loweffortmemes 06/30/22 9:56:51 PM #72:	Steel Assault - Heart of Concrete Etrian Mystery Dungeon - Hoist the Sword With Pride in the Heart Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambiance MATCH 1 Precipitous Combat has parts where it sounds like it could be cool but then kinda drops the ball a bit. The biggest example of this is at 1:03 where the melody is getting good for me until 1:05/1:06-ish happens. Other parts of the song are just not very remarkable to me. If only this battle was on the big bridge, I'd like the song more! Heart of Concrete is one of my favorite discoveries in the contest this year! I think it's my third-favorite song in Bracket C too. Other people have brought up SSH already, but this definitely carries the energy of SSH songs, which pretty much sums up why I like this song so much. Part of it is the quality of the instruments in this song. Especially the very crisp sounding drums. Gotta love when the kicks have just the right sound to them. And speaking of the drums, one thing I always like about these rock songs is the drumming pattern they have. I feel like I'm just praising 4/4 time here when I say this and I swear this is different in my head, but those strong 2 and 4 beats with the tempo the song's being played at always feels really good. Like I have to tap my feet along to a song like this. I think this is also one reason that I tend to like a lot of Falcom songs. Of course, the melody here is very good as well. I knew there were songs I liked from Qwesta with the Devil Engine soundtrack, but it's funny how Forest Investigation didn't do a whole lot for me, but then Heart of Concrete comes out and instantly shoots to the top. I honestly wasn't expecting something like this from Qwesta based on previous songs I've heard, but I'm definitely pleasantly surprised! MATCH 2 This arrangement of Hoist the Sword With Pride in the Heart is really good! I've said before that I like these arrangements of Etrian Odyssey songs over the FM synth of EO3, so that's one advantage of this song over the original EO3 version. The instrumentation here is great as well. The brass at 1:35 is especially nice, but everything about this song is great. Chani's Eyes is somewhat decent. Parts like 0:41 are nice with that hint of melancholy, but I feel like I'd prefer them more with real instruments. Then there's parts like 1:31 that I just don't really care for. Similar to Precipitous Combat, there's some good, some bad, and mostly unremarkable. MATCH 3 Aquatic Ambiance is pretty up there in Donkey Kong songs for me. Granted, with how highly I think of a lot of songs in VGMC, David Wise music doesn't really hold up in comparison, but this song, Stickerbrush Symphony, and Forest Interlude are some of the songs that come to mind for songs I like from him the most. I have no real comment on Frantic Aspic other than I don't like it at all lol.
