"This is interesting. I like the lyric change and it's sung well. The added strings towards the end definitely add a helpful element because he feels pedestrian before that. Like, literally. Like walking down a cobblestone path in a lonely town." - First listen note

My favorite part of the song comes around 2:19 when it gets real quiet, and the guitar plays something that sounds so super familiar, but I've yet been able to place it. It just itches at the back of my mind, like something I used to hear on an oldies radio station.

Overall, the song is commendable in its efforts, its lyricism, its pronounciation, and attempt at capturing what a song would presumably sound like a millenium ago. One-thousand years. Now that I type it out, that's kind of incredible to think about. Still, it's a song I appreciate more for its craft than its music. It's not something I would listen to outside this list, and it makes me feel like a cloudy day outside a formal procession. Not a funeral, but something with a sombre march outside the town walls.

P.S. MAGGIE MAY!! That's what it is!!

More like fight against a shackled Guerrilla. It's a nice take on a Crypt of the Necrodancer boss, but it's not top one-hundred.

"Gamecube start-up" - First listen note

Another surprise drop! Honestly, it's less of a drop than a growing opinion of other songs. There are six songs beneath it remaining from the Weighted Yellows, but I can definitely say I've enjoyed them a bit more on relistens. Not much more, as four of the six are going very soon.

tabula rasa is nice. It gives Danganronpa 3 Intro energy, which I loved, and the xylophones are nice as well as the bass and the piano solo. I recommend a listen or two. As it had 292 views initially and it is (as of this writing) at 312 views, I'm happy to have listened to it for up to twenty times! Will likely continue to do so, but this is where it leaves. Welcome to the top hundred, tabula rasa!

Post-script From The Futuuure:
- Listening to the Despair Arc intro again, tabula rasa is to Dangan3 Intro as Sexy Sexy was to Tunak Tunak Tun. My brain makes connections that do not fit once I actually compare.
