Listened to the Tokyo Philharmonic version of the Trigger/Cross Medley. Not really enough different from the other one to say much about, but I did listen to it in its entirety. Going to finish up the Dux Content songs.



Dux Content - Heart of Death: I really like this one (at least 80 points), though I dont really know why... one of those songs where I listened to it in full a second time to try to find comments and still didnt come up with anything, but I do really like whatever its doing.

Dux Content - Hero Next Door: Not a fan (too hopeful and high-pitched), but I didnt mind listening to it. Probably scores somewhere in the 50s.

Dux Content - City Break: It wasnt too bad, until the loud banging shortly before the two minute mark... kinda glad I saved this one for last... too unique for me to actively hate it (I kinda like everything from after the banging stops to the end of the song), but... ow. My official score is Ow out of 100 and I dont know what that translates into in numbers, but less than 50 at any rate.

[I took a break after that song; figured there wasnt much point posting such a short update when I was going to listen to a few other songs later tonight anyway.]

Lets try someone elses suggestions for a bit... got a pair of Savatage songs, those should be different than what Ive been listening to lately.



Savatage - When the Crowds Are Gone: I dunno. Its definitely a genre I usually like and it hits the right notes of sadness (I wasted my time till time wasted me is a pretty great line) and the slow, somber outro is definitely nice.. Im just not fully connecting with it for some reason. Definitely not a bad song though, wouldnt mind listening to it again on a different day.

Savatage - The Hourglass: Took me forever to find this song on Spotify. Searching for The Hourglass under songs didnt get me anything and I think I wound up scrolling through the track listing of every album of theirs before I got to the one that actually had this song. Thats not relevant to anything, but it does pad out this writeup.

*pulls up the lyrics and sees how long the page is* Well, this must be a long song. *checks* 8:09. Not too bad; I was expecting around 15 minutes. Alright, onto the actual song.

[*some very confused Googling after the song seems to end with half the lyrics unsung later...*]

Ah, right, booklet notes. Im aware of those (The Protomen albums rely heavily on narration thats not actually in the songs themselves to tell the story); kinda odd that every lyric source I find includes paragraphs of extra text thats not actually in the song, but I suppose thats convenient for me.

Good song, will listen to again later. (I know you want more relevant text than that, but initial reactions rarely have relevant text.)



Savatage - Power of the Night: Not one of the songs Im supposed to listen to, but I feel obligated to click something with a title like that. Unfortunately, its not great; the opening instrumental has those really low tones that I love, but theyre fairly short-lived...and once we get to the actual song, its just rather generic. Not bad, I dont mind generic rock, but... well its obvious why this was not one of the nominated songs.



What else do we have... UF8 posted a song back on post #40, so why not? Lets see what Sad Bear is singing this time? Are they still sad?

*grabs lyrics and runs them through Google Translate*

I hate myself, I hate myself the most

Yes, sad bear is sad.

Manju - Everyone (Live Version) [aka.That song in post #40]: ...Well, shes a good voice actress, but I wasnt prepared for her to be so...loud. That breakdown was louder than Buckley. @.@



Time for one short song, so lets go with one of the many Piano Opera Music Box tracks:

Piano Opera - Theme of Love (Music Box Version): Its not bad... I think I like it a little more than the other version of Theme of Love on the album (the one that was actually ranked, somewhere), though its still not quite as good as the in game versions.
