[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 113 Voting/WEEK 114 Nominating

Great week. I liked everything, so negative details below are just flaws I found inside of the greatness.

Arc the Lad Original Game Sound Track - Kukuru
Since I couldn't vote for everything, had to push this one out.

HEADHUNTER REDEMPTION HEADHUNTER Original Soundtrack Recording - Ramirez At Bay
One of my faves! May be a military tune, but it really does give you the feel like you're in the middle of something BIG! The song's atmosphere consistently builds itself, and the style doesn't stay the same all the way through, but keeps changing, I feel. Love it.

Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu (NES Game Rip) - BGM 02
I listened to it the first time and thought it was awesome. But to compare it to all the arranged tracks, I listened to it again and tried to imagine it being played with instruments, and while the chorus sounds good, the rest of it is here and there, and I think if it was arranged, I wouldn't like it as much.

Mars Matrix & Giga Wing 2 Original Soundtrack - Ark
Love this. Maybe it doesn't really change through the 5 minutes, but sometimes that's not what I look for in a song. The volume was kinda low compared to theh other mp3s, and I think to fully enjoy this song, you have to turn the speakers WAYYYY UP and let the sound immerse you. That's what I want to do every time I hear it. And I have to give credit for a song that screams "LOUDER" every time I play it, especially if it's not heavy metal.

MELTY BLOOD Act Cadenza Ver.B BGM Collection - for Crimson Air (Night of Wallachia Stage)
Kool tune, but the frequent switch of atmospheres from tense to mellow and back doesn't really work for me.

METAL BLACK -The First- - Time
The intro took way too long for this song, and with the way it played out, I expected a more climactic listen.

Moshimo Ashita ga Hare Naraba Extra Soundtrack - Examination of Moonlight
I usually don't like piano solos and such, but this artist really pulled it off, all while still keeping it simple.

R-Type Delta Original Sound Trax - Stage 4 (Corrosion)
Like everybody else said, this track is in too many places at once. Hard to like over the others.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I searched the wiki for any such nominations from Gran Tursismo, and Moon over the Castle showed now results. I just rechecked.....nope.

But that is fine. I get the feeling I just don't belong to the "overly obscure" clique, so I won't nominate anymore songs.

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