If I’m 100% honest, I kind of loved how New Leaf’s songs were so different from each other. These all seem more together as in they all sound somewhat similar, which is nice but I loved how NL’s were so iconic
Jonathan Parker people were saying these exact same comments when New Leaf came out, and said City Folk was way better and varied. Let it grow on you, a first listen will not tell you a full opinion at ALL when you'll be listening to these songs hundreds of times in game.
Didi : Stu, what are you doing? Stu : Playing Animal Crossing Didi : It's 4 o'clock in the morning. Why on Earth are you playing Animal Crossing? Stu : Because I've lost control of my life
@Law GamingTV Same. Though honestly I miss the gamecube music. Gamecube was the first AC game I ever played. Though Wild World had a really good ost too.
Oh ok good. I was going mad thinking the only song in the game was the One where you just arrived at the island. I've been hearing a lonely guitar all day
I remember when New Leaf came out and I hated the hourly soundtrack. I wasn’t familiar with it, and it didn’t have a thick coat of nostalgia slathered on top. Pretty sure that’s the same reason this might rub people the wrong way at first
I’m having similar feelings in that new leaf was my first ac game that I first played when I was 8 and so I loved the soundtrack from the beginning like I actually cry when I hear certain songs from new leaf and while I still like these songs and it’s still relaxing the early hours sound way to lively to me, but who knows it might grow on me as time goes on
Tail Gang I love them now, but my first listen to them I wasn’t used to them so I didn’t like them as much. Now that I’ve heard those songs a million times now, they’ve grown on me and I love them!
Lauren Kay i loved the new leaf sound track to begin with. But i’m not the biggest fan of this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still good, but it’ll take me a while to get used to it
I like this so much, I understand how people may not like it so much. That is exactly how I felt playing New Leaf for the first time, comparing it to Wild World all the time
As the first Animal Crossing that I've seriously gotten into, I don't really relate to the negative opinions of these songs. I love the variety of the songs and none of them strike me as "samey". There's many songs in this list that I immediately enjoyed a fair bit. 2PM was the first song I heard after being stuck with that one starting song for a week and it was a huge breath of fresh air to hear something slap so hard after hearing endless acoustic guitar riffs.
This is the first Animal Crossing that I play, so I'm not cliuded by nostalgia unlike most peole here in the comment section. I too got tired of the same music at the beginning of the game before I had the town hall changed from a tent to a real town hall. Especially when you play the game for hours and hours...!
Sad to see that most people don't like these tracks, I personally love them and feel like they fit great with the island theme of the game. My only gripe with the music was having to listen to the same guitar track for the first 6 days of playing..
I didn’t realize how much people loved NL’s music. Y’all should give new horizons a chance. I hated NL’s music for the longest time but it kind of grew on me and I’m sure this game will do the same. Already got 12 pm stuck in my head
Everyone in this comment section is too driven by nostalgia and not willing to let the OST change vibes, just actually wait to play the game and see if your opinion actually stays the same (most of the time it doesn't, same thing happened with New Leaf when it came out).
Fuiger You're totally right. The first time I heard these I was so disappointed it had lost that AC feeling. But the more you hear it and the fact that it's a brand new game made me realise it's actually really good and really fits to this new aesthetic. I underestimated it! Edit: (corrected spelling)
EXACTLY!!! i hate that some people are so blinded by nostalgia because if they’d just expand their horizons they’d discover some amazing music from recent games
I freaking love the New Horizons hourly music. Every AC game has its own style, with a soundtrack to match. To me, this perfectly sums up the "get up and go" feel of the island throughout the day, and the peacefulness once nighttime hits. The motif finds its way through each song in some way without making the music repetitive. It might not please everyone, but I think in a couple of years, the people who don't appreciate it now will look back on it fondly. I know I will ♥️
Justin Gale ooh thank you I will do! And I agree WW is the best and from listening to this so far I feel it’s more similar to that than NL which makes me very happy!
I really like how upbeat the morning themes (7am-10am) are. In New Leaf it felt like the game was slowly waking up with you and easing you into the day. Whereas this game just throws you right into the action with these bops at the start of the day.
