A bit early, but theres only two songs left, so lets go ahead and hit it now:

=================

484: XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 - MOR ARDAIN - ROAMING THE WASTES:

Nominator: Hbthebattle (8/11)

Initial Score: 45.12 [#475]
Revised Score: 46.36 [#474]
Final Score: 49.40 [#484]

(First Thoughts: Dull.)

I havent listened to many songs from the Xenoblade series, but I havent liked any of the ones Ive heard. Its not as bad as Monster Hunter, but its definitely one of the franchises where Id be perfectly content to not hear again.

(I think I had to vote for Tornas Battle often at VGMC, but that was always a case of the other track being worse rather than an endorsement of Battle.)

The song isnt bad or objectionable in any way, but I find it impossible to care about it. Its just another in the tedious list of modern RPG songs that want to be epic.

...Honestly, even with that link, I have a hard time hearing Thriller in this song. Though somehow Thriller is the only thing I can hear in this recently created Gameboy remix of Mor Ardain:

Not that I have a good reason to post either of those remixes. Though I do like that Game Boy remix...]

483: PSO2 - SACREDNESS ~ ADAM:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEhFmVMt66s&list=PLeKaE-gusMmaq2FecWApCcMOVGJblcdrD&index=26

Nominator: NFUN (28/37)

Initial Score: 61.00 [#221]
Revised Score: 50.00 [#425]
Final Score: 49.99 [#483]

(First Thoughts: Evil church music. Not bad, though a fairly common topic for RPGs. Goes on a few minutes too long.)

This is the church service that never ends
I was gonna make a parody of the song that never ends
But that would require being able to write and I cant even pretends
...quiet you.

I cant bring myself to actually dislike this song as it is effective in creating a specific sort of atmosphere and is presumably succeeding at what its trying to do, but its not an atmosphere I want to experience and it just never ends... so Im going to call it a draw and leave it in the Pit of Neutrality.

[Final Thoughts: I know six and a half minutes isnt that long, but this song makes it feel like an eternity. I like what its doing, but its not the type of ambience Id listen to voluntarily and I find myself dreading having to sit through the entire thing each time.

Good song, good atmosphere, very memorable, just not something I want. So Im going to move the score very slightly down.]

================



DING!

Now leaving sub-tier and entering the Land of Neutrality

Officially leaving the things I disliked level and moving on to a block of songs that I neither liked or disliked (either because they inspired a total lack of reaction or I found the high & low points perfectly canceled each other out).



Havent double checked any of this, but if I remember correctly...

I believe Mamomos album (Uncles Forest in the Neighborhood if Google Translate is to be believed and I copied the right text), Bring Me the Horizon - Live at Royal Albert Hall, Poppy - I Disagree (More), and Linkin Park - Meteora still have all of their songs in play; so well done to those four albums.

UF8 & BlackDra90n still have all of their songs in play.

Toxtricity / Mycro, I think, only lost one at the R#s (so he had nothing under 50 points). A similar thing with Shonen_Bat, Im fairly certain none of his songs had less than 50 points.

...apologies if any of that information is wrong or I left out anyone elses notable accomplishments.
