We finally get to hear the full song for one of the stages, Park Avenue. I gotta say, I'm digging the song. It really makes me more excited to hear the rest of the game's soundtrack

 

It sounds great!

Actually this is just a preview, it doesn't sound like the whole theme, but regardless, it is pretty interesting. I'll admit, the lyrics aren't the most inspired of Sonic lyrics, but the overall theme is still pretty catchy and I still like that last 3rd of the lyrics. Plus, between Classic's techno and synth and Modern's rock and orchestral elements, giving the Hero character a more dance-mix almost J-pop kind of aesthetic with lyrics really fits, especially since as a custom character they probably won't speak for themselves in cutscenes, so it really helps to have lyrics that kind of speak those thoughts for them (which I guess would kind of explain the "generic-ness" of the lyrics, since like the character they sort of need to be a "catch-all" kind of thing that could literally come from anybody). In any case, I too can't wait to hear the rest of the sound track. I just really hope Classic's music is much more fitting in other stages, or that they at least change his Green Hill theme, it still sounds way too off for me.

There's a place off old Park Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
