@@tendrl Cool, let's call your boss and tell them you should have no days off, work 18 hour days and need to do the work for 3 of your coworkers and your boss while they go to Tahiti for a month. That's fine as long as the work is done and done well right? That'd be fair to you? No? Exactly the point being made. THINK
I just heard this a few hours ago for the first time in game, I couldn't even focus on playing it slapped so hard. I was literally saying out loud "CHRIS! CHRIS IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS BRO! CALM DOWN JESUS CHRIST!". Unreal track.
this is gotta be my favorite, i was in game with my friend and it started by "dang i like this song" "WOW this song is amazing" "IT KEEPS GOING" "OH MY FUCKING GOD" you're a mad man chris
I stank faced into oblivion. This is so disgustingly good, beautiful transitions and the solos were so delicious. Also the Surface Tension motif??? Chris you are such an inspiration!!!
This sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy... I don't own a lawnmower but I'll feel the need to buy one just to make sure I can control fate by not turning it on on the day. Of course what I won't know is that the accident actually happens on the 28th, but it takes me 24 hours of agonising pain in the hospital to die. Thanks for nothing...
I'm happy to report that I came out victorious, yet battered and bruised, after me and the lawnmower fought to the death - it's death. I knew it had it in for me so I decided to strike first. Minutes before the clock struck midnight I pulled its plug. Unfortunately, the recent passing of comet ATLAS resulted in the abomination still trying to attack me, Maximum Overdrive-style. Thankfully it didn't have enough juice so I eventually disassembled the whole thing and put it back together as a vacuum robot, a punching bag and a glorified walking stick. The robot is connected to the internet so I guess... hasta la vista, Skynet.
I love when Chris does something unexpected, which is almost always with his unique tracks, but man what is this jazz-fusion keyboard solo bit, I don't see something this different since the crazy saxophone part from The Face of the Deep, what a time to be alive
its crazy how with each subsequent song release the stankier my face gets. love the music chris, preordered the vinyl (in addition to buying all the reprints that i missed)
Getting to hear all 3 parts as one song is going to be great as one of those people who listens to songs averaging 10 minutes in length. This is like Liquid Tension Experiment 4 for free!
Just for clarity's sake, the three parts are not one piece of music, which is exactly why they are spread over three parts and not put in sequence in the album. Not that you can't listen to them however you like of course :)
I really love how different this one is. It makes me really happy to know that despite having to make music for the same series for over 10 years under such time crunch, you still manage to do new and cool things I never would have expected with your music.
I have a friend who doesn't like Risk of Rain, but I showed him the music and now he's a huge fan of your works just because of how legendary of a composer you are. You make some of the best VGM I've ever heard
Everyone is freaking out about that guitar solo (rightly so) but oh my GOD, that Rhodes solo was incredible, I died the first time I hit this stage because I was caught listening to you absolutely tear those keys apart. Incredible work as always, please release a jazz trio album and my life is yours
I'm really glad you like it because it's one of my favourite moments on the album! It's not me playing though, it's actually my brother Costis, who is a great jazz pianist.
This song makes you feel like you have POWER. Man this ost has rocked from the beginning but you have outdone yourself! I’m about to purchase the album just to support you
WHAT IN THE SURFACE TENSION 7/8 HEAVY HITTING ELECTRIC GUITAR EMOTIONAL CLIMAX WAS THAT LAST THIRD OF THE SONG EXCUSE ME shouting panic aside, oh my *god* this is probably one of my favorite, and i keep saying that for just about every song in the album, even all the way back to ISBTMAS. but something about hearing my favorite song from risk of rain 1 (aside from coalescence) being brought back in such a more intense feeling song emotionally is just incredible. jaw-dropping work as always, man. you killed it. i will now proceed to loop that last third or so of the song for the next hour-
While hearing the new tracks for the first time playing multiplayer, I'd mention to my friends "yo the music's so good tho???" When I got to this stage, I said it three times within the span of one minute, probably somewhere around 1:35, because IT JUST KEEPS GOING HARDER!! CHRIS THIS IS JUST A REGULAR STAGE THEME, YOU DID NOT HAVE TO GO *THIS* HARD! 2:53 YOU COOKED SO HARD!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
This one is genuinely jaw dropping everytime I hear this whether in game or just in general. Can’t decide which one from this album is my favorite, as they all just make me emotional for some unexplainable reason. This is truly perfection.
Danm Chris, being real honest you gotta be on the top 3 most competents musicians in the game industry right now, truly amazing how every single track is consistently amazing and full of personality.
