Tis alright. Everyone forgets about the Noid! :lolsign: (my new favorite smiley) This week's pretty good anyway, so better it didn't show up.

Gotta be...Gotta be...SOTW!

1st-Track 5

This is a strong week and some great melodies are in the mix, but I choose this one because the overall sound is appealing to me from start to finish. The electric guitar that enters for the main melody is appealing enough, but what I really enjoy is the overall build-up from the rich drums and the chugging that goes throughout this. I have me a gamerip to find, because this track sounds better each time I hear it. Hopefully the rest is as good.

2nd-All Charges

It's straight-forward and goes right for the parts in my body that want to hum the catchiest melody they can get coming in through my ear canals. This makes those body parts very happy indeed. Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but fun enough to stand up to the rest of the more technologically superior tracks this week.

3rd-Never Say Die!

This was actually a much tougher pick over #4 than it appears. This track has great solos and a great melody to match the upbeat nature, but I'm not quite as all over it as I should be. Nontheless, it has fewer flaws than #4, so it gets the higher vote.

And the rest...

4th-Hanjuku Hero

Love the xylophone parts. Love the upbeat parts. Roll my eyes at the parts that attempt to be dramatic and end up doing nothing but getting in the way of the good sections and eating time. I probably would have put this #2 had the lighter section been more dominant. Bit of a shame, but still the best orchestratin' this week.

5th-Revived Power-Battle With Collossus

More good orchestratin'. This succeeds where so many orchestral tracks fail...There's a great melody, great build-up and it lays down mood tracks seamlessly all the while. This is actually a strong week though and this one ends up ranked out, mostly because I started to get a little tired of it on the third listen. But it still made a good first impression.

6th-Chasing Gangs Need Speed

Servicable jazzy techno-funk. Not a standout, but the groove this one gives off makes for a worthy listen.

7th-After the Story Part 2

Gets better as it goes along, but still average at best.

8th-Ann's Theme

Too sappy for my taste and feels empty without the scene it's supposed to accompany (I'm guessing, since this sounds like cutscene music). Just kind of drags.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
