I don't usually comment on these because I've got little to no knowledge on the subject of music composition, but I gotta say the visuals you make have always helped keep my attention and make things more understandable to me, even if I don't *really* get what you're talking about on a more technical level. These videos are great because they're enjoyable despite my complete lack of knowledge.
Metallic Madness is easily the most satisfying stage in Sonic CD to get a good future on. You have to fight your way through hell and back, but man being greated by those opening chords in the good future makes it all the worth.
Something I noticed and liked is that in the Present mix, the piano rhythm at 0:03 after those opening orch hits is extremely similar to the opening of Palmtree Panic's Bad Future. In other words, it's like the potential bad future that we were given a glimpse of at the start of the game is now currently happening in full force, and it's our job to go undo it now.
16:52 - Something I noticed that follows this idea is the intro for MM Present (US) uses power chords of the root and 5th the entire time, leaving out the 3rd to give it an ambiguous mood, setting up an uncertain future.
Yeah for sure. I love how they even made titanic monarch apart of metallic madness. As it was supposed to be final fever. It gives a whole lot of world building and detail that people don’t often appreciate
A fun little thing I noticed about Mania's Metallic Madness act 2, it uses a synth found in CD's US soundtrack! During the funky saxophone solo and right after the eggman rap section, Mania uses the choppy/static-y synth that is used in the background of the US track for Metallic Madness Good Future. I think that is pretty neat.
I'm pretty sure both soundtracks use the same basic synths because both our based entirely around samples loops live samples taking from synths and cds keyboards etc
@Brady-d3f While they might both use similar synths, they're definitely not exactly the same. The best example is the drums, which in the JP soundtrack is made by Roland drum machines, while in the US soundtrack its an Alesis (and some live recordings). Not to mention that the US soundtrack focuses more on live recorded instruments like the guitar, the bongos and some other percussion instruments, and the vocalists. The US soundtrack using synths is more special than the JP soundtrack because the US soundtrack uses synths much less than the JP soundtrack.
I don't think it's the same; Metallic Madness US tracks are filled by the Korg Wavestation and 01/W sounds, while Tee Lopes uses the M1 and Monopoly He also doesn't sample songs directly often, so it could just be a similar patch
Since last time i watched your channel, i learned music theory. I actually know what you're talking about now. Probably a good idea to rewatch the other ones too
@IkinBBfromAnthologyOfTheKiller so glad to hear this! Yeah, my videos work great as an introduction to theory, and then once you return with an overall grasp of music thoery fundamentals from a course etc., you'll now be able to watch the videos and make new connections/observations, to take things to the next level!
5:19 to add to the 90's-ness of those piano stabs, the sample played just before them seems to be sampled from a 90s sample cd Zero-G Datafile 2, in particular track 58
Best Christmas Eve present EVER! Always interesting to see the different time periods of metallic madness, because it’s the only stage Robotnik owns since he *built* it. It’s HIS stage, HIS base. He owns it, it was always HIS, we can only take it away by getting a good future, with a bad future showing that even his own base, which he built and designed, is not safe from his wasteful and cruel actions, with it looking as if it will all fall apart with exposed wires, worn lighting, the background of the second act is almost entirely dark like the power is fluctuating or failing, and everything is coated with a layer of sickly, brown rust. (Plus, just how LARGE is metallic madness? That background looks like it may go on and on forever and forever, just like the metal shell which Eggman has trapped little planet beneath)
Always enjoy seeing you give some attention to the US soundtracks. The 3 US Metallic Madness songs are some of my favorite Sonic songs ever, funnily enough. Similarly to Stardust Speedway, it feels like each soundtrack for this level was based off one one word in the name Metallic Madness; The US soundtrack takes the word “metallic” and the Japanese soundtrack takes the word “madness.”
@@ZanyCat The text overextends the sign and isn’t formatted correctly since it’s a fan-made sign. If Sega made this, they would likely make the text smaller to fit the sign plate.
You definitely missed onto A LOT by omitting the other changes in the USA soundtrack, such as the intro, or how the good and bad future are mutually exclusive remixes of the present which mashes the two together into one
The lack of the CD button in the elevator always annoyed me. Mania is the fifth game in that style, not the fourth. Not acknowledging CD in the marketing was an affront. If anything, the "K" was unnecessary since it represents the second half of the same game.
Especially so, since Sonic CD is kinda the reason Mania exists in the first place. If not for Christian Whitehead making a proof of concept for his Sonic CD remake and convincing Sega to publish it, we might've never seen him or his fellow developers work with Sega on future projects.
I's so weird, I was recently re-listening too all the Metallic Madness songs (as well as the Mania versions) for the past 2 weeks and this pops up. Amazing video!
this video is very welcome! Sonic CD is truly one of my favorite video game OSTs of all time. here's my own personal suggestions for future videos! *possibly a series on 3D Blast's OST. Jun Senoue's work on the Genesis OST carried over and influenced Sonic Adventure, while Richard Jacques' tracks for the Saturn OST feel like a nice middle point between CD and R. *maybe a video covering the recently released Antonblast. its soundtrack being composed by an one man band (Tony Grayson, also the director of the game and voice actor of titular Dynamite Anton), pulls great inspiration from games like Sonic Mania, Adventure, or even at points Crash Bandicoot and Wario Land 4! my personal favorite track is the one heard in the second half of Bomb Candy Mines.
While I still prefer the JP originals, I think the Metallic Madness tracks are easily the most cohesive and deliberate sounding of the US soundtrack, all clearly setting the tone of their time periods and not just being 3 cool songs in a vacuum.

