Just now realizing I never updated Carnivals link to point to the actual song instead of the Shooter Jennings song that wasnt actually nominated.

For any hypothetical person who wanted a functional link posted for it.

296: POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON: GATES TO INFINITY - A FRIENDS DECISION:

https://youtu.be/GTaD2xpT8F0

Nominator: Haste_2 (3/19)
Source: Hastes Extra Songs (3/7)

Initial Score: 53.13 [#330]
Revised Score: 62.40 [#267]
Final Score: 62.12 [#296]

(First Thoughts: *something came up immediately after listening to this and there wasnt time to type anything other than the score until... three and a half hours later, so I really have nothing to say at this point. Sorry, hopefully will have a few words on the second or third listen.*)

A nice getting ready for adventure song. Like youve resolved yourself to go on EPIC QUEST and are now mentally prepared for QUESTING TIMES. Which is nice, I like it.

...its late and Im too tired to talk about an unrelated song. Just pretend I linked something stupid like the Chipmunks version of The X-Files Theme here.

[Final Thoughts: Yes, there really is a Chipmunks version of The X-Files theme:

Its... a thing. I dont actually suggest listening to it, its just a very bad skit playing over top of the X-Files theme and its neither funny nor actual music, but it certainly exists.

(Its from an entire album of space themed Chipmunk covers, but lets not get into that. Its not one of their better albums anyway, only two decent songs.)

Nominated song is still good, still nice getting ready for a quest music, I like it and it definitely has its place.]

295: DARK SIDE OF THE RING - BROTHERS RISING:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5B0YjzE47k

Nominator: paulg235 (7/15)

Initial Score: 50.00 [#406]
Revised Score: 62.52 [#266]
Final Score: 62.19 [#295]

(First Thoughts: Decent background music.)

A suitably dramatic instrumental track. Its got a futuristic sound to it, makes me think of various BAD FUTURE scenarios; the destroyed future from Chrono Trigger, boss fights in the Bad Future in Sonic CD, Shadowrun in general, even looking out over the city in Transistor; if its futuristic enough, you could slot this in for background music and itd work well enough.

Cant say it makes me think of wrestling at all, but thankfully for this song, Im not judging songs based on how fitting they are for their source material.

[Final Thoughts: Still feels like a dark future track, which I like.]

294: LENA RAINE - HEART OF THE MOUNTAIN:

Nominator: Metalmind_Stats (5/28)
Source: Celeste Soundtrack (4/21)

Initial Score: 65.06 [#173]
Revised Score: 62.76 [#264]
Final Score: 62.23 [#294]

(First Thoughts: Enchanting.)

The only thing I can think of when reading that first thought:

Either way, this is one of the more textbook definitions of an I like this song. Theres no part of it that I really want to draw attention to or focus on, it doesnt make me think of anything specific, I just... like it.

[Final Thoughts: Its very nice, whatever it is. The slow fade towards the end of the song is especially nice. It feels like its going to transition into a very meditative track at that point... could be very useful on a playlist if I found the right song to accompany it.]
