Undertale

thoughts while processing the first track
-this is the Crystal Chronicles OP, right? I remember liking this
-man this opening is dull maybe I'm remembering things wrong
-okay never mind I like this

I admire Cuphead's wholehearted commitment to its aesthetic. It's really cool how much they put into it. Floral Fury isn't exactly among my preferred tracks from it, though it still manages to squeeze some fun out of the proceedings.

As musical jokes go Riot at the Bat Rack is pretty one-note.

I wonder if I'd have liked Undertale significantly less if I'd heard it before I played the game. I try not to let knowledge of context colour my voting but it's hard to say how effective that is. Anyway I think it's a relaxing track with a nice buildup, though I like it a bit less than around the time of the first VGMC it appeared in.

We've Got to Believe in Something feels kinda limp-- I have mixed feelings about Kajiura's body of work but usually there's at least a couple of things that catch my attention in many of her tracks. This one doesn't really have that-- I guess some of the background synths are cool? The melody feels pretty phoned in, though. Then there's the strings, the choral section, the chimes. Not really pushing the boundaries.

Ar Tonelico 2 is probably my favourite Gust soundtrack. It has a bunch of hymmnos I like. I don't really count this among them, though. It's pleasant enough but I want more than 'pleasant' from the hymmnos tracks, you know? Afterward I went back to listen to METHOD_METAFALICA and SPHILIA. At least something good came out of this experience.
