Who cares?. Octopath Traveler - Battle Theme
Nominator: @RyoCaliente
7.4 (7.4/0)

Nothing exceptional, just an overall decent song. Octopath Traveler music consistently fails to impress me

Not bad. On the boundary between the categories of "music I like in this style" and "sonic music in this style", which are fairly mutually exclusive

Who cares?. Pictionary - Mini-Game 1
Nominator: @Raetsel_Lapin
7.4 (7.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdZGtDHmCOo
tim follin. you ever skip ahead on a song and you jump right to the next loop, or worse, a phrase or two ahead in the loop, so it still transitions smoothly but suddenly the song isn't doing what it's supposed to? Shit's disconcerting.

Nominator: @JONALEON1
7.4 (7.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T65Zmc6iWCc
Had very high hopes from the intro. The song kind of feels like wasted potential. I don't really like the high synth instrument and it doesn't go the interesting places I'd expected it to. Seems like a more metal Castlevania song in the chorus

Who cares?. Stellaris - Creation and Beyond
Nominator: @handsomeboy2012
7.4 (7.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AHcak434Zw
Was very concerned about it being 8 minutes of atmosphere. Three minutes in it started to pick up and kept some kind of presence throughout, so it has that going for it, which is nice. Still doesn't stray far from its comfort zone to venture into the realm of music that I'd want to listen to

Probably the song I most regret nominating. I was positively raving about Tim Follin at the time and he was arguably my favorite musical artist period. Mini-Game 1 wasn't just another Tim Follin song, it also had similarities to "Another One Bites the Dust", so it was basically the most amazing thing ever.

I've mostly lost interest in Tim and this song is so dull and flat that it's just...sad.

Who cares?. Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! A1 - Evolution
Nominator: @dowolf
7.4 (7.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbyUy9FgNPc
This is the part of the game where you get an airship or finally figure out the villain's plans and manage to escape and regroup with your team and plan a counterattack. It's very stereotypical "now is the time we fight back" music. On average, it's a pretty solid genre (although "on average" may be a little misleading, since I don't think there'd be much variation in scores at all)

Fairly low-key Touhou song. Does some things that bother me about his compositions in general. I suppose better than average. Probably the most damning aspect is that I've sought out this song many times because it's referenced fairly often and occasionally I want to identify a Touhou song, and I keep doing it because I can never remember what it sounds like

why is the president on this highway it seems horrifically unsafe and impractical. Also why isn't he in a motorcade or have any security detail present? And can't Tails call him if they'd let him talk to the president by knocking on his window anyway? honestly, the juxtaposition of the plot of the game revolving around advanced biological experiments and decades-old space colonies and Tails in a motherfucking mech fighting robots on this shitty, contorted road highlights the corruption and inefficiencies plagueing this world. it seems that past success has blinded everybody to their present realities, and, sated by technology and convenient adorable box-animals, the populace has chosen to ignore the running of their society, allowing the military to run roughshod over civil and cultural rights, and the government to do essentially whatever they want, surely enabling great degrees of nepotism and criminal connections in all levels of the government. really, it's amazing that everything hasn't collapsed yet, and perhaps Eggman has a point. Maybe they need a fresh start, with somebody who is, if not *competent*, then intelligent, with a focused vision controlling the world.

Parts of it is just Fairytale Poison wth. Freedom Planet is... weird. I listened to it having heard only a few songs that I really liked, those not even really being the popular ones. And the rest of the soundtrack (including most well-known tracks like this) fell flat. It's good, just missing whatever weirdness attracted me to Thermal Base 1 or the mood of Pangu Lagoon 1. If I had only heard songs like this, I'd have dismissed it as one of a million odd indie games with solid soundtracks that don't really warrant my attention

Who cares?. Undertale: DISBELIEF - Backbone
Nominator: rukir
7.4 (7.4/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KokMR-gWT6M
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! Thought it was kind of a generic remix until the panting and straight adaption at 2:28. This seems it covers multiple phases, but the video implies that the whole song is the phase 3 theme. I'm going to pretend that this is, in fact, multiple parts and comment on those individually. Part 1: very dependent on the original song and doesn't do too much to stand out. Some of the added guitar riffs are nice. Better than the other metal arrangements that have already gone out. The frantic part just before the change is cool at first and then you realize that it kind of isn't. Part 2 (2:28): Having something so close to the original for so long after the first segment which wasn't that ambitious is definitely a mistake. The farts are not good. The song loses a lot of momentum here. Part 3 (3:38): Starts very strong with its... Einhander? type instruments. Then after a neat drum loop it starts farting again and reverts back to the less good parts of the beginning. Part 4 (4:23): Echoes the better section of Part 2, with a somewhat forced sansing, though I dunno if I've ever heard it slowed down like this outside of me messing around with my mp3 player in 2015, and it works. Again, it keeps going too long. The Bonetrousle/sans portion at the end is nice. Overall, not as original as I would like a fangame song that doesn't state that it's a remix to be. Fairly mixed between parts that might reach 8 and parts hovering around high 6. Would've been a good pick for the UNDERMINERS though

