I have no idea what criteria I am going to judge songs on but hey this could be fun.

One per post, you can give me another song after I listen to your first one.

between the buried and me - white walls

14 minute song huh. Well, not like I have a long list of songs to get through yet so let's see where this goes.

I prefer my vocals not to be screamed at me, first of all. I did like the opening though and the underlying instrumentals when the vocalist isn't saying anything.

Oh shit, I stopped being screamed at around the 5 minute mark I am glad I stuck around at least to hear this very chill and pleasing part of the song. Oh yeah, this part slaps for sure.

I would say if this was edited to not include any of the random screaming noises I would be more than fine listening to this as I liked what those parts were a good deal. Felt like I was going on a bit of a journey at times. Those parts would get a 6.8/10 from me, solidly above average. Nothing remarkable but something I could see myself listening to quite a few times without complaint.

But the screaming parts just ruin it, although I will factor in the majority of the song is not that. 3.8/10

Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride from Lilo and Stitch

Disney is going to have a hold on my heart until the day it stops beating. How many great Disney songs are there? A lot.

Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride is joyous and I find myself dancing in my chair as I type this write up out. I have this on a few playlists already so I know I would listen to it quite a bit! It's not in the top tier of Disney songs for me because the instrumentals aren't really my niche as a listener and I prefer a certain type of lyrics but this is still solidly a good and easy listen to on almost any day. 7.9/10

Masayoshi Soken - Shadowbringers

I'm nowhere near reaching Shadowbringers in FFXIV (so please no context spoilers if you have played it), but I'll be damned if this song doesn't kick ass.

Final Fantasy XIV has my favorite story in any video game, I am a gigantic nerd for the game although I play it much more as a single player experience than as an MMO!

Anyway Soken is a fucking genius. This isn't quite my favorite from 14 but it is very close. If I was to rate this song in the context please know it would get a 10/10. I won't say more, but it would get a 10.0/10 and there is no rounding up there. Perfection.

On its own I still love it. From the beautiful opening to that guitar riff and just off to the fucking races this is a complete jam. This is one of my most listened to songs of the past two years and goes on any number of play lists. Beautiful, powerful, one of the best hype songs to get me out of a bad mood. Some parts kind of tickle my brain in a bad way that make me go 'ehh' but this is just being nitpicky. 9.3/10

The last laser master - Auralnauts

First time listen! I like the narrator, let's see where this goes.

Kind of a bop and it is putting a smile on my face. I like the meta take on this story as it goes on. Okay 2 minutes in it picks up more.

I think I am going to give this 5.1/10. It is a bit of a bop and I can say I enjoyed this for what it was, but I think I am always going to skip this if it comes up on a shuffle. A one time experience.

There was just something about this that didn't pass the vibe check for me. Just not really my thing in any meaningful way would be the best way I could put it. The little sounds throughout this piece offput me more than anything. Could barely get through it which kind of makes me think it's more of a 'me' thing given this is apparently a very popular piece. 3.1/10

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uDRLW748j68

tbh if you just tell people to start "hi this is my first time also I have a kid I might have to go afk for a bit suddenly" I doubt anyone is going to care, people love first time players so much 90% of the time.

This one takes a little too long to get going for my taste. Also the underlying rhythm ear worms me in a way that I don't like and it drowns out the vocals to me because my brain just focuses on that. I don't have a fantastic ear for music, but is that supposed to be a repeated piano chord of some kind? Kind of driving me nuts haha.

I like the vocals and the percussion that pops up, but that ear worm starting solo and then continuing throughout kind of killed me. The vocalist reminds me of someone I really love but I can't place it, so I suppose I'd give this like a 2.5/10 because it actively bothered me but without that underlying ear worm it'd be much higher.

This is a vibe. A silly vibe, but I appreciate the romantic vibe a lot. I am a sucker for funny songs which helps. Plus a diss track for Batman is pretty great in general. Also, even beyond it being funny it's a pleasant song to listen to. 6.7/10

Piano opening is a banger.

