My team and I are rereleasing old videos that I've unlisted on my main channel right here on this channel. If you're subscribed to my main channel (Xem), make sure you're subscribed! You might be watching this without even realizing you're not subbed right now
@@Bored-ov7jf The easiest way to put it is like this: A channel with a million subs, in theory, has videos that are up to the quality of what you'd expect from a 1 million sub channel. My older videos were not up to that quality. Having a lot of content is ok, having some high quality content is ok. My team and I want a lot of high quality content on our main channel :) This channel will always be around for unedited, more relaxed content. Variety's the spice, baby
I really miss when R&C OSTs had groovy beats and cool mixing. It's a shame that the newer R&C games have resorted to the typical kiddy "let's save the world" epic orchestral soundtracks that are forgettable AF
@@josephfox7068man i cant believe i just want to answer the similar that you write on the same day for a one year old comment 😀 i play again rift apart last week and i just surprised it had a really good ost. Its just the time what made it special or idk but it sounds very good
My ABSOLUTE fave pieces of music in this game HAVE to be Rilgar, Aridia's swingshot section and Drek's boss theme. Rilgar is so dramatic and intense plus with that opening shot of the level... ICONIC! The Aridia swingshot section is so fantastical and really "pretty" I don't know why I like it as much as I do but I always have. Drek's boss theme is THE jam though! It really does feel like a dramatic final boss theme and really emphasises the high stakes at play... also makes a great victory track during the credits too! Will give Kerwan its praises though... catchy af and super memorable.
@@maestrofeli4259 Definitely! I think it works well with the area too. I wasn't as big of a fan when they reused it for the Kalebo grindrail section though.
I feel like this is the fifth time I watched the same music tier list. And I still love it. btw, have you heard the remastered stereo soundtrack? it's pretty amazing
I just finished yet another casual playthrough of RAC1 so this video appearing on my recommended is quite timely! I appreciate the little bits of music theory that you add in without it being too overwhelming! Agree that SS songs are ones you show to your mates, I just recommended gemlik, novalis, aridia and kerwan recently to a friend 😎 I’ve watched some of your other vids on your main channel and I just gotta say keep up the good work Xem, really enjoying your content!
Ayy thanks for posting this I love these OST tier lists, wish you’d do them more. I’d even like to see your opinion on other game series, Sly would be sweet! Btw, Saving Skidd and Poki Sewers are SS
58:15 I think Velding and Pokitaru push eachother up. The contrast between ratchets home planet and the planet he dreamed of is a really good point in the story. What he thought would be a paradise is actually just as bad as home with the invasion and dangerous creatures all over the planet.
You know it's an absolute unit when just hearing it can make you remember the first time you heard, Rachet doing that small little shuffle forward at the start of every single landing.. and you hear one of those bops as he does.
aridia's outpost and the skidd theme are my favorites in the game by miles. i love those tracks so much, they can calm me down and put me in an upbeat mood
*Listening to entire Ratchet and Clank OST* Friend: "Hey, what you listening to?" Me: "Oh, just my favourite album." Friend: "Oh yeah, what's that then?" Me: "It's... complicated."
One of my top 3 favorite game soundtracks ever. It's ridiculous. So fun to see your head being blown by it! Especially the front half is loaded with great main themes. Novalis, Kerwan, Aridia, Eudora, Umbris. But i would say it's more 90s electronica influenced than hip hop. More so it pulls from rave, jungle and trip hop, but to be fair lot of those styles are essentially based on hip hop beats. It's just lot more complex and often faster.

