This soundtrack came out alongside the game in 2013, at the peak of dubstep's popularity, which is why so many of the tracks are so wub-heavy. It's a testament to the compositions that this album is still considered to be 100% bangers 11 years later. Also, the lyrics to "Collective Consciousness" are *terrifyingly* prescient.
Of course they are. The systemic issues persist with the system. And in the 10 years since the song was made they became only more alarming and evident.
it also matches what senator armstrong plans to do or in other words his idea, or possibly what he thinks of the current situation. all the songs are relative to the characters views and feeling.
friendly reminder that the composer of this OST is also the composer of ToonTown's soundtrack, which was the only other "big" song project he'd worked on before this.
Rules of Nature : You’re fighting a building sized robot I’m My Own Master Now : you’re fighting a dog A Stranger I Remain : you are fighting a French person Stains of Time : you’re fighting a nihilist Red Sun : you’re fighting a bald Texan who uses a big pair of scissors The Only Thing I Know For Real : White Liberian vs Brazilian Samurai Collective Consciousness: You are fighting a robot the size of Times Square It Has To Be This Way : It’s you vs a Texan college ball player These are all canon to my knowledge
It Has to Be This Way A song about how Raiden and the final boss of the game have clashing philosophies pushing them. They acknowledge that each have good points but ultimately cannot come to any reconciliation and thus must fight knowing that neither of them have the best answer to fix the problems being experienced.
@@knightghaleon if you pay attention, Armstrong has no theme song. Collective Consciousness is how Raiden views Armstrong, and It Has To Be This Way is once again Raidens perspective
For Collective Consciousness, the base drum continues to be played at a fixed tempo the entire time. Almost like a metronome. Hypnotic. It also works with your militaristic ideas as i can be interpreted as marching.
@@SapunMan that version used to be my favorite, but i cannot find it anymore on youtube. I had it saved to a playlist, but it seems to have been privated :(
I love that you dont just give it a one-time listen, but instead rewind and reanalyze the entire track! As a long time Metal Gear Solid fan I really appreciate your analysis of one of my favorite video game soundtracks! 🙇
1:32:20 - That's right. Dark skies is one of the regular battle theme. You should listen rest of tham as Return to ashes and A soul can't be cut And don't forget to listen missed boss theme - The hot wind blowing. It's one of the best soundtrack in game. Boss of this theme was planned as boss in main storyline but it got cut and used as the only boss of one of two DLC
I love how fluid these songs are, as someone who has played this game multiple times its insane to me how well these songs match their bosses. Even to the point that the songs seem to match how each boss dies. Ray dies being overwhelmed by a greater predator, completely overwhelmed with Raiden's power Mistral's charm fails to work and she bites off more than she can chew when Raiden outwits her and uses her own weaponry to kill her, stopping her deadly rampage Monsoon seems to just give up, finally happy to be dead with a smile on his face, his ending is happier than the rest Sundowner dies as he lives, embodying the cruelty and hate of war and innocence, he meets his end violently and with a almost childlike glee, and for style points, being slashed in half like he did to so many others Sam dies still confused, he is a man of principle and will, having such a enormous amount of power despite not being augmented, yet he is bested by Raiden and their dance comes to a sudden and powerful end, completely destroying everything Sam believed in Khamsin dies believing and fulfilling his doctrine of Freedom, that any creature no matter how small being able to claw freedom and power to break the bonds of slavery is a "damn good mutt" Armstrong's 2 song fight is incredibly complex and masterful. From starting off as exactly the type of tyrant you expect him to be only so much worse. Then ripping away the facade to reveal the ultimately too human man overflowing with hope and ideals who is Raiden's equal in almost every measure. Both bleeding and tearing into each other hoping to create a brighter future for the one's they protect and trying to get humanity to evolve beyond its current ways. Their legendary fight though extremely close, with both giving it their everything, ends with Raiden metaphorically and literally shattering Armstrong's dream by ripping out his heart and crushing it. Showing that despite everything, despite Armstrong's ideals and words, his heart is too soft to really change anything and that he doesn't possess the true will and desire to do what must be done.
I love the way the music was handled in this game. Especially the fact that during boss fights the lyrics only start when the boss starts to take you more seriously. My favourite boss that does this is Sam because the first time you fight him he’s not even trying and easily beats you so there is no lyrics at all. But then at the end of the game during your 2nd fight with him his lyrics start immediately showing that’s unlike other bosses he is taking you seriously immediately and not holding back. Speaks a lot about his character too
It`s kind funny knowing that vocalist from The Only Thing I Know For Real liked the parody of said song so much that he sang it himself and dropped in on YT xD
I definetly recommend the credits song "The War Still Rages Within", the melangcholic theme is the perfect completion of the long journey the game offers you.
