| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Radiant Historia - The Edge of Green http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHNXHWUHjmc&hd=1 The more common Boss Theme in Radiant Historia. I don't think I like this as much as The Red Locus (but with my inconsistency, who knows), but this does has some very excellent sections, IMO. Like at 1:29 - 1:39 among a lot of others, I wouldn't even necessarily say that's my favorite section, picking one here is hard. Not sure what my favorite part of the piece is, because I could pick practically all of them. I'd probably side with the percussion/beat, but the violin and piano are both excellent as well. Definitely think I prefer both The Edge of Green and The Red Locus to Blue Radiance though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 43 Editor | Dynamite Headdy - Hustle Maruyama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l--Tl7zASoo&hd=1 Fair warning: I've seen this called both Hustle Maruyama and Maruyama Hustle, sometimes with (Maruyama Theme 2) appended to the end as well. In either case, it's a pretty cool song that I'm actually surprised hasn't been posted yet, because it's fairly popular. I really like the first minute and twenty seconds of it. FM synth! Or something. The first 22 seconds are especially great; very fast paced and intense. However, at 1:20 it sort of... becomes a mess. In pretty much every possible way. Some people like that part the best; I sort of think they're crazy. First part only reason to listen to this. --- "You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha!

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Dynamite Headdy - Hustle Maruyama The beginning is okay, but oh man that ending. That sure is... something. That's fairly incredible actually! I'll say 5.0. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Touhou Project: Ten Desires - Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC9LHUMgSqo&hd=1 So, this is the final boss theme to Ten Desires. It has a lot of sections I really like... separated by other sections that I do not like as much. To start with, I really like the intro and am saddened when it changes what it's doing there. It doesn't get bad or anything, but it's a definite step down, IMO. Although even within that section there are some bright points. Basically whenever the pace is faster and that... possibly an electric guitar(?) like sound is there, I'm happy. I also like the section that starts at 2:27 although there's definitely some overlap with the sections I've been talking about previously. I think it goes into a loop around/a little after the 3:00 mark, but I am not positive. Pretty sure it loops there though. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 43 Editor | Mega Man X - Sigma Stage 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ljiZ1mw_aU&hd=1 By far the best track I've heard from MMX. The first MMX, at least; MMX in general would be like... X vs. Zero from MMX5, by a rather significant margin at that. Anyway, obviously because I have to be difficult, I must like this because it isn't like other MMX music. (In that it isn't obnoxious and loud and cluttered, am I right?) In fact it's very restrained, even during the obligatory fake-electric-guitar portions. I sort of feel like Sigma Stage 1 is going for like... a classy feel, which would make a kind of sense in that Sigma is a supervillain and all supervillains must be classy as hell. Don't ask me to explain why I think that, though. I think I just connect the fake trumpets(?) to classiness. Nothing says classy like a fake trumpet. --- "You're childish. What are you getting?

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Radiant Historia - The Edge of Green Whoo flood this topic with Radiant Historia. Definitely another good battle theme, though I think I prefer The Red Locus too. It is quite close with the piano and violin though. This is one of the themes I enjoy because it sounds fast paced without being too energetic or noisy, if that makes sense. I mean, I like some tracks that do that, but these types are usually preferred. Rating: 8/10 Dynamite Headdy - Hustle Maruyama I only know of this game from a Newsgrounds video I saw years ago. I do not like the first part. I hate the second part. That is not a good combination! I have no idea how this could be popular at all. I have never heard it before and I wish it had stayed that way. As it is, I can now whine and gripe about how much it sucks. Rating: 3/10 Touhou Project: Ten Desires - Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator I actually have not heard anything from Ten Desires until now. Touhou music, therefore I like it, as I am sure anyone who knows me would have guessed. This one is not as high as several other pieces I have heard, but hey, I still like it. It might also be unfair since most Touhou tracks I have heard multiple times, and this one only once. I tried to not let that cloud me, though I am not sure how well my score reflects that. Rating: 6.5/10 Mega Man X - Sigma Stage 1 Gosh darn it Kenri, did you have to? This lacks the terrible noisiness of the other tracks, yes. But it replaces it with something that really is not that good anyway. I can get along with fake trumpets, but not these fake trumpets. Sorry. Eh. It is not as bad as I remember, but still not something I care for. Rating: 5/10 --- "That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating... Take it back!"-Id, Xenogears |

