I don't really have much to say right now, except that:
a) Those dailies are done, so my posting schedule will now resume its normal erraticism.
b) AGH two papers to write in two days along with work and hiking up the mountain. I just have to keep thinking that, come Tuesday, I will have freedom for about a week and after the 18th.
c) The Black Mages III: Darkness and Starlight is pretty cool - they covered The Extreme, which made me happy, and Distant Worlds is pretty nifty, but best of all, they did The Dream Oath. That's the FFVI opera - I didn't know it had a name. Anyways. I was happiest about the opera - I mean, c'mon, rock opera. Awesome, right? And it is. The music behind is all recognizable and up-beat and lovely, and the narrator starts in, and Draco, and all that stuff, and it all sounds really cool - right until the female vocalist starts singing, in the iconic Aria.
AUGH. Shut your mouth, bitch. That isn't singing, that's someone opening their mouth and expelling noise whilst quickly punching themselves in the throat. I heard someone use the term 'sheep vibrato' to describe a singer once, and that's exactly what's going on here. It's awful; I can't imagine Celes even attempting to sing like that.
The rest of the track almost redeems the vocalist, but not quite. I dunno how I'm going to be able to listen to it. I want to, I really do! It's just... Yeah.
