Avalanche - Lyde — 6 Energetic music for an avalanche-themed character.
Gerudo Valley (From _The Legend of Zelda_ Ocarina of Time_) — 4 Got a bit tired of it halfway through.
Heroes V Town Academy — 4 Despite my fondness for the soundtrack of the fifth game and the magic town, this isn't the best track from the game. I'd give the elves a 7...
Seiran — 5 Almost fell asleep.
Serenade To A Dream — 8 This is good; it's in a major key, but there's such a subtle melancholic note... hmm, not everyone will understand...
Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia) — 5 It's okay.
Ótroðinn — 6 This isn't Forndom, it's not Sun and Moon Dance... it's something on the level of Danheim, if not lower. Despite my fondness for the genre, I won't give it more than a 6.
Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - 04. Castle Corridor — 6 It made me smile.
Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers — 4 It's a bit tense.
TNO - Vassal — 8 What amazing bass... suspenseful.

You didn't disappoint me!

Avalanche — Lyde.mp3 — whoa-whoa, I got thrown back to some internet cafe, and I'm playing Unreal Tournament 1999? No way! A plus for nostalgia, 7/10
Seiran.mp3 — ... we got very tired overnight, let's say goodnight to everyone, close your eyes... at 2:00 I turned it off, I'll actually fall asleep now. 3/10
Serenade To A Dream.mp3 — «You're back! Come tell us a story or two.» Then it got peppy. I'll give it 9/10 compared to others, an excellent composition.
Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia).flac — seems decent. Since I'm in context and can imagine a bullet hell, it even fits. I'll give 6/10 only because the second half felt weaker in my opinion.
Gerudo Valley (From _The Legend of Zelda_ Ocarina of Time_).mp3 — it so happened that I listened to this song second to last. Until then, I kept wondering whether I could give such high scores and still not save anything to my playlist. Turns out the instrumentals aren't that good? Except "Serenade To A Dream" stood out. But this "Zelda" one is just an absolute and unconditional banger! 10/10
Heroes V Town Academy.mp3 — ah, I forgot the soundtrack for Heroes V. Hard to admit, I played it even before coming to HeroesWorld, so before 2010. A completely unfamiliar melody. Probably 6/10 in current reality.
007_moy_laskovyy_i_nezhnyy_zver_vals.mp3 — fits my mood. 8/10
TNO - Vassal.mp3 — seems like the volume is jumping. The melody is familiar, but a very crappy arrangement. 3/10
Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers.mp3 — an excellent melody, compared to others it's 9/10
Castlevania — Aria of Sorrow - 04.Castle Corridor.mp3 — this is from Arandor, I suppose. They sure knew how to make soundtracks back in the day. Of course, playing to this is better than just listening. 7/10
Ótroðinn.mp3 — not bad ambient. I liked it, 7/10 if judging by the first four and a half minutes. After that it gets kind of boring, I turned it off at 16 minutes.

Seiran — 5 Almost fell asleep

You read my mind!

Avalanche - Lyde — 3, I rarely feel any sympathy for electronic music. It's definitely not my thing; it's hard to listen to. But it reminded me of the music from Fashion TV shows, which I watched as a rare novelty on satellite TV as a child.
Gerudo Valley (From _The Legend of Zelda_ Ocarina of Time_) — 6, I've never played Zelda and don't have any particular fondness for it. But of course, I know the soundtrack, and it's generally decent.
Heroes V Town Academy — 7, I like the soundtrack from the fourth game the most when it comes to the magic factions. If that were here, I would have given it a 10. I agree with Alex; the Elven Castle sounds better in the fifth game.
Seiran — 6, interesting associations with a music box, but a bit drawn out.
Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia) — 4, something pompous, heroic. It's not entirely bad, but at the same time, it's a bit difficult to listen to (and there are human screams in the beginning and in some parts, music with vocals!!111).
Ótroðinn — 9, now this is a good track to have on in the background while working. Without any timing cues, I immediately understood where 4:35 was; maybe I'll listen to the full version later, but I'm not sure (and there are also human sighs here!!11 ).
Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - 04.Castle Corridor — 5, I've never played it and I won't. Nevertheless, the sound itself is very old-school; there's something about old soundtracks to 8-bit games. It's as if they put their whole soul into making it sound atmospheric.
Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers — 6, the fairy-tale flute carries it; the rest is just okay (there's also a fragment with screeching women!!11).
TNO - Vassal — 5, also very old-school. At first, I had the feeling that I might have heard it somewhere. But in general, 30-40 years ago, this kind of sound was quite fashionable and could be found in various types of music. You could easily hear it not only in some chanson or near-chanson, but also in something more pop.
007_moy_laskovyy_i_nezhnyy_zver_vals — 7, well, this definitely hits the old-school vibes; it's hard not to know it

Out of all the heroic cities, my favorite compositions are those for Chaos and Nature from the fourth game, but they have vocals. That's why they are my favorites.

Well, Nature and Chaos are great, of course. But Haven, even without vocals, is also fantastic.

The Academy soundtrack in the fifth game contains motifs from one of the best tracks in the second game, and in my opinion, it is the most diverse in terms of transitions between different compositional parts. I'm not surprised that someone submitted it; it's a worthy choice, and I've always liked it too.