Guys, these are not the only hourly tracks in the game! Each one of them have a variation according to the weather (Sunny, Rainy and Snowy). I believe most of these, if not all, are from the Sunny weather.
@@DrokasMashUp The "snowy" ones only play when it's snowing like NL, not every winter day, same with the rainy ones And fall and spring don't have any variations

i've been vibing so hard to all of these, honestly I love this low key chill sound they all have. I remember i'd actively avoid playing new leaf during some hours (looking at you 7pm...) because I didn't like some songs but these feel really non invasive and nice
Man, people are really crapping on the music before you unlock the Town Hall. To me, it's like, you'll never get to hear it again once you unlock the town hall. The music is simple because Island life at that point is very simple. Once you start terraforming and moving things around, you sort of wish you could go back and see your island for the first time with that lonely guitar... :(
It’s a shame I keep seeing some people blinded by nostalgia from NL. Just enjoy the new vibe please. You gotta expand your horizon and adapt to change!
You know I have seen people in these comments say that they hated new leafs ost at first but then it grew onto them as they played that game I assume that's how its gonna be here but I already love it, just got unlock the town hall and isabelle to get this music in my game
I think I pinpointed my issue with these tracks. They all feel the same. New Leaf knew how to give different vibes for each hour and change keys for it. I know nostalgia is one heck of a drug, but the vibe in this soundtrack just isn't hitting the same... Edit: Some of these definitely are some bangers, especially the middle of the night. I think it's the day tracks that throw me off
I felt the opposite. The day time ones were some of my favorites, while I feel they sort of dropped the ball with the night time ones. I wish there was more variety in the instrumentation. 7AM, 8AM, 9AM, 12PM, and 5PM are stand outs to me. There is probably a couple more but it seems to be a case of getting used to them.
I would also like to add that New Leaf had an assortment of instruments that blended together well, while I feel that the synths present in this soundtrack are more rigid and have a less natural vibe to them. I guess it’s preference thing though, and I certainly feel more inclined to New Leaf based on nostalgia as well.
Favorites: 6PM - beautiful nostalgic accordion, perfect for sunsets. 3AM - childlike and quirky with a hint of mischief, perfect 3AM vibe. 5PM - a banger. 3PM - another banger. 5AM - soft and dreamy, perfect for early mornings. 10PM - beautiful chords, perfect for nighttime strolls. Least Favorite: 2AM - boring, bland, repetitive, completely pales in comparison to every other 2AM theme before it. And the rest are okay. Honestly, this is my least favorite hourly music out of all the games, but I still like it and I’m still excited for this game!
OH MY GOODNESS I'm so relieved to find this out! It is my first 2 days playing New Horizons as of now and I was sure they removed the 24 hour theme features because I could only hear one song regardless of the current time. I thought they would take the route of G---F---- and remove such a beloved feature that has been around since the beginning
Regular People in quarantine: “What day is it?” New Horizons players: Isabelle: “Today is Wednesday, April 15, 10:22 AM. Nooks Cranny is Trading Turnips at 102 Bells and rising. Enjoy the rest of your day”
I personally like it because the nights lively especially compared to the older Animal crossing games. The villagers and Tom nook don’t sleep at all so it would make more sense that they wouldn’t keep the same quiet calming slow songs.
this sound track is beautiful. for those of you disappointed you don’t love it as much as the old games, you just began hearing these new tracks. just give it time!
