Certainly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFqJr6OOshM Fun fact: this was the first piece nominated, I was well familiar with it, and I knew it wasnt going to go high. So I basically used this as my this is what average feels like song and rated it as 5.5/10. Every other mid-tier song, I basically asked, Is it better than Popular Potpourri? Then I went back and listened and realized I was being a bit too generous. The VVVVVV soundtrack is great. Mashing all the songs together in a very forced medley, a bit less so. It would be one thing if the works fit together, and we actually got the spirit of each piece. Instead, each transition is like an 8-bar drum beat that cant even be called a fill, while weird noises bloop in the background. Meanwhile, each callback to a piece in the game is brief and soulless. The only portion of PP thats really any good is the initial 90 seconds and the spots where that gets called back. PP is also too damn long for its own good. If you listen to it passively, it seems like Im being overly harsh on it, but if you listen to it [i]actively[/i], youre going to be uninspired with its relative lack of creativity and implementation. next: prog --- http://imgur.com/ekqlssN <cite>azuarc posted [p:889150303] in azuarc ran...
