I swear I heard a "For Whom the Bell Tolls" riff quoted in "Of Gods and Witches" at about 2:15. Could just be a generic arpeggio riff though.

No, wait, Tensei wrote both that and "Time on My Side", that had a Master of Puppets lick at the end. Totally Metallica.

E: Solar Voyage is sick.

Solar Voyage is awesome yea. It's a big mix of Cascade, but it even starts with one of my fav songs.

Or more better remembered as the song from Jane's Myst sequence.

Creata referencing parts of Eternity Served Cold but with a much more hopeful sound is a neat thematic touch.

Stride is really cool. Mixing Moonsetter into a theme for the Striders is a neat idea.

What a fascinatingly unusual cock. Now, allow me to show you my collection...
Is Meenah always completely honest about Aranea?

Meenah, mentioned at some point after [S] Game Over that Aranea actually tried to be in charge and take all the limelight in their session, to which Vriska responds that yeah, Aranea was doing all the heavy lifting when it came to the boats. If Aranea was the egotist Meenah states, surely she would've claimed credit for it? Meenah's comment doesn't read like Aranea being content to be the quiet hand in the shadows, whereas up until Game Over, she was more than happy to play the role of Merlin. IE, facilitate others being heroes, such as coaching Jake or letting Vriska claim credit.

God drat Ascend is good. This is one of the best Homestuck tracks ever, I feel like. Breeze, Lilith in Starlight, Starfall, Moonsweater...there are some really stellar tracks on this album.

Personally i don't really like Vol 10 at all. I mean, it's not BAD or anything, just really uninspired. Which i guess makes it a perfect fit for the Homestuck ending.

Still, it's kinda dull to have an album consisting almost exclusively of remixes of tracks that already have like ten remixes each beforehand. And everyone thought they were clever by making the tracks 4:13 or 3:14 or 6:12 long and it just gets sorta silly.

I felt kinda that way about the first few tracks, but the album's back half feels really strong to me. Like, from Voidlight on it starts to really pick up.

Yeah, Vol 10 hasn't felt super strong to me, but I'm really digging Ascend - really love the idea of "inverting" Descend, and love that it quotes Arisen Anew.

Ascend was cool and all, but it just made me think that i'd rather just be listening to Arisen Anew.

This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.


The album made me very happy and I was glad I stayed up late to hear all of it. There was nothing I fast-forwarded through on first listen, and the extended storytelling tracks were wonderful. "THIS Pumpkin" came as the greatest surprise, and a lovely one.

Tensei's teaser summary of the whole thing.

Do Homestuck albums usually come with any sort of liner notes? I bought the album, but didn't see any.

I think the original series ending is a better ending than End of Evangelion, even though EoE was pretty cool.
The original series ending had that cat. I don't know whose cat that was, but that cat did not give a gently caress! If you pause the tape, you can almost see sunglasses starting to descend from the top of the screen but the camera's too all over the place.

Meenah's just pissed her friend punched a ticket for leaving their relationship at the cost of one Oblivion.

Being an empath and coming from a culture gently raising her to support other folks, I can see her being cool with a lot of situations and really until Vriska was involved they were peers. Compare how Meenah treats Aranea during the walkabouts and they meet Jake to the boat ride.

Maybe her egotism is internalized? She ran a good smugathon all the way until GAME OVER

I haven't seen the leak, but that's pretty much what the preview made it look it was going to be:

Vriska says a lot of words, Equius says a few words, THE END

Can't really blame him for false advertising on that one.

although given the length of the preview i was expecting the whole thing to be longer then it was, as it is, it's like half the comic

I like Volume 10 more the more I listen to it. Lilith in Starlight is really pretty, and in general there are just a lot of melodic, sweet-sounding tracks on here.

But anyway, I still maintain that the epilogue, whether it's good or bad, won't be coming for at least a year at the earliest.