Kind of a random background track. I liked it okay, it was inoffensive, but also I forgot about it until the music stopped. That's not great but it also means I could probably listen to this randomly and be fine with it. 5.5/10

Sunspot - Arthuriana

Well isn't this a lovely little tribute to some amazing pop culture throughout the years. This is a bop, and really the only thing I don't at least like about this song is that they say Arthuriana too much. I was bobbing my head for large portions of this though. The instrumental portion is a killer as well, although I can't quite place all of the instruments being used. Which isn't surprising to me, I have always been bad at that. Anyway they could have chosen anything, but they picked Arthurian legend which I fucking love, so that's a bonus. 7.5/10

This is a song that I think I wouldn't be in the mood for all of the time, but I am currently in the mood for it. I love the tone of the vocals a lot here. The song feels light to me, which I guess is the point given the title of it but it does feel like something you ought to listen to if you are carrying around a bit too much. know I wouldn't always rate it this high but right now I am really digging it. 8.4/10

The Dear Hunter - He Said He Had a Story

This might come off as weird, but I find this song pretty generic listening to it but in a good way. Like, I've heard several songs like this before and it's pleasant and unremarkable but good background music. I was working on my writing and while I was in the middle of thought my mind drifted away from the song and then it was over. Which certainly has a place for me, but I didn't love it or anything. I can't place what band this reminds me of though, which might bother me for a bit. 5.9/10

It doesn't overstay its welcome and its one of the classics, but really outside of short videos where this is played ironically I don't have an urge to listen to this at any time. It's not awful, but it is for sure below par and I wouldn't want to listen to it actively but it could be worse. 4.0/10

You have stumbled across a genre of music I quite enjoy - well I say it is a genre but really it's cute sounding women (as in, vocally) singing mostly chill songs about random events in life. Doesn't hit the highs of a lot of my favorites or ones I listen to regularly, but I could see myself listening to this one again easily enough and it makes me feel peaceful which is really lovely. 7.5/10

Broadway musical vibes and I like musicals a lot. It's a silly little song but it's enjoyable for what it is. I can't imagine I would bother ever listening to it again, but very much inoffensive. Although if I judge it on the musical scale it is for sure below par for me, so I suppose that's only fair to rate it that way. Not bad though, but uninspired. 4.5/10

Speaking of musicals.

This song is heartbreaking for me because I went through a sad end of a relationship a couple of years ago and this kind of digs into my heart quite a bit. The sad hope of this song that the audience knows goes unfulfilled slowly changed course to anger and resentment as she gets agitated by Jamie until she unleashes her rage on him. It is very well sung here, and it is moving to be sure. Makes me sad still though. 7.2/10

This song would not feel out of place on the Chrono Cross soundtrack, where the fuck did this come from? I didn't know what to expect from this as I had never heard of this game but uh, within five seconds my head had whipped around wondering if I had misread the title of the game. What a beautiful, intricate piece of music. This is for getting added to a playlist. From start to end just a very engaging, beyond pleasant experience. I don't think I could ask for more from a instrumental piece of music. 9.7/10

Acting as if I didn't know the GOAT worked on this game, but noted.

Short but lively song. Although not at the highs of Soken's later masterpieces, he effortlessly blended a basketball vibe with a Mario vibe to create a music piece that slaps far harder than anyone would have ever imagined a game like this would have. It's simplistic and not really my type of beat, but damn what a high for mario basketball. 6.9/10

Sounds like something that I could imagine hearing in a Persona menu or something. That's not a bad thing mind you, I enjoy the Persona soundtracks a lot. It has a unique vibe to it which I sort of dig but also I am not quite sure how to feel about it overall. I feel like this is one of those I would probably have to listen to more to digest how much I really cared for it, but it certainly caught my interest and it was a nice listen. 5.9/10