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Clannad - Roaring Tides http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfZ1IgjWG_I&hd=1 Hey, my turn to post a piano piece! I decided to add one more track I learned of from the OST contest. Out of what I heard on the Clannad roster, this was the only one that really stuck out to me. The piano is always good for me, and I like those chimes that come in. I could see some people thinking of this as repetitive, but I never really had that issue. Then again, I only usually find something repetitive if I do not like it much to start with, so there is that. It also improves as it goes, in my mind.

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Mega Man Battle Network 2 - Virus Busting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01C1kpfLtGY&hd=1 It has been way too long since I posted a Mega Man Battle Network track. This is most likely my favorite of the regular virus battle themes, so I decided to go with that. In theory a player would not hear this loop much since you get higher rewards for quicker times, which is probably one reason most of the battle tracks are on the short side. I still think this is a decent length though. It also has some effects that I like, so it manages to do well enough. Rating: 6/10 --- "That was pretty interesting.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Mega Man X - Sigma Stage 1 There may or may not be better MMX songs. I'm not actually trying to be difficult. I just don't remember. IIRC, there's at least one I like more, but who knows. Then again, I don't think it's the biggest secret anymore that I tend to not like Mega Man music more often than not. 5.0. Clannad - Roaring Tides Not the best from Clannad, IIRC. But just like with MMX, I am not too sure. Anyway, this kind of bores me. It's not bad, but repetitive is definitely a word I could use, but I think I spent a fairly recent update talking about how I can be okay with that at times. I guess 5.5. Mega Man Battle Network 2 - Virus Busting This starts out pretty good, and then... I guess I just don't like where it goes all that much. At least as much. Again, it doesn't really get bad, but eh. 5.0. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Yggdra Union - Yggdra Sortie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ejit9bHBqA&hd=1 Talking about effects I like, this has quite a lot of them! Some of which I can't really describe so well, outside of saying they're like... I dunno, maybe techno/electronic effects. On the easier side of description, I also like the vocal-ish effects. Now, there are a few different versions of this I've seen. This is the PSP Version. There's an official arranged version that I actually like considerably more, but since I don't know if it played in-game I'm not going there. There's also a GBA Version, but that is massively inferior, IMO. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 43 Editor | Star Fox 64 - Zoness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtUx72O6xpc&hd=1 One of the more interesting pieces from Star Fox 64, and one I have absolutely no memory of from the actual game. I was "introduced" to it fairly recently, you know, despite having played SF64 so much that I should really know its entire soundtrack. I can't really put my finger on what Zoness is attempting to do, so let's see if we can't walk through this together. It starts out very mysterious and ominous before heading into an almost heroic sounding section. The more mysterious section has a very odd pacing that I really like, and I also really like the way it doesn't just suddenly change over to the more heroic section but rather introduces it gradually. I also really like the xylophone-esque instrument used for the more mysterious parts. Very neat song, just in general, and even I'm having some issues understanding it that I really shouldn't be having. >_> --- "You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha!

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Yggdra Union - Yggrda Sortie! More like Yggdra Sortie mirite. Considering how much I prefer Riviera's PSP soundtrack to the GBA one, I can see why you chose the PSP version of this. It is fairly good. I like the piano and vocal effects. It feels really short though, and the techno effects leave little impact on me. What it does have is good, at least. Rating: 6/10 Star Fox 64 - Zoness If it makes you feel better, I have no idea where this plays, in spite of watching several Let's Plays for Star Fox 64. I much prefer the beginning part with the slower and more mysterious feel, if you wish to call it that. The faster and more optimistic section is all right, but sort of a disappointment because I preferred the other parts more. Oh well, this is still fairly nice.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | ... Seriously? >_> Zoness. The underwater world. You go in the new Submarine developed specifically for this world, to search for the underwater bioweapon that Andross has developed. You go through the level delving deeper and deeper until you finally confront the bioweapon and destroy it. Edit: ...Nevermind. I'm retarded. I was thinking of Aquas. Zoness is an industrial world, where Andross is mass producing war machines and such. Zoness and Aquas are encountered when you take the Hard route.