Sonic CD means so much to me, and your music theory videos have continued to show me a whole new dimension of this amazing game to appreciate. Anyone with a soul knows that the music rocks, but a keen ear like yours and the way you explain things so succintly helps highlight just how much thought and care was put into this soundtrack, and how it weaves into the gameplay and art direction to tell the game's story.
Me (a person with no knowledge of music theory whatsoever) listening to alex explain complex music terminology: mhm yeah yup yep definitely i understand completely
9:19 Seeing that Present Sign show up is such a fever dream to me since it was the result of a request I made on Gamebanana. Too bad the mod hasn’t been updated for the latest version of the decomp.
Another great video! I think I'm finally beginning to understand the concept of chords. And I love the Pac-Man reference. A delightful stocking stuffer! (I had to put some form of Christmas reference in here)
Not only are these a great educational tool (been teaching my GF bits about music through 'em,) but I've finally learned how to pronounce Calliope! For years, I've been saying it wrong. Really happy to see ya back on Sonic CD!
This was a great watch to start my winter break! There Palmtree Panic left and then if you're doing it zone by zone, I'd suggest Sonic 3D Blast. Happy holidays!
I know nothing about music from a technical standpoint, and I have never been able to read or play music. I do really appreciate the content you're putting out though as I'm learning a lot about things I've heard about in Sonic music but couldn't process on my own.
I personally really like sonic cd shame so many people don’t understand it, considering that this game is better played going to the past and go get the generators once you destroyed them go to the special stages it’s a nice loop and the levels design isn’t about point A to point B like start to goal
Wow. All I can say is wow, that was perfect, unreasonably perfect, just like the feeling you get from the uplifting and yet calming good future theme. What a strong finish to my favourite Sonic game.
One thing worth noting with Sonic CD's soundtrack is Ogata's compositions borrow pretty liberally from 808 State's ex:el album, although rewrked to fit with the msical motifs of the game
@@AlexYardZone Elements of Nephatiti are similar to the breakdown in Metallic Madness Bad Future Lift pretty much provides the whole foundation of Collision Chaos. You'll hear elements of past, future, and present throughout the whole song. And then the section starting from 2:26 inspires the Little Garden theme (which also lifts from Pacific State, another 808 state song) Just like with Lift, Empire is the foundation of Tidal Tempest. Again, elements of all three acts are all over it, especially the past (it even sounds like Aquatic Ruins at points) Cubik has been covered before, but yeah, the main melody is similar to Metallic Madness Lambrusco is vaguely smiliar to Metallic Madness' various acts...and maybe Wacky Workbench too. In general, Hataya was a lot more subtle about the elements he borrowed compared to Ogata. Olympic is similar to Metallic Madness and Wacky Workbench's good future acts Techno Ball shares some similarities with Wacky Workbench particularly the past, though this might be a reach on my part lmao. It's also similar to Stardust Speedway Present and Metallic Madness Bad Future in parts - again, the more subtle lifts on Hataya's part. Also, San Fransico has a melody very similar to Emerald Hill Zone funnily enough lmao. Maybe that album was just popular in the Sega offices in 91/92
@funkdoc1112 I listened to 2 versions of Lift, the only thing there was the sonic chaos character select melody, which was rectified in subsequent port(s) of the game. There aren't any sonic CD melodies/elements in Lift, though.
@@AlexYardZone Not direct melodies for sure, but the general progression and elements of Lift are extremely similar and no doubt at least provided a template for the Collision Chaos acts - the beginning with the pianos is a lot like Good Future and the bouncy little melody throughout also sharing similarities with CC. It's not a direct copy like Kenji Yamamoto was always doing, but it's definitiely a reworking - the type of thing that Marvin Gaye's greedy estate would pounce on, lol
@funkdoc1112 I don't agree with that, and your choice of words is too vague to make a point. the fact that you didn't call out the sonic chaos melody that is in Lift makes it seem like you're trolling
Riddle me this. Do they call it Sonic CD because of its feature on the Compact Disk? Or is it for the fact that the Bad and Good Futures in the level select are signified with C and D, showing the player the choice of outcome in the title. Hmm?
I appreciate that the US soundtrack (or prototype/origins in the case of sonic 3) gets attention in these videos. they are officially vetted interpretations of the same levels, after all
My TH-cam Music must have been priming me for this because remixes for this zone have been popping up for me a ton lately while at work, so it's been on my mind lately. Lez fuggin go.
When i was younger, I thought metallic madness was like, everything going againts me for getting rid of metal sonic, considering the name and how wild the music went (I luckily played jp)
Lol. He just hates Toby. I've made my peace with it, so should you. Yes he was outright cruel to him for what barely even was a homage, we should politely ask him to do a real SoJ analysis and move on, imo.
Sonic dead or alive is mine
(You can't do anything, so don't even try. Don't do what sonic does)
@Loafoftime You forgot “get some help”
@@vaporcranberries Knew i was missing something
That should have been a line of metal sonic

