man this chat was toxic. Moreso than usual. Anytime sonic gets brought up especially, some people there are just so negative. glad to see you keep an open mind as always!
Geez we seriously need to ease the waters a bit because opinions often interferes with the plain and simple common sense, there are many simple ways to discuss anything without starting a mini war of nonsense. Because if we all like something it doesn't mean we have to meddle with the fun of others or their vision. (basically every time a fandom or individual gets involved in certain scenarios)
Some people just don't like Sonic. They don't even have a reason to not like him. They just... don't like him. Which is fine. Everyone has someone who hates them for no reason. If anyone says I'm wrong, they're lying through their teeth. Everyone has a hater.
@@emmanueldavis1872 at the end of the day most of the people in the chat just sound hella disingenuous on the song just because they don’t like sonic. I bet if this song had no ties with sonic the hedgehog the opinions would’ve been different
The lyrics are not emo; this is very much metalcore, like you said. These lyrics are inspirational and driven. Side note: KairuHakubi in your chat is an elitist. Just because they don't like genres of music doesn't make those genres bad, but they insist that Sonic music is "butt rock," which is demonstrably untrue. I would go so far as to call them a music grognard that has ivory tower syndrome.
he's been like that for *months*. unfortunately a pretty insufferable person when it comes to music opinions and tastes. has this weird hatred for anything sonic as well, anytime it gets brought up he goes out of his way to mention how terrible the franchise is
You're right, although it's more Heavy Metal and the lyrics sound very emo for some I don't understand that closed vision, I understand that the "emo's" are bitter but that the song is literally "there's no time for regrets, you're here and claim yours or be forgotten" as if it were a message to the decline of the franchise before 2022
I wouldn't go as far as calling them an elitist. They were just expressing their opinion about how Sonic music is not their thing, and they were very respectful for what I could see. Unless is something they do frequently, I don't see them as an elitist for disliking Sonic music.
@@zonikel---- Sonic music has always been about positivity and hope (aside from villain tracks like Infinite or Throw it all away), regardless of the literal tone of the music.
Sonic music has always gone everywhere in terms in genre, so it was really no surprise it would end up here at some point. That said, it doesn't stop the songs from going super hard all the same. P.S. Also, fuck chat haters.
The Sonic games have had a lot of rock music, ever since the late 90’s with Sonic Adventure. Although it’s never been quite as heavy as the Frontiers boss themes. This is the first Sonic soundtrack to feature the use of a 9 string guitar and you can really feel it in the music.
Sonic has an absolute ton of great tracks. From the same game there's "Break Through It All" (probably THE heaviest Sonic track ever) and "Find Your Flame" which is Nu Metal if I recall the genre correctly (basically rap+metal), while "Vandalize" (the ending theme) is more of a heartbreak song - not meant to hype you, but a beautiful track. "I'm Here" (main theme), I don't quite like it as much tbh but a lot of people adore it. Other than metal, Frontiers also has an absoutely incredible electronic music collection of just about every genre, from Trance to Drum n' Bass to LoFi, and some remixes get really experimental. Even the orchestral piano stuff is just beautiful. Outside of Frontiers, Sonic has a bunch of great tracks, but I strongly encourage you check out the Sonic Adventure games first. Very different vibe, also incredibly varried, jazz, hip hop, hair metal, industrial techno, the works. The most famous track to come out of there is definitely "Live and Learn". I could go on for ages, but really, take your time and enjoy them.
i don't get why people like mmak think dumb things like" this is 2006 emo" . like how is that even close. this song is amazing. people are dumb or like kairuhabubi. calling sonic music "buttrock". i hate people who think like this with a passion. sonic 100% has some of the best music in any gaming. no matter what the game is sonic music never fails. people like kairu suck.,
Sonic Frontiers had no right to go THIS hard but oh man was it a perfect fit for the bosses with Super Sonic! Absolutely love Find Your Flame as well! The Sonic franchise as always been going places with the soundtrack and I can wholeheartedly reccommend more Sonic OSTs because it's an all you can eat buffet of stellar guitar work, vocals, synths and mixes of genres. Also I don't know if people told you on stream, but this music is from the very first boss fight which you fight as Super Sonic. This is kind of a bigger deal because for many years 'Super Sonic' or Sonic's extra powerful form was always saved for the final boss as an epic show down. In Frontiers, the bosses are so big and powerful he doesn't even make a dent in them on his own, he HAS to use this supercharged form for every single boss. The revisited version of 'I'm Here' (the game's theme song) that was added in a free DLC is absolutely amazing and plays at the very end of the final boss. This DLC was notoriously difficult and has definitely become my go-to tune to listen to when I'm struggling with anything because man does it get the adrenaline going. Would love to see your reaction to it!
