Sonic Boom was the notable theme of Sonic CD. Despite the "soundtrack wars," even those who prefer the Japanese soundtrack seem to have a bit of a soft spot for the song.
Sonic Boom/Closing (Pastiche)
Upbeat, the song's rock vibe is aided by encouraging lyrics that narrate the situation. For the closing, everything's a bit slower and more gentle.
Cover (Crush 40/Cash Cash)
Clearly with a more modern vibe, the vocals are backed by a more robot-like tone. The combination of Crush 40's more traditional, natural rock along with Cash Cash's more futuristic, experimental effects is a unique and memorable performance.
Winner: Original
While the remade version is likable, the original is better balanced and inseparable from both "classic" Sonic and Sonic CD. The more recent sound of the cover actually works against it, a bit, though it certainly has its' moments.
I really wish they had made "Sonic Boom" the theme of the Sonic Boom the TV Show. Would have been a lot better than what we got.
