Well, I cant be positive that Gatling Carapaces is a remix, but the auto-translation says:

From the suite "Shell"
"Teppo Webbi" "Horse horseshoe crab" "Hanashako" "Fiddler crab" "Takaashi crab"
"Gazami" "Daphnia" "Caprellidae" "Frisode shrimp" "Eurypterid"
"Calappa" "Sea firefly" "Somen yadkari" "Uchiwa shrimp" "Red crab"
Remix song.

Which... doesnt quite give me enough information to search for, but seems to imply its some sort of remix or medley?



Id rather not imagine listening to the Taz-Mania soundtrack for that much time, thanks. @.@

456: LENA RAINE - SCATTERED AND LOST:

https://radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/scattered-and-lost

Nominator: MetalmindStats (15/28)
Source: Celeste (11/21)

Initial Score: 53.06 [#333]
Revised Score: 52.29 [#404]
Final Score: 50.48 [#456]

(First Thoughts: Its a fairly atmospheric track that does make good use of its runtime, but it never inspires any specific thoughts or feelings. So... high quality VGM thats probably not for me.)

I cant quite place any one feeling, emotion, or idea to the song. Its very...complicated, like it wants to be literally everything simultaneously. From background music for a random cutscene, to music for one of its platforming stages, to hey look! Ghosts!.

Which I suspect would give this song incredibly high marks from basically anyone thats not me, its just...I dunno, good enough & intriguing enough that I like it, but it doesnt do any one specific thing well enough that I want to keep listening to it.

[Final Thoughts: Cant think of anything else to say here.]

455: THE EIGHTFOLD ROAD - BENEATH THE SURFACE:

https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/beneath-the-surface

Nominator: The_Mighty_KELP (22/32)

Initial Score: 55.10 [#303]
Revised Score: 52.36 [#403]
Final Score: 50.50 [#455]

(First Thoughts: It starts off like its going to be a very emotional piece, then the performer remembers that they want to be GRR METAL and the song loses most of its identity.)

Its fine, but you know how it is; doesnt make me think of anything and the more intense sections (while quite short) seem entirely pointless. I dont dislike it, but I feel like I had this somewhat overvalued originally for how... typical it is for the album it came from.

[Final Thoughts: Each time I listen to this, early on, I think theres no way I can let this song get less then 60 points... then just before the two minute mark the song shoots itself in the foot by trying way too hard (and failing) to be epic. This is neither the first, nor last, time youll be hearing that criticism about the album.]
