I feel like this would be pretty cool if the trumpet were less overbearing - has an otherwise pretty cool jazzy feel. The piano part right before the loop is probably the best part.

Well, the trumpet is less overbearing at least. This is kinda just a mess.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The original is very stressful, I'm not gonna lie. That's the point, obviously, but I still have a mini heart attack whenever it starts. Otherwise, pretty good song. More interesting than FC's monster chest theme at least, and does the job of unnervingly hyping you well while still being decent to listen to

I laughed at this one too. God, in the original the trumpets seemed a little detuned but in this they just seem in completely the wrong key. It's way more dissonant than it should be. Jumping from the off-key trumpet to the squeaky trumpet to the even MORE outrageously off trumpet accompanied by BONGOs is just peak Singa. I hand the rest of the review to Umutsol: "Nothing hit me the way Obstructive Existence hit me though. That one is just a RIOT. It feels like the instruments are horribly depressed and want to escape from the whole soundtrack . But seriously, it makes me sad, but I still laugh. This song would be like 10 times better if the wind instruments didn't off themselves each note. that's my biggest problem. The trumpets go BRRRrrrrr.... Oh god, the section towards 1:40. I think Joshua heard this when <FC> he was talking to Weissman"

I honestly listen to Evo more, because it never fails to absolutely slay me. This is a song I had no idea how to rank, so I decided this feels about right... it still feels way too high, but points for being fucking hilarious, I guess
