Crater Happy Hour Sophisticated Fight What a Mario World - title receives rank 42 of 65. Fun, but I feel like it's an inside joke I'm not a part of. As though there's more to the appeal to this song than I'm picking up on, and I'm still looking for the deeper meaning. 6/10 Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst - Entry into The Crater -PART2- receives rank 36 of 66. This song is so PSO, it screams. And historically, that would be an automatic no from me. When have you ever seen me vote for PSO (unless Endeavour counts)? Yet, something about this track grabs me with its groove. I can't really explain it. But it's getting the nod here. 6.5/10 Antonblast - Outta My Way ...It's Happy Hour! receives rank 28 of 67. HURRY UP! Okay, Antonblast's equivalent song is better...or at least less grating. But the constant clocks -- though they might make *someone* happy -- mostly give an uncomfortable anxiety that is wholly intentional. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't have felt the same effect musically from a different, similar sound. Happy Hour is suitably dramatic for what it's intended to do; I'm just having trouble how much I like it out of context. 7.1/10 Grandia II - FIGHT!! Ver.1 receives rank 30 of 68. Hey look, it's the winner of one of the two reverse rankings I ran back in December. And yep, this is certainly Grandia fight music. Very reminiscent of ver. 4. Solidly unspectacular. 7/10 The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky - Sophisticated Fight receives rank 26 of 69. Speaking of solidly unspectacular, Sophisticated Fight has to be the posterchild for that phrase. Certainly a unique take on the basic combat theme in a JRPG, and it sure makes me want to go beat up on some Winged Cats. I guess. The test of good JRPG battle music is how many times you can hear it before you get tired of it, and I get tired of SF pretty quickly. Normally context is supposed to help a track, but having played (enough of) Trails FC, I'm not especially endeared to the track. 7.2/10 Charge Cyc_es - No One Cares About the _etter _ receives rank T-26 of 70. At the po_ar opposite end of the spectrum is a track by a composer we a__ know for _oving the unexpected, which comes through _oud and c_ear. I enjoy prog stuff. I do not enjoy randomness for the sake of random. _etter _ manages to wa_k that tightrope. Whi_e certain_y not my favorite track in the who_e bracket, it is one of the more interesting, so credit where credit is due. Also 7.2/10 ...never ask me to quickly split a tie on a later day. I'm always going to pick the more upbeat, energetic song. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard!

abstain Outta My Way ...It's Happy Hour! No One Cares About the Letter L I like everything today! Big fan of C1. Both songs in match 1 sound great today; I'll be happy with whatever wins. Antonblast really landing for me today in a way it never quite has before, but FIGHT!! Ver. 1 is great too. I like match 3 too, though admittedly not as much as the first two. Days like today are why I love VGMC. ... Copied to Clipboard!

title Outta My Way ...It's Happy Hour! No One Cares About the Letter L Even with all the sounds of screeching metal, Entry into The Crater is hypnotic. It pulses with latent energy that, at 1:37, starts to reveal its true alien form. What happens afterward? The dramatic stings from 2:08 to the loop dont bode well for any witnesses. God Dance Battle mashup. Thats what needs to happen. They both have a dance beat, too. Meridian Dance keeps rushing forward, while Battle f8 lingers with its rhythms for a while, so theres their angles to one-up each other. --- Tune in to over a decade of VGM history with the VGMC playlists!
