I think I may push through with a double update today, just to officially get through the bottom 200 songs; between the early start today and the progress milestone, it seems like a good time for it.

Either way, the rest of the ten songs:



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

412: POKEMON SUPER MYSTERY DUNGEON - LUSH FOREST:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efpQWootg3k

Nominator: Hbthebattle (6/11)

Initial Score: 51.73 [#356]
Revised Score: 55.79 [#354]
Final Score: 52.35 [#412]

(First Thoughts: Another in the long line of not bad, but I have no reaction to it songs.)

Its an alright dungeon theme, but it doesnt do anything for me. Its just one of many decent pieces of VGM that is pleasant enough, but not really something Id choose to listen to.

[Todays space filling song is another of my nominations from Rakas duet ranking topic:]

bare - Best Kept Secret:

A fairly simple song that does a great job of establishing both characters personalities and the tone of the musical in general; I dont know much about the musical beyond this song, but between Jason refusing to say I love you back at the end of the song and the general feel, Im pretty sure this story isnt going to have a happy ending. The only real question is which of them dies, or if both die. I refuse to believe in the possibility of them both surviving after a song like this. Ive actually managed to avoid learning anything about the rest of the play because I dont want details interfering with my enjoyment of the track.).

[Final Thoughts: Sadly, I really dont have anything to add here.]

411: MASAFUMI TAKADA - BOX 16:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLD8tK_xwdo&list=PLLmUcHIAJVw_GCWsy10Bv4-rtr6XDQfSU&index=9

Nominator: DoctorJimmy133 (14/27)
Source: Danganronpa Necrodancer the of Crypt (8/20)

Initial Score: 50.75 [#392]
Revised Score: 55.86 [#353]
Final Score: 52.40 [#411]

(First Thoughts: I was going to give this a terrible score (the cowbell practically sent this to the bottom), but I do kinda like the trumpets section of the song and the piano. Its enough for the song to hit the low 50s.)

Yes, Im really putting this song this high up the list based almost entirely on it featuring a trumpet (or...some trumpet like instrument, again, I really dont know music). I LIKE WHAT I LIKE.

[Todays space filling song takes a look back at a song from a past ranking topic that I didnt give a high enough score to:]

Thanks 4 Nothing:

I cant remember who nominated it or how many points it got, but I know it wasnt enough. This song reached my Most Listened Songs from 2019 list on Spotify, even though all the times I listened to it for ranking purposes were done through a YouTube link. I liked it enough to actively seek out a Spotify link and listened to it quite a few times.

Either way, shes got a powerful voice and I always need more songs about doomed relationships. This is the end. I dont think we can be friends. Is...blunt, but as Ive said, I like bluntness with my sadness.

[Final Thoughts: Definitely some very nice instruments here, it makes it very close to being something I like unconditionally... but its still not quite there.]

410: LIVE - T.B.D.:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5sFCshZWwo2ZPupqc2n7gd

Nominator: azuarc (21/28)
Source: Throwing Copper (11/15)

Initial Score: 52.52 [#339]
Revised Score: 50.00 [#425]
Final Score: 52.43 [#410]

(First Thoughts: Well I dont particularly wish to discuss the Tibetan Book of the Dead, LSD, death, or the person this is about... Ill at least admit that its interesting. If someone were to tell me they absolutely loved this song, or found it fascinating, I would completely understand that. Its rather brilliant, just not something I want to listen to often.)

The titles letters are an acronym for Tibetan Book of the Dead. It is a very large book.

This song was a portent of things to come, as the groups next album, Secret Samadhi, had many references to Eastern philosophy in the lyrics. That album did not sell well.

Book is large. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Its not small. No, no, no!

...Heckling other peoples responses aside, Im not entirely sure why I had this with a positive score. If I dont want to listen to the song, and I dont want to talk about it, and I dont want to think about it, then it actively is not a song that I liked. I wouldnt say I disliked it either, I just...*shrugs*

[Later: ...Thats the second time I made a honeycomb joke in this topic (though this one will probably be the first posted since the other song is on a higher tier). Im so one dimensional that even the commercial parody jokes get recycled multiple times.]

[Not-Quite-Final Thoughts: Actually, I do kinda like this. Lets see about moving it back to its original score?]

[Final Thoughts: Ehh... slightly lower than the original score, but more than the second. This is one of those songs that just kinda slides around the low 50s. Its good, just not my type of subject matter.]
