A little repetitive at first and the more melodic part doesn't really do anything for me. Kinda like the rhythms at least. The added part after the weedly bit is probably my favorite part here. The first half doesn't have the same interesting rhythms and that's a blow though. ------------------------------------------------------------- Well, it's a good thing I'm not judging these by how well I think they fit in game, because both versions of this song feel like they're lost and from something else entirely. The Original, inexplicably, makes me think of "Worker & Parasite" from that one episode of The Simpsons. It's like it's from some bizarre, experimental..thing. And the Evo Version is very action packed and cybernetic. Anyone remember the PSX game Silent Bomber? No, no you do not. But the Evo Version feels like it should be in that game--I can easily picture an action hero running through a Matrix like virtual reality, blowing up helicopters to this song. ...In an attempt to be on-topic for a moment: The original is a bit too harsh for me. Evo Version is fine, but could stand to be even more futuristic. i always forget that this song exists. it plays once for a not especially memorable scene and it's not good enough to survive under those conditions #186: Zero no Kiseki - New Days azuarc: 5.8/6.1 Mycro: 5.033/5.037 Total: 5.4165/5.5685 (5.4925) https://youtube.com/watch?v=xiaSvk5SFlU https://youtube.com/watch?v=88Foq9ozhOs OG rating is purely for New Days, ending at 2:32. Original feels like a AHIT track for the time warp levels, while Evo is trying too hard to be a softcore version of an intro theme. Both have their pluses and minuses, but I feel like the sound is just a smidge better in the evo. The instruments just hold together more cohesively. ------------------------------------------------------------- i would have said i like the original more but the out of tune violin and some other production screwiness bothers me just slightly enough to prefer evo's. evo's just focuses on more appetizing elements and has more attractive mixing to me, but i like the "90s-ness" of the original at first it sounds likecredits music #185: Ao no Kiseki - Traces of D Janus: 6/6 dowolf: 4.5/5.5 Total: 5.25/5.75 (5.5) https://youtube.com/watch?v=EKefevuz-k0 https://youtube.com/watch?v=vrNSYmlgWmM ok I had to relisten to this to pin down a rating and I think it grew on me a good bit nice.

Hopefully this streak for evo lasts for- Lea, lea, lea. I know, I know. You grew up the only child in an orphanage with a strict mistress. All day and all night, you had nothing to do but stare at the beige wall and contemplate all that a young, sheltered child had to contemplate--that is, nothing. This dreary childhood led to your risk-taking behavior, your crippling methamphetamine addiction, your series of increasingly broken and dysfunctional relationships, yada yada, Freud would have a field day. I get it. I understand. I know you were beaten on the ears whenever you misbehaved as a youth. I know. I understand. But you need to stop living in the past! You need to move on, start growing, and stop being shackled by your complete aversion to anything that lacks the energy of a cocaine-fueled glam metal guitarist high on a combination of kerosene and dioxygen difluoride and the volume of a Saturn V. Please. I want nothing more than for you to progress and grow as a person, and it starts with appreciating music at a tempo lower than nightcore. It's too bad Singa killed Scything in the middle of his review. May he rest in peace #182: Ao no Kiseki - The Little Heroes -Music Box- azuarc: 5.4/5.3 Raetsel: 6.1/5.3 Total: 5.75/5.3 (5.525) https://youtube.com/watch?v=zvGy89JnfXI https://youtube.com/watch?v=tuqbi0552Fg Short music box is short music box. Evo version is chunkier. But for a nothing track, I don't know that it's really fair to even rate these and try to contrast. ------------------------------------------------------------- I actually like the original version of this quite a bit. It's very simple and short, but I happen to like music boxes and the little touch of hearing it being wound at the start of the track is surprisingly touching... but it's way too short. Extend the song to a full minute so I can properly experience it in full and it might be a winner, but there's just