Revised Score: 54.00
Final Score: 53.81

(First Reaction: Not the type of Battle Theme that bores me, but RPG Battle Music is still far from my favorite genre.)

It's better than most battle themes because there's a sense of hopefulness mixed in with the RAHHH BATTTLE aspects, very "not giving in against a powerful threat" vibes and I can get kinda into that. It also doesn't feel overly epic or intense, so it doesn't put me to sleep or become tedious, so that practically puts into a high tier of battle themes by itself. It's just not really a style of music that I tend to favor, so it's an... "I like it, but not really 60 points like it like it" type song. Good enough and great for what it is, but not exactly something I'm looking for right now.

[Final Thoughts: A desperate struggle with hope in their hearts. Good battle theme and more emotions than expected from the genre, but still not a preferred style of song.]

(First Reaction: This is the swirly eyed emoticon converted into audio form.)

Definitely one of the strangest tracks ever nominated, but it's not quite an oddness that I find pleasing. It's like the audio is skipping with lots of "pulsing silences" which are rather the exact opposite of pleasing... I mean, it's interesting as a concept and lends it a very alien feel, but it's not exactly something I'd choose to experience on a regular basis. So... positive points for standing out and being very unique, but not all that far into the positive point categories because it's not a very 'fun unique'? I dunno. It kinda defies being judged at all.

[Final Thoughts: I'm conflicted between "I really want to get more experimental and weird songs like this so I should give it a very high score to manipulate future nominations" and "I'm honestly not *that* into it, as much as I appreciate it being here". I suppose I'll go with what feels like the most accurate socre with a note that I want more like this, even though the score doesn't entirely reflect that reality.]
