[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 165 Voting/WEEK 166 Nominating

3 points: Till the Crack of Doom (Final Stage)

1 point: WAR OH! (Boss Scene 1)

Just missed: Subway, Flying

Easy point spread. Geryon Hill was such an awkward listen, what with the random bombast at 0:45, and the rest of the tune meandering aimlessly before fading out... I can't even imagine what context that would work with.

Aside from that, and the main melody of the Boom Blox track, good week! The 1 pointers in particular were top notch, and if Till the Crack of Doom were not the most perfect final stage theme ever made, they would've most likely seen more points.

Most amazing jew boots

Excellent week with much variety and a lot to like.

I swear I'm not targeting your nominations.

Oh, I see how it is. You're afraid that the raw, animal power my nominations will unleash will sweep me to victory, and you can't handle it! So you've all conspired to keep me in my place--fifth place. Very well, but my vengeance will be slow in the making and swift in the unleashing!

Seriously, though, just bank SimAnimals for later.

Incidentally, I don't have a problem with Paper Mario. This week has given me a much more laissez-faire attitude on that point.

I was speaking idiomatically.

beatmaniaIIDX12 HAPPY SKY ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - [UK PROGRESSIVE] mind the gap
Some parts could have been a little more subdued in my opinion, and the melody isn't my cup of tea either.

Boom Blox Original Music - Blocks Up Hoe Down
Catchy melody, has some weird moments, but I like the upbeat feeling of this track.

Cybernator (Game Rip) - Till the crack of doom (Final Stage)
Nothing memorable here as far as I'm concerned.

Darius Remix - WAR OH! (Boss Scene 1)
I really like this one. Great variety in both melody and instrumentation. Satisfying bass line. Very nice.

Flyff (Game Rip) - Theme 6 - Flying
This one is pretty solid, too. Nothing too outstanding as far as I'm concerned though.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (Game Rip) - Streetwize
Not as awesome as "Pull Back The Bass", but still pretty nice.

Symphonic Poem Argos no Senshi Original Soundtrack - Geryon Hill
In a few places, it sounded like it'd turn into one of those orchestrations mixed with more modern elements, but that didn't really happen, and I'm not a big fan of classic orchestral pieces.

TimeSplitters Future Perfect (Game Rip) - Subway
The beats sure are cool, but they get really repetitive after a while, especially considering the length of the track. Doesn't have much melody either, the little that is at the end can't make up for that either.

I'll make an eligibility thread for the Paper Mario track, hopefully some time in the next 24 hours.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm okay with the Paper Mario nomination as long as the particular track isn't a blatant remix of any of the well-known Mario themes. And if it is, I'll simply recognize it as such and dock it points appropriately.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yay! I'm glad people enjoyed Streetwize. I encourage those who liked this and Pull Back the Bass (took 2nd in week 62) to check out the rest of the JJ2 soundtrack, it's fantastic.

I was just looking at my SotW history - it took me till week 83 to get my first gold, and now 82 weeks later I get my second. That's consistency (or ineptitude).

He definitely has a signature sound, and that sound is what I love.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