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Hotel Dusk: Room 215 - Amber Sunset http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13LI-fs4NE4&hd=1 Look at that, a game I have played but never posted a track from. There actually are not too many tracks from Hotel Dusk that really stuck out in my mind. This is one of the few from it that I enjoyed. Mainly it is because of those light chimes, or maybe they are a xylophone. I never claimed to be an expert at instrument identification. I like the build up it gets, and it has a really nice section near the end. Rating: 6/10 --- "That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating... Take it back!"-Id, Xenogears |

| Level: 43 Editor | Soul Link - Warmth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCOztxdZIb4&hd=1 ...rrent pia... THREATTHREATTHREATTHREATTHREATTHREAT Back when I posted Faraway Universe, I mentioned a piano piece from the same game and said that I was posting Faraway Universe instead, and that you guys got the better of that deal. ...and here we are. don't blame me, blame the RNG or God. It's probably pretty easy to tell why I like this. First of all because it's a piano piece, but also because it's, to me at least, a fairly emotional piece just in general. I wouldn't characterize it really as sad or happy, but maybe like... nostalgic? Or... actually, to go with the title, maybe it's a song about love~ I think I'm inclined to go in that direction, actually, if only because then it'll be a rare case of me posting a song that I like because it's emotional and said emotion is not overwhelmingly negative. ...You'd think I'd get more chances to do that. Apparently not. --- "You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha! That's such a childish flavor, only children eat strawberry." |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Star Fox 64 - Zoness I am going to agree with CG7 here... to an extent. Yes, the intro is the best part. I might be harsher on the non-intro part though. Mostly because I too am a mean person, but also because I'm pretty sure if the whole song was like that I wouldn't like this at all. As it is, that intro is pretty good and carries this song to a 5.0. That doesn't sound impressive, but trust me it kind of is! Hotel Dusk: Room 215 - Amber Sunset I guess this is okay. I am pretty, pretty sure this loops and that is perhaps saving this from my wrath. Because 5 minutes of this would more than try my patience. I mean, I did listen to it for the whole 5 minutes, but I am not rating it in that sense. Which is a very good thing for this piece. However, I think I liked Zoness more, because its intro is better than anything here and that sticks with me more. 5.0. Soul Link - Warmth Okay, this is the winner of these three pieces. Easily. So that's good! I think this is slower than I'd usually like for something that's pure piano like this... but for whatever reason I don't mind it here. That is also good! Oh no, I am not being a mean person in this write-up! ...That is... I dunno, maybe good? Depends on your perspective? 6.0. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Metal Gear Solid 4 - Metal Gear Saga http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhRw3nE67aw&hd=1 In the seemingly on-going quest for the MGS Theme to show in all its incarnations, we have Metal Gear Saga from MGS4. I mentioned it back during my write-up of MGS3's Main Theme, and which one I like more seems to change by the minute. I've already gone back and forth on this a few times during this write-up. Currently, I am siding with MGS3, but perhaps in the next sentence that will be different! Thankfully, I do not intend to give status updates regarding this issue! My favorite part of Metal Gear Saga is the beginning because you may have heard I like fast paced music! On the other side, I think it might overstay its welcome a bit towards the end. