Eh, some Anon tried to talk shit in my inbox and I invited them to insult me some more. It’s about the most social my inbox has been. I just want ‘em to keep going.

I think I feel more sorry for the razer.

Buddy, you don't know the half of it. The damn thing has died twice during this whole ordeal. I'm just waiting on it to recharge now, then I can get rid of the last of the stubble. 

Still keepin' the goatee part though. It's not gonna be nearly as impressive, but at least it'll be something.

Now I listened to it a couple of times, and I gotta say, I’m really diggin’ the whole storytelling style of it! Even without the lyrics, you can understand the tone of what’s supposed to be happening in that moment, thanks to the guitar and orchestra bits. That’s probably a good thing, because I actually had to listen to it a few times just to understand what the lyrics were saying.

That’s just a nitpick, though, and it’s easy to catch the lyrics when you pay full attention to it. 

Either way, it’s essentially twenty-five minutes of kickass guitar solos, a unique take on a story that’s been told a thousand times over, and more kicass guitar solos. 

And Scene 4, "Lunar March"… I quite like that part, actually. It has that ominous drum beat right in the intro, accompanied by the creepy ominous Latin chant, as Luna really starts down the path that’ll lead to her infamous fall. This part perfectly sets the stage for that epic battle between day and night, and actually gives us some good insight on what the both of them are thinking. 

All in all, this is some good stuff. Really, the only thing I don’t think is spectacular are the vocals of Celestia and Luna, but that’s just a personal thing. They did an okay job. The rest of it, though, was fantastic. Rock Operas are just badass overall, though I haven’t listened to many of those.

Y’know, I actually kinda like it. Now keep in mind, I have not listened to much of it, but the bits that I have listened to are pretty catchy. The beat and rhythm to it is usually pretty fast-paced and (pardon the redundancy) upbeat. There’s a definite adrenaline pumping quality to the songs I’ve been shown, and I find myself listening to it when I want to get myself into a fighting mood.

One of the first songs that pops into my head whenever I hear the term is Discord, by that Eurobeat Brony dude. It’s definitely got that chaotic and random vibe to it that the infamous trickster is known for. Though now that I Think about it, a lot of eurobeat tracks that I’ve heard are from when I used to play DDR a lot… Huh. No wonder I think it’s kickass dance music. 

Nostalgic foot-breaking aside, eurobeat as a genre is definitely pretty intense, with the electric beats and pumpin’ rhythm making it a noteworthy addition to anyone’s playlist.

Especially if you need to do something flashy with a lot of speed. Seriously, pop in a good eurobeat track while playing Mario Kart, and not even the Blue Shell can stop you.
