[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 143 Voting/WEEK 144 Nominating

I'm personally cool with it. I was just about to bring it up, just to clarify. It did get bumped out in the preliminaries, so all the more reason to allow it!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

BANGAI-O SPIRITS Audio Collection Plus - Bangai-O GO! was really fun. Nothing outstanding going on, but some of the melodies and instrumental breaks are awesome. Yeah, this is one of those songs that are just great to listen to; definitely a point or two right here. (Also, for NON)

Well Neo Contra (Game Rip) - Mission 3 was kind of lame, but then 1:32 came along and kicked my apathetic ass. A shame the rest of the song doesn't lift to that section's standard; then again, if any piece had that much awesome in it, the world would probably implode or something.

Based on title, this track wins the entire SotW. As for Putty Squad (SNES Game Rip) - Dr. Sushi's Laboratory of Terror's music, well, it's definitely not as interesting/awesome. Some of the beats are good, but the melody's kind of weak. However, 2:15 is pretty damn cool and "amusing" for lack of a better word. Also 6 minutes is way too much.

I don't have the most affable relationship with Shinji Hosoe's music (actually, SuperSweep music in general), so my hopes for this SPIKEOUT Battle Street Original Sound Track - Bad guys ~Here Comes The Area Boss~ track are slim. And whaddaya know, I dislike this track as well. Pretentious noodling, insubstantial sound; nope, sorry nom.

As far as pretty, sentimental piano tracks go, Swept Away - Before Dawn is pretty solid. The melody's poignant and memorable, and the piano work (I think) is pretty good (like whatever the hell's going on at 2:15). (And wow, I swear I heard the FFVII main theme in there somewhere (2:52?))

The Treasure of Usas (Game Rip) - Mohenjo Daro (Stage 5) has such a warm, accessible sound to it. <3 Some of the melodic developments are pretty cool, some are kind of lame and predictable. On the whole, yeah, it's a pretty mixed bag but the chiptune sound --> +respect.

Oh my god what the hell. The opening to this song, like other people have noted, was gorgeous. Why couldn't that style have been maintained throughout? ;_; The remaining 7 minutes butcher a perfectly wonderful song. Bad, VAGUE2 - S (from AIR 'summer lights,' AIRness 'summer lights -AIRness-'), bad!! (although I do admit I like the super-fun-happy-crazy finish around 7:25..)

Vampire Savior The Lord of Vampire - FEAST OF THE DAMNED is an interesting piece, isn't it? Kind of smooth, with a malevolent gothic undertone...not bad overall, but nothing in particularly grabbed me.

Not bad, not too great either. I made an awesome revelation (dr. sushi; contra's 1:32 etc) and a rather heinous one (summer lights ). A mixed bag of sushi for sure~

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Very solid result. Also, for Dr. Sushi.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
