->''Welcome to [=ReZ=], where I show you the more musical side of gaming.''

WebVideo/ReZonanceSoundtrackReviews [[labelnote:*]]Yes, the Z is capitalized[[/labelnote]] is a web video review show on Website/YouTube by Nathan Moore, AKA [=ReZ=], that began with three episodes all launching on November 7, 2012. The subject matter? Video game soundtracks. Something that pretty much no one else does. Further making the videos unique is his way of scoring the soundtracks, by which we mean he literally gives them [[ScoringPoints a score.]] Over the course of a {{review}}, the soundtrack earns and is deducted points varying between 100 to 1000, depending on the amount of praise or scorn given at the moment. And at the end, if it scores high enough, it's put on the High Score table.

His style is comparable to {{WebVideo/Brutalmoose}}'s and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BalrogtheMaster Balrog The Master's]]: A informative and descriptive analysis of the soundtrack peppered with occasional oddball jokes. You'll probably have a good view on what the soundtrack is all about at the end of every review. So far, he's done the soundtracks for relatively well-known games, such as ''Skyrim'', ''Katamari'', or ''Shadow of the Colossus'', but he does take requests. LIKE YS 3!

His channel is right in this [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Dumpsterchickenshows link.]] You can access a playlist of all his reviews [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfjc5YB1WsrjURgIp79Uc47Qo2GDflvFB here.]] [[labelnote:*]]Note that that playlist is not in release date order.[[/labelnote]]

!!This series provides examples of:

* AprilFoolsDay: A subversion. After [=ReZ=] [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this trope and the fact that he won't be doing it in the Bubble Bobble OST review, it's played straight all the way through. It's even important to the continuity of his reviews.
* ArtificialIntelligence: Izumi, a Japanese-speaking AI that lives in [=ReZ=]'s tech. She classifies herself as a VEA (Video Editing Assistant), which means she “do[es] all the hard work whenever [[=ReZ's=]] too lazy.” She mainly acts as a [[NonHumanSidekick helping hand]] to [=ReZ=], such as creating small video game remix compilations as filler or giving him a game soundtrack to review when he was struggling to find one. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero ...A game soundtrack that drove him temporarily insane with its awfulness and damaged his brain.]] Oops. Perhaps partly in guilt, she took it upon herself to upload herself to his brain and start repairing it.
* BrokeTheRatingScale: Subverted. Despite getting several 1000 points deductions, Bubble Bobble's OST could not get below a zero, which is even stranger since the score has gone into the negatives before.
* BuffySpeak: What happens when [=ReZ=] tries to explain what Xemnas's third form in VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII looks like in his Top 7 Boss Battle Theme Songs list.
** This was also used in the Ikaruga OST review when describing what the Sound FX made the setting feel like.
* ClimacticMusic: Ikaruga's OST gets 800 points for doing this in the review.
* ExpositionFairy: Izumi is turning into this with the more recent reviews, since she's [=ReZ=]'s guide throughout his own mind.
* FreakOut: Bubble Bobble's virtually one-song long soundtrack dove him into a temporary state of insanity.
* HypocriticalHumor: Izumi lightly chastises [=ReZ=] for thinking that Ikaruga was actually alive and says that “Video Games can't be alive,” despite being a highly advanced AI herself. She isn't a video game, though. Still.
* IncrediblyLamePun: “Fighting games are really awesome. And an awesome soundtrack really gives that fighting game that extra, punch. [[LampshadeHanging Get it? Ehhh.”]]
* JitterCam: Used for comical effect in the Ikaruga OST review.
** Also used in the Top 7 Pavlov games list video, when the Skyrim theme played.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: What all of the reviews since the ''Shadow of the Colossus''' OST one have taken place in. This is thanks to Izumi, who spoke to [=ReZ=] while in his brain, and that somehow caused him to fall into his own mind.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After his FreakOut, [=ReZ=] had a lot of his gaming memories and information go under that amnesia laser. And it's Izumi's self-given job to fix that.
* MusicalGameplay: He gets into a peaceful & immersive state with January's epitomizing use of this.
* MysteriousProtector: Izumi halfway qualifies but differs in that [=ReZ=] was, until recently, not aware of her presence at all, we know exactly who she is from the beginning, and it seems that her secrecy is partly accidental.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Not only did Izumi unintentionally give [=ReZ=] the object that caused him to become insane for a while and give him amnesia, she also caused him to become trapped in his own head just by talking to him while inside said head. You're not batting a thousand, Izumi.
* PowerupLetdown: In-universe. In the VideoGame/SuperMarioKart OST review, [=ReZ=] discovered that since he is in his own mind, he does have RealityWarper powers... with limitations.
* RhymingEpisode: The Banjo-Kazooie OST review, which also was a ChristmasEpisode.
* ShoutOut: When [=ReZ=] goes on on his own in his mind, Izumi shouts to him, “Wait! [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI It's dangerous to go alone.”]]
* SimpleYetAwesome: [=ReZ=]'s theory on why Katamari's OST works so well for the game.
* TakeThat: Twice against ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'''s OST for just reusing and remixing previous songs from the crossing franchises in his [[TopTenList Top 7 Fighting Game Soundtracks]] video.
* ThemeTune: The song used with the High Score Table at the end of the review (and was used in the opening for the first two reviews) is called “Buggie Running Beeps,” and is from, fittingly enough, the game {{VideoGame/Rez}}.
* VariableMix: Banjo-Kazooie's OST received praise in his review for this.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: He loves The Dormin's (from VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus) use of this trope.
