Yeah, they do have a good sound. I thought about trying something else by Cancerslug, but the first result when Googling the band claims their songs often deal with rape... I figure the band's probably too edgy for me. Can't say I'd be opposed to trying one or two more songs, but I'm a bit wary of picking songs at random after that warning.

It is somewhat relaxing and probably an improvement over the original? I actually can't decide between the versions tonight; StarTropics never had the best soundtrack, but there is something charmingly retro about the NES soundfonts that is missing here.

I feel like the artist may have been better off trying to cover a more complicated song. This feels kinda basic and never seems to go anywhere, which I guess helps with the tropical beach theme, but it could be more...dramatic, varied, intense, or something?

...Well I really liked it the first two times, so the problem is probably just on my end tonight.

[Final Thoughts: -149?! That's...uhh...I'm sorry?]

[Later: ...Well, -151 after those two mystery songs got moved up... I think this probably has the record for largest drop, unfortunately.]

[Not one of my favorites, I probably would have supported the soundtrack if it was, but its still good. Incidentally, I like this track considerably more than the Watermelon one you put in the first slot at BOST.]

It does things I enjoy. The opening few notes feel ominous, like staring at a castle in the moonlight (though that ambiance only lasts about ten seconds)

I'm not as fond of the next part. It's not bad and probably works better in game? It feels like speedrunnning a Mega Man X/Mega Man Zero game. Like I can picture Zero running through and chopping robots in half to it, but I'm still not really into the song even with the imagery it conjures.

Starting around 2:10, things become interesting again. Something about that sound feels like a boss appearing, particularly something massive emerging from a pool of lava or something. The more intense section of the music that follows also says "boss fight".

The outro is great. I'm not sure it fits the song (it feels meta; like the main character slashed the source of the music, causing it to explode and rain down around him) but it's a neat effect.

But somehow, I'm not into it tonight. The main part of the song feels rather dull, in spite of the Zero association and the two parts I like the most (intro & outro) are both only about ten seconds each -and- don't feel related to the song, nor to each other. Usually I give it higher marks because there are parts I really like, but today, I just don't consider them enough to let the song escape this portion of the list.

[Final Thoughts: Well, this one isn't far behind Cave in terms of severe drops. -147?]
