Which BG3 track should be next? 👀
I greatly recommend the music from Divinity original sin 2, also composed by Borislav Slavov. The main theme, battle for divinity and rivellon all give me instant goosebumps when listening them again.
If you're really into those BG3 battle OST's you really NEED to check out my favorite, Nine Blades, and Old Time Battles pt.1 and pt.2.
Nine Blades
Last Light!
The Legacy Of Bhaal
For sure :3
"This does not sound like a peaceful time by the river tallying up experience points."
Correct. This is when you're earning those experience points.
and it never fails to startle the crap out of me when I'm just out exploring somewhere and stumble upon an aggro mob and this music starts lol :)
First time I'm hearing this in game, I immediately went through the whole album just to find which song it was. The intro is so sick.
Yea it really is 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Same here!
no same i fell in love so hard so fast. as a musician myself too it just rlly got me and i am addicted to it
One of the things I like about the game is a lot of combats start with the scarier music, but when your party defeats their first enemy, the combat music switches to more hopefully and ascending.
This plays during combat, listened to it sooo many times and for sooo long ingame 😂
yes.. i never get tired of it.. even though my whole party was floored and only Astarion was alive 🤣
@@gyrachmanfr usually I’m in deep trouble when the banger comes on lol
Sometimes you just want to spend 5 minutes choosing your next action, just so you can keep listening to the combat music...
Although when I hear it out of context, all I can see in my mind's eye is CabotAnimations Battle of the Bands 😆
The animation plays in my head too, it's so good! Especially this part 3:26 @@LadyDoomsinger
The string instrument is a de-tuned lute accompanied by a hurdy gurdy
That's wild. How did you gather that info
@@DrumRollTonyReacts was watching another react video from another musician who mainly plays string instruments and was very familiar with the sound of a string instrument being de-tuned, making it twangier and loose sounding
@@DrumRollTonyReacts And not sure, but the weird shrill whine towards the beginning, I think it's a flute but unsure.
The YA BO GA VI hits hard, Borislav Slavov cooked on the OST, deserved the Game Awards win
That's the only award I was genuinely pissed that they didn't get. This soundtrack is so phenomenal, I don't even have words.
@moonwatcher99 in defense of the awards I'd argue that Soken went equally crazy in the FF16 soundtrack, so I can't really say it was a robbery or anything
I saw the list and I was like, the only real contender up there with BG3 would be FF16. That soundtrack was also fantastic. I wanted BG3 to win, but I ain't mad about FF16 getting the win.
it didn't
Soken went sicko mode with the 16 ost, I ain't even mad
"Get to the helm, thrall. I will take care of thissss..."
The whispering of the mindflayer motif in this piece always gets me.
They should've won best score at the Game Awards its actually nuts, I sat at the menu just listening to the OST multiple times
Same here.
Same I watched the entire credits at the end of the game just out of respect for the masterpiece. And I was blown away when there was new music only heard in the credits. Such a nice surprise!
no
The FF16 soundtrack had me sweating at times because it was so epic. Both games had insane scores.
@@ArsArmegiskeep malding
I highly recommend looking into Divinity Original Sin 2's soundtrack, Borislov worked on it too and it's the game Larian made that convinced Wizards of the Coast to let them make BG3. Specifically Sing For Me because one of the main characters is a bard and when you free her from a demon your reward is that song.
Lohse's song was HEAT, I kinda hoped for her voice to play when i played the song in bg3 lol.
Also I will say that Ifan's and Beast's theme are both amazing. But Path of The Godwoken (Cello Version) has to be my favorite.
broken shackles is a fucking amazing theme from that game
That is one of my favourite combat tracks from BG3, is what that is
Shame Borislav Didn't win best music at the Golden joystick or Game awards, but I guess it was tough competition, he won our hearts tho!
It was fair. The BG3 OST is good, but he didn't match his OST from D:OS2.
Raphael ost>>>> entire final fantasy ost @@Chestyfriend k
Un completo robo eso, solo por un par de tracks famosos y buenos de FF. BG 3 es súper completo
The weird sounds at 4:40ish might be someone using a string instrument bow on an electric guitar... you can get some pretty creepy tones with that effect.
it´s a Flute ^^
I was thinking Bass Recorder. The Mandelorian theme uses that instrument for the same effect
Next from BG3's I would highly highly recommend Nine Blades. A very gallant theme of a heroes journey with some twists. My personal favorite with the exception of main theme and down by the river.
