Really the only part I think is stupid is in Will of One where he goes into falsetto, that's dumb as hell.

Still think Unrest in the House of Light is their best song, though.

I just wish the audio quality wasn't deliberately bad.
During college they apparently refused to record digitally in spite of their lecturers or something and made the quality SPECIFICALLY shitty because they wanted to be hipsters.
I still don't know why. It's like when film school students refuse to use digital and go for old film reels for the "old feel".

>>376663394
I'm from there, and the MTSU music department and the local scene in general is really into recording in unique ways.

Ignorance is Bliss is the only Nintendo-related song on that Nintendo album.

Nigga listen, it doesn't matter what the inspiration is, if it's low quality it's low quality.
I like the other justification, the one that goes along the lines of "but it's after Wily send the world into turmoil and ruin with the audio and instruments reflecting that".
Which I could respect if that also didn't just serve to stroke artistic ego.

It wasn't about being "hipster".

That was the audio filter used to give it a dirty and grungy feel for the dystopia setting. In Act II it sounds alot cleaner and nicer (like the city), until the final song when the guitar and drums slowly get more and more "dirty".

>>376665562

I also like art-house films and thought MGSV was a meta-masterpiece, so don't mind me.

I only liked The Stand and Sons of Fate

How was Megaman able to beat Wily's Robots if Protoman couldn't?
Why didn't Wily kill Light after he took control of the city?
Why did Wily try to steal Emily from Light?
Why did Light wait like 10 years to look at Emily's letter?

>>376666409
>Why did Wily try to steal Emily from Light?
Because Wily was a pathetic beta

>>376666409
Hopefully never.

>>376666409
He didn't. Didn't he join Wily or something?
To torture him.
Because he was caught with his pants down and tried showing mercy or something.
He couldn't bring himself to.
Never ever ever and it won't live up to expectations.

>>376661667
Mega Man was built as a son. He wasn't built to liberate the city. Protoman conversely was created by Light in the image of Joe, or at least inspired by him.

>>376666776
This. protoman was created to be a hero while Megaman was created to be a son. Yet in the end both shunned the path that was chosen for them.

>>376666527
Here I thought I was the only one on this shite board who used to listen to these chodes.

They're 4/4 in my book, don't you guys have any hope?

>>376663394
Yeah I'm sure they did it because "lol we're fucking hipsters!" That's entirely why And not to set an atmosphere for their concept album. No one can be this retarded

>>376667101
I still do but it's been so long that my excitement has kind of melted away. I'll be happy if/when Act 3 does come out but even if it never does I'm so zen on the matter I won't be bothered at this point

>>376666409
>How was Megaman able to beat Wily's Robots if Protoman couldn't?
He didn't beat them all and left part way through the job because Protoman stopped him. That's why the robots fire upon the crowed at the end. He also never encountered the Robot Masters like Protoman did.
>Why didn't Wily kill Light after he took control of the city?
Probably couldn't find him
>Why did Wily try to steal Emily from Light?
He's a dick
>Why did Light wait like 10 years to look at Emily's letter?
Distracted by depression and important shit

Good one, anon. Although Awakening Road is a great jazz track for chilling on the highway after a long day at work.

Now if you want some god-tier Mega Man X arranges, look no further than Breis, and I don't mean his X vs Zero remixes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPnGzfC_2h4&index=40&list=PLC53DD36C837AC03F

>Didn't he join Wily or something?
He just bails.

>Mega Man delivers a mortal wound to his brother, who tells him before he dies that humanity may one day realize how to save itself. Distraught by the grief of killing his brother, Mega Man flees from the fortress, leaving the crowd of people that had gathered to watch the battle to be slaughtered by Wily's robots.

>>376667872
Shit, I always thought he walked into the fortress with Proto in his arms while telling the crowd "you are the dead".
Edgy and grim as fuck, but that's how I pictured it, I never read the scene scripts for Act I.

>>376668050
Yeah neither did I. The "to be slaughtered by Wily's robots" part still creeps me out. Though I can't imagine how conflicted Megaman must feel, and I really wonder what happens next. He's given everything he can.

There are no heroes left in man.

I always interpreted the final song on the album to be megaman eventually coming back to finish the job, hence going through the robot masters again. It wouldn't make sense for him to not do what the game was about.

>>376668462
That is certainly one way to look at it. Interesting. I always liked how "hype" that last track was.