5 Am is................... what home sounds like on a cool, calm, rainy morning, when you're in your room listing to the wind in the leaves from under your blankets
My Ratings: 12 AM: Chill, 8/10 1 AM: Relaxing, 8/10 2 AM: I Vibe With It, 9/10 3 AM: It's alright, very..interesting.. 6.5/10 4 AM: Better than 3 AM, 7/10 5 AM: Mellow, I like the Maracas. 8.5/10 6 AM: Love the Synth Melody 9/10 7 AM: Upbeat, Awesome. Love the snares. 9.5/10 8 AM: Oh! A Hint of Techno. Strong Bass. Sounds like a Motif I'd Hear in Splatoon or Persona. 10/10 9 AM: Standard in a good way, love the bongos. Sounds like something I'd hear in a mall. 9/10 10 AM: Catchy, love the running passages. Dance-able. It gets better as it goes on. 9.5/10. 11 AM: Slow Jam. Would eat with ham. Jokes aside, it's nice and relaxing. 9/10 12 PM: Sounds like a high point in the day, perfectly catches the meaning of noon. 10/10 1 PM: Another mellow one, the chords are beautiful. A little empty at times but it progresses. 9/10 2 PM: Basic. Gets the job done, nothing too exciting. Could be better. 8/10 3 PM: Improvement from 2 PM with a calm trumpet melody. Very melodic. 8.5/10 4 PM: Shockingly exciting melodies. Could definitely vibe with this. 9/10 5 PM: Didn't expect something like this, the synth combined with the bass and other instruments is beautiful. 9.5/10 6 PM: Can feel a lot of inspiration from New Leaf in this, very calming. Perfect sunset music. 9.5/10 7 PM: The tone shift is definitely heard here, much more dark. Represents the factor of night well. 9/10 8 PM: Not a lot i can say. It's calming, the bass is awesome. 8.5/10 9 PM: Once again, the bass is doing wonders. Amazing motifs going on. Feels a bit empty though. 8.5/10 10 PM: Doesn't feel as calming as the other but gives a good sense of the time of day. Progressive. 8.5/10 11 PM: Saved by the Bass. The chords are great, I can imagine myself walking around my town at night with this. 8.5/10 What's y'all favorite?
The only one, I might favor is 12PM, because it actually captures the feeling of 12PM! The start of noon, and a productive afternoon! That’s just me, but the NL,WW, and CF will always have a place in my heart :) Edit: 3am as always is the certified weirdo of the group! 0_0
I wouldn't call it the best, but not the worst either. I'll admit I didn't like much of these tracks at first but only 2 days after first listening to this and it had grown on me so much, I love this music now, and while I still might have some critiques of the hourly music, it's amazing.
@@Negius Dude, they both have great soundtracks. Gamecube has some great tracks as well, but from a pure composing standpoint, each title improves upon the last. It's clear you're either blinded by nostalgia or you have horrible taste in music.
When I first got the game, I played it a ton. One day, I woke up early, It was 5am. It was the first time I listened to it, AND OH MY GOSH. I WAS IN LOVE WITH IT AND I STILL AM
It's strange hearing the songs outside my normal waking hours, then slowly transitioning to when I normally play and the songs become more recognizable. After hearing all of them back to back, 3AM, 8AM, 10AM, and 3PM are my favorites. I love the trumpet and trombone playing in this game so much.
This feels much closer to the GameCube soundtrack if I'm honest. The entire game honestly looks and feels closer to Population Growing. And I really like that.
No it really doesn't, the original has all kinds of weird instruments and every hour was crazy different. One song was all cat meows. This is literally all ukelele and synth booping
Gamecube, as Dio Brando said, has very different hourly tunes (lookin at you 2am), and this one is relatively similar, although I have no problem with that. TBH I’m getting much more WW/CF vibes, and that soundtrack is my favorite.
Although the night tracks in this are more energetic than NL, I don't mind it, solely because it'll be harder to fall asleep to. I've accidentally fell asleep many times playing NL.
Not gonna lie, i feel like these musics are kinda repetitive, besides, night's musics needs to be calmer, it's a bit of a shame but i think i'll get use to them quickly overtime Tho i gotta say that i really like 12am
Where is my 7AM gang?!? I cannot be the only one who enjoys 7AM the most. (Maybe because I rarely wake up that early and the song always feel fresh to me when I hear it).
This game is a blessing during the coronavirus pandemic to all those who are in self-quarantine and cannot socialize outside of their home. This game should be GOTY, hands down. Thank you, Nintendo.