I've listened through groovin now, and this didn't make the cut. It's probably on the upper echelon of songs that didn't make it. It's fairly good, just a lot of the flourishes that Dirty Androids likes to do like those vocal samples take away from the song. I can respect their style, at the very least

I actually did basically the Drew Scanlon blinking meme at the start, albeit with more scrunched eyebrows. Christ, the beginning was dreadful.

Guitar is kind of low quality and overbearing. I switched the link to one less potato quality, which helped a bit. It doesn't seem brickwalled now, at least.

I think they'd definitely be worse if rearranged in another soundset, but, at least in regards to my tastes, if they were composed "similarly" with a different soundset in mind, I'd like them much better. They occupy an odd niche, balanced on a local maximum of my preference that's dwarfed by greater maxima away from it

Not particularly interesting, but it holds my interest. Not especially enjoyable, but I do enjoy it. Rising from a franchise infamous (to me, at least) for mediocre music, it does *something*, at least, for itself. Though IIRC Dire insists Spyro 3 music is the best of the trilogy

shake. Because of one vgm project I've done, I've become very sensitive about hearing "heroic"/uplifting motifs. I should start categorizing them, based, I suppose, on a scale from "Asano" to "DM DOKURO". This would fit I'd say a 3/10 on that scale, a bit closer to Asano than to Thunder Force V. A bit cheesy, but not to the point where it's detrimental. Doesn't quite move me like it wants to, however. At least it makes it stand out a bit

A psychopomp is somebody who escorts fallen souls to the realm of the dead, with Charon being the most famous example. The more you know. I suppose one last rave for the dead is a compassionate thing to provide

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"

it says "Man, this song's so good."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOESJpYZ3WQ
This slides off me like I'm teflon. Detached, I can tell it has odd things going on, like how it takes effects that would just be used as flair in most other songs like this and elevates them to a proper instrument, the percussion is strange, and it certainly has an atmosphere. However, robot noises on their own can't hook me, and the conventional portions of the song are too basic superhero-y. I do wish I could like this more. If the genre were something less antithetical to my interests, something like this could do pretty well

I don't like the horns at the beginning. Reminds me too much of Mansion Basement. I like dramatic chanting final boss music, but there has to be something substantive to go along with it, and this falls slightly short. Honestly, I can't give it too much crap because I know if I was watching a movie and this came on during it I'd be enthralled, and contextual music that is good enough to convey the intended atmosphere on its own deserves praise (so long as it doesn't shackle itself to shorthand tropes, which this doesn't really). Some parts are more boring than others

This was a fun comment to read. Anyway, Papyrus is just one member of a rich history of cackling skeleton villains. This game's skeleton is called Skullmageddon and his voice and personality are modelled on Skeletor, from the 1983-1985 animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, arguably the godfather of all cackling skeletons.

Doesn't stand out at all in the field of "SNES songs that are reasonably good". In the field of "oddly nostalgic songs for no reason", it's also not that great. Think it's making me think of a Lego game. Probably Island 2 or soccer. Still gets a Deserved point for reasons I cannot properly enunciate, and it's the kind of song that grows on your as you keep listening to it over and over again for an accursed VGM ranking project

This vibes. I think I want to give it a 7.6 or a 7.7, but it'd just be wrong not to put it in the Pablo tier

rip supradarky. opening was good, and then it kept going... and going. Thought I was getting blueballed before it actually did something. Thanks to that unnecessarily long intro, I was kind of sick of the bassline for the rest of the song. That blueballing was really a symptom for the lack of movement of the song as a whole. Could've been so much better than what it was. This doesn't deserve the bonus point (in fact, it's pretty much the opposite of a song that should get one), but I'm giving it one anyway because I *want* *so badly* to award this a 7.8 or so, and I just can't in good faith put it there, so I can at least put this at the top of the tier

Kind of Batteblock Theaterish. Was not at all the song I was expecting, and I guess I'm pleasantly surprised. It drags on a bit and loses momentum a minute or two before the end

Very good remix ("remix", not "song"). Has a unique identity while also incorporating the identities of its sources. It does bear traces of Warioland, and also Brawl, and I think Mario Sunshine a bit too? It uses these elements well and makes them fit perfectly with one another. The song itself is nice, not that great