Do you actually have a top 3? I think it'd be something like Lena Raine, Austin Wintory, and Chris Christodoulou, in no particular order. Just like a bit of a balanced holy Trinity honestly, they each do/represent different ends of the spectrum I think
You literally do not know how this song made me feel in the Treeborn Colony. I literally stood and just closed my eyes for a minute. Never change Chris. You are the MAN
My jaw fucking DROPPED when I heard this in game. Chris you continue to be one of my idols for arranging such complex, engaging masterpieces. Needless to say, ill be listening to this along side the rest of ny ror2 playlist.
goddammit that gotta be one of my all time favorites from now on. That placid island of ignorance theme with surface tension and insane groove transitioning into goofy jazz is something else man. And also harmony in power part later literally blew me away, absolute greatness. However I for some reason feel like this one fits better to be the first part rather then second, probably because the first one you released is quite heavy and somewhat darker, idk. Either way splendid work my man, really waiting for other tracks
I remember when I was first on the stage that had this track, and I literally just stopped in place around 1:17 and just listened. Chris is a genius and he continues to inspire me with his music :)
Could not believe my ears the first time I heard that Rhodes solo- I had to park my car on the side of the road and give it several re-listens. Thank you for continuing to be the avenue for which this style of music receives so much positive attention.
This is easily my favorite track from Chris just because of how eregular the time signiture is during the solo. The drums especially are just so smooth that it feels like improv with how the fills are structured. Amazing job as always Chris.
I absolutely love the surface tension and placid island of ignorance motifs! Btw Chris, your songs have gotten me through some very hard times in life. Depression is not easy to overcome. Thanks for the music and keep making more ❤
You really never miss a beat, do you Chris? Hearing from 1:58 onwards my jaw DROPPED. It certainly wasn’t something I was expecting but I’m all for it. You’re music is wondrous, and please, never stop making it.
Nah the composition of this one is insane. First with the funky sexy part and then with the awesome badass solo and riff. Much love from Argentina, you are an incredible artist Chris
This is such a shredding solo using motifs of "They Might as Well Be Dead" and "Surface Tension". Chris remains a modern leader in VGM. Hell yeah Chris!
This is by far and away my all time favorite one you've made thus far, especially the latter half. It just goes so hard, especially after the funky part. It'd like chaos and misalignment incarnate forms into the hardest music I can think of. Makes me cry listening to it it's so beautiful
The Dream Theater esque feelings this gave me are crazy, and I wouldn't even say I overly listen to em, but the change of seasons almost deja vu I got while listening before slamming straight back into the classic sounds underpinned by the remaining kinda funky strangeness... One of a kind, yet another banger.
Sir... I'm speechless. Was playing with 3 buddies and we ended up on the map where this plays. We we're busy as all hell (monsoon and no joke, kids). Then the solo hit. The 2:53 part... you know the one. We were, all four of us, stunned. It gives me the shivers. Makes me stop what I'm doing, close my eyes and pray to imaginary rains. I just. Wow. Thank you, I guess is what I'm saying. Just thanks for that. Oh yeah, we died shortly after.
@@atlas16198 I can't remember the name of the stage rn, but it's one of the ones on the path of the titan that is made up of floating platforms with tree branches or maybe vines connecting them all up Edit: it's called Treeborn Colony
Yeah that's the one! Had to look it up haha. Don't know what's going on right now but its a tough level. The music mixed with the difficulty makes for a hype-as-hell level.
This song is peak, one of my fav in the album. Too many cool details and things in the song that make it so great, and so proggy: I dont know, this is just amazing. That guitar going into real overdrive at the end is a sweet way to end. Thanks for this trilogy of songs too.
every single solo in the Om Mani Padme Hum trio is incredible, but i like this one the most, it just keeps going and one-upping itself, everytime u think its going to stop it doesnt, it just keeps on going
This has been thoroughly stuck in my head since you released those 2 teasers on your Instagram Chris and now I can say for sure it’s my absolute favourite ror2 song to date
this one was once again, fuckin amazing... not that ive listened to it yet, i just know Chris is incapable of making something that could even remotely be considered bad.
I just want to tell you that you are a great motivation for me. I'm from Argentina and my dream is to be able to create soundtracks for video games. You are amazing Chris
The look on my face when I first heard this a few days ago... The guitar solo by George, the piano solo by Costis, and your amazing composition had my jaw on the FLOOR. Utterly amazing.
i love the time signature shenanigans in this one. i think it's 13/8 for most of the song, then when the guitar solos happen at 0:55 and 1:58 it switches to 3 bars of 7/4 (or 14/8) and 1 bar of 13/8 repeating. it's so sick. combine that with the legendary jazz keyboard solo and George shredding and this is probably my favorite song of yours
This album is immaculate… so many leitmotifs and melodies coming and clashing together to create this masterpiece.. chris.. you really have outdone yourself
The solos are so good, the 3 min mark made my brain explode. I feel like the music of these games could be their own genre! thanks for the good music!!!!