The combat music! This entire soundtrack is phenomenal
hands down best piece in the game, great reaction as always tony!
It definitely is an amazing piece. I'm always massively impressed with his compositions
Raphael Final Act Bruh
@@lupobrando2827 corny
Unless someone hasn’t already said this, the shrill cry during the de-tuned lute solo is a flute being played with too much air being put through it. Essentially playing badly to achieve that uncomfortable and scary cry that shares similarities with war horns and calls played in battle, which is exactly when the theme plays in game
Roger that
It so perfectly evokes this sensation of two powerful opponents trading blows, there's this duality between the elements of the track coming together and separating like a clash in a fight. Phenomenal combat music.
Just found your channel recently. Really enjoying the technical insight you give to music. Not just that it’s good, but WHY it’s good.
This sound... it haunts me. Gets my heart pumping, my blood boiling. This masterpiece gets me ready for battle. A bit of fight or flight motivation.
Soken is good but damn, Slavov should have won the Game Awards...this is just a mid game piece that slaps so hard! The whole OST is composed to perfection!
Always a shame there can only be one winner when titans of game music clash. Both are great and I wish them long and successful careers. Looking forward to their works in the future
I really appreciate your breakdown of the instruments and different composition elements in your reactions. I'm someone who catches a melody and lyrics pretty quickly but not always good at noticing all the nuances of the instruments unless they're big moments.
this is one of my favourites! awesome track, awesome reaction as always, thanks :)
Nice to see some more Baldurs gate. I really like your thinking and presentation of it, makes your opinion very interesting on so much stuff. Feels like a balanced combination of embracing creativity and reasoning behind it. Would love to see some game/anime trailer analysis from you, I think music is the driving force there.
this is one of the combat tracks in the game, and im always boppin my head when its playing
If I ever hear a harpy song I'm as good as dead.
Facts!
This came for me at the battle when you escape the ship at the start, shit made my blood pump, had my headphones on max and it was just the tutorial fight and i was being blown away
I have a special interest in BG3's music, but your reactions on the soundtrack are easily some of my favourite content on YT. Sure, listening to the songs is great, but you picking out the instruments and melodies just takes it to another level for me.
Every time you release a new video I grab my headphones, start it up, and then queue up all your previous BG3 reactions starting from the first, capping it off with a second listen to the newest an hour later
This battle theme is really good and fits Baldurs Gate 3 perfectly
I really like this track. The beginning gives it that atmosphere of suspense, like a bad omen. And even with the uncertainty of the unknown ahead, the army moves forward, shouting their songs. The confrontation is inevitable whatever comes.
I Love BG3, and Love your music reaction to his soundtrack. So musicaly descriptive. Congratulations!
you put into words how it feels listening to the game while playing ,it adds on top of it
Breaking bones pulling bows, souls in glee, this piece speaks so much. Amazing.
I always interpreted that wailing sound at 4:33 as a dragon roar personally.
Never played any instrument, but I am jamming the same way as you do, thanks for this video, it made me smile that someone enjoys it like me
Watching this made me fall in love with BG3 all over again!
this music on honor mode with lae'zels angry portrait makes it that more special. probably because the track is all bloodthirsty.
Twisted Fate: [starts]
Tav: Oh, crap.
Lar'zel: This is where the fun begins.
I’ve been waiting for this song😈
This is battle music but i think it only ever comes up when you are fighting dark forces like undead or bhaalists (people who believe in the murder god)
Game of the year baby!!!
4:33 When it comes in the second time it sounds like it could be a recorder or some type of wooden flute and they're doing something funky with it. Definitely adds to the vibe, whatever it is.
It's a flute. If you play a wood flute very loudly and flutter it a lot, it will make a sound like a scream.
When this song plays in the game, somebody is about to take steel into a tender place.🗡
Who would have though a song could get me into a game, i saw this song in an animated short and since then, im a fan.
I'm really curious, what goes through your mind when you hear tracks that speak to you? Does it inspire you for your own work? Have you used other works as direct foundations for your own compositions?
