Indeed it is!

Two more songs from the mystery pile today. I spent yesterday listening to this week's "Rank the Tracks" three times in a row to get it out of the way early (better album than I thought it'd be, but that's neither here-nor-there I suppose) so I want a light music day after that marathon.

...also I'm quite close to the end of Octopath Traveler 2 and going to selfishly try to finish that rather than get an extra song in.

Persona 4 -Reincarnation- Specialist:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=899kstdMUoQ

Estimated Score: 58.74

It's got a nice smooth jazz groove to it. I kinda like it, but it doesn't inspire anything more than generic "that's nice" and "that's Persona 4 dance music, alright" reactions to a point where I can't find anything to say here. I kinda like it and would never be disappointed to hear it, but would be unlikely to seek it out in the future.

Blind Guardian - Wheel of Time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCLsqg05boo

Estimatd Score: 75.05

I'll admit I didn't have the highest expectations for this track. Epic metal can be rather hit or miss and, as I've mentioned, I don't know much about Wheel of Time other than Rand being one of the most powerful characters in all fiction so I wouldn't be able to properly grasp the lyrics here. Thankfully, I find the song stands well enough on its own, that it's an enjoyable trip even without context. There are definitely two blocks of lyrics that I'm drawn to:

Light it binds me
Light it blinds me
Light it finds me
Light denies me now

[...]

The inner war
I can hold against it
My mind, my mind
My mind's in darkness


Light and darkness, yes yes, quite appealing.

I'm not as into the Arabian feeling interlude that divides the song into two halves, though I don't dislike it... it's more a "thing that happens" than something I have a clear reaction to; I also feel the ending feels a bit anticlimactic. That being said, I did quite enjoy this and wish to give it a decent nudge above the 70 point Cluster, so well done.
