140. The Last Story - The One Who Rules All
Uploader: Harmonica (249)

Rating: 6.6
Comment: This is bad? Well, the first 1:10 is, but after that?...wait, did that groaning just say "By Ysmir's Beard?"...ok yeah, there's some stuff later in that maybe isn't so good either, but the main song is respectable, no? Anyone else feel like the riff at 1:48 should go into the Power Rangers theme?

139. Homestuck - Savior of the Waking World
Uploader: KamikazePotato (254)

Rating: 6.6
Comment: There's definitely an uneasy tension to this song, this sort of "well I guess it's up to me to go kill the boss. I'll, uh, I'll get right on that, then." The piano at the end is rather pretty.

138. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Promised Moisture
Uploader: Pikachu025 (486)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: The main melody isn't particularly interesting, but the two interludes are.

137. Hearts of Iron III - Land of the Rising Sun
Uploader: Harmonica (417)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: This style of symphonic composition goes one of two ways for me -- either I find it boring or I really like it. In this case, I liked it. Not intensely, but I did enjoy it. The melodic line wasn't anything fascinating, but the progression was solid and the moon and tension of the actual instruments themselves does the rest.

136. Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space - Unholy Workshop
Uploader: Harmonica (473)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: Little sax and clarinet action going on~ I dunno what this scene is about, but between the name and the picture, I can take a pretty good guess. The song does a great job of conveying the mood of some evil industrialist Santa that slavedrives his elves. Despite being a saxophonist, I'm really not into smooth jazz (which this isn't really, lemme make my point,) but I was obliged to listen to Unholy Workshop through to the end each time.

135. Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana - Undeveloped Region
Uploader: Pikachu025 (045)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: Good melody, background, energy, etc. Nothing really go complain about on this song, other than that maybe I ranked it too low.

134. Mass Effect 2 - Suicide Mission
Uploader: Kleenex (098)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: Between a great sound and rather boring development, I could justify a really wide range of ratings for this, but this is a fine compromise.

133. Tales of the Abyss - Finish the Promise
Uploader: superangelo128 (488)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: Part of me likes that the same background pattern is used the entire time, but part of me says that it's monotonous to hear that for 3 minutes. The melody/countermelody throughout is good.

132. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Sleeping Treasures in the Sand
Uploader: Pikachu025 (010)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: The song has an entrancing quality to it. Good flute parts. Good drums and rhythm. Good desert tune.

131. Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm - Rain of Blossoms
Uploader: Pikachu025 (122)

Rating: 6.8
Comment: It's a good song, but a smidge weird at times. I'm not in love with the opening "riff" that shows up later, but most of the other parts are good enough to make me almost question why I didn't rate this higher.

130. Tales of Vesperia - Fury Sparks
Uploader: Pikachu025 (108)
