YEEESS BAD FUTURE TIME BABY god all the vocal sampling in these things are seriously on another level; even just like the little "uhn"s in the beginning and stuff ORCH HITS AT 0:39 ARE MY LIFELINE okay just. every single sound in this thing is something i really like and this is definitely a song I like more for "picking apart and enjoying small bits at once" rather than the whole song if that makes any sense?? Like sometimes I'll only listen to the bass, or the bass and the soft guitar strumming in the background, or the melody and percussion or something. Stripping it down makes it even more fun to listen to and that's not a very common thing in music at all for me so it's cool to get to do that with this one. Really great song.

...But before we get to the Top 20, I wanted to take a little chill time a talk about some of the stuff I didn't rank but listened to, such as non-level themes, remixes in later games, some other tracks from the early Sonic days, etc. I have quite a few songs that I want to talk about but if there's anything you guys want me to comment on, I can definitely throw those in the mix and give a short write-up on it. Can't guarantee anything too crazy in-depth or anything, but I'll definitely do what I can.

I'll be busy with the holidays and then going to MAGFest, so the Top 20 will probably begin on the evening of Monday, January 6th. No guarantees, might be a day or two later, but we're in the final stretch and I have a lot I really want to say about what's left!!
