Whoops, somehow I missed putting in a bunch of scores (not gonna update that post though; check in the sheet). wv is also now dead. If you notice that any other eliminated songs are unscored, please let me know

283. Final Fantasy VI.5 - Prancing Dad
Nominator: @MargaretAnnMid
8 (7.5/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xsbTlrpkg4
Actually a really cool remix. If it were just a metal version of either theme alone it'd be kind of whatever but the mashup was well done. Great name too. The prior comments were just explaining how it got over my natural aversion to these remixes, before you get confused. It succeeds somewhat where others would and have failed. Of course there's a limit to how high I'll put a song that I get bored 2/3 of the way through

283. World of Goo - Best of Times

284. Ripple Dot Zero - The Oxygen Plant, Pt. One
Nominator: @MycroProcessor
8 (7.5/1)
https://youtu.be/CEr7kZTjkoI
I don't expect the song to progress as it does based on the instruments. They keep surprising me, for some reason. Parts sound straight out of Sonic but they aren't doing things I would associate with Sonic. I dunno. Neat song, overall

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpZMebTAV3c
oh my god is this actually 11 minutes long without looping? (Interpreter's note: this is much less shocking to me after having gone through PSO2). It changes basically entirely four minutes in, so that's one phase. Pretty nice vibe. Not sure it deserved its length, but it certainly is warm

284. Ultraverse Prime - Prime for Action
Nominator: @Raetsel_Lapin
8 (7.5/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlkZzVwRnIs
wait what tim follin made this? I can't put my finger one what this reminds me of, particularly the "He's growing so much, so strong" part. Maybe it's just Queen in general. The panning bugged me. AFAIK, Sega CD doesn't force panning, so i dunno why they chose to do it like this. The song as a whole is successful, though too long and not proggy enough to justify its length

284. Shining Wisdom - Second Effort
Nominator: @MycroProcessor
8 (7.5/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tu462qlWaw
Doesn't really do it for me. Mixes memey music and Mycro weirdness in a strange way. I'm definitely not repulsed, and I am drawn to something about it. I can't unreservedly enjoy this though. I like Osamu Kubota Mind the Gap more

Good, semi-atmospheric semi-spy semi-world... music. Balances a lot of plates and doesn't drop any of them, though none of those plates, on their own, make great music to listen to out of context

284. Shovel Knight - Plague of Shadows - Waltz for One
Nominator: @pyresword
8 (7.5/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnxWtxo0VNk
This is very strongly reminding me of something A chiptune waltz is not something I've heard before, and honestly, it works surprisingly well. Has a very different vibe to any waltz or chiptune I've heard, although it kind of sounds like Pokemon Surf music

8 (7.5/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UEHlVhHOnU
Kind of an interesting type of funk. It's both weirder that it seems and not as weird as you'd think it might be. Another in the increasingly crowded ""kind of nice, doesn't do enough to succeed"". I didn't expect jangler and Klagmar to have any intersection. Maybe even jangler is part of the hive

I didn't know Ellen McLain did other VG stuff. The ambient synthwave + distorted voice is a combination I suppose I can at the very least appreciate if not wholeheartedly enjoy. I can say that this song definitely has an AESTHETIC

We're getting songs with Personal scores at 8 and higher now, so watch out for the score breakdowns. These have all been ranked relatively, so they'll be presented in order, and with a second number in their rank description to say where they placed in personal terms

283./200. Bastion - Spike in a Rail
Nominator: Ian
8 (8/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMGlMCYdZ-Y
"Ah, brings me back to an early-ish rip I loved that I'd completely forgotten about. The Western feel is great; it's a genre weirdly unexplored in terms of videogame music. When made well and used right, like in Rebel Galaxy, it cultivates a really unique feel. This song was made well."