Man I'm glad I wasn't wrong that my favorite part is 20:20. That keyboard or whatever she used instrument entry was crazy, I was like WHAT?! While slicing Mistral into pieces 😅 A Stranger I Remain just became one of my favorite songs, along with Devil Trigger from Devil May Cry 5. I don't really listen to music. That says a lot. 😂 I love the Monsoon song too 27:28, but at the time I only hear Parry parry parry parry parry parry parry parry parry 😂
I hope you're going to react to "The War Still Rages Withing" too! It perfectly sums up the theme of the game. I can also recommend Geoffrey Day's cover of "The Only Thing I know For Real". He helped on the original soundtrack and even brings back a lot of other musicians who worked of the original song to create this heavier cover.
That face you do while listening to rules of nature is the actual need inside of you of going out to some workout by the sheer energy the song injects into your brain "Out here only the strong survives"
idk if anyone said so n u caught itwhile this was streaming but the composer for this previously did toontown online, so, pretty insane difference there xD
imagine a fan of soundtracks, games, visuals, action, when playing and all of this being injected at once... It's a lot of adrenaline with a lot of appreciation for every second 😅
Since no one has said it and I understand your policy on not having time to play games just for the music, I’ll just explain here: That big break in Rules of Nature is synced up to play right as you begin a quick time event where Raiden parries a sword the size of a city block, and continues over the playable cutscene so it ends right as the boss dies. MGR’s ost has many cool cues that loop parts and sync during pivotal moments in the boss fights. Tbh though it could easily be understood from simply watching a playthrough of any one boss fight to get the idea, for anyone who does want to check it out.
To add onto this, the fights take place in multiple phases where the boss' moveset and the state of the arena changes, and the music is designed to follow the changes in each one. The boss fights start with the instrumental version of their respective track, and when the second phase of the fight kicks in, so do the lyrics of the song.
As great as every single track is, Collective Consciousness might also be my favorite lol. I love the demo version too which sounds very different but also awesome, much lighter on the wubstep with different lyrics and more abrasive vocals. Stains of Time might be tied with it for me.
I love watchng musicions react to music cause I could not tell if he still liked Collective Consciousness during the song just by looking at his face lmao. Ive almost began to learn by watching various other musicion reactors
I love the time you gave to analyize a stranger i remain. I feel like of the boss themes it often gets overlooked but i feel it has some of the most interesting musical elements
I think it should also be noted that the reason that the rules of nature part is rewound so much is because in the game you’re fighting a giant skyscraper sized robot and you block his sword and run up the sword that is also the size of a building and right when the block happens is whenever they scream rules of nature
It’s so funny when you said the songthe vocals sounds like national anthem, because this song start playing when Riden is fight actual America Senator Armstrong
A Stranger I Remain is my favorite track in the game. Also, what does most of these songs justice is how they are dynamically implemented during the fight phases. Pure Hype!
"It has to be this way"...still is my favorite cause when u play the game and get to that point u would understand it better( story wise) and its just feels awesome listening to it while kicking the last boss ass in the game
I've listened to the Wheelchair Sam version of "The Only Thing I Know for Real", which ended up getting covered by the original singer, so much that I was confused at first hearing the actual lyrics.
One of my favorite details is in the beginning of collective consciousness where it sounds like the orchestra/band is booting up, just like the giant mecha that is currently booting up to battle with you. (also underlined by that electric sound getting higher pitched in the background.)
I remember buying the PS3 disc in 2014 and playing it for like 20 minutes...still not understanding the parry system...and grinding through the first level or two. That soundtrack summoned my younger and now dormant 'Beavis and Butthead' self- and it was an F'ing awesome soundtrack! For some reason I didn't play or finish the game, and just picked it up again recently to play through. It was one of the only games that had that kind of soundtrack that phased in with the gameplay!
whats cool is that all the boss musics before this have been all related to the bosses, but it has to be this way is raidens song and his active struggles and mindset, through all hes been through in his past and the current situation in revengeance
I remember this game i first played when it came out on the Playstation 3, remember about 94% of the trophies completed. Gameplay was more insane than the actual soundtrack.
