164) Baldr Sky - Ruins of Silence
Series rank: 3 of 3
https://youtu.be/1j3ZBXD97bc
Composer: SHIM (TGZ SOUNDs)
Score: 5.9/10 (Decent)
VGMC History: VGMC VI (Lost R5 to Ace Combat Zero - Zero)
Favorite Part: 3:02 3:27

Random fact: The Baldr series may very well be the most successful game series in VGMC, statistically. Its three for three in terms of getting music retired! (granted, one of them took five tries) Music is calm and very, very somber. The string harmonies at the start are VERY NICE, even if Im not crazy for the sampling quality. Next comes the piano with the main idea that everything revovles around. I guess you could say there are some good note choices that stray from the standard triad expectations in the piano idea, but it goes stale very fast. (I do like the accented guitar strums in there) The guitar does play an important role in focusing attention away from those trudging eighth notes, fortunately. For the majority of the track Im honestly not into it but then it suddenly gets WAY better at 3:02 (the way the melody passes between the guitar and piano is NIFTY! Plus intriguing chords)

And with that write-up completed, we come to the end of the decent tier! Which VGMC is the loser so far in the rankings? VGMC 6. Meanwhile, reps for VGMC 2, 10, 12, and 13 have yet to appear on the list.

Not Good - 1
Mediocre - 1
Decent - 15 (prev. 9)

More "decent" ratings in my finalized ratings than my preliminary ratings. I hit 5.9 a bit too early... I think some of the scores will be revised slightly downward again to space things out a bit better. Expect a big increase of music rated as "good", as well.
