Super Metroid's is like you're traversing ancient ruins, finding shreds of culture left behind a millennium ago. Prime 2's is total submersion. Water so deep there's no natural light. It has an ebb and flow to it, a back and forth. Samus Returns' is much more adventurous. Adventurous but not without trepidation. Trepidation but not without determination. Dreads is plodding, but very serious. The flute-like instrument gives a sense of training and patience, and those two ever present low background notes punctuate the dread.
best track in dread. the dread soundtrack isn’t “bad” per se, there are a few bangers (the later part of artaria for example), but most of it just sounds like a movie soundtrack. not really sure why they went with that, when they very clearly know the vibe that suits metroid (and clearly they still know, since they used lower brinstar for the final plot resolution of the game).
@@samus-alita4252 i like ferenia too. idk it’s weird, maybe it’s the instrumentation. i like quite a few of the tracks in principle, but they just don’t catch in my brain. dread is obviously very fusion-esque in many ways, including the music, but unlike dread, i find the fusion soundtrack legitimately catchy.
The main problem with Metroid Dread's music is clearly stated in the developers' reports: they stated their intentions were to create atmospheric musics in order for the player to feel fully immersed in the ambiance of the game. A noble approach, I'll admit. But the best Metroid musics don't try to create an atmosphere. They tell a story.
Metroid will always be one of my favorite Sci Fi universes. I think Metroid handles the idea of "mysterious and hostile alien environment" the best. It has you scanning this unfamiliar planet and its occupants to better adjust and prepare for the threats. All the while even the environment is filled with hazards and mysteries. Grow too comfortable in the unknown and it could lead to death. The music conveys this feeling in themes like this. Mysterious, dangerous, and alien.
@@andreasklein525 Well I for one don’t want too many remixes of older tracks. Maybe have 1 or 2 previous tracks remixed like Maridia so it still has new and fresh music.
If Kenji Yamamoto is in charge, then we have nothing to worry about. But if someone else is the composer, then we’ll end up with forgettable tracks like Returns and Dread. 🤷♂️
I overdosed years ago and Lower Brinstar was what my brain was singing in my head when I miraculously awoke after 4 days of no signs of activity. They were gonna let me go. I remember the nurse walking by my room and then coming back when she noticed my eyes open, she yelled at me to keep my eyes open and ran for the doctor. This song means so much to me. I call it my theme because its first thing I was aware of when I opened my eyes and it kept me calm from waking with a tube down my throat. I always look up various versions when depression comes and this song reminds me that my mission on this earth isn't done yet. Samus is one of my idols. Now I work in the education and the mental health fields, to prevent our youth from going into addiction and to help others come out from the darkness of addiction.
I listen to the dread variant to go to sleep. It's just so peaceful and relaxing...and I love it! It's super iconic, I'm glad it's been represented many times in the series.
What i fell about Dread soundtrack is that they did it for a symbiosis whith the frenectic gameplay. Samus is faster then never, she's fluid and quick and do so many things at the same time and the music goes together. It is a good soundtrack but i really miss the fact of stop playing and just apreciate how the music combine with the graphics. It's awesome how we fell inside Brinstar when "Green Brinstar" starts playing or we fell the cold of Phendranna Drifts because the music. I don't fell this felling on Dread but is also a good soundtrack, it runs with the game purpose.
it never really crossed my mind to compare torvus bog to brinstar because it feels like they capture completely different feelings to me the former is just straight up probably the best bgm in all of metroid
Really says something about this track that everyone’s favorite is different. My favorite is personally Dread, but I’ve seen people who favor Super Metroid, Echoes, and Returns.
@@DazedAlligator SNES version doesn't have the the atmosphere and ambiance that the Prime 2 version has, which is what makes it hands down the best. Sure, SNES version has nostalgia, but nostalgia simply isn't enough.
I remember one of my friends once showed me that this same Metroid theme was remixed for I think either paper mario or mario RPG, I forget which one. and BTW, Prime 2 is my favorite rendition.
Brinstar Red is too short to appreciate this original song. Super Metroid had to receive a Remake giving more prominence to this area. "Red Tower" is only remembered for this song.
Super Metroid is my favorite. Not only because it is the original, but because it's the one that started it all. And the fact that Super Metroid is my favorite Metroid game of all time, even the Super Nintendo console. Yes, I like Super Metroid much better than Metroid Dread.
Whenever I think about this song it's always the torvus bog version. That's the version that sticks with me the most. However the dread version is also incredibly good
Samus returns ver definitely wins when it comes to exploring a new area but the rest are just pure fucking magic specially Dreads and of couse supers where it originated from
Super Metroids version is the best imo. It’s so… mysterious and almost seductive in a way. You could almost play it in the background at a dinner party. 😂 (Edit) I may have commented to early, Samus Returns is also AMAZING, this track in general is legitimately an all around seductive style.
I've been lied to! This isn't "Lower Norfair", the theme is typically called "Red Brinstar" in Super Metroid! "Lower Norfair" is the theme that plays in LOWER NORFAIR; the place UNDERNEATH NORFAIR.
The only problem I have is that the music of Brinstar should only be played when you’re at Brinstar on Zebes. That’s why I never understood why Magmoor Caverns in Prime has the epic music of Lower Norfair. That music will forever be Ridley’s Lair.
@@LicoriceLain Fair enough. Although I feel that they should’ve created all new tunes that evoke the same feeling. Super Metroid didn’t use any of the original Metroid tunes except for the title screen.
@@mattias4665 Super Metroid was also only 3 years after 2. Almost an entire decade went by between Super Metroid and Prime (and that is on top of Prime getting close to two decades away from the first game). The composer was probably getting nostalgic.
For me, it’s between Samus Returns and Prime 2. Super Metroid set the foundation and dread doesn’t hit the mark for me. But IMO, dread’s soundtrack is very fitting for the game. I think the criticism is unneeded
Every remix is something "new and fresh" but loses it's overall essence of the original. How many times can you make a copy of the first copy and recognize the original? Modernity is the attemp to capitalize on quality but only craps quantity.