282./197. Street Fighter EX3 - Amusementive Crime (Skullomania's Theme)
Nominator: Muzzleflash
8 (8/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r21_UoagncQ
A very nice take on evil circus clown music. One of those tracks I've had saved for years, never quite being enamored with while never quite getting tired of. Straightforward enjoyment

281./195. Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 4 - The Final Count Down
Nominator: @UF8
8 (8/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AJMG5H1hKg
Hi vgmc. Pretty sure I supported this. Because it's good. Despite itself. Koshiro is a madman. Don't like that key change at 2:04 though, somehow. Highlights the repetitiveness rather than masking it or adding to the drama

280./193. Risk of Rain - Dew Point
Nominator: Akkrillic
8 (8/0)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=TVyBV_HC8eg
Risk of Rain music is kind of weird for me. The songs that I know well I've kind of gotten tired of, and yet as I hear the music more while focusing I find more things to appreciate about it (to be covered in more detail later). What I'm saying is that I need to listen to Deadbolt again

Hi VGMC. Sorry that you had to get fed to Gallant Gunshot. If it means anything, I like you better than most people seemed to! Unlike some other songs I've ranked, this takes inspiration from Morricone without outright aping him. There's some excellent flute in here. Guitar is admittedly a little overdone...

250. Azur Lane - 6-4 "Yuudachi"
Nominator: @FL81
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7B8ULJzMiA
For a while, I kept thinking this song was great, not really remembering what it sounded like. I've since learned that my impulse on seeing the strangely promising name is overzealous. It definitely has an appeal, at least. Doesn't have much depth (this feels like it came out of the ZUN school of composition in some ways), but what's there is at least enjoyable. I can give some points to a song that I *want* to like

It's got a nice feel, the kind I'd have been more impressed by before doing these rankings. Unfortunately, it's a bit outdone by some other songs that connect more strongly to me. Still good, just eclipsed. Gradius does a better when it's a bit weirder

250. Hearts of Iron IV - Bring Forth the Tanks
Nominator: @handsomeboy2012
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51212LJum8
This is oddly hopeful for its title, without betraying the obvious militaristic feel. Has a "beauty in warfare" attitude I haven't heard in a long time, and then slowly ratchets up the tension, which is a neat effect

I was not expecting those banbard bagpipes to pop up. It's not used obnoxiously here; though I'm still not the biggest fan, I think it adds in general. It's cool how the feel of the song kind of abruptly changes... and then Turkey in the Straw but by bells starts to play. And then it changes to Jak and Daxter? Very unusual

250. Shin Megami Tensei - Wandering
Nominator: @MycroProcessor
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj28GR7iLy8
This feels oddly familiar. Kind of like a Neversoft demo custom song on Guitar Hero. My opinion of it wavers based on my mood... regardless, it never reaches the 8 tier. It's kind of hard for me to really get into this kind of prog, even if I recognize it's cool. There should be 3D skeleton models dancing to this. 4:15 and 4:30 is more my thing. I need more than isolated cool guitar chords. In conclusion: I wish I liked this more

250. Bastion - The Bottom Feeders
Nominator: Ian
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZgY-hYoYto
It's commonly accepted that Supergiant takes whatever art style or direction it's going with its games and just owns it. For whatever reason, I think this is a great example of a related concept. It just feels very confident. Korb decided to make a song like this, and went in without hestitation. The confidence to make it work, and the competence to follow through

250. Cytus - Future World
Nominator: @JONALEON1
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYBc-t0jiuo
Unrelentingly happy and manages to be so in a way that isn't cloying. It's probably on the upper crust of chiptune songs using instrument sets like this.

First minute is some of the least remarkable Two Steps From Hell music I've ever heard, but WHAT is 1:05?? 1:40 is good too. God I wish the whole song were those parts. Another PSI NESS nom that'd benefit from going full Killer Instinct (what was the first? RAFO)

Nominator: @banshiryuu
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcnySL_B3So
It went from "6.8 sadvnpiano.mp3" to, well, something entirely different. I really don't know how to feel about this. This one is such a rollercoaster. Obviously I didn't care for the beginning. It seemed really promising when it started changing up. It seemed then that it was changing into a very disappointing, generic "let the beat drop" garbage. And the piano came back and it turned into something almost Danganronpa-esque. And this guy apparently did some PMD stuff?? I guess to summarize my feelings for this, I like the idea a lot more than the execution. A lot of the voicework misses for me, and the good parts still fall a little short of what I imagined that they could be. Very powerful nomination in any case

