**Rate the Music: Week 8**
 

Have to do this quick because who knows how long both boards will be working. We can safely call it for last week's track, Spark Mandrill's Stage Theme, and award it a solid 7. That sounds good, right?


Of course, that means that it occupies the bottom of the list for now. What's going to top that performance? Or, do worse? Let's see what's on tap this week. We're taking a detour into the land of PC gaming this time around with the granddaddy of FPS games. It's the opening level theme of Doom, At Doom's Gate!

Yup. It's a pulse-pounding track to get you in a demon-killing mood. So, what do you think of it? Let's hear what you have to say and we'll see you next week!

Master of Puppets ass... I did previously enjoy it frequently

Huh, that was my 21,000th post. Yay for me, I suppose.

This one is tough because for one thing it bangs hard. On the other hand, it's too short and there isn't much variation. But then it's the opening level track and you're supposed to be able to finish it in under 30 seconds anyway. Ugh, this is a rough one.

Might as well update the list. I was in a rush when I posted both iterations of this.

One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy 7) - 8.71
Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country) - 8.66
Guile Stage Theme (Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo) - 8.25
Bloody Tears (Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest) - 7.85
Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog) - 7.72
Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved) - 7.125
Spark Mandrill Stage (Mega Man X) - 7

This one is really nice but E1M8 is my fave.

Its one of the best action tracks in all of gaming but this particular rendition is far from the best. 7