If any of you would like to listen to the tracks individually or any of the Rainy and Snowy versions of these tracks check out this playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLmzgiyGh_UbvWUeugUSZCEAgJp_-vHi6W.html
During the covid lockdowns I was spending a lot of time at home and for some reason couldn't sleep during the same hours as before. I'd regularly get up at 5AM, make coffee, play Animal Crossing and watch the sleepy streets outside my window. It was a surreal but peaceful time and the soundtrack PERFECTLY encapsulates that mood in my head now.
Opinion time ~~ So I feel like the "Doo do do doo" main sequence is okay but it didn't need to be incorporated into every single song. If they took that part out they would sound a lot more original. It's by far not bad; it just isn't perfect. But hey we'll probably get used to it eventually and maybe it'll become as beloved as PG, WW and NL
WW and NL both incorporated their main themes into their hourly tracks. I've never had a problem with it. People are just looking for things to complain about
Looking back on the hourly music 1.5 years later it's quite interesting. I'd not played any AC previous and happened to get a New 3DS XL for cheap and got AC New Leaf and played it for about a month leading up to NH coming out and when it finally did I felt that when sad the OST wasnt as good as NL. I'd barely touched NH since being burnt out mid last year after putting 280+ hrs into it very early on and was in groups to trade and help find different things and I feel that ruined a part of the game in the end. Started playing it again in the lead up to Nov 5 2.0 update and found the OST is actually really nice and refreshing to come back to and I've really missed the 12PM tune and some of the evening songs too.
It took me a whike to figure out why this soundtrack just wasn't clicking with me, but now I'm pretty sure it's the guitar. There's waaay too much guitar all playing the same strum, the guitar is just so overpowering and it grates on my ears after listening to the full hour. Really wishes they used less guitar, I would like it in some soundtracks, but it's in way too many for my liking
I surely am a super nostalgic fan. Lots of songs are way too rhytmic and repetitive, some of them sounds like those DIY Tutorial songs you find on youtube. I can't say this is my favourite soundtrack of the whole series. :(
Holy crap. 3:48 is an out of this world tune.. lol. Love the horns and electric guitar? maybe its a combo of both, electric an acoustic?. Anyways, man. WICKED
“Hey what time is it”
“Hold on”
*turns up volume on switch*
“ three pm”
*_VIEWTIFUL!_*
11:57
3pm is my favorite
I remember when I was waiting for the bus and I was sitting on my couch playing animal crossing and it was 7-8 those are my favorites
I hear that one too much (I come home from school at 3 exactly lol)
If I’m 100% honest, I kind of loved how New Leaf’s songs were so different from each other. These all seem more together as in they all sound somewhat similar, which is nice but I loved how NL’s were so iconic
actually i didn’t think they were that different they were pretty similar, with similar motifs too
This isn't My real name not really they all had the keyboard and a music tool that made the songs go weeeooooo
I agree. New Horizons’ all sound too similar. In New Leaf, they were different, yet all still captured the vibe of the hour so perfectly
Jonathan Parker people were saying these exact same comments when New Leaf came out, and said City Folk was way better and varied. Let it grow on you, a first listen will not tell you a full opinion at ALL when you'll be listening to these songs hundreds of times in game.
Each one transitions from the last one easily
Everyone: Who stays up to listen to New Horizons 3am music anyway?
AC fans: Oh boy, 3am~!
lol good spongebob reference
2am dude its fricking wild world ngl
thanks. I now made a meme.

I’m gona miss new leaf’s themes so much, i LOVED new leaf’s 5PM
I personally won't, probably -- New Leaf had my least favourite soundtrack. But don't get me wrong, it was still great.
I think the only one I'm not gonna miss is NL's 5PM honestly :')
Meh Gamecube had the best music. Wild World is my second favorite. I like that this gives off wild world vibes.
Max Reboreda loves new leaf’s one am music
five pm new leaf was my favorite
3AM music is what goes on in my head every day
Relatable. Very relatable
Extremely relatable. : )
"🤔🤭😕"
OH-WOW. that's relatable !!
7AM music is what goes on in my head everyday for me
6pm got that wild world accordion, omg nostalgia 😭
@Law GamingTV or at least playing some at home, huh? not a bad idea
@Law GamingTV Same. Though honestly I miss the gamecube music. Gamecube was the first AC game I ever played. Though Wild World had a really good ost too.