Pretty unique feel. Good bongos. Unfortunately, it becomes much more... conventional[?] at 1:22. That melodic interlude really ruined it for me. They probably needed something there. They probably could've put something much better and much more fitting. The one at 2:10 actually works

That melody comes right out the gate with personality, and the bells are cool. Too bad that the melody loses steam at around :15 (though the instruments are still neat), and at :33 it falls apart entirely. And then gets cool again, but for long enough that I realize it isn't that cool. I really *want* to like this song--hell, it somehow reminds me a bit of Schwarz Auction--I just can't fully get behind it.

I really need to listen through the whole King's soundtrack. I don't think this would be a standout in it. Motherfucker in the comments: "It sounds like they used Van Darkholme as a sample". This song is changed forever now

The voices are annoying but I suppose they add to it... technically. The weird woodwind at :35 is nice, especially followed by the Spanish guitar. This would be a bold nomination for somebody that knows my tastes. I guess it's audacious enough to get some props for the parts I have trouble enjoying

I always think the title is my comment. In fairness, that is definitely a writeup I'd do for plenty of his songs. I like the "dum dum"s.

250. Yakuza 5 - Vendor Pop
Nominator: Rufus
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3bQ8xAMyjg
PENIS! POPCORN! ICE COLD DRINKS!

I think, more than any other song that I listened to for this topic (with one NOTABLE exception [Therapist's Note: I'm not sure what this refers to... maybe Sound of Spring?? Racing in the Void???]), this leaves me the most baffled. Just... *what?* I think I was unprepared for this combination of (in my mind) disparate elements (Naganuma, Yakuza, whatever the style of song should be called), and then of course the chorus pushed me over the edge. Fun song

250. Jet Set Radio After - Teknopathetic (e-Pop 'n 80s Disco Mix)
Nominator: Muzzleflash
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://youtu.be/fj_vpIWBOXQ
This is good, but, sadly, not for me... although... none of it is bad, and it certainly has enough character that I can't call it "inoffensive". I at least can somewhat enjoy most of it, and thus, with that really fucking good violin part at 2:30, and some other scattered points that click more, I think this deserves higher than the mid 6 rating I had for it originally. Naganuma really grows on you huh? Looks it like it's a double Naganuma elimination. I'm sorry :(

Nominator: @Scholteheim
8.1 (7.6/1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJnwKEZryd0
I enjoyed the first minute a lot, surprisingly. It's like what Ni No Kuni wanted to be. I'm sure it's literally just a (colloquially) classical composition that I don't know or remember. After that minute, it became the kind of song I kind of zone out to when I go to wind symphony concerts. It's a shame; that first segment was lightning in a bottle

250./188. Gurumin - Samurai Drill!

Honestly, there are probably like 10 other Gurumin songs I like more than this (which isn't terribly descriptive). It's really overrated. Still Gurumin. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

Your dubious intoxication aside, what is your favorite track from Sonic "Teflon" R? Maybe we've already had this discussion.

The beginning is great, an exceptionally haunting and memorable hymn, which unfortunately transistions into a pretty whatever battle theme. By two minutes any trace of remarkability has pretty much vanished. I'm disappointed whenever I hear this. Come at me Leon

Surprisingly groovy. Doesn't have too much depth (Oceanologist's note: Ha! Sunken ship! Depth! P sure that was unintentional). It just grooves

246./181. Hive Jump - Killer Queen
Nominator: @kaonashi
8.1 (8.1/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQPORGKVFzc
KILLER QUEEN HAS ALREADY TOUCHED THIS NOMINATION. Was kind of whatever until the chanting, which disproportionately elevated it. Aside from that, I overall don't care about any individual thing the song is doing. Not super into the instrumentation, particularly the low-bit glitchy ones, the melody the song starts on is bleh and doesn't get much better from there, percussion does nothing but exist... and yet I still enjoy the song this much. Huh
