I'm finalizing the scores for songs with 8+ points now, after having organized them sorted by preference. The scores I'm assigning based on that differ from the initial scores I gave by like .5 points on average. They're jumping all over the place. And these are songs I like a lot!
Just reminding you to treat even the scores in the 7.5-8 with a grain of salt --- The death is my life, the strength becomes my weakness, the journey has ended ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was literally just listening to this yesterday and thought to myself "woah this is cool jazz I wish I nominated this for NFUN's topic he'd love this" it was a very good idea for a nomination. I have no idea what's wrong with me that it isn't clicking. Something about the trumpets, maybe.

The quiet organ interlude added a lot of weight to the rest of the song and gave a sense of direction to the riffs which it badly needed. Who cares?.

Nominator: @Raetsel_Lapin 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YurwtL6fsgs "I like the Seinfeld-esque boops that are in the background. Nothing else about it stands out much.

Air Combat - Head First Nominator: @Direkrow 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGR9gv1KHTQ I'd never have been able to guess this as Ace Combat. It has none of the uniqueness of the series at all. Really, it was a pretty bold choice to change the style of art, music, and name like that. Honestly a bizarre decision Who cares?. Dungreed - Pixel Adventure Nominator: @Direkrow 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxN05mH9LSU This song isn't as pixelly as I was led to believe. Chiptune/rock mixes I know bother a lot of people. It's fine enough for me, and I think the mixed parts are probably the best. At the very least, the pure rock portions are fairly whatever.

For whatever reason, I expect *something* after the first two lines.

Nominator: Zyxyz's Mom 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roNGM9wJOnY Leans too heavily into an emotion I don't share. I imagine this would be powerful in-game.

Vatlva - BGM No.11 Nominator: @MycroProcessor 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztsPsFnWTRA Yuzo Koshiro is an absolute madman. Not generally a fan of this sample-heavy style, as you may have gathered from earlier writeups where I said the same thing (or later writeups, if you're psychic and I ended up putting this lower than those).

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - Battle Theme Nominator: @BetrayedTangy 7.3 (7.3/0) https://youtu.be/VRXKF3lMh8k The Thousand Year Door was a disappointing soundtrack for me.

Nominator: rukir 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4YPVdjnNes Cool boops in the background. The foreground doesn't really interest me much. The brassy horns were cool for the first few seconds and then they didn't do anything interesting and their timbre acted against a lot of what they did. They sound super weak for so much of it. :25 is just a joke. The parts without horns are easily the best, and that should *never* be the case with me.

Who cares?. Al Unser Jr's Turbo Racing - Circuit Theme C
Nominator: @Se7enThrust 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keMpZHf7j6o To explicate my ""prove me wrong"" comment from Hydrocity further: some franchises, like classic Sonic, you probably shouldn't even try, because anything noteworthy I'd've been exposed to already. Some, like KH and NES chiptunes, *may* sometimes surprise me, but I so consistently just don't care that it's not worth it. I respect that you wanted to share songs from your NES rankings, and maybe you knew me well enough to know that I don't really care for NES music, or noticed that other people weren't really nomming this kind of song. I do like being exposed to different types of music that I don't know well or have many favorites from. But you'll have to shovel so many examples at me that it's just not worth it. There's plenty of music I don't know well that I'd be far more likely to find stuff I enjoy a lot in. If this ranking has taught me anything, it's that there just isn't much NES music I like, and I'm ok with that. I'm ok with not finding the six hidden bangers I'd adore to avoid listening to 787 snoozers. If I say I don't like NES music in the future, please don't try to prove me wrong. I'm good Who cares?.

They trigger some weird atavistic part of my brain that instantly specifically triggers my "fight" reflex. God even just thinking about it is upsetting. Anyway while I was ranting about OC Remix I forgot that this was even a remix. It may be the pointless remix I've ever heard. Like yeah it adds some stuff that ultimately isn't really necessary. The original instruments are high enough quality that upping their resolution with real instruments isn't actually an improvement, and the specific changes are so nothing to me. This gets exactly the same score the original would --- The death is my life, the strength becomes my weakness, the journey has ended ... Copied to Clipboard!

Who cares?. Dungeon Fighter Online - Wind of You
Nominator: @azuarc 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBmepA9mKZY I dig the intro (has the feel of some GE songs) and I like the distorted vocals, but the chorus is kind of whatever. Not terrible just not a bonus Who cares?. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Icarus Nominator: @scarletspeed7 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns7fNPiNiNc It's like Re-Awake if Abo didn't want it to do anything Who cares?.

Who cares?. Civilization VI - A New Course
Nominator: @Regaro 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2aB_uXLVSA It's no Baba Yetu, I can tell you that. Going for such a generic style was a bold choice Who cares?. Touhou Kaikidan ~ Mystic Square - Alice in Wonderland Nominator: @Regaro 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKOsjHOzEJo Probably superior to the original song. Thankfully, I avoid EDM Touhou arranges like the plague, so I've not been exhausted on this genre that likely has near-zero variability. This song is good, so long as you don't listen to anything else like it. Its faint novelty is most of what it has for it. It's like neo-Newgrounds music. wtf was that break at 2:40?? and why are her eyes so weirdly positioned??? --- The death is my life, the strength becomes my weakness, the journey has ended ...

