VGM of the Day #5: Rock Club



HEY DEAN YOU DIDNT POST ANYTHING YESTERDAY

I am aware of this and I apologize. I had stuff to do, I promise. Moving on, today we're discussing Rock Club from Scott Pilgrim: The Game.

BUT DUDE ANOTHER WINTER IS THE BEST SONG IN THE GAME

Okay, that's enough out of you.

Though it's true that Anamanaguchi did a great job with the entirety of the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack, Rock Club is one of the few songs that make it clear that shit just got real. It's a fast-paced, bring-the-pain, beat-the-crap-out-of-dudes song that starts off strong and that's exactly what I'd want in a beat 'em up. I love the mix of chiptunes and real instrumentation that Anamanaguchi is known for, and for a game like this I believe it's the perfect fit.

While Another Winter might go down in history as one of the best Stage 1 themes ever, Rock Club is the track that reminds you what the game is all about: Getting together with a few friends (Seriously, have you tried beating that game by yourself? Good luck with that) and beating the crap out of things. I respect that.

The Verdict: Makes it perfectly clear that it's time to punch people in the face. Highly recommended.

What do you think about this song? Post your opinion in the comments!

  1. This song I really great! I've only seen play through of this game on the internet so I couldn't enjoy the music. But this song in particular defiantly defines action in a sense. Pumps you up!
