted here. Im sure this was great in game and I kinda like it & kinda dislike it, to a point where I feel like dropping it anywhere in the 20~60 point range would be fair. The intro is very slow and it takes too long for the song to build up, but it does make the song more impactful when it does go places. For now lets...say the parts I like & the parts I dislike cancel each other out, so it winds up at 50 points? Close enough for a first impression at any rate.)

I think Im sticking with my first impression of 50 points. I like ambient tracks, but this is one of those that never brings any specific images to mind. Its interesting enough to hold my attention for the whole 8 minutes, but not impactful enough to leave an impression and a neutral score feels like the only appropriate one.

[Final Thoughts: I stand by my earlier impressions. The song does improve drastically at the end, but its not quite good enough for how long it takes to really get going.]

472 [TIE]: PSO2 - SUPERLUMINAL ~ RUSH ~ ESCA FALZ MOTHER:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBOwm4PcmwY&list=PLeKaE-gusMmaq2FecWApCcMOVGJblcdrD&index=21

Nominator: NFUN (27/37)

Initial Score: 36.22 [#521]
Revised Score: 46.14 [#476]
Final Score: 50.00 [#472]

(First Thoughts: Wheres the rush? It should be faster; and more dramatic; and longer; and more fear-inducing; and more cacophonic.)

Id just like more everything from this song. Its decent, but doesnt make me think of anything specific or elicit any type of reaction.

If I have to try to picture this song playing anywhere... it sounds like a power-up theme from a kart Racing game. Like if there was a Phantasy Star character in All Stars Racing and they used their All Star power, the music would temporarily change to this theme. Its a temporary power boost racing song, not a....whatever this is supposed to be song, unless PSO2 involves a racing sequencelets not pretend I actually know what PSO is, other than action RPG that Im still bitter at for being action and destroying the turn-based RPG series it came from.

[Not-Quite-Final Thoughts: Not great, but not bad. Think Ill go ahead and let this move up to the Exactly 50 Point tier.]

[Final Thoughts: One of those songs that has jumped up a whole tier each trip through the list, so thats nifty.]
