NO GODS NO MASTERS

962. Ar Tonelico Qoga - METHOD_GRANZERO=SPEAR
Nominator: @dowolf
5.5 (5.5/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RllGYRY9tUw
I've always said I don't like hymnos but then people play like Exec Sphilia to try to prove me wrong. I now stand firm. The beginning is *so annoying*. There are some kind of cool parts but the singing is never in my style. It sometimes come close, but no cigar. I can't say that I actively dislike it, but I get no pleasure from it. (holy shit can you tell how long ago I made these rankings? regardless, still not a great hymnnos, at least for me). I don't like the singing, and I can't grab on to the rest of the song. If I astral project and detach my consciousness from my body and listen without ears, I can see a lot cool with it. And then I return to reality and can't actually *feel* that it's cool. Sorry Gust

961. Super Mario Odyssey - Jump Up, Super Star!
Nominator: @scarletspeed7
5.6 (5.6/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9r5hx47kxM
To be honest, SMO's soundtrack seems fairly weak, especially compared to other Mario platformers. This song has never really done it for me at all. It's trying so hard to have personality... and feels soulless. I think cute things like the coin sounds detract from it, somehow. It makes the whole thing kind of feel even more by the numbers, like it was a song built by committee to appeal to as many nostalgic Mario fans as possible. It just comes across as corporate to me. At least it's better than Lifelight.

I like Odyssey's soundtrack a fair amount, not that you'd know that from the VGMC picks.

Been a while since I've gone through but I know I liked a lot of the boss themes as well as the level themes for Cap, Lost, Lake (sort of), and Luncheon Kingdoms.

I don't know the soundtrack well, it's just a case where every single song I happened to have heard from it wasn't good, or like 7/10 at best. Included there is everything that I've played which is up through the first boss fight, and other miscellaneous songs. In particular, I remember mentioning that I'd truly prefer to listen to Triassic Nark over Fossil Falls

Of the songs you listed, I think I only heard Forgotten Isle 2, which sounds like a lesser Pac Man World 2 song

960. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Dreamy Theater - Hatsune Miku no Gekishou: Project Diva 2nd
Nominator: @Prody_Parrot
5.6 (5.6/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irllQ5VDmvA
I hate you art-- wait, dammit prody. This might've been alright if it wasn't fucking vocaloid. The super fast part is bad in this and probably not possible in reality, which I suppose justifies the use of vocaloid yet does nothing to ameliorate it. Like, it just doesn't sound good. Other than that, not terrible, I guess. Is it just me, or does Miku look especially uncanny in this video?

959. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Track 05
Nominator: @Se7enThrust
5.6 (5.6/0)
https://youtu.be/vERAIISX9n8
The beginning feels like it's pulled from an uninspired balloon-popping minigame, but after eight seconds it switches to having the ever-cursed Goblin Dance vibe. It's only like twenty seconds long and even that is basically just two five section segments looped twice. I could've made this

958. God Eater 2 Rage Burst - Invitation of the Butterfly
Nominator: @trdl23
5.6 (5.6/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQSN5DFbiXw
*This*. In past VGMCs I rarely made it past 15 seconds before half passing-out in desperation to protect my sanity, however, I have no choice but to remain conscious here. And apparently it gets much better? The voices are still a bit annoying but there's a really good song under that. Interesting... And then it starts with gross electronic noises and reminds me why I always turned off my brain in self-defense. Honestly, if I wanted to listen to something that was like this but good I'd just listen to one of the Ar Nosurge violin battle themes.

957. Blue Reflection - binGe -C17H21NO-
Nominator: @deogenerate
5.6 (5.6/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjkPJCrBhDA
Blue Reflection. What else needs saying?

This is extremely frustrating to listen to. It's designed perfectly so that I keep getting lulled to thinking it'll be alright and then it immediately gives me reasons to hate it again. Perfectly designed to inflict pain, almost like Invitation of the Butterfly. This may be the most polarized song I've ranked. Why do you do this to me Asano?