I could never get tired of watching Sonic cd music theories no matter how many times I've watched them
WE’RE SO BACK
but it is over 😔
Great music theory video, as always. I'm excited because now we only have one zone to go before the Sonic CD set is complete: Palmtree Panic
Having a new upload is essentially an early Christmas gift
I won't be asking for a present next year thanks to this upload
16:52 - Something I noticed that follows this idea is the intro for MM Present (US) uses power chords of the root and 5th the entire time, leaving out the 3rd to give it an ambiguous mood, setting up an uncertain future.
Metallic Madness music goes so hard and it’s why I’m glad of all the other levels to reincorporate in Mania, it was this one
Yeah for sure. I love how they even made titanic monarch apart of metallic madness. As it was supposed to be final fever. It gives a whole lot of world building and detail that people don’t often appreciate

Metallic Madness has some of my favorite songs in the JP OST, Glad to see you finally dissect these themes.

Similarly to Stardust Speedway, it feels like each soundtrack for this level was based off one one word in the name Metallic Madness; The US soundtrack takes the word “metallic” and the Japanese soundtrack takes the word “madness.”

This tracks are peak 90's
In two ways! JP is very new jack swing/acid house and US is very new age/alt rock.
"don't get cut" tell that to Dubious Depths

15:22 Hol' up! I did NOT catch that little tune! Sonic music is the BEST
The chords on the solo in the present are truly what help make it the best solo sonic music history
