I think Ill get a bit more of Low Teens in. Nine songs left, dont know if I want to go through all nine... but lets play a bit more at least.

It Remembers: Hey, one of the two songs with clean lyrics that I was told would be on this album. Also a decent guest vocalist and lyrics that are exactly what Im looking for.

I still howl like an animal in the darkness
And Im reminded by the blood on my clothes
I cant stand what Ive become

Ah, blunt sadness and howling. I knew there was going to be something I needed on this album. Unfortunately, theres basically no chance anything else on the album is going to compare favorably to this and the next track is one Bane particularly wants me to listen to... so Ill save the rest of this album for a little later, itd probably be judged too harshly if it had to immediately follow that song, so lets find something different.



Shnabubula - Shrek 5: Might as well start here. Piano cover of a weird song is certainly different than anything Buckleys doing and I dont have to worry about losing track of where this song is, if I listen to it now. I prefer the original version of Shrek 5, but this isnt bad. Low 50s type of song.

And lets bounce over to those three Chrono remixes I left from #164. I do believe I was at a vocal cover of something.



Star Salzman - Forever Until Tomorrow: I cant quite decide how I feel about this. I prefer the instrumental sections of the song, but I wouldnt say I dislike his singing... probably one of those songs that I need to listen to a few times to really get a hold on.

Joren de Bruin & Tweex: One of those songs that feels the need to be EPIC purely for the sake of epicness and loses any beauty the original track had. Probably a high 40 point song; dislike is a bit too strong of a word for how I feel about it, but its...not quite something Id go back to.

(Oh, the song has over a minute left to go. How long these four minutes feel...

...wow, its...really trying to out EPIC the earlier EPICNESS...Is it too late to lower the score down to low 30s?)



Sole Signal - Aqueous Transgression: Ooh, Ocean Palace is my favorite song on the soundtrack and one of my favorite VGMs ever. And this is...well, not on the level of the original, but different enough to be interesting and worth listening to. Quite appreciate this one, even if its not my favorite. (Theres a very brief moment at around 3:45, where it plays the original and gets static-y for...like...two seconds. That part was fantastic.)

Okay, I think that gives a fair amount of distance from Every Time I Dies earlier song, so lets jump back to Low Teens:



Every Time I Die - Petal: 90-something points, but Id rather not comment on it.



Well, two great songs today, so thats a good day in my books. More tomorrow.