The incomprehensible vocal part on the Umbris soundtrack IS the Umbris soundtrack.
16:03 "It insists upon itself" But seriously, this was a pleasure to watch, besides when Eudora was placed in S rather than SS and then moved down to A despite being the best song on the soundtrack
12:15 I think I'd go for Gemlik Base, if I had to pick only one. Kerwan is a solid second though, bc it's unquestionably the most iconic, recognizable, nostalgic, yadda yadda Also, Kerwan is kinda biased - as is Rilgar - bc of the PS2 demo that came out with those two levels tier 1: Gemlik, Kerwan tier 2 (not in particular order): Veldin, Gaspar, Rilgar, Novalis)
I actually put the (first 40~ seconds of) Aridia's Fortress music up there as one of the quintessential R&C1 tracks, just after the likes of Metropolis and Blackwater City. Possibly cause like you said it's the music that plays with the demo clip if you stay on the startup screen. That said it does really meander after the start.
Rilgar does match the theme of the planet. Yes you start in the sewer, but in the distance there is an epic night city. it conveys the seriousness of the environment quite well IMO
It’s a tragedy that you skipped the B section of Veldin 2. That song is carried hard by that section, where it goes into a form of Dubstep before dubstep was ever a thing. Easy S to SS tier for me
The only criticism I could give the Qwark dogfight song is that it's a bit out of place with the rest of the game, and that you can't really hear it in game. But my god that song is amazing, shame you placed it so low.
F Tier tier list for: Gaspar and Blarg not being in S+, Kalebo not being in S, and Eudora not being in A+. Oh yeah, Gemlik and Rilgar are massively overrated too. Jk this is a solid tier list, I can’t hate your placements because they aren’t bad. Music is subjective at the end of the day
I will say. I disagree a lot with the Rilgar rising water track. I remember the horror and stress of the event. Literally no recognition for the music. That and it's just not that unique or particularly fitting. C tier

This dude is wearing a mask in a room alone by himself. Pathetic.
@@billwoods7578 it could be comfortable, get over yourself
The soundtrack that began everything and still one of the best in the series.
THE best
One of the best soundtracks in gaming, period. David Bergeaud is a musical genius.
At least once in my life I want to meet David Bergeaud and thank him the f out for R&C music. Absolute legend.
I really miss when R&C OSTs had groovy beats and cool mixing. It's a shame that the newer R&C games have resorted to the typical kiddy "let's save the world" epic orchestral soundtracks that are forgettable AF
Rift apart had SOME stand out tracks, like blizar prime'd and ready.

novalis being so good that you just had to put in that second earbud is so valid 😭😭
I really like these vids!
Your reenactment of a 10 year olds first experience with the warship self destruct sequence was spot on, that is definitely exactly how it was for me.

the aridia "traversing through the fortress" theme has a very whimsical and fairytale feel to it. I like it.

Just hearing this soundtrack, I can picture and hear EVERYTHING that is in the level. I played these games way too much as a child.
Ayy thanks for posting this I love these OST tier lists, wish you’d do them more. I’d even like to see your opinion on other game series, Sly would be sweet!
Btw, Saving Skidd and Poki Sewers are SS
Some days I love going back and remembering what xem did for the community
i think about it a lot too tbh
it feels hard to feel like i did "more" many years ago
but what can be done once can always be done again and better!
Veldin being this low is a good eaxemple of anchoring bias.
58:15 I think Velding and Pokitaru push eachother up. The contrast between ratchets home planet and the planet he dreamed of is a really good point in the story. What he thought would be a paradise is actually just as bad as home with the invasion and dangerous creatures all over the planet.
Here rewarching this. Thanks again for deciding to repost this, Xem.
My fav tracks are Veldin (Intro), Aradia (normal and rescueing Skid), Orxon (2nd visit as Ratchet), Gemlik Base and Quartu.
You know it's an absolute unit when just hearing it can make you remember the first time you heard, Rachet doing that small little shuffle forward at the start of every single landing.. and you hear one of those bops as he does.
Been waiting for this video I feel like rac 1 has the best ost for each planet out of the first 4 games.
aridia's outpost and the skidd theme are my favorites in the game by miles. i love those tracks so much, they can calm me down and put me in an upbeat mood
It’s a joy to see someone loving this soundtrack as much as me! Made me smile!
I think you stopped Hoven too early. It gets SOOO good just a bit later than when you stopped.
Been waiting for da re-upload on this one
*Listening to entire Ratchet and Clank OST*

Me: "Oh, just my favourite album."

