« Last post by williewillus on May 04, 2024, 03:40:30 AM »Tentative ranking after a lot of listening last night and today. I'm separating the originals and arranges because otherwise I honestly don't know how I'd rank them.
Arranges:
Originals:
Arranges:
- Yorimashi Sits Between Dreams and Reality ~ Necro-fantasia: I don't know why but that new intro was jaw-dropping, even though it was a relatively simple rearrangement. How did he make a top tier track even better?
- Crazy Backup Dancers: The new coda is amazing, and the whole track really gives off the "descending into madness" vibe even more than it did in-game.
- Concealed Four Seasons: The way ZUN lays out the arpeggios into the final coda/key change is sublime, it's similar to the key change in RCS Illusionary White Traveler.
- Smoking Dragon: The offbeat accent-hits on this one are amazing.
- Does the Forbidden Door Lead to This World, or the World Beyond?: Pretty standard album arrange, not much to note.
- Lamentations only Known by Jizo: The instrument change for the melody is interesting, but I think I like the original more.
Originals:
- Mugen Noh ~ Taboo Marionette: Just amazing, has a bit of that HSiFS lategame creepiness, mixed in with GFC calmness, in a folk mood. Probably my number one in the entire album.
- Tinkerbell of Inequality: Extremely troll track on first impression, but the percussion is starting to be addictive, lol.
- Morning on Tanabata Hill: The hazy, is-this-fantasy-or-reality atmosphere comes across really well here.
- Apparitions Abound even Outside of Night: Really feels like an ED theme, like I can imagine a game's credits scrolling while listening to this.
- Lonesome Path in Hitachi: This needs some time to grow on me, but that ending is quite interesting.
