now I moved onto 295-291. even more of a mixed bag for me. the ace attorney song is one I've always liked, even though it definitely could have been gifted a better ... soundfont? probably not the right word but I think y'all get what I'm saying. a little higher pitched in spots, yeah.I already told skull this on discord but that seems to be more a problem with the upload than the song itself. I found an upload of the Ballz song that is 2 mins. Curious how this will affect your opinion:
I was a minute into the ballz 3D song. I had my laugh. I chortled a good bit. It's bad but like in a funny way, you know? I thought, surely the song will end soon. But no, it was like four fucking minutes. I can't believe the one thing stopping me from enjoying the overly sampled porno music was the length.
I gave it a 6.5 but it's been a while.
I like Dear My Friend.hey, I still remember it extremely well. That counts for something!
Woohoo! I'm not entirely sure why I uploaded that song just for NFUN's ranking, but hearing that you didn't hate it at the time makes it feel strangely worthwhile.

I am honestly sick of Alan Wake 2 music right now. That's not fair but like they have a style and they stick with it and it's all that style and i'm just "oh hey time to listen to another thing that sounds like Herald of Darkness but probably not as good."
Well we've done it. We've found five songs I enjoy exponentially more than rwlh did. But Kama pls why did you nominate a song that had a full minute of dead air at the end >>
Surprised especially by Dear My Friend. I admit I've kind of trained myself to have middling expectations of Japanese vocals.
A bit better. Not sure how to judge, as I already know what the "joke" is.
I was given three Alan Wake 2 songs. The other two are actually pretty different - not Old Gods of Asgard at all.well that's actually kinda exciting, i don't know if i've heard a single thing that isn't AsGARD.
oh don't get me wrong -- Poet and the Muse is fantastic (though I think of that more as a Poets of the Fall song, who I prefer more [edit i'm dumb and i knew there was overlap but i didn't think it was literally 100% the same people]). I just... I dunno. I think I've let myself get really bothered in recent days by the feeling that e.g. on Supra, people tried to submit the #1 song in a style, were told someone else beat them to the punch, so they just nommed their second favorite thing in that style. So as someone who's not the biggest fan of that particular style, I wind up wishing that they'd gone in an orthogonal direction instead.
Anger's Remorse is more low-key, and so is Poet and the Muse, which was what turned me onto their music :p
What is with the lyrics? Every woman likes it rough,

Idk if I've ever come across as hostile, but I guess I just get a little nettled by this kind of assumption when ... I don't feel like it applies to me at all? I dunno, I feel like it'd be good to approach this topic in good faith?? I think it's easier for stuff you don't like to stick out more than stuff you do sometimes. I think I'm just a little confused by this pushback personally haha, so I just proved my own case ig
and like obviously that's all speculation, for all i know i'm just insulting someone else's favorite song in the game and i'm completely being a jerk, but >_>

Also Late Goodbye is really, really good. But this coming from me is unsurprising. :p
I still have one more Mihoyo song to go so there's still hope!same
i'm sorry. i was definitely a bit of an asshole last night >_>it's okay friend. i was more confused than upset for sure

This song is messy with a capital Mess. The mixing is all off and there are whole chunks that dont seem to fit together at all. But the second half is actually really cool! The flying effects (Pokemon cries?) are integrated better, and theres some nice fake guitar and percussion. If the first half were more like the second, this would be much higher.

I will probably get a lot of s*** for having this so low. But honestly its just not for me. It reminds me of #300, Breathing Underwater, in that feels like a typical modern pop/rock song, and I have a hard time with those. Its just likeI dunno, kind of there? The vocals are a big detriment for me, but couple them with this uninspiring instrumental and its likeI dunno, just not interesting to me. Its a perfectly fine song. Im sure I will come to like it less after repeated exposure when it gets to round 3 in VGMC.
Also, why round 3 in VGMC?
I like how you mention VGMC as if Wildfire isn't killing it in another contest right now
Wildfire has never been that high on my list of HSR songs either to be honest.I've had it as my Astral Express song for months now
It is also a song that's much better in-context I think. The lyrics and general tone of the song fit the boss fight very well and also the climax is timed to the boss's big attack which is very cool.
Humor is in the specifics! (I don't actually know if it'll even get into the contest, but if it does, I suspect it will do well.)
It won one round. That's hardly "killing it." If it beats the Naganuma track in R2, then sure.
You know, I was expecting another drop since I had a bunch of joke noms. What I wasn't expecting was this. I was fully confident the next drop would be within the next day or so but it would be Yoshi's New Island instead. To think you put the kazoo song over this is kind of funny.
Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising - Deathbound LoveFor character themes, the GBVS soundtrack primarily uses arranged, usually non-vocal versions of those character's songs from the Granblue Fantasy soundtrack. In this case, what you're listening to is an arrangement of this:
This is a weird one. There are these Friday Night Funkin-esque vocals throughout but then other parts of the song sound like theyre missing a vocal component. Its like the song doesnt want to commit to being vocal, non-vocal, or weird Vocaloid hybrid. I had a hard time getting into this for that reason.

So if you're hearing a void that you think ought to be filled with vocals, that's probably because there is!
