Bouncy fun time in underwater drowning hell world yaay!! The intro really starts off setting the overall light-hearted mood, but it's when 0:22 happens that the song really kicks into gear for me. The melody from here on out to loop is just SOOOO damn catchy like WHat? Nagao's take on the jazzy and suave Act 1 and turning it into the high-energy banger is just... incredible, honestly. It's definitely the same composition at heart, but he just ran with it and turned it into this song that just makes me wanna dance, like I swear it's physically impossible to not bop to it at least a little while listening to it. Infectious to the third degree, and pretty damn deserving of the hype that it gets.

God I just fuckin LOOOOVE the ultra electric feel of the JP/EU Bad Future songs, like seriously taking "zone environment but if we put flashing neon dystopian lights on everything even" and embedding that thought process into a song is absolutely nutty and they nail it Every. Single. God Damn. Time. This one's pretty simple and doesn't really have a main melody like... ever, but it gets away with that by just hammering you with this image with every single sound that it puts forth and like AAAAAAA I am stuck in Blade Runner Cave Drowning Help! Incredibly successful in that regard and fun to listen to just to keep imagining the background to this song like I have never looked at "Tidal Tempest Bad Future What It Looks Like" Ever and I bet I could look it up and know exactly what it looks like.... Okay so there's not really lights from what I can see but its definitely rusty dystopian cool stuff great atmosphere good song!!!
