(NioraptH) kinda chill
Didn't get much commentary from the peanut gallery on this one. I know it's not quite what we're used to hearing from a Bungie game, but Power of Seven do an ok job of giving us something that's at least entertaining to listen to for the initial however many seconds it takes us to load our last saved game. As for listening to the whole thing? Well, yeah, it does get a little monotonous, I suppose, but I think the track manages to sustain its energy to the end. Apparently the rest of you don't agree.

(SoliPants) The lyrics are just silly and I don't care for the singing.
(Kenri) This song always catches me off-guard with its language, in a good way (I think?). I feel like I should hate it, but I actually find it sort of funny... until I have to listen to the whole thing, because it really can't support itself for five minutes.
I like this song way more than I should. For someone who usually doesn't give a damn about the actual lyrics and just takes vocalists for another instrument with a wide range of sounds, I sure do get some giggles out of joke songs. This song, in particular, though, I at least got to witness first-hand when my college roommate was playing through Conker's. Watching him throw toilet paper at an opera-singing giant turd? I mean, c'mon, how is that not completely awesome? I have to imagine Robin Beanland had a lot of fun writing this one, because I sure would have. Sadly, reviewers brushed it aside, which I'll just chalk up to them liking other songs more rather than this one less. (Even if mathematically those are technically the same thing.)