not enough here to get a truly great score. The original version feels crisper and cleaner than the Evo, which gives it a fair edge. #181: Zero no Kiseki - During Mission Accomplishment Raetsel: 4.5/8.2 dowolf: 4.5/5 Total: 4.5/6.6 (5.55) https://youtube.com/watch?v=WDH11NVtxek https://youtube.com/watch?v=KoWU3YYNrao The Evo version is fascinating to me in ways I cannot explain, but I've listened to it three times in a row because I do not want the song to end and it's amazing & great. I have nothing to say about the original version. ------------------------------------------------------------- This is not a victory fanfare, in any sense of the term. uh, dowolf is correct? #180: Zero no Kiseki - Scene of a Street Corner Raetsel: 5.22/4.289 tgs: 6.2/6.5 Total: 5.71/5.3945 (5.55225) https://youtube.com/watch?v=mqyMZUvX8rE https://youtube.com/watch?v=wNDoKXl5SCw They're fine. [Final Thoughts: Well, the Evo version is slightly less than fine. I want to like it, particularly because it's got a saxophone and all, but it's just...wrong. Too busy to be a relaxing town theme, not interesting enough to be more than town theme, and so notably worse than the original to not even be a good remix. I don't hate it, but for something that seems like something I'd like, they certainly dropped the ball.] ------------------------------------------------------------- #vindicated, though this should be much higher #179: Trails in the Sky - Decision to Leave FL: 4/4 Mycro: 7.15/7.2 Total: 5.575/5.6 (5.5875) https://youtube.com/watch?v=R7dJK_kbs8c https://youtube.com/watch?v=cBt5coEZf-8 Sad uhhhh "new agey" (?) music. Evo has an added echo effect that makes it sound less sad, but more new agey. Subtle differences that give it a small change in tone, even if they aren't all that different. ------------------------------------------------------------- i thought i liked the original more at first (instrumentation is more immediately appealing; the piano solo sounds nicer for some reason, and played on a less distorted sound), but after listening to both back and forth for nearly an hour, I've decided the evo version captivates me more. the more 'complex' synth pad sound design in the evo version, and some subtle extra layers of harmony added in, really make it feel more expansive, surrounding, ethereal. Mycro, listen to RINNE #178: Trails in the Sky - Creeping Crisis pyre: 4.5/6 NFUN: 5.4/6.5 Total: 4.95/6.25 (5.6) https://youtube.com/watch?v=_atZqTWxClI https://youtube.com/watch?v=u6CpowP79qY This is a niche of VGM I've never really cared for--when it's just vaguely tense music that plays in between two intense scenes. It's just supposed to maintain the player's already existing excitement but that means the song doesn't really contribute anything on its own. Though, the keyboard(?) part here at 0:45 is pretty neat and probably raises the score by a full point. ...okay so all that only applies to the original version because the Evo version is actually pretty cool.

Hopefully this streak for evo lasts for- Lea, lea, lea. I know, I know. You grew up the only child in an orphanage with a strict mistress. All day and all night, you had nothing to do but stare at the beige wall and contemplate all that a young, sheltered child had to contemplate--that is, nothing. This dreary childhood led to your risk-taking behavior, your crippling methamphetamine addiction, your series of increasingly broken and dysfunctional relationships, yada yada, Freud would have a field day. I get it. I understand. I know you were beaten on the ears whenever you misbehaved as a youth. I know. I understand. But you need to stop living in the past! You need to move on, start growing, and stop being shackled by your complete aversion to anything that lacks the energy of a cocaine-fueled glam metal guitarist high on a combination of kerosene and dioxygen difluoride and the volume of a Saturn V. Please. I want nothing more than for you to progress and grow as a person, and it starts with appreciating music at a tempo lower than nightcore. It's too bad Singa killed Scything in the middle of his review. May he rest in peace #182: Ao no Kiseki - The Little Heroes -Music Box- azuarc: 5.4/5.3 Raetsel: 6.1/5.3 Total: 5.75/5.3 (5.525) https://youtube.com/watch?v=zvGy89JnfXI https://youtube.com/watch?v=tuqbi0552Fg Short