Avalanche - Lyde — 8 - as Alex aptly noted, it's perfect music to fight against a human-avalanche (but not in the Revant's expedition, where he will destroy you in one turn, but in some other game).
Gerudo Valley (From _The Legend of Zelda_ Ocarina of Time_) — 7 - not bad, quite lively, I heard something similar in another Japanese game.
Heroes V Town Academy — 6 - not bad, awesome, and then calm, but I would prefer it to be shorter.
Seiran — 7 - cute, but it's more like a 6.5, but you can only round up, so...
Serenade To A Dream.mp3 — 6 - oh, this is from the guys that Locke once sent to a military song contest. Generic, but not bad.
Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia) — 4 - well, it's not very good, a mishmash of sounds, but it's listenable. I didn't lower the score for the choir...
Ótroðinn — 4 - this is really a track that you can fall asleep to. But it's still listenable.
Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - 04.Castle Corridor — 4 - cute x2, but not as cute as the previous song with the same modifier, and it's also too long. In the game, it's probably great, but listening to it separately...
Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers — 6 - okay, although it wouldn't hurt to shorten it, but I decided not to lower the score for that.
TNO - Vassal —
007_moy_laskovyy_i_nezhnyy_zver_vals — 5 - I haven't watched it, by the way. The first part of the musical composition is super boring, and then it's okay

Avalanche - Lyde — 6 Gerudo Valley (From _The Legend of Zelda_ Ocarina of Time_) — 6 Heroes V Town Academy — 6 Seiran — 9 Serenade To A Dream — 6 Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia) — 6 Ótroðinn — 8 (forgot about it and listened for 8 minutes before turning it off, hence the score) Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - 04.Castle Corridor — 4 Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers — 9 TNO - Vassal — 5 007_moy_laskovyy_i_nezhnyy_zver_vals — 5

They're listening to some kind of weird music; you need to listen to Necropolis and Stronghold music.

In Heroes of Might and Magic III, I didn't like the music for Necropolis at all. It was dull and half-gypsy. In Heroes of Might and Magic VI, the music was also strange. But in Heroes of Might and Magic V, it's perfect; you can really feel how powerful and ruthless the Necromancers are.

Avalanche — Lyde - When the GM's character severely humiliates the players' characters - 5
Gerudo Valley (From _The Legend of Zelda_ Ocarina of Time_) - When you heroically rush to save the princess from the Skreems, but she's actually hanging out with them - 5
Heroes V Town Academy - When you're Zehir and, with all your swagger, you're crushing everyone you meet - 9
Seiran - When is it festive? - 6
Serenade To A Dream - When, due to the bard's music, no one hears how the GM's character is killing your characters - 7
Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia) - When you launch Touhou while being an epileptic - 5
Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - 04.Castle Corridor - When 8-bit sounds not that bad - 5
Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers - When it's cute and pleasant - 6
TNO - Vassal - When they cut out the music from a Soviet song from the 80s-90s - 5
007_moy_laskovyy_i_nezhnyy_zver_vals - When you're invited to dance, and you're like, "Woman, I don't dance" - 5

When will the dividing line be drawn? 🙄

Tomorrow

I love instrumental music; I can't live without it. =_=

Avalanche - Lyde — 3. Dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum, repeated for 4 minutes. No, thank you. It might work in some Japanese action game, I don't know, they probably use something like that there. But just listening to it on its own got boring.
Gerudo Valley (From _The Legend of Zelda_ Ocarina of Time_) — 4. At first, I thought it was a continuation of the previous track, but it's a bit more upbeat. Just a bit.
Heroes V Town Academy — In the first five parts of Heroes, there are no bad town themes. I just picked one that came to hand. I was choosing between mages, necromancers, and dwarves, but I was in a mage mood at that moment. Then I regretted it a bit and wanted to switch to necromancers, but in the end, I gave up and left it as is. I don't really like the elven theme, by the way. But my favorite is the human theme... because it has vocals.
Seiran — 4. Lullaby, lullaby, don't lie on the edge, a nasty lizard will come and bite you on the side.
Serenade To A Dream.mp3 — 7. It made me want to pack a backpack and go on an adventure with knights, princesses, dragons, medieval castles, sailing ships, and all that.
Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia) — 8. I'll give it a plus for the vocals, not a minus. I like this pompous choral singing. And overall, the track is upbeat and action-packed, although I eventually got tired of it.
Ótroðinn — 6. Pleasant, but very background music; I would listen to it in some game, but it's boring to listen to it on its own.
Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - 04. Castle Corridor — 6. You know that kind of theme, nostalgia for something you never had. That's what this is for me. Eight-bit consoles and all sorts of Sonics and Marios passed me by, but I still feel that pleasant nostalgic vibe. Although the composition itself didn't really appeal to me.
Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers — 3. Some kind of cheerful anime generic.
TNO - Vassal — 7. I really liked the sound; the longer I listened, the more I liked it, but it's still tiring.
007_moy_laskovyy_i_nezhnyy_zver_vals — 10. Right away, even before I turned it on. It's really beautiful. It's even something like a world heritage site or something

Gerudo Valley (From The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time) — 6. It's listenable, although I felt nauseous while playing the game back then. Heroes V Town Academy — 6, in my opinion, it's the only decent soundtrack for this Castle in the entire series, but the second half could be cut and restructured. Seiran — 3. Yes, it's not quite what I wanted. Serenade To A Dream — 8. Not bad, moderately soulful, and not overly melancholic, I'll add one point for the overall impression after listening to it all. Touhou Lostword OST - Heavenly Red (Remilia) — 7. Good to listen to while taking a test. Ótroðinn — 6. Good for chilling by the riverbank at dusk. Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - 04. Castle Corridor — 5. We're just vibing with the pixels. It's okay, but not more than that; I'm not a fan of short tracks. Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless - Snow, Moon and Flowers — field_biome.ogg, it's not bad, but something is missing. Let's give it a 6.7 (overall, I'll round it up to 7). TNO - Vassal — 6, a good track to listen to while enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. 007_moy_laskovyy_i_nezhnyy_zver_vals — (smirk). I felt insignificant, and I didn't like it, 4.
