423: PSO2 - SAKURA ~ FRANCAS CAFE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiflXqZhGiU&list=PLeKaE-gusMmaq2FecWApCcMOVGJblcdrD&index=10

Nominator: NFUN (22/37)

Initial Score: 50.29 [#397]
Revised Score: 55.16 [#363]
Final Score: 51.79 [#423]

(First Thoughts: Its pleasant enough for background music, but I cant see it having much of a lasting impression.)

Feels like a credits song that plays over still pictures of the main characters relaxing or whatever.

...its also a disgrace to the Francas Cafe name, but Im trying not to hold that against the song. (Wow, I really hope I like Snowball ~ Francas Cafe as much on a second listen as I did on the first; this writeup is going to be so awkward if Snowball doesnt keep its ranking way, way, way beyond this inferior song.)

Either way, this song is fine. Kinda peaceful and relaxing, but not relaxing enough to get onto a relaxation playlist or anything.

[Final Thoughts: Its nice.]

422: JON OF THE SHRED - WALLS CLOSING IN:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbcsQRImSSA

Nominator: IhatethisCPU (12/15)

Initial Score: 50.00 [#406]
Revised Score: 50.00 [#425]
Final Score: 51.90 [#422]

(First Thoughts: Not bad, but at no point in that eleven minutes did I feel anything. I didnt like or dislike it, at any point, for any length of time. It wasnt musical white noise, it didnt put me to sleep, it just existed. Until it didnt.)

My lack of reaction may be tied to the fact that I have no experience with slasher movies to really get what hes trying to accomplish musically. Like, in theory, I get that hes drawing inspiration from a bunch of 70s & 80s horror film soundtracks, but Ive never heard those songs? It results in the song just being an eleven minute homage to...basically nothing from my frame of reference.

Im sure its probably good? I dont mind listening to it, I just also cant point to anything the song does that I enjoyed either.

...I suggest trying to get Snake to listen to it, hed probably know what the artist was going for and have a valid opinion on it.

[Not-Quite-Final Thoughts: Well, I still dont really get the song, but it feels like a notable jump in quality over the other 50 point songs. Moving this up a bit to 51-ish points.]

[Final Thoughts: Its a quality song and its somewhat interesting since its not a style of music I have any experience with.]
