Maybe consider the fact that many legitimately believe Singa's sound and composition quality is inconsistent. They don't go after songs because of him; they go after him because of his songs. And I say that as someone who actually really enjoys this track and a chunk of Singa's work over the years. People don't criticize Jindo or Unisuga nearly as much because they have more experience, composition consistency, and generally good sample quality. I love a handful of Singa songs, but even I'll admit that he doesn't know wtf he's doing with his instrumentation/samples 80% of the time.
@@ravus9935 Hard agree. Especially on his instrumental OPs he has this tenancy to use the ugliest synth he can manage. And Singa's really managed to one up himself this time. That sound at 0:50 is seriously just viscerally disgusting to me to the point I had a physical reaction the first time I heard it lmaoooo. And this isn't even the only song on this OST that I had that reaction to either. I'd probably like this and a lot of his other tracks if he just got his shit together with the instruments. Like Cave of Groan from Ys IX is a good example of a pretty good song ruined by bad instruments.
As someone who’s more indifferent to the mans music, this is Singa’s best instrumental yet if you ask me, been waiting for a “full” version ever since it was used in the trailer. This did not disappoint, I’m loving what I’ve heard of Kuro’s OST so far.
When the futuristic maid comes in with her phone, then pulls out a knife/gun combo, bounding off of thin air platforms... Mmph yeah that's peak right there
No, no, no .. this piece actually slaps coming from Singa. It means sooo much more once you hear this piece in-game for the events that uses this. Its the same situation with Across the Spider-Verse where all the soundtrack is trash if you didnt watch the movie
The other time it's played was when Van & gang invocating Grendel on purpose for research that part is nice too even though the engrish used was a bit lol
Overall I think this is probably the best instrumental OP Singa's made for Trails (at the very least it certainly beats Hajimari's nonsense). That chime annoys me, especially with how it's used in the section at 0:23 and the like, and some of the other arrangement choices (particularly the lead at 0:55) also really get on my nerves. That lead that starts up at 1:11 is also a bit rough at times, though I'll gladly take it over the horrid leads in Sen3, 4, and 5's instrumental OPs.
I always thought Sen3's inst. version was actually pretty damn good, but something about this particular track just clicks. Very curious to see how this inst. version is actually used in game too.
@@FrogofWarRS I despise the lead on Sen3's so much I'd rather listen to Sen4's, Singa butchered Teramae somehow and I honestly think it's on par with the Fateful EVO guitar. I might hate it a bit more than it deserves though.
@@MaskedKingDavid Sorry but Sen4 instrumental was the most atrocious arrangement they've ever done, period. What makes it especially bad is how they've completely butchered what was one of their best OPs.
@@delayed_control Eh, I can see that tbh; for me though, as I also like Ashita eno Kiseki quite a bit, I find more to be fond of in the instrumental version, which at least keeps the composition intact enough for me. It's still a horrid hack job though lol. Meanwhile, I've always disliked Beyond the Journey compositionally, and the instrumental version doesn't really change that at all, while adding new problems. And then Hajimari's is just a clownish mess, along with being the closest you can get to representing a trainwreck in musical form. I already disliked No End No Word in pretty much every respect too. Definitely my least favorite of the 4
@@tchitchouan yea, idk why people are freaking out. i gave the battle theme (wow not singa!!!) a lower score and no one batted an eye. probably his best instrumental since seize the day.
I like how this track is called "The End of a Nameless Nightmare" and one of the first tracks I composed was called "Beginning of a Harsh Nightmare". They're both unlistenable lol (ok mine was way worse ngl)
The beginning of the song is absolutely horrible until like 0:21, then the rest of the song is fine. This is definitely an improvement from Singa's other songs however.
How can you make a mediocre OP theme into a terrifying monstrosity? Well ask Singa, he knows! The guitars in the OP were at least decent at the start, but they sound horrible here and the synth stuff makes me nauseous. Singa's worst instrumental OP version to date.
Honestly my exact thoughts. I don't know why he thinks those guitar samples sound good. Its jarring when compared to other people they let compose the series.
@@noelseeker1160 what do you expect from him? The guy's posted only spiteful and hateful stuff on most of his stuff, the only times he shuts his mouth is when something is good cause he cant seem to think of anything bad to say.

lmao duality of man. you got either ppl posting essays on why its bad or just ppl going yeah pretty good i like it. Its always just singa to lmao
The funniest shit is when even his good tracks get complaints from a few specific people. They just hate him, and some do that for attention.
Say whatever you want. Spotify listen numbers won't change
I think I've grown to love this instrumental version of the OP theme...I even saved this theme on my phone...
もはやリゼット専用テーマ、聞いたら登場シーンが自然に思い出すぐらい印象残ってる。
This track is a hella good bop! Probably one of my favorite Singa tracks of the OST right now.
...but also damn Risette is pretty :)
"hella good bop" - i love that comment almost as much as this song 🤣
And Risetto entrance in this sequence is epic !
As someone who’s more indifferent to the mans music, this is Singa’s best instrumental yet if you ask me, been waiting for a “full” version ever since it was used in the trailer. This did not disappoint, I’m loving what I’ve heard of Kuro’s OST so far.
at lot better than his opening instrumental in cs4. No stupid synths this time
リゼットだけ登場シーンかっこよすぎw
あのスピードというかアングルというか波状攻撃カッコ良すぎた
브금 명가.. 매 시리즈마다 끼깔나게 뽑아주시는구만
Risette's intro was soooo good, super badass
I like it! One of my favourite OPs!
リゼットだけ登場シーンかっこよすぎ！！
Top tier track, 10/10
黎で残った謎で一番知りたいのはリゼットの過去。 優しく儚い笑顔と強さ、いい女過ぎます。
After listening to singa's past music, this one takes the cake and eats it too.
When the futuristic maid comes in with her phone, then pulls out a knife/gun combo, bounding off of thin air platforms... Mmph yeah that's peak right there
軽快に歩みを進めるリゼットの脚が即座に浮かんだワ
Some parts got the Tokyo Xanadu OP feels to it.
リゼット登場と同時にこのbgmは鳥肌が立つくらいテンション上がる！
Yeah no this is a fuckin banger. I keep coming back to it.
これぞ天の助けって気分だった
10/10
Ngl I made a separate save for Resette's intro and park fight just for this ost.
9.5/10
Badass song
No, no, no .. this piece actually slaps coming from Singa. It means sooo much more once you hear this piece in-game for the events that uses this. Its the same situation with Across the Spider-Verse where all the soundtrack is trash if you didnt watch the movie
i love grimcats
Best maid!!
Singa I KNEEL
pretty good, if singa keeps improving his pieces he'll become a great boon for kiseki
1:10
Shits on faiya yo
odd eyes?
this one is pretty great, honestly Singa does better when its music not related to bosses
清々しい音楽かなと思いますよ。
But a variation of this IS used in a boss fight....and it fucking slaps, so you're objectively wrong anyway.
Anyone know when this plays in the game? This shits good
Risette’s grand entrance and debut. Ngl one of if not the best entrances in the series. Was Hella hype
The other time it's played was when Van & gang invocating Grendel on purpose for research
that part is nice too even though the engrish used was a bit lol
Final boss
@@reanschwarzer6749 That uses the actual opening, vocals and all

Can we just enjoy the damn tune instead of being wannabe music critics ? Every falcon soundtrack page I go to it's the same shit .

@@historian252 I agree!
oh no! not a number! i just posted cringe! get help
a decent score

You kiddin? I love it through and through tbh.
Honestly hate the guitar samples this composer always uses. So cheap sounding compared to others in the series.
