I don't like Genshin's music very much, but Sumeru is probably the biggest exception, and 2022 covers Sumeru. Meanwhile, I broadly prefer the original Live a Live OST to the remixed one. Let's see what we got!

Thunderings of the Merciless is basically Thunderings of the Heartless which basically makes it a Kingdom Hearts track which makes this Yoko-on-Yoko violence. Sorry, but that's just logic. Megalomania has tremendous art. As for the song itself, it mostly keeps the original melody, but adds some interesting alternative verses. That said, the main melody feels a little much in this version. Like I wish it had been less prominent for some of the verses.

I refuse to believe that's actual German and not fake German. You cannot convince me otherwise. My German ancestors could come down from heaven and tell me they got it right and I would call them liars. Fischl is cool. This song does not do anything for the majority of its runtime. I don't understand it. We finally get the guitar around 2:40 and that's when it gets good but my feelings on the piece were largely shaped by those first few minutes. The ending is also a big ol' nothingburger. "Barf" feels like an uninspired remix of a SNES track. On the bright side, there's worse instruments to do your 1:1 arrangement with than a saxomophone. Oh there is a bit of a guitar here, cool. This is getting pretty solid. It also took a while to get going but I wasn't bored through the beginning segments so that's a plus.

Irresistable Force has a much better slow start than Germenschland. At the same time, it never fully resolves. I expect something in my big buildup songs! Iwata Akira really likes saxomophones. Which, again, respect. Also respect JP ordering for the names! though somehow Yoko Shimomura actually sounds more right to me, wtf brain you speak japanese what is wrong with you. Honestly you could copy/paste my thoughts on Psycholand here and they'd still apply, except we don't get anything that equals the introduction of the guitar and the shift to something more creative that we got in Pyscho.

0/3 sumeru makes me a sad wolf.
