Final Score: 65.80 [#270]

(First Thoughts: Id been dreading this almost 14 minute long song since I first saw it. Not that there arent long songs that I enjoy, but its easier for a song to outlast its welcome than it is to hold my interest that long. But I actually like this a fair amount.)

Ultra dramatic super long boss theme hyperforce go!

Its actually quite good for its genre. Even at 13+ minutes long, the song never feels like its taking too long or needlessly extending itself, and it manages to convey all the sense of an EPIC BATTLE without falling into any of the usual this song is trying too hard to be epic and bores me to sleep traps that usually get these types of songs.

[Final Thoughts: Probably the best of its genre.]

Revised Score: 66.00 [#237]
Final Score: 66.00 [#269]

(First Thoughts: Its like exploring a forest at the start of an RPG. A simple, low-level dungeon that acts more as a tutorial than a serious challenge. Its nice.)

Its a very nice, peaceful sounding song. Im not quite as into this song as I was the first time, likely because Im just not in the mood to imagine walking through a forest right now. Still a very pleasant ambient track that Im thankful for and appreciate when Im in the right mood for it, so thank you.

[Final Thoughts: It is quite pretty, though still not quite top tier levels of beauty.]

(First Thoughts: Yay gunshots!)

By this point on the album I was begging for ANYTHING that wasnt a drug filled orgy, swearing that Id even take some songs about suicide at this point just so I could at least complain about a different topic.

Then this song opened with crying and a gunshot and I was just so, so happy. I didnt even care who she shot; herself, one of the other women, the guy. It didnt matter; for at least the duration of this one song, we would finally be free.

And its....kinda good? Still too much focus on drugs, sex, and vulgarity but I still like listening to it, so thats progress.

[Final Thoughts: Its certainly distinct on the album. Besides the gunshot, theres a really nice stretch starting just before the two minute mark: the distorted, ghostly female vocals and a hint of static? Im so there for that type of thing. And Abels voice is nice enough herenot his best vocal performance, but hes talented enough that I rarely complain about his performance.

Lyrics dont really work for me, but I do like it and it was a welcome change of pace.]
