[WalterRexAndSofie]

"I Wanna Take You For a Ride" hit me on a level I'd never even imagined...that bass!

[bigblack]

That arrangement of Pollyanna is TOP TIER! That will be on repeat for days (As will the entire album)!

[NeoncloudFF]

The Persona 5 arrangements are Man this whole album is a one-stop all expenses paid ticket to smile town BABY!

[funkmasterflex]

That version of beneath the mask is phenomenal. 8 bit big band never disappoints whoever arranges these pieces are geniuses

[AlexPies]

I Wanna Take You For A Ride blew my expectations out of the WATER ! it Sounds like such a Tower of Power tribute, but with amazing original video gamey lyrics.
you all have outdone yourselves once again. keep up the phenomenal work!

[chickensandwich]

Pollyanna sung as gospel/soul is GENIUS

[Winnanator]

Haha the "What is Hip" quote in "I wanna take you for a ride" is great!

[infinitewarp]

I thought I was going to like this album, but when Pollyanna hit, omg, I'm head over heels in love.

[j-mc]

The GROOVE in I Wanna Take You for a Ride, and those vocalists FUCKIN KILL IT. HELL YEAH

[MQWalkman]

Take You for a Ride is amazing!!! 🤩 (I assume Charlie wrote the lyrics? He’s amazing.) 8BBB is my favourite band and they’ve done it again! 😍

[RogersBase]

Absolute perfection from beginning to end! That stretch from Sonic R to the MvC2 character select to POLLYANNA was mind-melting! Incredible work!!!

[JazzFlight]

Holy crap that "I wanna take you for a ride" is insane! Great job fleshing that out from such a short loop!

[雪鷹魚英語培訓的領航]

"I wanna take you for a ride" - I did a double take while in another tab. So funny hearing that song covered.

[micahanderson]

Wow. The flourishes, hits, runs, etc in can you feel the sunshine are thrillingly theatrical and such a fabulous contrast to the vocals 👌

[MetalPanCam]

Been waiting to add Pollyanna to my Spotify playlist forever

[Xymphonic]

Hearing the intro of "Last Surprise" into the song itself literally made me tear up! It is good! All the good memories of the game immediately flooded my mind! ❤

[JSUTrumpet]

Shoutout to all the tower of power lines running through " I wanna take you for a ride"

[goey_]

Tifa's theme with a jazz orchestra is so beautiful. Such a great arrangement.

[thomascolihan]

Dude the male singer on I wanna take you for a ride literally sounds like Ray Charles and Huey Lewis combined and it’s amazing

[thetoongrump]

This entire album is phenomenal, but I Wanna Take You For a Ride is legit one of the coolest soundest things y'all have ever done. I'm stunned at how finely crafted an original song you made out of an absurdly short loop like that.
