5 Bucks to Burn
This is a series dedicated to Indie
Game Music whose albums are good but don't get enough recognition to
mainstream gamers. Why not put this with a Lost in the Music? Some
albums, while very good, are sadly too short to warrant a full
article.
However these albums are good
and deserve a mention. The people behind these albums are incredibly
talented and they deserve to be recognized. Five Bucks to Burn will
showcase these artists.
You Sparked a
War: The Megas
If Get Equipped was the
Megas serious album, then You Sparked a War is their silly, goofy
random 5 song album you pick up on a whim. Of the 5 songs on the
album 2 of them are covers of the first song, one an acoustic song
the other being an instrumental track,, while the other 2 are covers
of the original Megaman cartoon (super fighting robot) and a cover of
Sunglasses at Night.
Of the small selection of
songs on here, I think I appreciate Lights Out the most because it is
an instrumental song and I have a soft spot for instrumentals.
However Sunglasses at Night is also a decent song and while it is a
cover of a Corey Hart song, it could also be considered an allusion
to Protoman given his glasses wearing nature. Sparked the War is a
good song, but it came across as a bit too dark for me.
I can't really say too much
about this album. It is only a dollar a song, but when 3 songs are
the same, only done in different formats, it does feel a but like a
rip off. Don't get me wrong their instrumental work is fantastic and
the songs are catchy as hell, it just doesn't feel like it is worth
the 5 bucks. If you want the album to complete the collection that is
fine, but if you are just a casual fan, you might feel a bit burnt. If you are interested, you can purchase The Megas discography on their site or bandcamp.