music box is short music box. Evo version is chunkier. But for a nothing track, I don't know that it's really fair to even rate these and try to contrast. ------------------------------------------------------------- I actually like the original version of this quite a bit. It's very simple and short, but I happen to like music boxes and the little touch of hearing it being wound at the start of the track is surprisingly touching... but it's way too short. Extend the song to a full minute so I can properly experience it in full and it might be a winner, but there's just not enough here to get a truly great score. The original version feels crisper and cleaner than the Evo, which gives it a fair edge. #181: Zero no Kiseki - During Mission Accomplishment Raetsel: 4.5/8.2 dowolf: 4.5/5 Total: 4.5/6.6 (5.55) https://youtube.com/watch?v=WDH11NVtxek https://youtube.com/watch?v=KoWU3YYNrao The Evo version is fascinating to me in ways I cannot explain, but I've listened to it three times in a row because I do not want the song to end and it's amazing & great. I have nothing to say about the original version. ------------------------------------------------------------- This is not a victory fanfare, in any sense of the term. uh, dowolf is correct? #180: Zero no Kiseki - Scene of a Street Corner Raetsel: 5.22/4.289 tgs: 6.2/6.5 Total: 5.71/5.3945 (5.55225) https://youtube.com/watch?v=mqyMZUvX8rE https://youtube.com/watch?v=wNDoKXl5SCw They're fine. [Final Thoughts: Well, the Evo version is slightly less than fine. I want to like it, particularly because it's got a saxophone and all, but it's just...wrong. Too busy to be a relaxing town theme, not interesting enough to be more than town theme, and so notably worse than the original to not even be a good remix. I don't hate it, but for something that seems like something I'd like, they certainly dropped the ball.] ------------------------------------------------------------- #vindicated, though this should be much higher #179: Trails in the Sky - Decision to Leave FL: 4/4 Mycro: 7.15/7.2 Total: 5.575/5.6 (5.5875) https://youtube.com/watch?v=R7dJK_kbs8c https://youtube.com/watch?v=cBt5coEZf-8 Sad uhhhh "new agey" (?) music. Evo has an added echo effect that makes it sound less sad, but more new agey. Subtle differences that give it a small change in tone, even if they aren't all that different. ------------------------------------------------------------- i thought i liked the original more at first (instrumentation is more immediately appealing; the piano solo sounds nicer for some reason, and played on a less distorted sound), but after listening to both back and forth for nearly an hour, I've decided the evo version captivates me more. the more 'complex' synth pad sound design in the evo version, and some subtle extra layers of harmony added in, really make it feel more expansive, surrounding, ethereal. Mycro, listen to RINNE #178: Trails in the Sky - Creeping Crisis pyre: 4.5/6 NFUN: 5.4/6.5 Total: 4.95/6.25 (5.6) https://youtube.com/watch?v=_atZqTWxClI https://youtube.com/watch?v=u6CpowP79qY This is a niche of VGM I've never really cared for--when it's just vaguely tense music that plays in between two intense scenes. It's just supposed to maintain the player's already existing excitement but that means the song doesn't really contribute anything on its own. Though, the keyboard(?) part here at 0:45 is pretty neat and probably raises the score by a full point. ...okay so all that only applies to the original version because the Evo version is actually pretty cool.

Unfortunately, kinda starts feeling cluttered after a bit. #168: Trails in the Sky SC - The Dream Continues hb: 7.7/8 dowolf: 3/4 Total: 5.35/6 (5.675) https://youtube.com/watch?v=YHCLsd0wsMU https://youtube.com/watch?v=zt6fos345J8 This track just tugs at your heartstrings- it's both wistful and optimistic, and perfectly conveys the feeling of knowing that things are going to improve in the fututre. It's incredibly sweet, but dragged down a tad by being fairly repetitive. The Evo's versions string additions absolutely help it too, giving the piece just a bit more emotional resonance for me. ------------------------------------------------------------- Kind of relaxing I guess Remind me to never let dowolf participate in another one of these </quote> ...
