179) Super Castlevania IV - Bloody Tears
https://youtu.be/QOWUSsFar-s
Composer: Kenichi Matsubara
Score: 4.8/10 (Mediocre)
VGMC History: VGMC III (Lost R1), VGMC VII (Lost R6 to Potential for Anything)
Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/QOWUSsFar-s?t=49

In come the trolls? It perplexes me why this is the sole Castlevania retiree. I like most of the other popular themes more than this, and with Bloody Tears I prefer the NES version (the sound quality here is pretty bad for SNES standards). The intro is an overused Bach Taccata/Fugue pattern in the most uninteresting way possible. (I think Toccata in a Blood-Soaked Darkness uses it much better). I do like some of the instrumentation the bass pizzicatos, for one. Also, the organ at 0:24 is ok. Plus the very last part of the loop at 0:49-- I really like the thunder-like percussion used here, and the way things die down after is kind of ...haunting. Overall, though, I just dont care about it.
