Might as well get a couple more in today....

163) Persona 5 - Rivers in the Desert
Series rank: 3 of 4
https://youtu.be/sdDiHZiBtpE
Composer: Shoji Meguro
Score: 6.0/10 (Good)
VGMC History: VGMC XII (lost R5 to Sunshine Coastline)
Favorite part: https://youtu.be/sdDiHZiBtpE?t=222

That singer is really good, as is her singing in so many other Persona songs! It helps a lot. (Lyn Inaizumi) Yeah, her energy really makes it better. The way she anunciates is really good, too.I have to consciously try to ignore the bass because its so... rough. The melody is kind of nice? Its bluesy, but not really in a way that I like. Yeah, the melody of the other retired Inaizumi song is MUCH better, in my opinion. The accompanying violins initially seem boring as they just imitate the bass, but then they do something awesome all of a sudden a 1:59 (atonal triplet stuff! YEAH!), plus there are a couple of moments where they really add to the harmonic flavor. Anyway, 3:42 provides something noticeably different. The added backup vocals there are REALLY good, actually, which bumps the score up a bit, too. I always like fourth-based chords like at 4:41, so there's at least one chord in there that's cool!

162) Undertale Megalovania
Series rank: 2 of 2
https://youtu.be/wDgQdr8ZkTw
Composer: Toby Fox
Score: 6.2/10 (Good)
VGMC History: VGMC X CHEATER (DQd R7 against Beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL - Despair of ELFERIA)
Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/wDgQdr8ZkTw?t=48

Im not sure why Megalovania is the most popular Toby Fox theme (its not in my top five from Undertale), but it certainly has its positives. I mean, my ranking is controversial, but I still like the music! It's in the "good" tier, after all. The way it suddenly gets loud at 0:16 is awesome, though the melody is... catchy, but not really high tier in my book. Nevertheless, like all of Undertales soundtrack, I love the music that way sounds combine... chiptune with who-knows-what. It's get especially groovy at 0:40! The 0:48 section has to be my favorite part because of its quirkiness (pretty much, I love anything quirky from Toby Fox)! The chromatic harmonic shifts at 0:54 and then at 1:18 where you expect it to resolve back to the tonic but then Toby says FOOLED U HAHAHE! and leaps up a chromatic momentarily. Cool use of diminished chords at 1:24. (On a side note, I hope something from Deltarune retires)

Thanks for saying this. I just realized that my preliminary rating of that track was way too high.
