rwlh 02/24/24 4:45:01 PM #15: | Okay, let's kick things off with the bottom five. 2/10 300/5736 Xtlm Rocket League - Breathing Underwater (Ether Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4bQdVS8WHg This is not music for me. It feels irritatingly safe, it sounds identical to lots of other songs Ive heard, and it just sort of goes on and on without doing anything that excites me. I like the percussion at 1:25 but thats not enough to save this from last place. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but somebody had to take the bottom spot. 299/5713 @tgs2 Epic Battle Fantasy V - Return of the Snow Queen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VJvyWZgPWY I dont know a lot of music from this series but Ive had the same reaction to the scant few things Ive heard from it. It just sort of plods along and does mostly the same stuff for four and a half minutes. Why is there this weird record scratch effect, what purpose does it serve? The record scratch could have been something. I dont know. On a different day, this might have gotten last place. 2.5/10 298/5667 OrangeCrush980 Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition - Shall Never Surrender (Intro) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4dCMZdU9KA This one I feel a little bad about. (Only a little!) There might be a compelling song in here, but listen to this link. Can you hear the song? Because I couldnt. The volume is so low as to be incomprehensible. I tried raising it to 100% and got nowhere. I tried looking for an alternate link, but all the other versions of this song I found seemed to be for different versions; this one clearly specifies Intro. So I might enjoy this, but likewhat am I supposed to do here? Make up a song? Always make sure to check your links before you nominate, friends! 297/5630 TheArkOfTurus SANABI - A Vindication Opportunity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Sw2euNhBI TheArkOfTurus nominated five songs from the same soundtrack. Was this a wise choice on their part? Stay tuned to find out! This song, at least, wasnt the wisest choice for me. The main synth really grates on me with its buzzing effects. Maybe Im a hypocrite because I love the Commodore 64 soundchip and A Vindication Opportunity reminds me of that, but theres also the added problem of how the song repeats the same main melody in a way that I find unpleasant. I would react much more favorably if that synth were replaced by almost anything else. 296/5621 @Mihark Full Metal Furies - Cronus https://youtu.be/TddRCvU11z8 This song sounds like its being played underwater, at 0.5x speed. I dont really like the choice of instruments, and the melody isnt too hot. The 2.5s are a nexus of songs with minimal redeeming qualities for me, but I dont actively dislike them, so even though Im down on Cronus, it doesnt go any lower. (Plus its short, so theres that.) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