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 43 Editor | Frozen Synapse - Schism aww yeah frozen synapse. I have no idea what you see in Schism though, IIRC it's fairly mid-tier among Frozen Synapse's OST. ...Or possibly even low tier. I can't exactly penalize you for that though. 6/10 Cool Spot - Bonus Stage literally posting music from a 7Up game, CG7 has lost all right to complain about me posting music from ****ty licensed games. The intro is okay I don't think it can carry the rest of the song though. Luckily there is a better part later on at like 44 seconds. All in all this is... serviceable but not outstanding. 5.5/10 Dungeon Fighter Online - Wind of You I'm not even sure what part of this is the chorus. like i've listened to it twice now and i'm still not really sure. I like the distorted/sort of faded-out or staticy sounding vocals the most, something that is probably predictable at this point. Everything else is sort of unexceptional, except for the musicbox stuff which just doesn't get along with anything else and isn't good on its own either. So... we've got a fairly standard, probably slightly above average J-Rock/J-Pop song, some cool stuff, and some uncool stuff. Ehhh. 5.5/10 Radiant Historia - The Edge of Green ...I'm actually not sure I'd be able to call Shimomura as the composer here if you didn't tell me, which is interesting. I like parts of this, but I feel like it does too much in the way of changing intensity... or at least it's on the edge of that; it doesn't really bother me but it feels like it's quite close to bothering me. Uhhh I'll say this is better than Red Locus but not as good as Blue Radiance. 6/10 Touhou Project: Ten Desires - Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator This is actually quite good and does a lot of things I like. However, I hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE those drum-heavy sections (2:10 through 2:26, for example) which are so slow and not melodic at all and oh my god why do those exist at all. God. Luckily they're short. Everything else is fine, which just makes me dislike those sections even more because they're the one bad spot here. 6.5/10 Clannad - Roaring Tides this song does not fit its name. where's the roar at? you can't just call something roaring tides and then make it peaceful as hell (hell is peaceful). pianos at a beach i don't ****ing think so, no thank you This takes a long time to get going. At around 1:45 it becomes much, much better, but even then it's not one of my favorites, and the first 1:45 is almost a complete write off. It's repetitive, yes, but worse is that it's just not interesting. 5/10 Mega Man Battle Network 2 - Virus Busting Uhhhhhhhhhhh I listened to this and immediately forgot everything about it. Okay, replay. ...I guess this is okay. It doesn't really bug me, but at the same time I feel like it's sort of muddled and loud. It would be better if it dropped some of the "percussion" imo. 4/10 Yggdra Union - Yggrda Sortie! Quite good. I sort of like the minor vocal effects and I feel like it's got good pacing for a battle theme. ...Not sure how much I'd like it if I had to listen to it loop over and over but that's not really relevant right now. Also, I don't really think there's a big difference between this version and the arrange version. Arrange is .5 better at most and even that's questionable tbqh. 6.5/10 Hotel Dusk: Room 215 - Amber Sunset Hotel Dusk, good soundtrack zone. this is not one of my favorites though. It has a musicbox-ish quality that I don't particularly like and... really just isn't very interesting. Sort of repetitive too. 4.5/10 Metal Gear Solid 4 - Metal Gear Saga The faster part of this is quite good. The slower half is... not, so much. It is absolutely better than the MGS3 Main Theme even during the latter half, though. 6/10 --- "You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha!

