| rwlh 04/04/24 5:20:28 PM #24: | 18/595 @dowolf Last Command - Judgment.exe Luminash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRBsYy2IaCI Some good old-fashioned final boss type music, replete with orchestral background, futuristic effects, ominous singingits all here. Ive maybe been hard on some similar nominations, but Judgment.exe does everything I love in a song like this. Its so intense and has a lot of variety, segueing effortlessly between the orchestral and futuristic parts. I always look forward to this song before I even click on it; a true experience, all the way through. 17/490 KecleonFan352 Tribal Hunter - Dance of Wind Whitetail https://youtu.be/y5o1sJPR6sw Top 500 lets goooo So, a disclaimer with this song: I always try to be a little wary of songs like this, with these sorts of stereotypical Chinese music trappings. Ive heard several songs that with that note progression thats everywhere that I commonly associate with East Asian stereotypes. Im not saying every song does that, or even any of them, but it is something thats on my radar. That said, this song is pretty great. You want to talk about a song that gets me pumped the heck up, its this one, probably more than any of the other 299. The energy is off the charts. The whole time it feels like Im running on a tightrope, bouncing off buildings, doing anything involving physicality. Its a song that makes me feel physical, which is so impressive given that Im really not a physical person. Dance of Wind just has that mood of Im going to go for a sprint now, and even more impressively Im going to like it. 16/476 @Isquen Lobotomy Corporation - Neutral03 Dr.ReB https://youtu.be/Jw2yM-RoVDE A chill, pulsating drumbeat with a nice, simple yet impactful melody. Unlike most of the other songs in the ranking, I cant quite figure Neutral03 out. I can pick up emotional vibes, but not so much the emotional cues. Its a deceptively normal (neutral?) song but I dont know what it expects me to take. And I really like that it feels alien, almost paranormal in nature (which I guess fits the game). Yet despite that, its very catchy and even danceable. Theres a lot to love about it. 15/443 @Collen Tarot Mystery - What is Your Birthday Ukiyotei Sound Team https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3DSFwMLgzo The specific vgm microgenre of ethereal SNES music is one of the my favorites. Aquatic Ambiance is the most well-known example, and a lot of them are underwater themes, like Diving from Waterworld. What is Your Birthday, from the curiously titled Tarot Mystery, takes a different approach. Its soothing like something like Aquatic Ambiance, but its more mysterious and even a little sinister. There are these lovely arpeggio-esque runs that fill up the song, plus twinkly effects. The whole thing is rich and evocative; I had it on loop multiple times when I first heard it. - ELIMINATION 15/59: dowolf Average rating: 7.3 Average ranking: 2638 Your lucky song: Let It Die - Let It Die ~ Come and Get It https://youtu.be/f1UR4uCFFN8 ELIMINATION 14/59: KecleonFan352 Average rating: 7.2 Average ranking: 2796 Your lucky song: Espgaluda - Fort City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUbhvkhN6uE ELIMINATION 13/59: Isquen Average rating: 7.9 Average ranking: 1902 Your lucky song: Children of Mana - Monster of the Forest / Forest of the Sickle Weasel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbjtJwSxJv4 Thank you all for nominating! ...