16:03 "It insists upon itself"
But seriously, this was a pleasure to watch, besides when Eudora was placed in S rather than SS and then moved down to A despite being the best song on the soundtrack
From all the original trilogy soundtracks (and the whole R&C catalogue) this one is the best, all the songs here just smack on a whole other level
12:15 I think I'd go for Gemlik Base, if I had to pick only one. Kerwan is a solid second though, bc it's unquestionably the most iconic, recognizable, nostalgic, yadda yadda
Also, Kerwan is kinda biased - as is Rilgar - bc of the PS2 demo that came out with those two levels
tier 1: Gemlik, Kerwan
tier 2 (not in particular order): Veldin, Gaspar, Rilgar, Novalis)

Rilgar does match the theme of the planet. Yes you start in the sewer, but in the distance there is an epic night city. it conveys the seriousness of the environment quite well IMO
LMAOOOOO I was indeed watching this video waiting for Gemlik Base and I’m glad others agree
I think the Veldin (Drek) soundtrack is an SS tier IMO. What makes an SS tier is that it communicates the feeling of the level in the first few notes.
Black Water City is my all time favorite
Kerwan is straight up iconic
Thank you, Xem.
No problem, Triste 421.
Proof that I decided to rewatch this video.
How do I get this template?
Edit: wow this comment has been up for a year and no one has seen it
wow
Tobruk Crater is absolute god tier, I will die on this hill.
Outpost X11 in Aridia has the absolute BEST music in game, in line with Gemlik Base and Umbris
David Bergeaud really killed it
I think the Drek's fleet (ship) fits Command center in UYA better IMO.
It’s a tragedy that you skipped the B section of Veldin 2. That song is carried hard by that section, where it goes into a form of Dubstep before dubstep was ever a thing. Easy S to SS tier for me
I love the B section of Veldin 2, it takes time to get there but its really worth it
It also borrows influences from idm jungle rock ambient and industrial
Interestingly Novalis actually stuck with me the most. I wonder a bit as to why... Well that and that f*in Quark HQ infobot :D
yo this video is finally back
Veldin 2 has some Notak vibes
Nice!
You're nice!
The only criticism I could give the Qwark dogfight song is that it's a bit out of place with the rest of the game, and that you can't really hear it in game. But my god that song is amazing, shame you placed it so low.
Can we get a deadlock soundtrack tier list
He already did it
Ah yes, Veldin, the beginning of it all.
And we got a movie tie in on PS4 instead of this soundtrack in Stereo
eurora scaling cliff and kerwan fitness course must be higher
F Tier tier list for: Gaspar and Blarg not being in S+, Kalebo not being in S, and Eudora not being in A+. Oh yeah, Gemlik and Rilgar are massively overrated too. Jk this is a solid tier list, I can’t hate your placements because they aren’t bad. Music is subjective at the end of the day
I WILL FIGHT YOU OVER OPINIONS
@@xemvods4286 I’ma kiss you at the end of the fight. Automatic W for me, I don’t make the rules
No they are bad, hate it
Oh no im wrong, its good
yay it's back
Xem, are you a professional musician?
I was super hyper fixated on this and Sonic CD’s soundtrack for mixing so many samples :)
Wow it’s my old comment from 2022
imagine this, the stereo version doesn't exist
42:39 ooo i love Umbris!
Ratchet and clank music is dope. Veldin, Novalis, Blarg station are obviously ss tier.
49:51 🤨
I think both of the Orxon soundtracks is an S tier IMO.
The Kalebo III soundtrack is a low SS tier IMO.
Why does he look like a broccoli and talk so loud, i can't hear the music lmao
tbh orxon part 2 ost in A tier is fair
The second gemlik track is pretty much just a creppier version of the first one
some of these when you're were deciding the rank had me borderline on the unsubscribe button lmao I'm glad most of these I agreed on hahaha
Orxon Ratchet section sounds like the Multiplayer main menu music in RAC 3
Same instruments pretty sure
I will say. I disagree a lot with the Rilgar rising water track. I remember the horror and stress of the event. Literally no recognition for the music. That and it's just not that unique or particularly fitting. C tier
Nice vid but couldn’t like cuz 69
Its absolutely wrong list and your taste
Oh no, on phone I thought a is best haha, sorry, its good then
So many S's you'd assume this is Nazi Germany😂😂
Orxon Ratchet section sounds like the Multiplayer main menu music in RAC 3
