I think I’ll leave it in for a few more of these before retiring it. All good jokes must be run into the ground after all.

> Hope to check this one out too. I noticed that Jon Broxton ranked it but titled it The Story of the Great King and the Four Gods, but they are the same thing, so I hope the other JB is aware!

Oh yeah, and someone else will put Taewangsasingi, I’m sure.

> Probably didn't mean it that way but this is a fine example of damnation by faint praise

I was surprised how underwhelmed I was by parts of it. The Morricone pan pipes stuff didn’t do much for me. The big sweeping string parts did in the back half did.

But that phrasing is more a reflection of me trying to have my succinct descriptions of each score this tier and up be unique - and getting to this one after I’d already burned a bunch of words on 2000-2006 scores.

> Had this as a 2006 score in my list for some reason. Add it to the longlist!

I think the album came out in 2006 but the game didn’t come out until the following year.

> Spoilers: will end up much higher on my list. Supremely guilty pleasure and a mode I badly miss from latter-day Silvestri.

I admittedly didn’t revisit it. Maybe an oops.

I admittedly didn’t revisit it. Not an oops.
