Hmmmmm indeed....

[Malchik]

IS this a good thing or bad thing?

[Wombatwarlord777]

Methinks it's a bad thing.

[Shadow Hog]

Dear God that was horrible.

[G.Silver]

What does it have to do with Sonic?

[Opa-Opa]

Ew.

[Crowbar]

For fuck's sake.

[Brazillian Cara]

FREAKIN' BRILLIANT!!!!!!

Coming alone great! Looking forward to your next masterpiece

OMG I'm so excited! Too excited, my hearts racing. Can't wait, can't wait! Don't make us suffer, could of at least told us when, WHEN!! Curses for teasers!

Is frightening how some people are overenthusiastic about... this.

[j-man]

I gotta believe in myself and take it to the edge and never look back always keep running and all your dreams will come truuuuue

[Dr. BUGMAN]

I stopped watching after I saw a crooner with a haircut meant for someone half his age belt out a note.

Him, not the haircut.

[Frieza2000]

No worse than either Unleashed theme.

[Dasher]

Sonic is dead.

Tell me this man is having a joke on us. Oh lord.

[Isuka]

Judging by the racing sound effect at the end, this may be S&SASR's creepy and slightly disturbing attempt at a main theme.

[FlashTHD]

Or Bentley got hit on the head and someone videotaped him trying to sing It Doesn't Matter while suffering mild aphasia.

[Shadow Hog]

No. If there's going to be a song for the racing game, it must be sung by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, and him alone. Capice?

[Arcade]

You know, if the sound sucks, you can just TURN IT OFF, like I did with Sonic Chronicles after ten hours of playing, the only ___ that really matters if if the game is fun, or just a "Sega&Sonic spinoffgame" that we will just buy cause we are such retard sega fanbots (Yeah bots, cause fansboys are human so they have actually a brain) we cant just let em die in peace!

[Forza Johnman]

So, I'm not the only one who disliked this. I haven't actually liked anything by Mr Lee Bro/Bentley Jones etc. (Kinda liked the LB Vs JS remix of DoaA though) So its not that surprising that, I don't like this. And people on the internet dont like it as well.

I mean I'm sure Me Lee Bro/Bentley Jones is a nice enough bloke but couldn't a Richard Jacques remix of Rolling Start be better than this? I mean it actually sounds more like I don't know... Silver's probable theme for Sonic The Hedgehog 2 2011.

[(No Imagination)]

Dear lord! Why don't they just shoot the hedgehog and get it over with?

Up until recently, music did factor heavy into what made Sonic games fun (or at least passable). Horrid music should never be a factor that detracts from general game quality, because unlike gameplay and level design, it should be relatively easy and quick to whip up a ditty and see if it's any good.

tl;dr: Everything sucks now and I'm pissed.

[Isuka]

If we are lucky, we can always get a Sonic game with custom soundtrack support and forget about the bad music. Broken game mechanics and poor level design can't be fixed through your music library, though (the latter may be debatable).

[P.P.A.]

This isn't related to the topic at all but may I request the full version of that Arale image which now decorates the place of your avatar?

[Dr. Watson]

Bentley have never been able to write good melodies. Dreams of an Absolution is by far his best song, and that one is really, really bland.

Oh, but in somewhat related news (as in, also having to do with musicians having something to do with Sonic), have you guys heard that Crush 40 is releasing a new album? I think it's called "Super Sonic Songs". According to it's track listing, it's mostly just either old Sonic songs or remixes of old Sonic songs, but there is at least two new songs on it, one of which is called "Fire Woman". This name have caused some speculation that the song might be meant to be a theme song for Blaze. If it is, i hope it somehow references her grief over her pint-sized boobs (i mean, that is the only completely original personality trait she has compared to the other Sonic characters).

[Dr. Watson]

I just saw the thread about the Crush 40 album. Please Ignore my previous post. And also please ignore this double-post. In fact, you should probably just go ahead and ignore me altogether.

[Ngangbius]

Even though the clip lasted a minute, I deeply regret watching all of it instead of closing the browser after the first seven seconds. Lordy, was that cringe-worthy!

These are probably the same people who subscribes to Fred's YouTube, claiming he's a comedic genius.
