That being said, I do think 0:25~0:37 is actually my favorite part; I love the backing pad and that lead together like WAY too much, very very cool - EX7: Sonic the Hedgehog - Drowning Composer: Masato Nakamura Score: 70/100 (7.2), ~41st place of 174 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3of4_hwvf7g No, I'm not joking, this jingle actually fucking rules so much. I can't think of a single jingle or whatever that even comes close to instilling as much panic as this song does. Actually insane, how far the tempo knob gets turned up before your life finally expires feels like an eternity.... I wonder if that is actually how drowning feels. Aww now I'm sad thinking about this but still very effective and cool jingle!! - EX8: Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Angel Island Zone Composer: Jun Senoue Score: 63/100 (6.9), ~77th place of 174 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVyLTBO7Ck0 Uhhhh yup it's Angel Island in Modern Senoue Sonic Style alright. I actually used to this song was from Sonic Adventure and this was the original being used in Smash; I did not know at all that this was actually a remix, let alone one of a classic Sonic song. Anyway uh... yeah this style doesn't lend itself well to Act 1 at all. But the Act 2 half of the song saves it quite a bit. Still lacking a lot, and since I haven't covered Act 2 I won't talk much about this one, but yeah it made me want a lot more from the remix that I did not get! - EX9: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Final Boss Composer: Tatsuyuki Maeda, Sachio Ogawa, Masanori Hikichi Score: 65/100 (7.0), ~68th place of 174 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc-lK-psNy4 Good song, I can see why people go bonkers for this, but the instruments in this version just don't do it for me. Too aggressive to not be noticed, but not crazy enough to be unique and likeable, most of the leads are just... melodic noise. Not sure how to describe it. But yeah, it's still good. Like the melody at the end a lot! - EX10: Sonic Generations (3DS) - Boss Battle: Big Arms Composer: Alexander Makhlouf Score: 80/100 (7.8), ~16th place of 174 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVQjrIcwyEg Uhhhhhhhh holy shit? I was not expecting this song to be both techno and also rock when I went into it the first time, and maybe that's just my complete unfamiliarity with modern Sonic besides the two Adventures, but this owns a lot. When the main melody gets played on that synth and then goes into the solo at 1:45 HOOOOOOOO BOY that's a spicy spicy music!! The short original song getting fleshed out into this long, genuinely rocking battle track is actually bonkers. The break at 3:07 into that grungy guitar part is also beyond crazy. Great, great remix that really brings the potential out of the original. - EX11: Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood - Nocturne Composer: Steven Sim Score: -41/100 (1.5), dead last place, easily https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrpglqYeQBc So okay I had known about this absolute travesty of a meme song for AGES before this project, but it wasn't until I told my roommate about this project and he told me to listen to it closely that it clicked. And it took a while to click! Finally on like a third listen I realized what 0:45 was supposed to be and I flipped the fuck out. It's really hard not to hear it now in some parts but jesus christ this goddamn song. I love it so much, but also... it's fucking atrocious lol. I would love to find the redeeming qualities in its graceful horrendousness but alas I cannot find such things. So it can't be saved from an awful score. <cite>banshiryuu posted [p:932102299] in deo listen...