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Seriously? >_> Yeah, I just do not remember it. *Shrugs* Soul Link - Warmth I could use some of that, it is freezing over here. So this is a fairly good piano piece. I actually find myself agreeing with the nostalgic remark, despite thinking, when I read Kenri's write up, that he was being silly again. It sounds like something I have heard long ago. I prefer the second part of each cycle, since it seems more familiar to me. Rating: 6/10 I am pretty, pretty sure this loops and that is perhaps saving this from my wrath. Yes, it does loop. Sorry for not clarifying that. Metal Gear Solid 4 - Metal Gear Saga Metal Gear?! ...Again?! Faster part is better, so we have unanimous agreement on that. I actually do like the slower part to some extent, so it is not a huge blow to the track. I like it overall, but it does nothing to make it stand out incredibly to me. And that is really all I have to say about it. Rating: 6/10 --- "That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating... Take it back!"-Id, Xenogears |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Awakening The Chaos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a96UALb2gk&hd=1 Hey, guys! Did you know that I like vocals and percussion? Because I thought you guys might want to know that. Also electric guitars! However, I do think the electric guitar might be the weakest part of this piece... well, at certain instances. In fact, in the beginning I am a bit on the fence with the female vocalist (the male vocalist is good, IMO.) It kind of swings back and forth. At times it feels like my least favorite part of the piece, and yet it's also very prominent in my absolute favorite section. That section is 1:05 - 1:18. (Honestly, I like pretty much the entire beginning.) The electric guitar immediately following that, I don't like nearly as much, but I do like it at times like 2:56 - 3:09. There's also that softer part near the end, and I'm kind of ambivalent on that too. It's not bad, but eh... not one of the highlights, IMO. I'm saying all this, but I really do like this piece quite a bit. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 43 Editor | Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney - Announce the Truth 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58uoTlVgRNU&hd=1 The last track I'll post from this game, I swear it. I can't help that I like this series' music but that Apollo Justice tends to blow the rest of the series out of the water. that part isn't my fault. This is... arguably the best track in the game, though Objection 2007 is also very good. I go back and forth between the two. What I do know is that I probably should have posted this instead of Trance Logic, not sure what I was thinking there. In-game, Announce the Truth is used when the main character is explaining how the murderer committed their crime; as such, it's a really satisfying way to bring a case to its close, and AJ's version of Announce the Truth is easily the best in the whole series. It's a short loop and fairly repetitive even within that, but, sort of like with Bloody Tears, I just can't bring myself to hold that against it. --- "You're childish. What are you getting?

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Final Fantasy XII - Boss Battle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-AwbsQi-nk&hd=1 I still have not gotten around to playing Final Fantasy XII. I actually heard this track in Dissidia instead. I liked it there, though I was not sure what resonated with me the first time I heard it. Hearing it a few more times, I realized what is was. The similarity to Final Fantasy Tactic's OST is pretty remarkable, and I really like that soundtrack. As I recall, the same person made both tracks, and having them be similar makes a lot of sense due to both taking place in Ivalice. This is another one of those fast-paced but low in tone boss tracks that I like, which is not all that common in Final Fantasy soundtracks, I find. Rating: 6.5/10 --- "That was pretty interesting.

| Level: 41 New Moderator | BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Awakening The Chaos Check it out, BlazBlue from someone besides me. I was not sure about the female vocalist, but yes, the male vocals are good throughout. The female ones are sort of questionable by themselves, but with the electric guitar accompanying them, it sounds pretty great. The female vocalist, electric guitar, and percussion all together is the best section, easily. The slower beginning and quiet time near the end is not as good. This is still fairly nice overall. Rating: 6.5/10 Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney - Announce the Truth 2007 Apollo Justice really is not the best soundtrack of Ace Attorney by a long shot, just saying. Uh, for what little there is of this track, it is okay, I guess. I mean, it is so short that I can barely form an opinion on it. I have nothing against it besides the length, since what it has seems okay, but there you go. I already have run out of things to talk about regarding it. Short write up for a short piece.

| Level: 41 New Moderator | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Flux Net's Video Game Music Love Week! (Also know as Love~ Week.) Kenri and I will be your hosts for the next seven days, where we provide music that either plays during romantic situations in a game, or has lyrics that support the concept of love. Or they may have Romance or Love in the title, depending on how much of lazy bums we are. You can already tell this is going to be fantastic. I will start us off with one I just found and particularly like! Shadow Hearts: Covenant - Love Moon Flower http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0eORVxuwG8&hd=1 This has a good start with the violin, and it continues improving with a beautiful vocalist. I did not pick this simply because it had love in the title; rather, I looked up the lyrics and found them to be suitable for this romantic theme. Even though it is sort of lengthy, I tend to be fine with longer songs if they are vocalized, such as the case for this one. Maybe sometime in the next three years I will actually finish the Shadow Hearts games and hear this in game. Rating: 7/10 --- "That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating...