Dude this is the hardest and most well played out. That jazzy jam a quarter through, holy hell man! Before that the RoR1 motif with the soundfont of that game. Halfway through you just keep building up to the end and its banging as fuck man! Thank you.
Thanks Chris for the timing of the osts, they’re for sure gonna get me through this school year. edit: I also didn’t know someone could shred on a piano
ohhhhh my god... I dont even know where to start. All i know is that i need more of this. No idea how to find it, if more of this kind of thing even exists. But oh man, this was beautiful
There's plenty of music like this around. You can search for jazz fusion, or prog rock, or anything in between. There are a lot of bands and artists going all the way back to the early 70s. I will suggest a less known band/album by a band called Karmakanic, titled "Who's the Boss in the Factory?".
As soon as the Rhodes came in it made me giggle like a child. There's nothing quite like hearing a piece of music for the first time and you never disappoint. Thank you for this Chris.
Sadly couldn't make it for the premiere, but holy crap this song is absolutely legendary! I think this song settles it, RoR2 has my favorite game OST. Amazing job with this, Chris!
chris I love it when you put parts of your other songs in your songs like when i was listening to this song i could hear glimpses of some other ror ost but I couldnt figure it out for the life of me, until when i was half awake half sleeping on the bus and defecit of moisture started playing, after I woke up from my trans it just fucking clicked and it was so obvious then on but i love both songs even more for it now, thank you
You've really outdone yourself with this damn sick guitar solo. Hope you're doing fine after working so hard in each of these tracks, they really are breath-taking, so take a breath, king. edit: just noticed the solo wasn't by you but either way the composition is peak.

yesterday my mom walked in on me playing on the living room xbob and she was like "dayum son you rockin out right now"
i love the time signature shenanigans in this one. i think it's 13/8 for most of the song, then when the guitar solos happen at 0:55 and 1:58 it switches to 3 bars of 7/4 (or 14/8) and 1 bar of 13/8 repeating. it's so sick. combine that with the legendary jazz keyboard solo and George shredding and this is probably my favorite song of yours
@@Mega_Croissantamence I was trying to play it now on drums and just realized how much I underestimated this song.
Its my new favorite Chris track.
I close my eyes... I listen to this... no words describe the emotion, chills felt. This Drop puts the rain in risk of rain.
This album is immaculate… so many leitmotifs and melodies coming and clashing together to create this masterpiece.. chris.. you really have outdone yourself
The solos are so good, the 3 min mark made my brain explode. I feel like the music of these games could be their own genre! thanks for the good music!!!!
Dove into this on spotify just now. Had to stop everything just to comprehend what i was experiencing. Absolute masterpiece!
Dude this is the hardest and most well played out. That jazzy jam a quarter through, holy hell man! Before that the RoR1 motif with the soundfont of that game.
Halfway through you just keep building up to the end and its banging as fuck man! Thank you.
Thanks Chris for the timing of the osts, they’re for sure gonna get me through this school year.
edit: I also didn’t know someone could shred on a piano
can we all agree to have this as our new years beat drop? "om mani padme hum" we all say in unison (or at least a few hours off)
Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ, part II: electric boogaloo
*electric ukulele
*electric piano
ohhhhh my god... I dont even know where to start. All i know is that i need more of this. No idea how to find it, if more of this kind of thing even exists. But oh man, this was beautiful
There's plenty of music like this around. You can search for jazz fusion, or prog rock, or anything in between. There are a lot of bands and artists going all the way back to the early 70s.
I will suggest a less known band/album by a band called Karmakanic, titled "Who's the Boss in the Factory?".
@@AstronautDownthank you so much for the recommendation Chris!
As soon as the Rhodes came in it made me giggle like a child. There's nothing quite like hearing a piece of music for the first time and you never disappoint. Thank you for this Chris.
love the 6/8 7/8 stuff, what a banger
omg this song, I waited to hear it in-game and I genuinely screamed when it started playing
This is the equivelant of nuking an ant hill in terms of video game soundtracks
Woaaaah I presaved on Bandcamp a few days ago even before this one came out. Mind blowing stuff!
Sadly couldn't make it for the premiere, but holy crap this song is absolutely legendary! I think this song settles it, RoR2 has my favorite game OST. Amazing job with this, Chris!
chris I love it when you put parts of your other songs in your songs like when i was listening to this song i could hear glimpses of some other ror ost but I couldnt figure it out for the life of me, until when i was half awake half sleeping on the bus and defecit of moisture started playing, after I woke up from my trans it just fucking clicked and it was so obvious then on but i love both songs even more for it now, thank you
I could listen to this song forever. That solo never, ever gets old
You've really outdone yourself with this damn sick guitar solo.
Hope you're doing fine after working so hard in each of these tracks, they really are breath-taking, so take a breath, king.
edit: just noticed the solo wasn't by you but either way the composition is peak.
