When did you realize that Nobuo Uematsu was a hack?

Arena Shooters
>loved by boomers and growing in popularity amongst zoomers
>a natural progression of the genres that they are a part of
>can be considered overdesigned or too much by some
>highly appreciated nonetheless for its contribution to the medium
>died out soon after it came to be and has barely held on since then, with intermittent attempts at revivals

has anyone made an adaptation of its music? i heard each have a story in it

Friendly reminder that this is peak prog.

Jethro tull looked like everyone's dad

Falcom kind of

Mitsuda is the superior melodic writer and orchestrator. Still, Nobuo shits all over most of these indie dev composers like Alec Holowaka that Yea Forums loves to jack off about.

great fairy theme is just the last couple notes of watcher of the skies, prove me wrong

>jethro tull

I'm not big brain enough to listen to too much prog. But I like Alan Parson's Project and YES.

Don’t like Zappa. Now, this might not register right away, but I am only interested in two things. See if you can guess what they are.

Probably APP's best album. Good concept and good songs to boot.

That was super comfy. Can I expect this from their full albums?

I don't know why don't you listen to it and see you nerd

wait I take this post back I just re-listened to a few of the songs and while there are some misses and some really dated ones, ones like La Sagrada Familia and Standing on Higher Ground still sound great

Because I'm a dirty buyfag. Usually if I find a sample to my liking, I buy the CD like a peasant.

Their old albums are pretty much like that.

holy BASED

their best album by far, way too esoteric lyrics to be on top of the mountain. there's something to be said about dominating your niche though

ONCE HE WORE GREY, HE FELL AND SLIPPED AWAY - FROM EVERYBODY'S SIGHT.

THE WIZARD OF THEM ALL, HE CAME BACK FROM HIS FALL - THIS TIME WEARIN' WHITE.

I DON'T WANT TO DIE

Camel's the only prog rock I listen to, they are fucking great.

Can you tell me where my country lies

It lies with me cried the Queen of Maybe
For her merchandise, he traded in his prize

That’s right, the band, Yes. Do you listen to them?

I only care about two things and that’s Titties n Beer.

Fuck yes

Sauce?

Alright, you bastards. I’m tired of listening to the same prog songs every day. I need more over 10 minute long songs with cryptic, sweeping lyrics behind ballads to get my rocks off to.

Rec me your favs like this because I SUCK at finding them. I’ve only found ELP, ELO, King Crimson, and Camel

The book is entertaining reading in the same cultural and historical sense that the bible is. Worth giving a go but not for everyone. The albums feature all the same key moments but the characters, morals and general tone are obviously quite different.
