Haste_2 05/02/20 6:00:48 PM #230:	Whoops! Didn't you know that's my way of revising GG's rating upwards? (just kidding) 128) Granblue Fantasy - New World Order https://youtu.be/TpVxreT7NPU Composer: Tsutomu Narita Score: 7.5/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 12 (Lost R3), VGMC 13 (Lost R7 to Revenger) Favorite Part: The intro Yeah, I voted Amusement Park over this. I originally revised AP downward, but now I would revise it UPWARD now that I have the correct version. So about New World Order... Harpsichord start, yay! Drum choices help out with a bit of a rustic feel. Cool piano patterns, and then electric guitars plays fourths on top of the piano. Great stuff so far. And then when the violin gets put on top so lush and lyrical and soaring! Its seriously an 8.5/10 at this point.. Then the singers come in...uhhhh..all I can say is why? And every time the soloists go for a high note (which happens way too many times), it comes across as corny. 1:22 is pretty much the low point of it all very stereotypically corny melody focusing on tonic and minor 7th with corny syncopation, as if from a 90s cartoon. It has that active synth, at least. Fortunately, the rest is not so bad that I can't enjoy whats good about this track. 1:44 has really nice vocals in the background. Anyway, it climaxes at about two minutes in, but then what happens after that is fantastic. 2:07s violin gives a nice feel of winding down a bit, I guess. Then, 2:29. aw, yeah! The punctuated chords idea is pretty awesome there. At 3:23 the separate vocal line doing long notes is actually a nice subtle addition. Love how it ends pretty much the way it starts. 127) Wild ARMS 5 - Persephone IPCC_3927 (Battle) Series rank: 3 of 3 https://youtu.be/_HvPs6xlPeg Composer: Noriyasu Agematsu Score: 7.6/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 2 (Lost R5 to Rhythm of Red) Favorite Part: The first 13 seconds Whooooa those violin arpeggios at the start! WHY DO THEY SOUND SO GOOD?! (part of it is the hemiola) The various synths sound great, too like, really good. I like their reverb. So energetic makes me want to jump around! Lots of cool decresendo efffects. Violin comes back at 0:48, yay! It plays a similar idea again, playing rhythmic stuff, but then switches to a lyrical style nice! Cool trills near the end. Note-wise and harmony-wise, it doesnt seem like it should sound this good, but it just does! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:938501105] in Haste2 ran... [t:78392394]...</cite> <quote>Whoops!
