The Megas

I love The Megas band! Here's me yapping about some of their songs. This is probably only interesting if you have already listened to the songs (so... go listen to them!). Commentary with an asterisk * next to it are inspried by this deleted tumblr post that lives in my head rent free.

History Repeating: Blue

History Repeating Pt.1

"But I don't wanna do it again!"

Good Point: Fire lyrics, good intro to the album.
Bad Point: Quality of bass parts suffers in the recording.


History Repeating Pt.2 (One Last Time)

"Ah shit here we go again"

Good Point: "One step and the battle is born / The road that I walk is a gathering storm"
Bad Point: I've been listening for years and I still didn't know they were saying "He's the prototype man of Mega Man".


Steel Forged in Fate

"9 seconds of silence"

Good Point: Cool jingle
Bad Point: Not really a song


Can't Stop the Top

"Topman didn't get the memo that he sucks"*

Good Point: Awesome tune! I love that Top Man cares about dancing. Nice subtle reference to the cat emenies in the stage.
Bad Point: A little goofy but that's kind of the point. Otherwise... no notes!


Don't Mess With Magnet Man

"Magnetman gets friendzoned and dies"*

Good Point: Magnetman's theme goes hard. This song is incredibly catchy.
Bad Point: I wish so bad that this was not the only mention of Roll in any of these albums :_:. I would skip this one for so long bc of this... But I have come around somewhat.


You've Sparked a War

"Marching sounds ft. Trumpet"

Good Point: "It's because of us if we cut the cord / we break the program, they live no more / IT"S LIGHTS OUT-"
Bad Point: Too long for its own good.


Walk Away From Light

"Join me Link, and I will make your face the GREATEST in Koridai... or else you will DIE!"

Good Point: Cheeky garden of eden refrence in the Snake Man song! I love that he tries to convince Mega Man to join them. Also very catchy.
Bad Point: Little bit repetitive?


Gamma Unchained

"GAMMAAAAA"

Good Point: Epic Wily ballad!! Too many good lyrics to pick one. Chorus goes hard. Difficult not to sing along! One of my favorites for sure.
Bad Point: Nothing haha!


I Want to be the One (To Watch You Die)

"Dr. Light is pissed!"

Good Point: "I sent a bullet with your name" I love that we have a song where Dr. Light gets to be angry! The melodies are so good auuuughh!
Bad Point: The part where he monologues to Mega Man is kind of mid.


Continue

"Jesus is not here to carry Mega Man"

Good Point: Augh another banger... I love that we have a slightly slower song to end the album. But it keeps the energy going! "But your role was never temporary you know / This was never meant to end"
Bad Point: Nothing

History Repeating: Red

Fly on a Dog

"I hate my dad but I love my dog"

Good Point: Great lyrics about how Mega Man feels about being caught up in this conflict.
Bad Point: Juxtaposition between "It was you who built this uncertainty / and this is your answer, another machine" and "I can drive in a dog... UNDERWATER!" is a little bit funny


Harder than Steel

"Rocky"*

Good Point: I love that Hardman is like a retired boxer :_:! And the "you" in this song is Hardman rather than Megaman.
Bad Point: I used to not like the crowd chanting part for some reason


GeminEye

"I'm my own private investigator"

Good Point: Epic Gemini Man Noir moment! The first Megas song I ever listened to.
Bad Point: uhh, nothing???

The Haystack Principle

"Reverse Airman"

Good Point: First of all, cool title. The themes so perfect for Needle Man... idk what it is with making Needleman sympathetic (see Archie comics) but I like it!
Bad Point: Delivery of "Wait, get to the point" is ehhh


Afraid of the Dark

"Shadowman shaking and crying as he updates his Twitter"*

Good Point: Very catchy. "Turning off the sun, running through the night / I am the knife in a gunfight"
Bad Point: Unclear werewolf/ mind control angle?


The Red Song

"He sure can whistle"

Good Point: Ahh the atmosphere...
Bad Point: Mega Man is running right in my ear!


I'm Not the Breakman

"Protoman is unable to comprehend families can have more than one son"*

Good Point: ICONIC.
Bad Point: NOTHING.


Make Your Choice

"Sibling Argument"

Good Point: "How can there be peace while two sides stand / You're a machine who calls himself a man / You fight for a dream that can never be / Your arguments are noise, It's time to make your choice"
Bad Point: Could be a little more hype ig


I Refuse to Believe

"Idk guys do I kill Dr.Wily??"

Good Point: Fun intro haha.
Bad Point: Only that it's not a strong as the previous two


Melody from the Past

"Witty song title"

Good Point: Incredible interpretation of Whistle Concert. That chorus is classic for a reason.
Bad Point: Nothing
