#part of that is because that ep had waaaay less songs. this has so many songs

[nutzworth]

i did an album rating of penelope scott and i surpassed jrwi episode 100 so now i listen to the VOL 1 SOUNDTRACK!!!! YAAAAY!!!!! here are my thoughts

below the cut because its REALLY LONG. theres a LOT of songs. my favs are "the bastard pirate" and "cunning action" and "the black sea" and "kas' karnival" and of course "HEEHOO!"

the riptide pirates (both): sorry i started this and already listened to these two songs so THEY WERE GREAT!!! sea shanties are freaking awesome. i had no notes 7/10

this is my destiny (gillion): AAHHHHH. the electric guitar fits SO WELL for gillion im writhing. this is soooo intense. i can PICTURE him speedwalking down a big fancy hallway. i love how it speeds up he is GOING he is ON IT. this is HIS DESTINY!!!! kind of goes on for too long though. ummm 7/10

prophetic hero (gillion): dude are ALL the songs going to be this intense or IS it just gillion. THE ELECTRIC GUITAR IS SOOOOO GOOD FOR HIM I WILL KEEP SAYING THIS!!!! charlie slimecicle/gillion is the only one who talked about their hit song hole in your heart being pop-punk and also gillion dressed punk that one time HE NEEDS THIS!!!!! HE NEEDS TO BE METAL!!!!! i dont know enough about music genres sorry if this is not what punk or metal are. i feel like it just looped but whatever. this song is so gillion. 8/10 im HYPED.

prophetic screwup (gillion): this is so funny. i LOVE the idea. pretty good length. 9/10

one more burden (gillion): this is so sad.... no notes good mood setting song. 7/10 i think it sounds underwater and beautiful

the navys daughter (jay): the BELL NOISES AND PEN CLICKS!!! LIKE HER WAITER JOB! (they can also double as clock ticking too.... ohhhh. time ticking down til her secrets revealed. FUCK.) i like that so much. the pretty string riff is so great. the gun shots.... yeah dude.... the strings are sooo pretty jay you are so violin. its so gentle... 7/10

the sureshot (jay): oh were GOING. THE CRESCENDOS OF STRINGS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! i feel like im in the wild west this is probably because the gun noises and the rhythm feels like horse running. i definitely dont feel like any of these character songs feel like theyre on a boat but thats what "the riptide pirates" is for. 8/10

rebel's elegy (jay): oh so sad... no notes. 5/10 its okay

that bastard pirate (chip): oh this ROCKS. FUCK!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!! THE GUITAR??? the BASS? i think its bass. the keyboard the electric guitar. i can picture chip walking around like an asshole to this. ohhh its so good. its a totally different mood from gillions and its PERFECT. also really good length. 10/10

cunning action (chip): FUUUCK. DUDE. WHY IS HE AWESOME? I LOVE THESE ONES. he sounds so cool chip you are so cool. these ones sound like a band made them somehow. and it makes me really happy. this flute is crazy. THE GUITAAAR chip is so bass. its what he played in the band. 10/10 again i dont care

pirate's legacy (chip): ok sad track for chip. oh what the hell hes talking to me what the hell is he SAYING? all of these sad songs have the same kind of keyboard swell and i dont really care for it. but thats okay. i understand the necessity. is he just vocalizing or is he saying something? i cant tell. 5/10

playful blows: this one sounded like old man earl immediately. in his like fruit patterned hawaiian shirt (<== i realize he doesnt actually have this i was just imagining it). this is CORE of old man earl. hes tropical and hes serving drinks and hes fuckin with you. this is totally a ship-wide kind of play but its old man earl to ME.... the flute is beautiful. 7/10

what lies beyond (anxiety 1): anxiety 1 lol. welcome back keyboard swell. i like the gentle slow strings added though... this IS scary... 8/10 i like it more than the sad songs

the black sea (anxiety 2): oh GREAT. love the deep oceanic ambiance. this is SCARY SCARY. it fits the black sea so well. the um the didgeridoo? i think? that deep rumbling is so perfect. im totally seeing dark stormy waters with big beasts obscured swimming below. 10/10

alveros' tomb: who the hell is alveros. am i supposed to know. oh i looked him up hes the guy that ruled desire island before queen malice hahaha. why is there a song for him... this is so sad and scary... its beautiful though... the scary voice... THE GUITAR IS SO CUTE! the little riff. umm 7/10

grand strategy (anticipation 1): this IS anticipatory. did someone just fart what the hell was that. theyre farting again. this is crazy. this IS SO ANTICIPATORY! okay. 9/10 i really like it

a heart's desire (italian) (anticipation 2): why the hell is it italian. HOLY SHIT THERES LYRICS!!!!!!!!!! AND THEYRE IN ITALIAN I THINK! i heard corazon (heart) and mano (hand). this feels way scarier than anticipation but i guess its hopeful. its cus of the damned keyboard swell. im gonna be fr i kind of hate the swell. 6/10

a heart's desire (english) (anticipation 2): oh its the same but in english. okay whatever 6/10

kas' karnival (quirky 1): OH FUCK YES. YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! I LOVE CARNIVAL MUSIC SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! i dont know what ANY of these instruments are but theyre all PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the high note and then slamming on the low end of the piano. raaaaah oh my god. i love this 10/10

HEEHOO (quirky 2): oh this fucks. holy shit. oh my god. its like kas' karnival but FASTER and MORE INTENSE and its SO MUCH! oh my god so many high notes and fast notes. this is so goobleck. ITS SO INTENSE. theres so much going on. fever dream esque. JUST like how i felt when goobleck was there. the intensity of like slamming on the notes is SOOO PALPABLE. soooo good. 10/10

loved this. EXCITED FOR VOL 2. listening to this made me feel like i was listening to homestuck albums again. so awesome. i love this. thanks for reading and im sorry