My favorite tune, this music mades me remember the times I spend almost of my day playing Wild World when I was a kid.
They need to bring back just a bit more of that accordian
@@curlygirl56129 I agree I got so hopeful when I heard it... I'm crushed it's really only in one track :((
Once that 6pm accordion started I felt like I got face-slapped by a moist, steamy sack of nostalgia filled feacie. Oh my god
OK, first off: You have quite the way with words. Teach me. And two: I felt the same.
Also does your face not smell of nostalgia and feces right now?
Omg remix of city folk music in here omg listen closely
I know... I wish they were all like this, it's a bop
Odd example, but you're right.
I like actually got chills what
Oh ok good. I was going mad thinking the only song in the game was the One where you just arrived at the island. I've been hearing a lonely guitar all day
it stops when u get town hall
Salex Ikusa The music was slowly getting annoying. But I unlocked town hall.

Right????
agree very much. The 7-8-9 A.M. succession is probably my favorite part of the hourly soundtrack
god ikr i can rock out to it
8am supremacy
8am is my fave
I like this so much, I understand how people may not like it so much. That is exactly how I felt playing New Leaf for the first time, comparing it to Wild World all the time
5PM is so good. Has that warm, sun-about-to-set tone to it. Very chill, groovy, and relaxing with the guitars.

Nice my first one was 8pm as I did it before my online class that day
@@PercyGoldenGod can’t relate yeah it’s the first animal crossing I’ve played but to this day I reset my island just to listen to the prologue music
3am is a certified slapper
It's giving me strong vibes of Goron City + Death Mountain from Breath of the Wild yooooo
3am can suck my toes. i suddenly regret having insomnia
3 am be like "boi do you stil awake? "
It sounds like a Charlie Brown cartoon
It's got that 'searching for froggy chair' vibe.
Sad to see that most people don't like these tracks, I personally love them and feel like they fit great with the island theme of the game. My only gripe with the music was having to listen to the same guitar track for the first 6 days of playing..
3am is just the teacher from Charlie Brown singing a song while playing a guitar.
Pixel Squid I laughed a little too hard on this one 😂😂
It's also like, 5 degrees away from sounding like penis music
🤣🤣🤣
I’m super in love with the 12:00 p.m theme. It feels so right for the island! ❤️
Lemoanaids agreed on so many levels :)
Listening with earbuds in when all of a sudden there's an instagram ad that begins with loud clappin just to smack my eardrums

This is fantastic.

5am is really beautiful
I really like how upbeat the morning themes (7am-10am) are. In New Leaf it felt like the game was slowly waking up with you and easing you into the day. Whereas this game just throws you right into the action with these bops at the start of the day.

Shoot, you got freaked out by 7 pm?
I’m not the only one! 😃
Huh, kinda sad that nothing here hits like NL's 11pm or 1am, but all of these are so energizing in their own way. The basslines, tho, hot ziggity
11pm is the superior song

You know I have seen people in these comments say that they hated new leafs ost at first but then it grew onto them as they played that game I assume that's how its gonna be here but I already love it, just got unlock the town hall and isabelle to get this music in my game
Thanks, this actually helped me get out of my sad nostalgic rut and have a better outlook on things
haha i see what u did there
Ironically this loosely reminds me of Animal Crossing Gamecube's soundtrack due to having more of a beat to it

Edit: Some of these definitely are some bangers, especially the middle of the night. I think it's the day tracks that throw me off
I don't hate them, but yeah new leaf's melody matched the time of day, now it's just too upbeat all the time.
@@LeliPlaysBeatSaber Right. I hope we get the option to change the tracks to the different games (once we unlock Isabelle and the town hall)
I felt the opposite. The day time ones were some of my favorites, while I feel they sort of dropped the ball with the night time ones. I wish there was more variety in the instrumentation. 7AM, 8AM, 9AM, 12PM, and 5PM are stand outs to me. There is probably a couple more but it seems to be a case of getting used to them.
