  "Persona 5 is crazy because I didnt really expect to love this game. It was given to me as a gift, and though I'd heard a lot about it, a little part of me was apprehensive because it was 120 fucking hours long and with a lot of story to sift through (and, typically, JRPGs sorta frequently lose the plot as they go, which always disappoints me). But I carved out the time and played it. And I loved it. It's a Top 5 game for me, and I thought my Top 5 was pretty set in stone. Half-Life 2 held a pretty safe spot for over 10 years, but alas. On top of that, Melissa fucking loved the game. We ended up building a schedule for how we'd play the game so she could get all the fun story/character stuff. Like a month or so after we beat the game, she was like "I miss Persona" and now we have a "Persona Lofi Beats in a Coffee Shop" video on speed dial for those nights where we just wanna hang out and chill.

  Overall, the album rips. Its billed as "Acid Jazz," I guess because there is a lot of instrumental stuff that fits with the definition of Jazz? Idk, I didnt go to music school. But after playing the game, I looked at the soundtrack, was BLOWN AWAY by how many tracks there were, but also by how cohesive and complete it feels. And thats what made me want to put this album on here...its not like Paper Mario where, yes, it rules, but context is vitally important to why we flip from a Desert Song to a Haunted House song one after another. Here, it flows seamlessly. Little lietmotifs pop in and out, the keyboards and guitars and horns all creative thus very distinct feel, any every song is a masterpiece in its own right. Like the song Layer Cake is such a sicksss groovy tune, and its used for like one specific item shop that you go into a handful of times in the game. Songs that would be headliners in a lesser game are just casual, throwaway tracks here. Its crazy.

  Anyway, I had a lot of TTCs too, so in no particular order: Layer Cake, Soooo Boring, Tokyo Emergency, Triumph, Price, Last Surprise, and Beneath the Mask. So many great songs."
