rwlh 03/06/24 5:57:03 PM #206:	195/4031 @bebr117 Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim - Armored Bane https://youtu.be/gYMns-Q5GS4?si=Rvt9htCAyKmEWhm- This is a very chaotic song! I especially like the more chaotic bits, like at the start, where theres so much stuff going on. The amount of panning in my headphones sort of gives me neck pain though lol. This feels like a song that would be very polarizing to listeners; if it gets into VGMC I would expect it to lose in round 1 but keep it close. I would give Armored Bane to anyone who thinks Falcom is all guitars and violins. 194/3997 @loweffortmemes beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL - Chrono Diver -PENDULUMs- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtwJ1M5gZXg Into the top 4000! Great job everybody. I used the -fragment- version of Chrono Diver in a guessing game. This isnt my favorite Nekomata Master, but like Hideki Naganuma, even Satos off songs are still generally winning picks for me. This shows off his energetic/frenetic side, though without the bombast that characterizes something like Despair of ELFERIA. Also big bonus points for ticking clocks. I think thats the first appearance of ticking clocks, but it certainly will not be the last. 193/3982 @banshiryuu MUSYNX - Life is PIANO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf9vXkvjRro A peppy dance song that attempts to back up its bold claim that life is, indeed, piano. Remember what I said about ticking clocks? Heres another song that uses them, this time for a brief interlude halfway through. This is a big pop song that I can picture a choreographed dance routine to. 192/3926 @Paratroopa1 Phantasy Star Online - Tricktrack Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pioIQLRfzuw This is a fascinating song for me because I love how it starts with those foggy samples coming in, but then it focuses on a melody I dont care for, probably because of the samples. I think if this song had a different melodic line or even straight up cut out the melody altogether, Id like it more. Which is a shame, because it does a great job at being atmospheric and evocative and all those things I like. Like around the 1:45 mark is when the song peaks for me because that pesky melody isnt there and the rest of the song has room to stretch and breathe. Still cool though! 191/3882 @NBIceman Arc Rise Fantasia - Unexpected Fight https://youtu.be/pBwYmG7bU2U?si=vYaX8sTi4TR-oLUn File this under did not expect to like as much as I did. My relationship with guitars is questionable at best, but NBIceman gave me a song with guitars that soundedwell, maybe not real, but unique. That opening note is killer, and I love how the song circles back to the specific sound of that guitar. The actual composition feels pretty by the numbers, but the guitar gives it a really visceral quality. <cite>rwlh posted [p:979225193] in I rank 300...