Jonathan Parker every single song in new leaf was accordion and piano
I would also like to add that New Leaf had an assortment of instruments that blended together well, while I feel that the synths present in this soundtrack are more rigid and have a less natural vibe to them. I guess it’s preference thing though, and I certainly feel more inclined to New Leaf based on nostalgia as well.

2AM - boring, bland, repetitive, completely pales in comparison to every other 2AM theme before it.
And the rest are okay. Honestly, this is my least favorite hourly music out of all the games, but I still like it and I’m still excited for this game!
I kind of agree but 2AM has always been boring
@@ArkayneShad0w After listening to each version. New Horizon's is the best of them all imo.
I feel the same. I’m not that impressed by the music. 😬 It sounds nice, but does it have that Animal Crossing strangeness? Idk
It's not bad. But Wild World will always be the best
I actually like this more then new leaf as it has brass instruments and not just pianos and percussion
My only hope is that we can change the music to older titles, so I can listen to that “meow” song from Animal Crossing GameCube.
Please let that be in this game, I can't live without New Leaf music.
Same I’d instantly change it to city folk
Yesss plz make that a Nook App
GameCube had by far the best music.
OMG! I completely forgot about that meow theme! I just remember joking about saving the cat that was stuck in a tree, meowing to the beat.
OH MY GOODNESS I'm so relieved to find this out! It is my first 2 days playing New Horizons as of now and I was sure they removed the 24 hour theme features because I could only hear one song regardless of the current time.
I thought they would take the route of G---F---- and remove such a beloved feature that has been around since the beginning
can’t believe this game has been out for 5 years already
This game isn’t even out yet...
Unpunk my bad I’m in 2025
@@Unpunk can you seriously not tell that was a joke
Ikr. I’m so nostalgic right now
The "ending" is so sad :(
Regular People in quarantine:
“What day is it?”
New Horizons players:
Isabelle: “Today is Wednesday, April 15, 10:22 AM. Nooks Cranny is Trading Turnips at 102 Bells and rising. Enjoy the rest of your day”
Thanks for using my birthday :)
Damn, all of these are amazing, but I will miss the vibes the other games gave. 5am is my favorite
gives us another reason to play the older games along with new horizons
noah park u h h h

Yeah I hate the new soundtrack. NL’s will always rule
@@hannah3970 blinded by nostalgia
The night music sounds like day music 👻
I personally like it because the nights lively especially compared to the older Animal crossing games. The villagers and Tom nook don’t sleep at all so it would make more sense that they wouldn’t keep the same quiet calming slow songs.
broo right
This will soon be nostalgia in a few years from now
Nailed it on the head. Lockdown vibes for sure 🤣
Yesss I find the prologue music more nostalgic though and have reset my island 40+ times to listen to it
this sound track is beautiful. for those of you disappointed you don’t love it as much as the old games, you just began hearing these new tracks. just give it time!
Thanks for uploading! Let's hope the Nintendo Ninjas don't take this down.

What's y'all favorite?
Sharkbyte you’re objectively wrong about 3am but it’s ok cause the rest of your list is great
I can’t really even choose a favorite, too many good tracks.
@@flapjak8225 Also wrong about 6pm. The style is more Wild World than New Leaf.
11am is real nostalgic to me for some reason...I love it
And there are 3 variations of each track according to the weather: Sunny, Rainy and Snowy!!
The only one, I might favor is 12PM, because it actually captures the feeling of 12PM! The start of noon, and a productive afternoon! That’s just me, but the NL,WW, and CF will always have a place in my heart :) Edit: 3am as always is the certified weirdo of the group! 0_0
For everyone asking how to unlock the hourly music in your game here's a video guide on it! th-cam.com/video/1OvtdbiQhiQ/w-d-xo.html
This is by far the best hourly soundtrack since the original, and the comments here are revolting.
I Stan this comment
I wouldn't call it the best, but not the worst either. I'll admit I didn't like much of these tracks at first but only 2 days after first listening to this and it had grown on me so much, I love this music now, and while I still might have some critiques of the hourly music, it's amazing.
