    I like how Bricky was able to connect to a song on a personal level, it made me think of why I love "Alone Infection". The tragedy of a man pushed to insanity by great loss and trying to overcome his own flaws but also traumatized from his own actions, that is something I heavily relate to. I don't feel safe sharing here but to make a long story short, I put a whole bag of jelly beans up my ass.

I love the idea of a song being able to define and illustrate the nature of a character in a piece of fiction. I don’t know why but any OST that has character songs tends to be on my list of faves.

    I'm not a musical expert, but I believe I can explain why Anji's theme isn't considered great by many. The thing about Rock Parade is that it tells two completely different stories, both with lyrics and emotions displayed through singing, which I believe is a very difficult thing to do (hence why Zato's theme feels disjointed). One story is about a night of celebration, ,,Sweets and loud music. A night of light when no child sleeps". This is how Anji wanted that night to go, which is why those parts of the song descripting the events sound more upbeat. However, what really happened was a night of ,,Darkness and silence. Dark dawn where even an adults sleep". ,,But this part honestly sad part sounds as upbeat as the first one'' - 99,9% percent of people would say. And they would be right, but I personally find this part to be more sombre because of the ,,Battlecry" chorus separating those two descriptions. In my humble opinion, it thematically acts as Anji's coping mechanism with the events of his childhood, similar to Leo's Hellfire's song having such a feeling of pride behind it, despite it's lyrics basically being PTSD: The Musical. To put it simply, the storytelling and the feelings of Anji's Rock Parade are difficult to follow without digging deeper into it. This is the same reason I like Ram's theme the least. However, what elevates Rock Parade above Necessary Discrepancy for me... is a payoff. The 2 minutes and 40 second of the song were all a setup for the satisfaction that is last minute and 28 seconds. This part speaks of Anji's determination to seek answers to his curiosity about the world, and to uphold a promise - to once again meet that girl with whom he survived ( *wink-wink* Baiken *wink-wink* ). ,,And now a single footstep carries two hearts. I'm still chasing one." In conclusion, due to interesting choices of the design of this song, it's difficult to see Rock Parade's hidden beauty without paying closer attention.
    P.S. Please keep in mind that this is all my personal opinion. I do not even consider Rock Parade to be the best song (I'm an Axl main and my personal favorite is Out of The Box. It and Let Me Carve Your Way are partially a reason why I bought Deluxe Edition on first day of Strive's release), but not the worst either. However, I would be happy to discuss it, if anyone wishes to comment.

    I see where Bricky is musically. if compared to scenery he likes the beach, and doesn't like the mountains. All his top rated ones have a constant cadence to them. And all the lower ones for the most part have really high mountains and low valleys or are goin through multiple terrains.

  • @juanbarb57

    Great list, almost spot-on, the only thing i'd personally done differently is to put Ram's theme in s+, it's very underrated imo, at first I also didn't like it very much, but learning about her story and giving it a few listens with context made me realise how well-structured that song is.
    This song uses digital synths, odd time signatures and very a.i. like vocals in the first couple of minutes, showcasing how Ram used to be this emotionless weapon, but it then transforms into this fast, prog-metal, aggresive middle section that reflects Ram's slow understanding of emotions and what it means to be human (not to mention the fact that it just serves as a sick battle background music) and it all ends in this fantastic climax tying up all the previous themes and Ram's growth as a character throughout the series, it feels like the vocals are directly representing Ram as she's throwing away her original "nature" and accepting humanity, with all it's beauty and flaws.
    It's a weird song for sure, especially if prog-rock isn't someone's cup of tea, but I personally love bands like Tool or Dream Theater and this song just feels like a love letter for this genre of music, plus I also think it's actually quite accesible compared to the bands listed above.
