Sorry about the delay. I've had a lot of stuff come up. Because I'm not happy with at least two of the ratings I've posted already (Silver Will is one of them), I will be putting in a "revised" rating for them in a separate column soon.

Catchy intro, isnt it? Random fact: this tune has likely been stuck in my head more than any other video game track during my teenage years! Throughout the track, the percussion REALLY does its job in providing punches and energy honestly its one of the best SNES themes Ive heard in that department. The initial theme comes off as generic to me, though thankfully, the bass beat is really cool, so it partly makes up for that. It gets betteras we head into 0:56, though. I dig those those hemiola patterns at 1:00, which reminds me of the intro! Not only that, but you got this WEIRD muted lick in the background thats TOTALLY foreign! 1:16 has a fun rhythmic structure (I like the layout of the accents), and then it gets to repeat the idea a few times as it heads toward the climax and end-of-loop. Overall its good, but I prefer the regular boss battle theme.

155) Jets 'N' Guns - Shop Music

Hmmm it has a very full sound to it! It's like an extremely dense painting landscape of sounds (I'm sorry, my descriptions are terrible)! The way the offbeat-based melodies are used makes it all even cooler! Despite those things, I guess Im not usually into electronic rockish stuff when it's this loud? Still, the staccato stuff in the background is cool, especially at 0:48. Nice slow synth stuff, too. I dont like that electric guitar at 1:03 too much I feel like it doesnt belong, though I like how it continues the offbeat stuff. The acoustic guitar is much more welcome, though, and I enjoy how it takes over when everything else softens yes, very nice indeed, especially with the electronic punches beginning each phrase.
