[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 172 Voting/WEEK 173 Nominating

I know I've asked this same question before, but apparently I've forgotten to download the past couple weeks. Anybody got an archive that I can access?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hold on now, not everybody at once! I guess somebody's got to pop this cherry.

(2 points) THE ACES HIGH: RAIDEN RARE TRACKS - Limit exceed (Level4): It doesn't reinvent the wheel in terms of synths, but it's got an unmistakable rocking vibe that apparent from the start. I love when the music kicks into a higher key, making it a tad more heroic.

(2 points) Extra ~Official Compilation~ - THE PHOENIXION -Extra Mix-: I hated the vocalist at first, but I've come around now to simple toleration. The guitar noodling is top-notch here.

(1 point) Persona 4 Original Soundtrack - The Almighty: The guitar could be a little dirtier and harder, but I dig its tone and love the sparing use of piano to supplement the less aggressive moments.

(1 point) Bomb Jack (Game Boy Game Rip) - Title: Decent chiptunage here. It merits a point. The fast-paced middle is the best part.

Credits is just okay instrumental rock. SORCERIAN SUPER MEGA MIX Part 2 has its moments but simply proves that all Mega Mixes are just too long and unwieldy. I love Jesper Kyd but Necris Attacks sounds like an unispired take on the Halo theme. Let's Be Friends sounds like the nauseatingly cute theme of ... well, a game where everybody wants to be friends.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
