LunarBeat is having severe issues with this song. One of the warmup periods I had a few days ago found this song at random and promptly crashed the program outright. Here, it still brings the game right to the edge of crashing when some set of overlays of some kind appear, but the song continued to roll and eventually it resumed normal function. Played to the end and the song hung at the ending, which is similar to the error I get when songs with long notes and random are played in EX mode. So, no record here. The song was decently OK if not annoying for it being an endless note spew and all hyper chipper happy stuff, but this take on that kind of song was better than most that I've heard in recent memory at least, so I found myself enjoying playing it more than not. Oh well.

Another end chart hang. Strange. I don't have EX or random on and it didn't have problems with other long note songs before, clearly. Well, the song was basically trash, typical wacky hyper crap with kawaii-desu talking over it and blah blah, horrible. To be expected as it's by the same team as that makaiwars song and the Blood Blood Blood song as well. Choice pedigree. This song is probably better than those other two, but not by enough to be worth listening to.

Strikes me as a lot of floundering. I really couldn't make sense of the first half of the song in terms of how the melody was meant to flow with the support and background of the song. I think this is supposed to sound spiritualistic and somber but the note melody pacing is too high to give it any sort of dramatic sense. Not impressed.

What in the fuck. First half makes it seem like something almost like the not-IIDX original version of ちょっときいてな in as much as it features straight talking over minmal tones, only in this case the sounds got progressively unharminous and grating. Then, after several measures of nothing, it turns into this weird breakbeat phase that is just as annoying. Yeah, OK, you're trying to be creepy and unique, great, but I still don't like it, and this is garbage.

Decent. 8 bit sound is used to good effect and is supplemented with good composition. Vocals which carry over the song are fine. I wasn't blown away but it did have a good tone overall and a nice flow throughout.

Beethoven's 9th as run through a Fucked-Up filter. I recall other Zummer songs being similar, particularly the latter half which features some sort of long yelling tone hanging over everything else. Some parts of it I thought OK while other phrases were wince-worthy cacophony. Meh.

So many notes, so little emotion conveyed. I like the chime tone and the uptempo speed is fine, but there's many measures of this where I feel like I'm flailing on the keys for no discernible reason in terms of what I'm hearing being played on the song. Ending is nice at least.

Yet another end hang. Bleah. Song is melodramatic piano and strings over percussion - that is, standard stuff which I find difficult to dislike. Chart was tough but fair.

Very bitchy chart with long scratches and long note phrases that I couldn't handle. Two contrasting themes interspersed which I think might have each been better suited in their own song. The prominent hold note melody features a lot of loud and forceful sounds which probably would have sat better with interludes of heavy percussion. The alternate light theme of somber chimes and piano tones probably could have fit in with a melody that lingered and flowed. I'll grant that it's unique and wasn't bad.


And that's everything in the set.

Something about this lineup seems underwhelming, but not that I think it's specifically "bad". In looking over the write ups, I think it's fair to say that the ratio of songs which I liked to some extent against those which I outright didn't is at least 2:3. At the same time, there's only a few songs (predictably, like Aeventyr) which I felt were really very good. If anything, though, it does seem like gimmick or trash joke songs were not as prominent this time, which I appreciate because I have little to no tolerance for any of it, at least how it's usually done.

BOF12 Extra Mode starts tomorrow.
