Song of the Week - WEEK 86 Voting/WEEK 87 Nominating

I really agree that this week was kind of weak. Hopefully next week will be better =)

2pt: Ar tonelico ~The Girl Who Sings at the End of the World~ ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - What My World Is Wishing For (7/10)
orion, you're wrong about this song in a minor way: there actually isn't any Japanese in the song. I have a feelnig the song was trying to achieve an african twist with an upbeat melody, and it actually does a pretty good job at it. Then again, I'm one of the few who don't have a natural bias towards vocal game music.

2pt: Suikoden - The Divine Oath - Dreams Come True Someday (Orchestra Version) (7/10)
This sounds like Hisaishi, honestly, and doesn't really resemble the Suikoden series at all. However, that's probably an advantage in this case, the song is very well orchestrated, and it's something that I'm attracted to. My only actualy complaint are the drums that appear in the end. They seem somewhat faded and not strong enough in the background there (probably an issue with recording quality).

1pt: DARIUS II -G.S.M.TAITO 4- - BURNING ROAD (underground theme) ~ BOSS 6 (6.5/10)
This song would become so much better if the quality of the rip/recording wasn't done so horribly. It is certainly attractive in terms of the melody, but I really had to turn my volume up by about 4 notches (which is house shaking for other songs)

1pt: Great Maho Daisakusen Original Soundtrack - THUNDER STORM ~ Stage 5 (6.5/10)
I basically second Crash's comment on this song.

Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne Original Soundtrack - Tokyo Conception (6/10)
This song freaks me out in a really scary way. I understand that was probably the intent of the song; however, it's not a reason me to vote on the piece. I vote based on whether I'd want to listen to it over again, and the abrupt end really scared me away =(

The Legend of Xanadu SUPER ARRANGE VERSION - A Bird Crossing the Desert (6/10)
This song starts to get boring after a while, although I'm somewhat fine with it.

Saiyuki Original Soundtrack - Fierce God (Battle BGM 7) (5.5/10)
Meh. Besides the horrible sound quality, I don't really feel the melody is all that attractive. It doesn't sound completely original either.

ATP Tour Championship Tennis (Game Rip) - Title Screen (5.5/10)
In terms of a song, this is ok. However, it really fails to catch my ears, and I basically forget the melody after I listen to it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

OH come on =/ everybody knows that song from Wild Arms Vth Vanguard -_-

Oh well =) it's a good track.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