Oh YES! This song is great! 🤩 I have heard this awesome song first as a cover from ,,GO!! Light Up!", and then the original. Your reaction about it is great too. 4:25 😄
My experience with the word "emo" was a slang term, short for "emotional" in reference to depressed people or, specifically, people who were melodramatically depressed but didn't have to be and turned into into a trend and style somewhere between goth and punk where they wore a lot of black, had black hair often with bangs covering one of the eyes, always looked slouched and depressed and cynical and talked in melodramatic ways. But it was also a style that was similar, but not necessarily the same, and especially in music like with Linkin Park where it resonated with people of that style and nature even if the lyrics weren't exactly pessimistic. I'm guessing in this song maybe they mean because it seems "harcore" in that sense? I don't know. There's more to it than that, but I'm not qualified to explain it. As a Sonic fan, when I played this game, a lot of the music was calm piano music or trance depending on the environment you're playing in. But after exploring a whole island for an hour or 2, you come to a Godzilla sized enemy in order to complete the island and move on to the next one. It's a boss fight that requires Sonic to transform into something called Super Sonic, which is usually something that happens at the END of the games. But this time it was at the end of each island, which was a surprise. After the melodic music for hours, this song suddenly plays as soon as Sonic transforms to fight the titan (literally called a titan, named Giganto) with a lot of crazy flashy moves. The song is a just a bit more hardcore than we are used to even though we've heard some crazy stuff before. It usually shocks the player the first time and gets them pumped up for the fight. For context, Super Sonic is 3 feet in height, glowing yellow with his hair sticking up like a Super Saiyan if you know what that is, and flying super fast around this Godzilla sized alien made robot that looks like some kind of slender demon.
the chat is kind of insufferable in this video. especially the guys calling this "butt rock" . i can not STAND that as a term and its from people who just don't understand music. i don't understand how these people think. sonic songs, for the most part, go hard. sonic always nails music no matter the vibe they are trying to go for. some better than others but its always good. frontiers soundtrack is TOP tier
the music of sonic has always been exactly what that generation wanted to hear. As the sonic generation grew up most of us started to naturally gravitate towards rock and metal music, and the sonic franchise was happy to oblige getting progressively more towards that genre. Now the sonic generation are adults who are set in their ways of metal and it's associated sub-grenres. We have now arrived at the final form of sonic music.
I knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as you said the name of the track, watching your expression when the guitar kicked in was priceless. Cool vid, shame about the ignorant chat haters though. The tracks in Frontiers have maybe a touch of emo in the lyrical pitch, but otherwise they are about as far away from 2006's "I hate my life" emo as you can get. And I have no idea where that Kairu person was picking up "Butt rock" from.
The Game was only mid sadly, but the soundtrack is really awesome. You have the electronic music in the level and these super edgy rock (or metal, whatever :D) tracks in the boss fights and I love it :D If you haven't already, the Soundtrack of Sonic Adventure 2 is worth a listen aswell
@@Xanatrixit was enjoyable jank, best 3d sonic game in years. Still can go to fast and phase through walls or miss scripted events, Camera fails at points switching from 3d to 2d sections. There is a lot of small things that I could see cascading into negative opinions of the game. To me it needed more polish to say the game was great,but it was enjoyable.
@@Xanatrix I enjoyed playing it cause Sonic controls pretty well (most of the times) and the level design was not bad aswell. But the world looked like an unreal engine test game and was just really boring with no real artstyle. And yeah, like Keldiur said, it was the best 3D sonic game in years. Since Sonic Adventure 2 prbly (maybe generations if you wanna count that as a 3D sonic tho). I love Sonic, especially 3D Sonic and I just want it to become really great. A game in the quality of a mario odyssey for example. In the end I am just glad they didn't go for full boost gameplay again
@@Xanatrix Opinions exist bru and you can't force yourself to like something whether you think it's good or not. I for example liked moving around and combat while not technically impressive in any way was still enjoyable especially the Titans obviously but I HATED Cyberspace even the music in most of those levels were a turnoff for me. That along with Chaos Island being painfully annoying to navigate means a large chunk of the game was just not fun for me and it is what it is I also think the game was an overall ok rather than straight up good since it was inconsistent in quality
I beg to differ, this game was hella more entertaining than half the sonic experiences that dropped the last decade. Embracing mixed combat with open world exploration at top speed with sonic and there’s not as single game that Sega has dropped for the past 10 years that’s been received as positive. Yea it got bugs but aye
To put Sonic frontiers in a simple way is, "Freeflowing when it doesn't matter, sweet neutal when it kinda matters, full on hardware and accessories when it matters" IMO it doesn't matter for free roam so it's a mix between calm music and some nostalgic music, It's a pop like jazzy music during the "portal levels" and story based minigames and it's "hardware and accessories" during boss themes cause they hit everything, the sink, fridge, your baloney sandwich and your chips at once with a different flow to make you in the mode to just full fuckin SEND with whatever you're doing; and FUCK does it fit, each boss fight is a fight especially with the giant boss of each island with this song being the first major boss, "Giganto". Trust me, ignore people who say this game's music is "emo buttrock" this soundtrack has EVERYTHING, rap, rock, pop, it has everything a sonic fan should expect its tracks to have. Hell IMO of the major bosses Giganto is lowest on the list with the next boss's theme "Break through it all" being better since it's about you just taking a risk in a fight and fuckin going IN with it. Trust me, listen to "Break through it all" and look at its lyrics, it makes the song hit better.

You HAVE to listen to the other boss tracks from this game. They are ALL hardcore bangers.
Kellin Quinn is a gangster, sleeping with sirens lead singer🤘🏻
It sounds a bit like the DMC (2013) soundtrack. Devil May Cry has some awesome tracks.
You should definitely listen to “Bury The Light” from the Devil May Cry video games.
