449: THE EIGHTFOLD ROAD - SUNSHADE, CITY OF PLEASURES:

https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/sunshade-city-of-pleasures

Nominator: The_Mighty_KELP (21/32)

Initial Score: 57.41 [#286]
Revised Score: 52.99 [#395]
Final Score: 50.70 [#449]

(First Thoughts: Ehhh... Ive run out of things to say here.)

This song does certainly feel like the theme to a seedy city, filled with crime & corruption. So the song definitely accomplishes its goals and nails the feelings it wants to convey. I just dont know that its the type of ambience that I want to listen to very often. Like, it does what it wants to do perfectly, its just not exactly something I really enjoy out of context.

[Final Thoughts: Its got a good beat to it.]

448: THE EIGHTFOLD ROAD - DARK CAVERNS:

https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/dark-caverns

Nominator: The_Mighty_KELP (20/32)

Initial Score: 51.19 [#368]
Revised Score: 53.06 [#393]
Final Score: 50.75 [#448]

(First Thoughts: Not bad, but I wish it were more ominous? As is, I dont think the song really has a cohesive tone.)

Too EPIC METAL!!!!! to work as an ambient track, but its a cover of a very subdued ambient track so it cant actually be as epic as it wants to be. The song is trapped between both worlds and fails at being either one.

I mean, its interesting what they tried to do with the track and I feel it was a very tough song to try doing in this style: This is a soft, mysterious, orchestral piece about exploration... now EPICLY ROCK OUT TO DA MAX!!!! and I think they did everything they could to try to bring in the metal remix flavor while staying fairly true to the originals spirit, but I dont think the combination actually worked out.

[Final Thoughts: Well, its certainly not too metal (especially in comparison to certain tracks) and better than the score actually reflects, but.. I dunno.]
