That is interesting, though I dont like Emil - Karma either. </.<

Actually, I didnt care for the original Niers soundtrack at the time, though I did enjoy Automatas. Havent gone back to listen to the original to figure out if my tastes just changed so much over the years or if Automata is just that much better.

I also havent seen Yuki Yuna either, but the main character and Miyoshi Karin have really nice versions created for M.U.G.E.N., so I know a little bit from having to research those two for gaming reasons. It seems like its probably a good show, but probably a bit too dark for my blood. Minor Spoiler: The characters seem to have powered up states (Mankai), but activating them costs the use of part of their body. In game, this tends to prevent you from using certain attackslike if you lose your arm, then you cant punch anymore.

Seem like itd be played for a bit too much dramatic tragedy for me. Certainly neat from a gameplay perspective though.

542: LIVE - FEEL THE QUIET RIVER RAGE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LzP5DlXn14&list=PLBB25BAC1F72C0DE4&index=9

Nominator: azuarc (27/28)
Source: The Distance to Here (12/13)

Initial Score: 45.70 [#472]
Revised Score: 41.30 [#520]
Final Score: 43.00 [#542]

(First Thoughts: Doesnt really work for me, sorry.)

A harder rock sound than most songs on the album combines with vaguely spiritually gibberish about being saved by an invisible river that keeps the singer from turning to hate, creating something Im not really interested in.

I dont have any really specific complaints; its not so harsh that its unpleasant and its not a really preachy kind of spiritual, but theres nothing in the song that I can point to as something that I really like either.

[Final Thoughts: There are spiritual songs I like, really. Were... well were still got days to go before we get to the positive scoring songs, but some exist!]

(First Thoughts: Is there a band & song name combination more boring than Live - Stage?)

Oh boy, I cant wait to watch Live play Stage live on stage, said no one, ever.

...Alright, fine, so maybe someone did. I cant pretend to know if this song had fans.

[Uhh... dont really have a space filling song in mind...]

*aimlessly scrolls through Spotify suggestions*

Year of the Cat, huh? The Spotify app knows too much. Ive only listened to that on YouTube and yet, here it is. Like how last year it decided to start playing that Japanese wrestling theme that Id only heard on YouTube for ranking purposes.

*scrolls through most listened to songs by year*

Ah, heres something I havent heard in quite some time.

Neil Sedaka - Laughter In The Rain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-Nu8QeFJgQ

Nostalgic early 70s sound, easy listening, a saxophone, a rainstorm, and romance that isnt even the least bit explicit. *contented sigh*

[Final Thoughts:

There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies

...Would you believe I didnt see a connection to Just Communication until right now? Like, I didnt think it was that easy to connect Neil Sedaka to Gundam, but here we are.

*coughs*

Right, right, the nominated song. Lets put aside the smug snark about the song name aside and attempt to say at least one vaguely coherent sentence about this.

A bit of a harder rock song than Id like. Its not really hard, but Id prefer a more typical pop rock sound for the song. I also cant get anything, positive or negative, out of the lyrics.

He was a rock and roll messiah
She was known for her child care

I see a few people claiming this song is about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, but I dont really know a lot about either of them or have much interest in learning. I didnt even know she was a performerI just vaguely know her as that person who sued the makers of Guitar Hero over Cobains appearance in the game and fail to see any reason to learn more than that. I dont even know how the lawsuit ended (I presume with an out-of-court settlement and a patch to the game, but I dont think I have anything to base that on.)

Not that Im saying it is about those twoI have no other theories, its just...ya know...some lyrics I dont have any connection to or particular interest in, regardless of if it actually is about those two or not. The song is fine enough, but
