Chiptune + reverb is like, the easiest auto-like for me I needed more Who cares?. If My Heart Had Wings - Something I'll Never Give Up Nominator: @r0xm2n 6.5 (6.5/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKoI7Kbb7Pk It sounds nice. Who cares?. STELLIGHTS/Dynamix - Lucentear Nominator: @Prody_Parrot 6.5 (6.5/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QtNXUbbkLY It's got a feel to it I can't really describe. Poppy? Peppy? I guess I used "saccharine" to describe something similar in Overdose from Blue Reflection, though this doesn't aspire quite to those levels. Definitely at least Asano-esque, and that combined with generic rhythm music makes for a pretty middling song Who cares?. Fire Emblem 7 - Legend of Athos Nominator: @OrangeCrush980 6.5 (6.5/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p2CZMBAwo0 This song really doesn't work on these low quality instruments. Seems to be a trend with Fire Emblem.

Who cares?. Tetris - Theme A (Korobeiniki) [Intense Symphonic Metal Cover]
Nominator: @MargaretAnnMid 6.2 (6.2/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfuxwAAEi8g I am the man that arranges the blocks... One of the more reliable ways for a Youtube video title to turn me off is to have it be in the form '<x> Symphonic Metal Cover'. This is a perfect example of why. There are a few decent people who do metal covers, and then there are legions who are just garbage. The mixing is awful, and the cover is terribly unimaginative. The rapid fire drums at 3:40 just anger me. This is this high because I don't hate *listening* to it, but I detest what it is. You'd think somebody trying to break into such an overdone Youtube niche like Metal/EDM vgm covers would actually be good at it. Distressingly, this guy seems to have amassed a following anyway. I'm honestly not sure if this was a joke nomination or not. "how can a mix feel so empty yet so overbearing. it's like everything is too quiet and then the drums are 200% reverbed. singa-tier" -yourvinished, celebrity reviewer Who cares?. Love Live!

Dark Cloud 2 - Carnival Night Nominator: @lucifiere 6.3 (6.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHskdcfrkV8 It's like people are trying to get me to hate Dark Cloud 2's soundtrack. Why would this nominated? It's a very unsubtle waltz, which is nothing uncommon, with an unspectacular accordion, which is also pretty easy to find. I'm sure you could, without much effort, find a dozen non-vgm songs *just like this* that are vastly superior --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ...

Something like the Final Choice, which presumably has the same role ingame, succeeds as a standalone song as it's actually worth listening to on its own. This is not.

At least this is the nadir for your Western songs, Rob. Unfortunately, this has the dubious honor of being the worst mainline 3D Fallout theme, a fact I know because I got *all 3* nominated. By two people, granted, but that means one of those people nominated two! They're like the same song! I didn't score them the same but they're still like the same song!

Not a particularly inspiring source, nor a particularly inspiring melody insertion Who cares?. beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS - Programmed Sun Nominator: @JONALEON1 6.8 (6.8/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaQyhp82a3I Ask anyone: I've usurped azuarc as the king of Granado Espada. It's not so much that I love every song in it to death but that a fair proportion was good enough for me to listen to regularly, and that there's *so much* of it. This also implies that there's a good deal of songs that I left out. Quite a bit of what I saved was some kind of, I dunno, trancey EDM that was more beat than melody which is fine if done right but not terribly exciting. And quite a bit of what I left out was the same. The fatal flaw in these songs is length. There's only so long I can listen to something like that. 8 minute (looped) Umineko songs? Great, they've got a lot of weird shit going on to keep my focus. There are other long songs I got nominated that have yet to go out (obviously), because they have the variety to sustain them. This long, pointless ramble that I'm writing to kill time while waiting for the song to finish does, in fact, have a point, and that point is presented thusly: this song isn't interesting enough to justify its length. It does some cool things but those things would be a lot cooler if they happened in a third to a half of the time. I just can't focus for that long, which is a shame, because this really could be higher... and yes, I know. It's ""trance""; you're supposed to kind of space out and relax. But I can do that with the engine sounds of the Enterprise, and that wouldn't get a good rating either (though it is fire). Trance needs to do something to pull me into it so I can immerse myself. Without that, it's not hypnotic. It's just white noise... okay, it's finally over and there wasnt a satisfying ending either. darn --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ... Copied to Clipboard!

Terraria - Jungle Nominator: @BetrayedTangy 6.8 (6.8/0) https://youtu.be/ehMCqtBBUXU For as much as I love the game, Terraria music doesn't really blow me away, and since I've heard this song for probably 40 hours, it would've needed to be something special to hold my attention after all this time. It works great in context at least. Although, the Underground Ice theme was surprisingly engaging after I listened to it for hours while farming something. It's odd how both this and Plantera were nominated independently.

Maybe it's even more generic than I thought, or it somehow managed to stick in the back of my mind for two years. I detest the video Who cares?. Medal of Honor: European Assault - Dogs of War Nominator: @azuarc 6.9 (6.9/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMYA9nEDFsY This kind of stirring orchestra doesn't do much for me, though at least it's better than straight-up *boring* orchestral that does *actually* nothing for me Who cares?. Pokmon Trading Card Game - Grand Master Duel Nominator: @Prody_Parrot 6.9 (6.9/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akM8HnLrYak Very nothing. Some of it isn't nothing, I suppose. Those parts are still nothing to me --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ... Copied to Clipboard!

