494: PSO2 - THE PERFECTION ~ PHALEG (MIDNIGHT):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KspafBdklS4&list=PLeKaE-gusMmaq2FecWApCcMOVGJblcdrD&index=11

Nominator: NFUN (30/37)

Initial Score: 42.67 [#487]
Revised Score: 48.23 [#457]
Final Score: 47.40 [#494]

(First Thoughts: Theres some nice, rather computerized beep-y sounds in the background, I like those. Ultimately though, it just feels like another RPG boss theme that wants to be overly epic and isnt really succeeding at it.)

The piano intro hits the perfect combination of tense and mysterious. Its like youre exploring some ancient ruins and you know something bad is going to happen, but you keep going because we didnt come this far to not explore the ruins, Sharon.

(Who Sharon is is an exercise left to the reader).

But I dont really like where the song goes where it starts. The beeping type sounds are nice, but they dont fit the earlier ambiance & theyre not pronounced enough, leading to the song quickly falling into the epic song that bores me with its epic-ness trap.

[Final Thoughts: The first 20 seconds or so are perfection. That mysterious ambience is just so, so wonderful that I cant hype it up enough. And then we become a battle theme, or something that sounds very battle theme-ish at the very least, and I lose most of my interest.]

493: PSO2 - SUPERLUMINAL ~ CHASE ~ ESCA FALZ MOTHER (PHASE2):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK6jPJmYmE0&list=PLeKaE-gusMmaq2FecWApCcMOVGJblcdrD&index=19

Nominator: NFUN (29/37)

Initial Score: 42.47 [#490]
Revised Score: 44.27 [#493]
Final Score: 47.60 [#493]

(First Thoughts: Eh.)

Not bad, but its another track where theres no moments that really grabbed me. Like Superluminal ~ Rush, this also feels like a decent song for a kart racing game. While the other one felt like a Power Up song, this feels like a song for a late game track or a challenge racedefeat this hidden character in a bonus race to unlock them type thing.

I suppose making me think of Kart Racing means the track succeeds in painting a picture of some sort, but its still not a terribly interesting picture and I still cant find any part of the track that I really liked. I guess the electric guitar was alright?

[Final Thoughts: Better than my first two impressions made it sound, but I still dont quite want to move it up to the next tier.]
