Board 8 > 92 VGMusic REMIXES: Ranking and Writeups

(+) Yeah! (+)

It reminds me of Dreamwatch. Also I'm surprised that maiden's capriccio mix is this low.

69. Final Fantasy VI: Terra in Black (by Ailsean, from Overclocked Remix)
Nominated by: Ed Bellis


Ed only nominated this because he knows I don't like Terra. Yeah I don't like Time Circuits OR Terra, you want to make something of it? I thought so. Nerd.

This version is better than the original Terra, which tends to happen when you take a poor song and change all of its samples to non-intrusive guitars. Non-intrusive guitars? In my topic? It's more likely than you think.

Also, two down in a row Ed WHAT NOW.


68. Touhou: Bad Apple!! 8 Bit
Nominated by: lefty


I liked Bad Apple better when it wasn't 8-Bit. It just sort of annoys me, now.

You guys aren't obligated to keep up with me! Go at your own pace. I just like doing these topics fast. I don't care for dragging them out like some people.

Some people.

Gotta admit it, I chuckled.

67. Castlevania: Bloody Tears ~Akumajo Dracula Odi et amo~
Nominated by: lefty


This is the most generic Bloody Tears remix I have ever heard, and I'm pretty sure that's why lefty nominated it. Moving on!


66. Super Metroid: Stemage- The Brood
Nominated by: SubDeity
http://www.metroidmetal.com/metroid_mp3/sm/supermetroid-thebrood.mp3

This song does a few interesting things, but mostly it's just guitar overload. Too tired to describe it in more detail. Probably should have been lower.


65. Touhou Ten Desires: The Gracious Deity's Metamorphosis
Nominated by: todbot


This song is kind of an ear worm. Part of it are catchy but parts of it are also very annoying. I think if it took out the 'gimmicks' I would actually like it a lot more.


4.5/10 is done! Taking a break for now, and by for now I mean the next 14 hours. I'll compile some stats to leave here and will resume tomorrow.

Got a bit of time. Let's start up the next section. 5/10 and 5.5/10 are the biggest by far because, surprise surprise, most songs that people nominated weren't that memorable !

5/10

64. Marble Madness: F.F.F.
Nominated by: WazzupGenius00
http://stemage.bandcamp.com/album/where-good-marbles-go-to-die-marble-madness

I'm posting this in a place where I can't listen to music, and I don't remember this song too well. I do remember that it tried to do way too much and just annoyed me at times, so there's that.


63. Skies of Arcadia: Horteka Stomp
Nominated By: Mega Mana


I appreciate what this song is trying to do, but I just prefer the original Ixa'taka way more. It had a stronger melody, much better samples, and was much easier to listen to. This one...it's creative, but OCRemix has major problems with being too 'creative' with songs.

GUITAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS




61. Mega Man X: Braincooler
Nominated By: Mega Mana


I think this is a remix of the Chill Penguin stage. Chill Penguin isn't a very good song to begin with, and this remix doesn't change much, so it stays at about the same quality. Not much to say here.

Very disappointing place for Zealous Entropy, I love that song.

I mean, yeah I really wish I could remove everything "lyrical" about the song, but when it's only 2 minutes of 10 minute song, it doesn't bother me that much!

At least all my other ones are at least a 5/10. But with so many in the 5 and 5.5 range, I can get wiped out in one go.

Also I love calling an instrument "intrusive" like it means something other than you don't like it.

Waah this song has INSTRUSIVE VIOLINS or INSTRUSIVE FLUTES

I know that's what it's supposed to mean, but like many other words, it can be used gratuitously when you want to make your opinion sound like it has more merit.

Also, if I happened to not like brass in my songs, I could have the opinion "brass never fits" or "brass is always overpowering", and thus be able to say "dat intrusive brass" in almost every instance of it's usage.

60. Chrono Cross: A dream to watch of chrono
Nominated By: Niorapth


Much like other entries on this one, this falls under 'okay but I liked the original a lot more'. The melody is very similar to Time of the Dreamwatch, but the samples aren't as good and the notes are very...awkward. There are a lot of parts where I felt like the remixer was just messing with the notes so it wouldn't be so similar to the original, and didn't work out so well. Every part that's different from the original sounds worse. Also that flute can be really intrusive heh heh heh

No seriously it is.


59. Final Fantasy 7: Short Skirts (djpretzel and Vigilante)
Nominated By: Kaxon


This one was just kinda boring. I'm not familiar with Tifa's theme so I can't make that sort of comparison, so it's basically an original song to me, and as an original song it just doesn't do anything.

58. Persona 3, Katamari Damacy: The Katamari for Everyone's Souls
Nominated By: Kleenex


We are moved to tears by the size of this remix.

Mashed-up by our very own Ed Bellis, The Katamari for Everyone's Souls is an odd duck. There are some parts of it where the songs match up shockingly well, and those parts are pretty cool. Actually, in general, the songs work as good complements to each other.

When you get past 'in general', you run into a problem; namely, the original Katamari song being extremely hectic and having a million things going on. It wasn't really meant to be mashed up with anything. BFES isn't a particularly mellow song either, so there are times when the two songs are just fighting over supremacy of the mashup, and it breaks the rhythm of the whole thing.

In short, this song is equal parts bad and good, hence the rating. Above all else, it's neat, and I'm glad it exists.


57. Chrono Chross: xKore - Chrono Cross
Nominated By: SSBDarren64


This is another remix that is barely a remix. Scars of Time (at least i think it's Scars, it could be Time of the Dreamwatch or Dreams of the Shore, but it does it really matter?) is absolutely dominated by the trance in this thing; for the first 1:20, there is nothing that even remotely sounds like anything related to Chrono Cross. The song improves a bit when the CC notes start playing, but even then it just sounds like generic trance with CC notes thrown in the middle. That is still better than 39 items on this list.

I find myself looking over my collection of remixes thinking "I should have posted this and that instead!"

I know I still have 4 songs left, but his overall disappointment with the list makes me feel like I should have done better!

56. Mega Man 9: Splash Blue Arranged vs Linkin Park and Jay-z Encore / Numb Acapella Smooth Subtle
Nominated By: Justin


This remix.

To start off, I don't like rap, I don't like Linkin Park, and I don't like any rendition of Splash Woman's theme that I've heard. The fact that I sorta like this mashup is something I don't understand in the slightest. It's just...an experience. I appreciate songs like this more than many of the songs above it, because even if I don't technically like it more, it was a lot more interesting to listen to.


55. Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Travelling Through a Dream
Nominated By: Mega Mana


This is alright. It doesn't particularly do anything to set itself apart, but it didn't do anything to offend me, either. I give it a C.

Now I'm imagining Sonic in high school. That would not turn out well.


That's it for now. Check back later, same topic, same guitars.

--

I think I'm pretty easy to please. My overall average for the topic was a 5.17, which is higher than Ed's at least. I just write some harsh writeups because this topic would be boring otherwise. Unless you want to read want to read 50 writeups of "This is okay".