Who cares?. Ace Combat X: Joint Assault - Nightwatch
Nominator: @UF8 6.9 (6.9/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR6NJi6O9ag It doesn't really do anything. Oh I guess something kind of happens 2/3 of the way through. Not something that special though. I'd rather read Terry Pratchett or look at some paintings than listen to this Who cares?. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - Rock it, Pack Attack Nominator: @Akkrillic 6.9 (6.9/0) https://youtu.be/rsvHQCTgHvg I felt an overwhelming sense of resignation when the song started. I already have middling expectations of mascot platformer music of this era, and mediocrity seemed to be the route the song was gonna take. One of my (non-vgm) friends last night {last night years ago} said that he thought Crash music was cool and interesting, which confused me, and I was ready to offer this song up as an example. After seeing my brother play hours of Crash, I can at least admit that there's some decent music in there... just not this, thanks. Anyways you see the score {maybe}. A minute in it got decent. Not something to write home about, but at least it's not a disgrace. The first minute was *dreadful* Who cares?. Age of Empires - Slow and Spacious Nominator: Muzzleflash 6.9 (6.9/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkXhL3zsTHQ I think I've reached about where I gave up trying to finish my rankings the last time I gave an attempt at it. I slogged through one too many songs like this, trying to construct a fairly rigourous preferential ranking, and just couldn't anymore. this is a song it has a score next --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ...

Who cares?. Godzilla (Game Boy) - Before Level
Nominator: @Raetsel_Lapin 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0KmH4HJ3K4 The first nomination!... which I ranked 900 songs in. Too bad it's not that great. I can at least respect that it stands out from its contemporaries Who cares?. Bastion - Mother, I'm Here Nominator: Ian 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y9FQUzCZPg really just not my thing. I have to admit that it really creates a powerful one-of-a-kind mood. Who cares?. Bear in the Big Blue House (GBC) - Track 20 Nominator: @FL81 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHtFimiyEi0 Pretty repetitive. The very simple bassline I like for some reason.

Who cares?. Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star - Healing 03
Nominator: Zyxyz's Mom 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIcEMxbS3eg that certainly is a piano, and that certainly is a guitar. The way Hatoful songs evolve like this can be hit-or-miss. If I'm not really into the song, I kind of roll my eyes at it. Aside from that, it's a pretty repetitive song. It needed more sections like :50, and less of the same percussion and piano loops Who cares?. If My Heart Had Wings - A New World Nominator: @r0xm2n 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZv8xFnAkOk hopefulvnwhatever.mp3 Goes for a introspective and uplifting mood but just ends up being slow and generic. The very beginning is the best part. At least that I can pretend is the beginning of a Phantasy Star Universe song. Nice windmills tho Who cares?. Dark Cloud 2 - Premonition of Something Going to Happen Nominator: @lucifiere 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IMOEAmL968 Feels kind of Mario RPG in its instrumentation. Upon finishing it, I think its composition is also reminiscent of yurkey's, ie, boring. zzz --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ... Copied to Clipboard!

Who cares?. Pokemon Black/White - N's Farewell
Nominator: Thomas 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzKRuwKyJmY For the longest time, I had this at the very bottom of my 7s range of songs. Now that I'm listening to it again... yep that's right Who cares?. Grand Theft Auto 4 - Soviet Connection Nominator: Rob 7 (7/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyjQUBhfE30 Always a little weird to me how famous this song is, even with GTA 4 being extremely popular in its day. It's just very much there. Maybe it's because it straddles the boundary between archetypical western VGM and VGM that's quite clearly VGM. You can kind of see this being part of a movie soundtrack, but it makes much more sense as VGM, and so people whose choices are chiptune Nintendo music and orchestral thought this stood out --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ...

Who cares?. Radiant Historia - Where the Wind and Feathers Return
Nominator: @OrangeCrush980 6.9 (6.9/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEdASBEgln4 I'm going to state for the record that your batch of noms was the worst in the topic. Not that they were necessarily the worst songs on average or anything, or that any stood at as physically painful. It's just that it's the highest concentration of ""oh my god I don't care"" in this ranking. It was a such a slog to get through, especially seeing as half of them were from series I define as ""dreary"". If you're not gonna go with an obscure favorite to nom a lot of songs from, please spread out the style of your nominations so I don't have to listen to 8 boring orchestral songs in a row that don't do anything interesting from franchises I already know that I don't like going in, and if you are going to do that, be like Rufus and have your songs be so nothing I could skip before even listening and nail what my write-up would've been. The worst part of my Battle Theme rankings were the string of songs that were decent but I didn't care about. You have single-handedly replicated that. Unrelated, but it's kind of impressive how many of your noms have broken links Who cares?. Radiant Historia - An Earnest Desire of Grey Nominator: @OrangeCrush980 6.9 (6.9/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdr-usgDcDs please limit your shimomura noms to 1 in the future thanks Who cares?. Tales of the Abyss - Oracle - Coercion Nominator: @OrangeCrush980 6.9 (6.9/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqAJi3eDEFQ please limit your tales of noms to 2 in the future thanks Who cares?.

I guess I can see why you tried nominating the scene with it, because on its own, it's not much of anything at all. Those climatic notes are pretty good, at least.
