Raetsel_Lapin 12/16/20 10:16:46 AM #265: | =============== 419: TOUHOU 17 - ENTRUSTING THIS WORLD TO IDOLS ~ IDOLATRIZE WORLD: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0VYKbTSxu0 Nominator: Shonen_Bat (4/27) Source: Shonens Extra Songs (4/7) Initial Score: 53.17 [#327] Revised Score: 55.30 [#361] Final Score: 52.06 [#419] (First Thoughts: Fine enough, I suppose, but its a bit long and never brings anything to mind. Its just an alright song.) Well, I like this more than most Touhou songs Ive heard. I find most of the PC-98 songs rather grating, so it was a good idea to try a more modern / not PC-98 Touhou song. Unfortunately, Im not really into this either. It doesnt bother me, but its too... intense & blatantly Touhou music for me to imagine anything. Its just like this is a good Touhou song, yes. [Final Thoughts: Good Touhou song.] ================ =============== 417 [TIE]: STURGILL SIMPSON - RONIN: https://open.spotify.com/track/72FTwwTOazhuJ1titOxq65 Nominator: Xeybozn (14/20) Source: Sound & Fury (8/10) Initial Score: 51.16 [#370] Revised Score: 55.72 [#355] Final Score: 52.10 [#417] (First Thoughts: The opening was great. Flipping through the radio, tires screeching, its all this is not a traditional song and I dont give a crap if HUMANS dont UNDERSTAND my BRILLIANCE. Then it just goes and plays guitars for a while because we cant have anything nice.) Theres some fine guitar playing on this track, very heavy electric guitar shredding thats very classic rock and it does a fine job of telling you that this isnt going to be a very country album, but its nothing spectacular. Its also held back by the fact that its very clearly not meant to be listened to on its own; without the following track, this song literally stops mid-note. Some song intros are good enough to actually stand on their own and justify getting their own track numbers; others, dont. And then theres Ronin, which doesnt really succeed or failits competent enough that you could listen to it separately, but so anti-climactic that you probably never would. [Final Thoughts: I still love the intro.] =============== =============== 417 [TIE]: MASAFUMI TAKADA - JUNK FOOD FOR A DASHING YOUTH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yswhJKHTUc&list=PLLmUcHIAJVw_GCWsy10Bv4-rtr6XDQfSU&index=3 Nominator: DoctorJimmy133 (15/27) Source: Crypt of the Danganronpa (9/20) Initial Score: 48.17 [#442] Revised Score: 56.63 [#342] Final Score: 52.10 [ (First Thoughts: Well its... better than several other songs on the soundtrack?) I actually kinda like this. Its obviously still part of a genre that I dont like, but its mild enough that I can listen to it without a strong impulse to throw it into last place. Could see it having value being added to a playlist somewhere to possibly help build up my tolerance for this type of music? Either way, I do like this. The beat is a bit softer, so its easier to tolerate, and I actually like the music in the background so its a pretty big improvement over all the other songs from the soundtrack that have already been cut. [Final Thoughts: Appreciated, valuable in helping build up tolerance for this genre of music, but Im still not at a point where Im really a fan of it... still, something I am thankful for, even if the score doesnt properly reflect that.] =============== --- Temporary Signature ...