Objectively speaking Gamecube had the worst soundtrack.
@@dominicgunderson if you actually liked city folk and new leaf's soundtrack I don't know what to say
@@Negius Dude, they both have great soundtracks. Gamecube has some great tracks as well, but from a pure composing standpoint, each title improves upon the last. It's clear you're either blinded by nostalgia or you have horrible taste in music.
When I first got the game, I played it a ton. One day, I woke up early, It was 5am. It was the first time I listened to it, AND OH MY GOSH. I WAS IN LOVE WITH IT AND I STILL AM
7AM, 8PM, 5AM, and 12PM are the best
7AM IS THE GREATEST ONE OF ALL
It's strange hearing the songs outside my normal waking hours, then slowly transitioning to when I normally play and the songs become more recognizable.
After hearing all of them back to back, 3AM, 8AM, 10AM, and 3PM are my favorites. I love the trumpet and trombone playing in this game so much.
This is better than lofi for studying, change my mind
There’s no mind changing to do
All these songs are absolutely great
This feels much closer to the GameCube soundtrack if I'm honest. The entire game honestly looks and feels closer to Population Growing. And I really like that.
Me, too. It's nice.
No it really doesn't, the original has all kinds of weird instruments and every hour was crazy different. One song was all cat meows. This is literally all ukelele and synth booping
@Trev No
Gamecube, as Dio Brando said, has very different hourly tunes (lookin at you 2am), and this one is relatively similar, although I have no problem with that. TBH I’m getting much more WW/CF vibes, and that soundtrack is my favorite.
5am song is wonderful listening to at nighttime! Familiar Animal Crossing vibes with a little new twist. A treasure!
Although the night tracks in this are more energetic than NL, I don't mind it, solely because it'll be harder to fall asleep to. I've accidentally fell asleep many times playing NL.
Not gonna lie, i feel like these musics are kinda repetitive, besides, night's musics needs to be calmer, it's a bit of a shame but i think i'll get use to them quickly overtime
Tho i gotta say that i really like 12am
Not the first time th-cam.com/video/J36o0MZ7EzU/w-d-xo.html
These are just great, especially the second one, my favorite.. feels like "It's going to be alright."
Where is my 7AM gang?!? I cannot be the only one who enjoys 7AM the most. (Maybe because I rarely wake up that early and the song always feel fresh to me when I hear it).
How come nobody is giving 7AM and 9AM some love? Theyre so catchy
this exactly what I was looking for! thank you so much!
5 AM sounds so soft
This game is a blessing during the coronavirus pandemic to all those who are in self-quarantine and cannot socialize outside of their home. This game should be GOTY, hands down. Thank you, Nintendo.
If any of you would like to listen to the tracks individually or any of the Rainy and Snowy versions of these tracks check out this playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLmzgiyGh_UbvWUeugUSZCEAgJp_-vHi6W.html
I alright thanks
i guess I am quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch new movies online?
@Tatum Edgar i use FlixZone. Just google for it :)
@Anders Milan yea, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :D
@Anders Milan Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !!
During the covid lockdowns I was spending a lot of time at home and for some reason couldn't sleep during the same hours as before. I'd regularly get up at 5AM, make coffee, play Animal Crossing and watch the sleepy streets outside my window. It was a surreal but peaceful time and the soundtrack PERFECTLY encapsulates that mood in my head now.
Everyone out here talking about how they miss New Leaf music and I'm just hear thinking about City Folk :(
i listen to this while doing school from home now and it has been so nice and peaceful. thank you for making this video
These music is kinda wholesome
6 pm gives me City Folk vibes with the accordion ♡ aw the memories
Everybody gangsta till 6pm music starts playing
5pm goes so hard oml
Loving me some 7am, gonna miss New Leaf's 7pm tho
9am and 11am are the jazzy bops we deserve
3 am sounds really... Interesting 😂..