Id love a Hot wind blowing then give a relisten to I'm my own master now compare and contrast. They share thematic elements musically while lyrically are about almost the exact opposite
The instruments used in each song sorta sounds like the weapons thet use, Mistral's polearm sounds like the piano part, Monsoon hits the fastest, Sundowner hits the hardest and Sam's hits echo just like the flute
I can't decide if I like The Stains of Time or It Has to Be This Way more... Also, it was probably pointed out before, but the songs are not only boss themes, but they're basically sung from the perspective of their respective bosses. Collective Consciousness and It Has to Be This Way are used for one character, and the difference between them reflects what we learn about them in-between their respective boss fights.
for context this game is basically half game half movie with like 2-3 hours of total cutscenes and heavily scripted outcomes accompanying almost every second being in battle so the music style fits it very well
In the game these boss themes are usually only instrumental until the vocals come in at a specific part of the fight (or sometimes other way around), which I think is really cool

@@LionmightOfficial well if you ever want to play one of the games ever made I recommend mgr
I won't.
@@LionmightOfficial ok ok... why tho?
@@juliuskarki204 I'm sure you are passionate about the games you like, but I am not.
Collective Conciousness is so fucking good man.
I love that he talks about it getting more into actual metal and the next 2 songs happen to be stains of time and red sun.
I remember this game i first played when it came out on the Playstation 3, remember about 94% of the trophies completed. Gameplay was more insane than the actual soundtrack.
A stranger I remain is probably one of my top favorite boss themes Ive ever heard.
Might as well watch all the boss fights to see how the themes are implemented, which is excellently.
Not interested
@@LionmightOfficial :(, but sure. Such a forward answer is rare to see though, have a nice day!

14:21 It's a cybernetic Wolfz ;D of battle
bro the only thing i know for real is insane. this song explains your destiny and time to fight those who hurt you!
Id love a Hot wind blowing then give a relisten to I'm my own master now compare and contrast. They share thematic elements musically while lyrically are about almost the exact opposite
You have no idea how happy I was when he said It Has to Be This Way reminded him of Bury the Light
The instruments used in each song sorta sounds like the weapons thet use, Mistral's polearm sounds like the piano part, Monsoon hits the fastest, Sundowner hits the hardest and Sam's hits echo just like the flute
I can't decide if I like The Stains of Time or It Has to Be This Way more... Also, it was probably pointed out before, but the songs are not only boss themes, but they're basically sung from the perspective of their respective bosses. Collective Consciousness and It Has to Be This Way are used for one character, and the difference between them reflects what we learn about them in-between their respective boss fights.
second youtuber who has recently and unexpectedly reacted to mgrr, this is amazing
Are you talking about definitely not definitive? If so yeah both unexpected lol
@@eligozdiff5038 yup
for context this game is basically half game half movie with like 2-3 hours of total cutscenes and heavily scripted outcomes accompanying almost every second being in battle
so the music style fits it very well
Playing the game to experience the music is completely different! And I mean it HITS diffrent, you have my word
22:47 - By the way there's words on french that translates like that: "I'm getting a fever. The creaking of the boat won't let me sleep"
4:15 i really love this short section.
I like how through all this the chat is just quoting maxor
Every time a song starts, the 👀 just gets me
one soundtrack sugestion is the Sonic Frontiers OST, its very diverse and has amazing metal core boss battles themes featuring kellin quinn
🤟"Wash away the anger!!!"🤟
I remember the fury when I failed to destroy helicopters in blade mode and had to relisten "Wash away the anger" 40 times :D
Now i wanna hear Electric Callboy cover this ost
My legs are broken, the kneecaps are stolen
I"M FOREVER BOUND TO A CHAIR!
Im half quadriplegic, that means Paralegic I CAN'T SEEM TO FEEL MY LEEEEGS
A DESOLATE LIFE!(Life)
I CAN'T PLEASE MY WIFE (wife)
You shold listen to the Forever Winter music, game by Fun Dog Studios, certified bangers for sure!
Can you do Viego champion theme, and pyke champion theme?
"Let's listen to it a little bit more again"
-Me after listenign to this song for hours on repeat
Btw, in game you hear the music without the vocals but the appear in the most epic part of the battle
In the game these boss themes are usually only instrumental until the vocals come in at a specific part of the fight (or sometimes other way around), which I think is really cool
Now this is music worth listening to! Love the Metal Gear Rising soundtrack!
collective consciousness is also played when fighting a politician in a giant death laser robot