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney - Announce the Truth 2007 I suppose this is okay, maybe tending slightly above average. Which feels like a welcome break from most of my previous experience with Phoenix Wright! 5.5. Final Fantasy XII - Boss Battle Eh, this... at times want me to like it, but at other times does not. And I am not sure what is winning! Actually, I think I do. Hint: It's not really the positive side. 5.0. Shadow Hearts: Covenant - Love Moon Flower Why don't you guys just come out and admit that this theme week is just a very not-subtle trolling attempt! ...Oh man, I think Phoenix Wright is winning this trio. That is... unexpected? Yeah, unexpected, I think. 5.0. In a rather odd turn of events, I simply didn't find any of this to surpass average. It didn't really ever go under that much, so yeah... --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | .hack//Mutation - The Hidden One: Cubia 1st ~ 3rd Battle Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcRQ4c_FSPM&hd=1 That is one unwieldy title, IMO, but what can you do? Basically, this is the battle theme for Cubia in the first three encounters you have with it, the first of which is in Mutation. I've always liked this theme quite a bit. Cubia, while not a phase, is typically very good for battle themes in .hack as well. I think my favorite section is 1:18 - 1:50 or so. I think it's kind of unique for a battle theme in that it is noticeably... not fast-paced or anything like most battle themes are. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 43 Editor | Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones - I Still Love You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE9yAR-gZRw&hd=1 Desperate measures for desperate times... Welcome to the official unofficial love~ week~. I don't know about CG7, but I plan to thoroughly embarrass myself this week. so let's get started, shall we? I posted Time Only Knows a little while ago, and I Still Love You is fairly similar. Completely different songs, I mean, but same series, similar subject matter, and possibly same artist, not sure about that though. I think I lean towards Time Only Knows being better, but I Still Love You is actually really interesting. I don't like the lyrics as much - there are a few good lines, but most of it is standard pining bullshit - but I really enjoy the way the song is sung. The pacing seems... unusual, in a way that I like. The big issue with this song is that it goes on like... a minute too long, possibly even more than that, but whatever, I still like it. --- "You're childish. What are you getting?

| Level: 41 New Moderator | .hack//Mutation - The Hidden One: Cubia 1st ~ 3rd Battle Theme Back to dat .hack. If you had not told me this was a battle theme, I would probably not have guessed it. This is quite slow paced for one. It manages to do all right, but fails to keep my attention as much as the other .hack tracks posted so far. I do like it, just not like I did the other battle themes. Oh well. Rating: 6.5/10 Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones - I Still Love You And here is Kenri's first Love~ contribution! Definitely some interesting vocals here. The lyrics are pretty lulzy, but I agree that the way it is sung is nice. The background instruments are also pretty cool. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would when I first read the lyrics! So yeah, good start from Kenri, in my opinion. Rating: 6.5/10 --- "That was pretty interesting.

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones - I Still Love You ...This is kind of weird, I can't really lock into an opinion here. I keep wavering between "average" and "above average" but this time I think above average is winning. I do like a fair amount of what is going on around here, at least more than I can say the other way about. This does probably go on a bit too long, but eh. 5.5 --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia - Conglomerate Alliance Tenpa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WML9_KnM-6k&hd=1 So, IMOQ and AT in back-to-back days? Sure feels retro now! Based off of nothing really more than intuition I feel like this would be the "favorite" of AT1 Dungeon Music for most people. However, as I said, I have no evidence or reason to believe that whatsoever! It's a pretty neat tune though, IMO. It actually has a few distinct aspects to it and I tend to like them all. First is that intro, which I am a fan of. I think there's a slight drop after that, but nothing too bad. It stays in that mode for a while before hitting another great section over at 1:00 - 1:17, and even after that I think it stays pretty good. Not quite as good as the aforementioned section, but still at a high level. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
