So, the Volume 5 soundtrack is coming out tomorrow, and it's listed on Amazon Japan, where you can listen to 30-second samples of the songs. I decided to give this album's remixes the benefit of a doubt and listened to the samples for them... and I couldn't listen to all 30 seconds of either of them.

Honestly, I have not enjoyed any of the official RWBY remixes other than the Yellow Trailer version of I Burn.

I Burn (Yellow Trailer) actually has the music have variety in it throughout the song, and it actually matches and flows well with the lyrics. Jeff didn't overdo it with the sounds that are going on at any given part of the song, and the music really compliments the singing.

The other remixes, meanwhile, feel like the same exact noises on repeat throughout the entire thing, and none of it matches with the singing. Not only that, they often feel like an absolute clusterfuck of noise. A remix is not just "Take these lyrics and slap them onto some electronic music you threw together by dumping a bunch of noises in a bucket and stomping on them." Stop trying so hard to make it a constant fast beat that someone could rave to and start trying to make it actually compliment the song!

So, since I was thinking about all this, I started to wonder: Do any of you like the remixes or ever really listen to them?
