These sort of driving dungeon themes are generally songs I don't like as much as the rest of the fanbase. I think that does apply here since this is probably one of the most popular 3rd tracks, though I'd still easily call this one of the better songs like this myself. Also I've never noticed this before, but if you focus on things besides the bass there are some really really cool melodies in the backing melodies (the fact that this is difficult is mainly what holds the song back though). The Evo version is definitely better to me at least. Still has all the plusses of the original, but the "Singa-fication" of the main melody actually works in it's favor here. The techno buzzy sort of sound here is much more pleasant on my ears than the booming bass of the original. (Note: I don't actually know whether or not Singa worked on this particular track but it sounds like it). Although, the more subdued melodic parts at around 1:00 to 2:00 are probably better in the original version.

A reminder: these songs were assigned RANDOMLY. I have been praying to get this, and I did only though dumb luck. The original is really good and all but

SINGA-SAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! WHY ARE APOIDEANS ASSAULTING MY EARS!? Some parts are good (I like the super goofy orchestral hits) but WHY! WHY? WHY

I dunno what's going on in this scene, but I hope it involves some stealth work in some dark city blocks, trying to sneak into the back entrance of a night club or thieves hideout or something. I've been listening to these collectively on my laptop, and the bass in the evo version sounds like absolute ass. Like, one step above fart noises. I know the speakers aren't fantastic, but they haven't sounded this awful for the other tracks. Plus I really don't care for what the rest of the variant is doing. Weird noises all over.