Rather listen to the original. The guitar doesn't fit super well even if it does sound good, and the percussion actively makes it worse. It increasingly falls apart as it progresses, increasingly emphasizes the "happy uplifting" blech I learned I hated from Asano. shower you dirty hippy

5.8 (5.8/0)
https://youtu.be/h759CWHsQSQ
Exactly the sort of song that informs most of my opinions on Yurkey Shimomura. It's aggressively fine. It makes me feel nothing. Well, it makes me think "I guess that's kind of cute", so that's something, I suppose. It seems peak nostalgia fuel, and not much beyond that

Keep in mind that rating scores for this tier are extremely sketchy. The order that noms will fall here is according to the very rough score I gave, and ties are ties; songs I present earlier for a given song were purely nominated earlier. I may even change some of these scores on the sheet after the fact

939. Fortnite - Title Menu
Nominator: @Snake5555555555
6 (6/0)

The link broke and I'm not sure which version is correct and then I realized that there's no way this deviates from a 5.8-6.3 ranking so I'm just not gonna put in the effort to find it

939. Overwatch - Main Screen
Nominator: @Snake5555555555

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg_H39xGmug
Like Snake's taste in actual music, but less bad. Still doesn't do much for me. I am very unlikely to enjoy extremely vocal-centric songs like this. Songs that can be described as "look how well I can sing" and are compositionally simple don't connect unless the singer really is that good. She's certainly not bad. That, however, is not the standard that the song is setting

938. Sir, You Are Being Hunted - Being Hunted (Gaslight Remix)
Nominator: @azuarc
6 (6/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cm7OmRHXgo
There are a lot of reasons I want to give this more points. You know that I often like very stupid and memey songs. This was not a bad bet on your part. I just can't in good faith give this anything higher. This is my limit. I'd feel embarrassed to place this higher. I feel a little embarrassed to even listen to it

938. Super Mario RPG - Beware the Forest's Mushrooms
Nominator: @PrinceKaro
6 (6/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbRJ733xiF4
Honestly, I never cared about this song nearly as much as everybody else seems to. It's... ok, and memorable, but doesn't do anything for me. This is the FF7 - Battle of these rankings. Under the old rankings, this is near the bottom. I'm unhappy it's higher in this system. Oh well

This song perplexes me. It's weird enough that I can't call it generic. It's not weird enough that I can comment further on its weirdness. It *does* *things*, but not *quite* enough for me to care. It somehow balances on the precipice of mediocrity in regards to every action. It's honestly an incredible balancing act

933. Spyro the Dragon - Tree Tops
Nominator: @PSI_NESS
6.2 (6.2/0)
https://youtu.be/u1Rz_m_HbFs
Ahaha. A PS1 mascot platformer song. Get used to seeing these. There will likely be many in this tier. I'm glad this song was nominated, actually. Having a perfect archetype is useful for demonstrative purposes. This is the epitome of why I find this genre lacking. It's just boring. I cannot care about basically a single thing that it's doing. I think it's muddy and bland. It lacks a strong melody. It lacks interesting instrument choices. It lacks cool harmonies. It lacks a creative structure. It's clearly *trying*, and all the more pathetic for its absolute failure

Ahahahahaha! Just in time for Halloween (I do not believe this topic will be ready in time for this to come out on Halloween, but I will try [HAHAHA]).

925. What Remains of Edith Finch - Edith's Theme
Nominator: @Johnbobb
6.3 (6.3/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gaHg_7-Zww
why is it nothing for a full minute. I appreciate what it's going for, and likely works very well in game. I just need a little more *meat* to listen to it on its own. It doesn't really go anywhere, and without a melody to carry it, it's generic AAA/Hollywood ambient music that's pretty much white noise, not even aiming strongly at any particular emotion to perhaps give it more impact. That horn at 2:20 is definitely the best part, and even that doesn't live up nearly to its potential

925. Halo 3 - Honorable Intentions
Nominator: @Snake5555555555
6.3 (6.3/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBvqgaFUdRk
This is weird. The drums and the synth clash pretty hard IMO, mutually ruining each other's impact, though I can see that it might be a great effect in somebody else's eyes. and then it disintegrates into generic spookyhorror and orchestral whatever zzz

The QFG series was meant to be played in sequence with the same character, similar to how Mass Effect works. When you reach the end of the credits sequence of QFG1, it shows a teaser for QFG2, which has a Persian setting.

925. Full Throttle - Legacy
Nominator: @Chinballz
6.3 (6.3/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doP8gF2rais
Local HEIFER nominates INCOMPREHENSIBLE 90's punk song. But is it HOT!?

