80. We Love Katamari - Blue Orb
Nominated by: Ed Bellis
Blue Orb was possibly the single hardest nomination of all 100 of them for me to rank. Even after several listens I still haven't figured it out, and worse I don't feel like I'm any closer to figuring it out. What I can say about it is that it's completely unique, completely unlike anything else I've ever heard. That said, it's not... entirely successful. I feel like it never really goes anywhere and, as a result, is very repetitive. All I really want is one higher energy section somewhere in the middle and I feel like this could jump up 30 or more places.
79. Star Ocean 4 - Sacrificial Lamb
Nominated by: electricpiper
Sacrificial Lamb is weird. I feel like I should have a lot to say about it, but... not really. First part is completely uninteresting, the strings are cool, and then the vocals are really ehhhhhh. If it was longer it might've been able to go somewhere cool, but... then again, maybe not.
78. Jet Force Gemini - Sekhmet
Nominated by: todbot
I have... less than nothing to say about Sekhmet. I enjoy N64 music just in general; the N64's... soundchip or whatever the correct terminology is... is probably my favorite of every console with a recognizable soundchip. That said, Sekhmet is unremarkable. It's got a few cool sections (the last minute or so is interesting, for example) but overall the best thing I can say about it is that it does nothing to make me dislike it.
77. Katawa Shoujo - Parity
Nominated by: Phase
So, the good news for you is that Katawa Shoujo is one of my favorite games and I absolutely adore its soundtrack. The bad news is, and this is a rather controversial opinion, I rate Parity... quite low among the game's music. I think it's bottom 10 for me, in fact. Even among just character themes I'd take Generic Happy Music, Painful History, Ah Eh I Oh You, The Student Council, Concord, and Standing Tall over it. >_>;
I'm not even really sure why I don't like it very much. It's bouncy and playful and those aren't qualities I usually in enjoy in music, so that's part of it, but it also has some really cool parts, like 1:23 through 1:39. So it really just balances out around neutral for me.
76. Gradius III - Sandstorm
Nominated by: Ace_Killjoy
Sandstorm's... neat. That's the best word I can use for it, I think. It really only has one trick and what you hear is what you get, but that one trick is okay with me. It's one of those tracks I enjoy listening to while it's playing and then never think about again.
