this raises an interesting and good point. i often am tired of simply hearing about instrumentation in particular, where the way i parse and listen to music is substantially different that it alone cannot register
long ago crown dungeon from oracle of ages was mentioned, and it still rings terribly, but for that i take multiple judgements. the instrumentation is a poor use of a square wave but that in itself is not something i'd call bad, but the loud, grainy ringing texture does not combine well at all with a somplistic, slow paced melody
yet the worse aspect is the melody itself, trying to go for a discordant experimental track, but it's so slow and has so so little going on it fails at it and becomes quickly uninteresting, and that played through a car horn is just a pretty bad combination altogether
i feel i dislike in general boring subversions at the concept of melodies primarily, my approach to music is highly melodic do when something doesn't have something like that it's already an unusual take to me, for it to flop badly with something really basic and loud
