What is the most ear shattering, indefensible, CIA-torture tier, merzbow-through-a-tin-can-on-a-string retro music you can think of. I’m talking even at it’s time, including all the technological limitations, it made you wonder if the composer lost a bet to make the worst shit imaginable. We always hear the best of the best, let’s see the worst of the rest.

I’ll start us off:

There is actually a lot of shit about this composer but the tl;dr version is he had someone else do most of his music and took credit for it. It's speculated he was actually responsible for this track due to how terrible it was.

Also, this one isn't retro, but I'll give this one as an honorable mention of a song that starts off sounding like someone made a Crazy Bus song but actually made it sound good after its intro:

The best part? He had actually been pretending for years to be deaf, and I'm sure once he heard that he knew it was wrong, but if he said anything they'd know he was faking his deafness.

Nah. That is an actual cope. They used the correct instrument. The guy who posted that YouTube video was just trying to make it sound better. All he really did by "changing the instrument" was practically entirely mute the horn part just so he could overpower it with long, stereotypical synth horror sounds. Definitely not the original composer's intent.

The original composition is just bad. Besides, the remix/fix still sucks, it's just not as grating due to muted effects. There was no error here, just bad work.

It's funny how divisive this one is. I personally do hate it, but I think it's because I hate the color scheme of Chrono Cross and its eyeblinding color saturation and contrasting colors everywhere. It's only amplified in its ugly battles filled with weirdo shitty characters. So you throw over that that battle theme which comes off as hectic spaghetti, and it all just comes together to be shitty.

Weirdly, the battle theme seems a lot more tolerable to me in Radical Dreamers because it actually kinda fits the atmosphere, pacing, and text format of it. So I think it's less the music itself and more the game it's attached to. Or maybe the updated Playstation composition is worse, I dunno. But I hear a lot of people say they love this song for some reason and I've never liked it.