The boffins at NFUN Ranks, LLC examined the Gone Jackals' song Legacy and found it to be lacking in originality and charm, being a generic, mediocre song that was inexplicably played too often on the radio and the tele to the frustration of the entire audience

925. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit - Parade
Nominator: @lucifiere
6.3 (6.3/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJCxxO7_7E0
I did not have high hopes for this song when it started, but it didn't turn out as bad as it could've... I find that I'm saying that a lot. Not encouraging. Anyway, very predictable and uninteresting by-the-numbers song (and yes, that includes the weird parts at the beginning)

918. Spider-Man 2 - Pizza Theme
Nominator: @scarletspeed7
6.4 (6.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czTksCF6X8Y
this song really makes you *feel* like you're spiderman

Who cares?. Wii Sports Resort - Bowling Theme
Nominator: @WickIebee

I got my hopes up that this was the original Wii Sports, but it's Resort. What a shame. This is just a jingle repeated a ton. Blech

Who cares?. Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale - Night
Nominator: @WickIebee
6.3 (6.3/0)
https://youtu.be/zo8SctuwF5I
Poor man's Atelier. Lacks presence to the degree where, when I started thinking of another song I knew while listening to this, I thought I *was* listening to that song; I knew I was listening to some kind of music, and my recollection of the other song was legitimately more impactful than this is in the present. That's impressive

(both of these being wickle was just a coincidence)

Who cares?. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn - Proud Fight
Nominator: @DragonImps
6.4 (6.4/0)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=OfKhxS1b7d8
yeah it's fire emblem. I think this is one of few songs where my enjoyment has been severely impacted by the sound quality. I can kind of tell what's it's going for, and it seems like it'd be cool. I can't really appreciate it though, especially for the first minute. The specific effect its going for is pretty hampered by the low quality, and it sounds like a mess to me. I think this would be good if remastered as something other than completely generic, soulless orchestra. Regretfully, I can't put this higher than I have. Sorry

Nominator: @Snake5555555555
6.4 (6.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCevGg7wKkM
For a song called "Ambient Darkness", this sure is more interesting than the song nominated that I'd describe as "Ambient Darkness". Not to say it's particularly good or anything. Mediocre God of War music or something

Who cares?. Splatoon 2 - Wave Prism
Nominator: @DragonImps
6.4 (6.4/0)

crazy bus intro. would be better if the whole song were crazy bus

Who cares?. Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom - Let the Battle Commence
Nominator: Rufus
6.4 (6.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TmmTLCtcV4
I'm very predisposed to liking JRPG music in general and battle themes in particular, but certain genres (especially orchestral) really have to be interesting to hold my attention. My noted dislike for Shimomura is an example, and I think (at least to some extent) Tales and this falls into a similar trap. This really fails to stand out to me in any real way. It's just there.

Who cares?. Thousand Arms - Depend on You
Nominator: @MargaretAnnMid
6.5 (6.5/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S5wMY-wcO8
She sounds bored. And generic. Like the rest of the song and the intro. It's got some cool flourishes that I like, but overall, zzz

Who cares?. Fez - Compass
Nominator: @PSI_NESS
6.5 (6.5/0)

Chiptune + reverb is an interesting combination. Too bad the song itself isn't heyo!

You can tell that my noms are outdated when I didn't nominate Ebb & Flow and Muck Warfare in direct response to seeing someone else nominate Acid Hues.

Who cares?. Fire Emblem: Fates - End: Lost in the Waves
Nominator: @dowolf
6.5 (6.5/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_A9az2xy3U
you were the ocean's mistake. I don't know why I don't like this song. Mycro and I think it may have something to do with a "lack of energy" on its part, which prevents me from getting into it like I would with something like an Episode 5 PSO2 song, which aren't that different. At this point, I think as large an issue is just a barrier formed of bias. I didn't really like this song when I first heard it, for that or another reason, and I got so sick of seeing it everywhere and hearing it all the time that I began to resent it. Maybe it should be higher. Blame everybody who insistently nominated versions of this for VGMC every year!

Relatively good for Love Live's brand of idol weebshit, at least, or maybe I'm just more tolerant. This isn't saying much.

In addition to the style of music all of you must know by now (and should've known already) that I hate, something about this song makes me feel like I'm about to fall over, constantly teetering at the edge of balance. Running forward to keep from falling, skiing out of control. It's unpleasant
