I heard Looting the Louvre in some dumb meme a while back and I just found out what it's from but I can't take the song seriously

MATCH 1

Rhythm Thief songs are pretty consistently meh to me, to be honest, and Looting the Louvre's no exception. By my recollection, the song I like the most from this game that I've heard is Advancing to the Sky Garden, and I think why I like it more than songs like Looting the Louvre is that it has this cool swingy big band style that I think is what I want Rhythm Thief songs to sound like. Looting the Louvre sounds more cartoony by comparison in a way that I think doesn't utilize the brass instruments and that general feel it has in a way I'd like it to.

Altered Genos isn't anything special to me either, but it's a fairly clear pick over Looting the Louvre because its use of that "world" sound is more closely aligned with my music tastes. I especially like 1:40-2:27!

MATCH 2

Sanctuary-SHU is an interesting song. I've only listened to Pixel Galaxy from Snail's House before, so these two songs are definitely a neat contrast. Makes me feel like I'm exploring the city used in the image for this video. I think I liked it less on the first listen, but I definitely like it more now.

Nothing to Declare's "Let it Die" is so cool! I went back to listen to this a lot when I was going through the nominations. It's just really catchy and I like songs like this a lot anyway. It's a shame it potentially gets fed to Glessing Way round 2 because Glessing Way's my finalist in my favorites bracket and I could conceivably take Let it Die over Fogbeasts round 3 to push it to round 4 before likely losing to Rose-Killing Carmilla. Not my #1 favorite discovery this year, but it's definitely up there.

Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure - Looting the Louvre:
Rating: 7.4/10 (prob a bit lower now)

Panzer Dragoon Orta - Altered Genos:
Rating: 6.9/10
A Ranking: 45/64

Looting the Louvre was, to be fair, the song that got me into Rhythm Thief, but it still sorta feels like the kinda song you'd like if you didn't really dig into the soundtrack much. It's good, don't get me wrong, some nice jazz but it only really gets going halfway through, and just doesn't really do much notable aside from be unique. I sorta feel this too with Altered Genos, but it does actually have some real cool melodies a fair bit through as well. I don't think they make up for the mostly kinda dull rest of the song though.

TASOMACHI: Behind the Twilight - Sanctuary-SHU:

A Ranking: 47/64

Let It Die - Let It Die ~ NOTHING TO DECLARE:
Rating: 8.6/10
A Ranking: 11/64

Huh, didn't know Snail's House did VGM! And it sounds nothing like I'd expect it to, lol. But it's honestly quite nice! It's perhaps not got a lot to it but it's pretty easy to get entranced in it, it almost reminds me of a couple Gurumin tracks a bit. Of course, it not having a lot to it is still to its detriment here, and it's also up against one of my favourite new hears too. I mean, it's not surprising I'd like NOTHING TO DECLARE I guess. It's just sorta my kind of buttrock but it's got a lot of variety to it too, which I really like! No idea how well it'll do in VGMC still (I guess I may find out in 20 minutes), but I'm glad to have heard it at the very least.

Whoops, already voted on this one but of course it was one that was kinda close to me anyways, two great songs. Still think WotW is a bit more memorable to me, but I won't be too sad if it loses.

(I voted LLW here, i wonder if that'll have anything to do with results)

Panzer Dragoon Orta - Altered Genos [9.0]
TASOMACHI: Behind the Twilight - Sanctuary-SHU [8.5]
NieR: Automata - Weight of the World / English Version [7.0]

Let It Die ~ NOTHING TO DECLARE is actually incredible though and I'm secretly rooting for it. Oops guess it's not a secret anymore. oops