DrBugz interesting in a good way of course
Wonky 3am is back baby
I had to look up the OST because I thought the only hourly music the game had was that same damn guitar loop
Because the hourly music doesn't come in till the town hall is built.
mokana713 I got town hall now, really annoying with that guitar thing. So drab
i cant wait to unlock hourly music because the repetitive guitar makes me sad as shit and i gotta play on low volume
7pm is definitely my favorite. Good vibes.
Why do i feel like this is just Vsauce's background music
I really like the new hourly music so far! I just kinda wish they didn't sound too familiar to eachother. But I still like this!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think 7am seems to have a splice of the tune for 6am from City Folk! If so, it’s a nice little callback!
The 7 PM music is so chilled...
Opinion time ~~
So I feel like the "Doo do do doo" main sequence is okay but it didn't need to be incorporated into every single song. If they took that part out they would sound a lot more original. It's by far not bad; it just isn't perfect. But hey we'll probably get used to it eventually and maybe it'll become as beloved as PG, WW and NL
Rachel Joy I agree
New Leaf also had its main theme incorporated in basically all of the hourly music but ok
WW and NL both incorporated their main themes into their hourly tracks. I've never had a problem with it. People are just looking for things to complain about
Marcos Paul Real NL was still varied. My favourite soundtrack is 7 PM, and it doesn’t have even a tiny bit of the main theme.
Marcos Paul Real I love the game and I’m not “looking for things to complain about.” I just genuinely don’t enjoy the music.
i know nobody likes the 2am music but i love it. the guitar reminds me of wild world.
Hmm I hope you can change the music back to old games music because I really like the GameCube soundtrack as well as the new one especially
Sanswilleatyourcookies yes that would be awesome
Thought you could actually change the music on your island, so maybe they added those :O
꧁ Liv ꧂ samee!! I’m so hyped rn ;000
Oh my gosh it’s so beautiful
This games gonna make me cry again
Some Of The Early Hour AM Songs Sound Kinda Yoshi-sh
Aiden which is good, like 3am for example
FLAP JAK yeah it 100% reminds me of crafted world
Looking back on the hourly music 1.5 years later it's quite interesting. I'd not played any AC previous and happened to get a New 3DS XL for cheap and got AC New Leaf and played it for about a month leading up to NH coming out and when it finally did I felt that when sad the OST wasnt as good as NL.
I'd barely touched NH since being burnt out mid last year after putting 280+ hrs into it very early on and was in groups to trade and help find different things and I feel that ruined a part of the game in the end.
Started playing it again in the lead up to Nov 5 2.0 update and found the OST is actually really nice and refreshing to come back to and I've really missed the 12PM tune and some of the evening songs too.
Thanks for sharing a awesome story! We recently started to pick up the game again as well for the almost the same reasons so we can definitely relate
It took me a whike to figure out why this soundtrack just wasn't clicking with me, but now I'm pretty sure it's the guitar. There's waaay too much guitar all playing the same strum, the guitar is just so overpowering and it grates on my ears after listening to the full hour. Really wishes they used less guitar, I would like it in some soundtracks, but it's in way too many for my liking
I like the direction of the soundtrack. The R&B, Jazz, Soul, Synth really does it for me. I guess its not everyones cup of tea unfortunately.
I surely am a super nostalgic fan. Lots of songs are way too rhytmic and repetitive, some of them sounds like those DIY Tutorial songs you find on youtube. I can't say this is my favourite soundtrack of the whole series. :(
Well they're pretty different from the rest of the series, maybe it'll just grow on you.
Rossana Pacilli Exactly, it makes me sad
@@hi-vp8bm I hope so!
3am is an absolute banger. reminds me of ed edd n eddy!
Holy crap. 3:48 is an out of this world tune.. lol. Love the horns and electric guitar? maybe its a combo of both, electric an acoustic?. Anyways, man. WICKED
10 AM, 11 AM and 5 PM are the best three by far. Gotta say that despite playing New Leaf religiously, I already like these a lot better.
I hated the music in New Leaf, but this music is brilliant and reminiscent of Wild World’s amazing soundtrack.
24:05
9 am all day, every day
i like it and all but,, are you telling me that they have an island themed game and they ARENT using steel pans
