**Rate the Music: Week 27**

**M-A-G** · 08-13-2025, 07:29 AM

Starting a bit later than usual, but I have my reasons. They aren't good or acceptable reasons, but they are reasons nonetheless. Anyway, let's get this going. Stop judging me. Judge the music instead! That's what we're here for in the first place. Like with last week's challenger to the throne, Zangief Stage Theme from the ever classic Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Does Zangief have the chops to pile drive Guile out of the top five?

Wily Fortress 1 (Mega Man 2) - 8.75
One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy 7) - 8.71
Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country) - 8.66
At Doom's Gate (Doom) - 8.375
Guile Stage Theme (Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo) - 8.25
Secret of the Forest (Chrono Trigger) - 8.14
Go Straight (Streets of Rage 2) - 8
Bloody Tears (Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest) - 7.85
Anything But Tangerines (Earthworm Jim 2) - 7.75
Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog) - 7.72
Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64) - 7.71
Fight Against Smithy (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) - 7.2
Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved) - 7.125
Spark Mandrill Stage (Mega Man X) - 7
Act 2 Part 2 (Ninja Gaiden) - 6.66
Ozar Midrashim (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver) - 6.6
Zangief Stage Theme (Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo) - 6.4
Breeze - In Monochrome Night (Silent Hill 3) - 6.25
Big Apple, 3AM (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Turtles in Time) - 6.16
Apocalypse Battle (X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse) - 5.75
Still Alive (Mirror's Edge) - 5.5
The Instinct (Killer Instinct) - 5.42
Blast Man Stage (Mega Man 11) - 4.85
Heaven (The Impossible Game) - 4.16
Goro's Lair (Mortal Kombat) - 4
The Jack Attack (You Don't Know Jack: Television) - 3.57

Eh, no dice. Zangief Stage Theme must go home and be a family man, content with its 6.4 score. Above average, sure, but not that impressive when compared to the rest of the standings.

So with that, it's time to challenge another top spot. This week, we climb up to the number four spot to directly call out At Doom's Gate from 1993's Doom. And seeing how it's the track from the first level of the first episode of the game, how about we go with the first level of the second episode? Here is I Sawed the Demons from Doom!

Well, questionable grammar aside, what do you think of this track? Does it deserve to unseat its first episode counterpart? Is it just fine on its own? I leave it up to you. Until next week!

No matter what may happen to me, just remember Lzzy Hale gave me the bedroom eyes... ...again.