Who cares?. A Hat in Time - She Came from Outer Space
Nominator: @Shonen_Bat 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GWPiVJk7rs This makes me think of Jimmy Neutron for some reason... I love reading some of my writeups years in the future. That was the exact reaction I had after listening to it later. This impression comes from the beginning of the song too, not from the spacey bits later. Those (cheaply) remind me of Robo Patrick. Anyway, the relevance of these comments is that this is a pretty uninspired, by-the-numbers song for this atmosphere (or lack of atmosphere space joke HA HAA). Some of the guitar work has promise. Think it could've been made a bit better with small changes without necessarily pumping more creativity into it Who cares?. Touhou 8: Imperishable Night - Nostalgic Blood of the East ~ Old World Nominator: @Prody_Parrot 7.3 (7.3/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bif5xgLR8Gk Feena looking kind of odd ngl Who cares?.

Will I have mentioned I don't really like Shovel Knight music yet? I don't really like Shovel Knight music Who cares?. Hearts of Iron IV - Main Theme Nominator: @handsomeboy2012 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHgvavOWzD8 Pretty good for the generic "epic dramatic" orchestral aesthetic it's going for Who cares?. Yakuza 0 - Trouble Shooting Star Nominator: @Direkrow 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlEGflonuZA A pretty nothing Yakuza 0 song for me. I can see where and how it's going for emotions, but they don't hit.

Who cares?. Murasaki - Rainbow Colours
Nominator: @UF8 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kxJtKx23mA When you asked which Tsurugi songs to nominate, I could've answered "any of them except this one". Not that it's bad, just not my favorite, and clearly enough not my favorite that I recognized how I liked it compared to the other ones. I'm not sure what the first comment says, but Google Translate's take aligns p well with my opinion of the track: "Ah, it's a song" Who cares?. Streets of Rage - Fighting in the Street Nominator: @rwlh 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yln1vew2mFs I remember this oddly well for a song that doesn't stand out that much (if I've said this before, apologies. If I have yet to say it, deal with it in the future). Something about those sawtooth waves feels both very common and like something I haven't heard before. Not my favorite Koshiro. Solid enough at least Who cares?. Rise of the Triad - Goin Down the Fast Way Nominator: @rwlh 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wv5Ki3g5f8 Good geometric bloops and timpani.

Who cares?. Marvel vs Capcom 3 - Victory Arcade
Nominator: Neotelenta 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdNL1ipVq-g "Does" stuff, but seems to me it doesn't really do much of anything. I guess the chord structure is super boring? I feel like that solo should really pump me up a lot more than it does. The ending of that solo is nice at least Who cares?. Prey - Everything is Going to Be OK Nominator: Neotelenta 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TRdx2tbUFI Pretty much the same boat as Scrum Debate but I like it more. Filmographer's note: I do not know which boat Scrum Debate is in. Sometimes I'll be listening to this and think that I underrated it. Then I realize that the whole song is that somewhat cool section repeated a whole bunch and I remember why it's here. I do like some repetitive songs that shoot entirely for style points. This doesn't hit the mark hard enough to salvage it Who cares?. Yo! Noid 2: Enter the Void - Swing Factory (Inside) Nominator: @Akkrillic 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQi2CqZJNCQ I liked this a fair amount when I first heard it in game 100 ages ago. I've certainly cooled off of it a ton. I'm sure I'd probably like most of the rest of the soundtrack far more now. It's not that interesting jazz, and I can barely distinguish the walking bass without fucking my equalizer up --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ...

Who cares?. Persona 5 - Keeper of Lust
Nominator: ellie 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2uhU_1Vx6o It has potential, but seems like it's missing something, like it's a replica from an SMT or even an earlier Persona game. Like, the opening makes me think it's from like the Spongebob Movie game. It's cheesy and kind of weird. I consistently like the instrumental songs from Persona better than the vocal songs at least. The bass at parts is pretty nice (eg, around 2 minutes in). The bass kind of sucks for the rest of it though Who cares?. Tekken 5 - Twist and Scream (Festival) Nominator: @Snake5555555555 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzqY8xrOAIA DELAY LAMA! That's automatic points. I think the guitar parts were less interesting than the Lama and the funky stuff but still alright. Yakuza in attitude, definitely not SEGA-tier implementation Who cares?. God of War (2018) - Overture Nominator: @Johnbobb 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWXnMaQNESA Good chanting and backing lute thing. Not sure how I feel about that vocal breakdown two minutes in. Can we about how this was composed by a guy called ""Bear McCreary""? That's the best name I've heard since Scott Manley. --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ... Copied to Clipboard!

Who cares?. God of War - Vengeful Spartan
Nominator: @Johnbobb 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPPU0gcWk38 This goes all in on the dramatic chanting mood, and is honestly more for it Who cares?. Touhou Eiyashou: Imperishable Night - Protect Nominator: @UF8 7.4 (7.4/0) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCTLfsHrXmY Huh. Don't think I was expecting to see a 10 minute trance Touhou remix in here (in retrospect, I really shouldn't've been), but I guess it's really not that surprising. And this is ZTS too? I was expecting Taishi... based largely on his golden slaughterer remix... yeah ok makes sense. Well, this does sound like the kind of trance that, at worst, is listenable, and doesn't sound like Touhou, so I'm confident that this is better than the original. After having listened to it, it seems like my "listenable" boundary is more-or-less correct for this. Far from my favorite of ZTS *or* the hypothetical Taishi. It's pretty solidly a song I'd listen to when I just need some white noise. As rwlh would put it, it's "perfectly acceptable"... though the thumbnail has feet though so that's a bonus, amirite fellas --- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination ...