my gosh, Super Metroid was way ahead of that time, the music still sound amazing and will continue.
Pretty sure the Super Metroid/Prime 2 OSTs were composed by the same guy.
@nillynush4899 really!? That's awesome, I hope Nintendo released MP2 remastered cause I have never played that game.
@thesmoker2118 Indeed, the game is a masterpiece, I have beaten it many times, and when I start a new game it feels like the first time XD

Underrated comment
Metroid Prime 2 is my favorite version of it.
Same
Yes!! That one sent me on a trip when it 1st came out
This is a certefied metroid classic
I like Echoes the most. It just sounds very good. I cant explain why, but it has something that just feels like Brinstar.
Its also the most dynamic and ambient
It makes you feel like floating in deep space, Torvus Bog is my favorite version of this
Only problem: It’s not Brinstar. Just like Magmor Caverns isn’t lower Norfair.
Super Metroids version is by far the best. Love the piano part towards the end too.
Echoes was way better.
It's all about personal taste. To me SNES version is the best.
I prefer the MP2 version, myself
@@jakehildebrand1824the original in my opinion is better but echoes comes very close
@@Abrahamplatinum I remember I used to go down into the Torvus Bog lower aquachamber just to sit there and get lost in the music.
I can see myself floating around Torvus Bog as I speak…
As can I
I can see myself...GETTING KILLED BY THE GODDAMN ALPHA BLOGG AGAIN!

One word "Budget." Now that Metroid Dread is a successful game the next should a bigger budget for better music.
Ferenia imo stands out as one of the better Dread tracks
@@samus-alita4252 i like ferenia too. idk it’s weird, maybe it’s the instrumentation. i like quite a few of the tracks in principle, but they just don’t catch in my brain. dread is obviously very fusion-esque in many ways, including the music, but unlike dread, i find the fusion soundtrack legitimately catchy.
Honestly I’m fine with the soundtrack cause all the boss themes are bangers, and they are my favorites in the series.

They tell a story.
Super Metroid Rules.. that sony sound chip was great in the snes.
Metroid games will not be complete without this iconic theme. ❤
Indeed
Also hai

Oh the ost for prime 4 is going to be such a banger
Would it be too much asked for the levels of Super, Prime 1 & 2 music ?
@@andreasklein525 Well I for one don’t want too many remixes of older tracks. Maybe have 1 or 2 previous tracks remixed like Maridia so it still has new and fresh music.
@@ExtremeAce i didnt mean specific tracks in those games. I meant the awesomeness of music in those games
@@andreasklein525 Ohhhh my bad. Ofc yeah I'd love to have music on par with those games.
If Kenji Yamamoto is in charge, then we have nothing to worry about. But if someone else is the composer, then we’ll end up with forgettable tracks like Returns and Dread. 🤷♂️
I like the samus returns version the most
Samus returns imo had a great soundtrack but mp2s version is still my favorite
Prime 2 did something right.

Samus returns is by far the best version, its kinda curious how area 5 is sow intense and has this calm music
This guy right here has great taste ❤️🔥
Samus Returns 👌🏻🎵🎶

A channel dedicated to the evolution in game music ?
Wth where have you been !
They all sound great, but to me, the SNES Super Metroid Lower Brinstar VGM is truly iconic!!
The SNES is clearly the best version, and setting the tone for Metroid music to this day. Classic material.
Nah man, Prime 2 version is vastly superior.

without a doubt the best soundtrack in the franchise
agree!

Sounds like you’re treading through old ruins of an ancient civilization lost to time.
Supers is so beautiful u can tell the Japanese don’t play around

Sorry, but no version will top the SNES version.
Prime 2 is superb. The 3ds and switch ones are meh.
I absolutely adore the 3ds one lol