When I first heard that song, it instantly reminded me of the Trailer song of Midsomar. Same vibes imo… I really love hearing it in battle ❤
I love Twisted Force so muchhhh
i cant get enough of these
It's a combat theme and plays most prominently in combat in the first area of Act 1.
First playthrough as Barbarian, when this song is on, i feel myself enraging in Wolf-heart!
I would be delighted if you would make a reaction to the HADES game music (In the Blood) at some point in the future.
Especially when there is a big update for the sequel, would be a nice timing for the channel
This always plays when you're fighting a hag, which is one of the most interesting and awesome villains in the game. Basically a typical fae creature, who tricks everyone, including you, does some absolutely horrific things to her captives, is a very powerful boss and at the same time can offer you some awesome boons and is surprisingly charismatic and likeable. It just describes the character and the chaotic fae nature she has so damn much and when you fight her and this plays it's just...full body goosebumps and excitement. What an experience!
bro felt the Rhythm of music when the song just started
This is my favorite song in BG3, absolute banger~!
You really shoud do Legacy of Bhaal next, my personal fave. Its very underrated as far as bg3 ost go imo.
Any luck finding out what is the screeching sound at 3:45? It's driving me nuts and I love it ! Wish I knew how they made that sound.
there are a few points on this track where it almost sounds like animal calls/screams to me like 0:22, 4:34 4:38 (specifically to me 022 sounds like some kind of hooved animal and 434 sounds like,,, chickens or something?) idk if that was intentional but if so it helps to give the track a more wild and intense feel, like when some kind of danger is coming and the animals start freaking out and you're like 'aw shit'
You should give some Castlevania music a try! Specifically SOTN if I had to choose one for having the best soundtrack. Its incredibly orchestral, haunting, and downright beautiful. I think you'd like it. It'd be a more pick it apart, type of video. Love the content btw brother keep it up.
At around 5:40 (your video) the string notes remind a lot of the music from Bram Stoker's Dracula, there's a dread that feels like it is coming in those tones. Love it. 😈
Hahahahahahah I love watching you analyze Borislav work!!
Marvelous.
Sounds like Brock Purdy dicing up a bad Seahawks defense !
I've played nearly 100hrs ingame (had several different playthroughs to figure out my fav class and race, hence the many ingame hrs) and I'm only now paying full attention to the OST! 😅
The music in this game is crazy good. Makes you really doubt the game awards and why it didn't win that one too. Definitely deserved it. Very few games ever reach this amount of beauty in music, shocking variety and interesting instrument combinations, all culminating to perfection. I dont even need to play the game to appreciate how good this is. The only other two games I can think of from recent years, are in fact Hades and Hollow Knight. And nothing else comes close really.
fight music baby!
4:25 it's the sound you get when you blow extremely hard into a flute, I think
This song is so great and idk anything about music, im just a lover of it but all the different sound 'textures' in this song are amazing.
If you fancy listening to the more lyrical songs then check out weeping dawn and i want to live (vocal version).
Idk if you've seen the interview dan allen did with Borislov but you might be interested. Hes super sweet
0:40 This is a "battle" track. It plays during combat encounters, unless there's a dedicated track associated, as with Raphael's theme.
Those shrieks around four minutes into the video sound like maybe a mutilated reed instrument. I could get stuff like that out of saxophones when I played, but it's more likely clarinet, since they're more common in orchestras. I don't know enough about oboe to know what they can do, but that's a possibility, too.
I think that wood might be a shakuhachi, I think theres some kind of aulos in there too
Yeah intense underground combat right there... Spells and swords
Dude, I would LOVE to hear what you think about Nine Blades off of this soundtrack. Cheers!
The shrieking noise at 4:39 sounds almost like someone playing behind the bridge on a cello or double bass to me.
Drums go hard
The screamy sound in the background kinda sounds like an aztek death whistle
It’s fantastic combat music!
When the song went "YA BII GO VIII" I felt that
The first time you hear this theme Tony is during your first timed encounter. You're on a mindflayer ship and the ship crashed into the Nine Hells and was attacked by Githyanki riding giant red dragons. You're supposed to rush to the helm to stabilize the crashing ship but the pilot is being attacked by devils and cambion. The pilot can't hold out against the cambion and at that point you can't fell the cambion general. Two more cambion are on the way to support the general and you have 13 turns to get to the helm before the ship crashes. Pretty tense if you ask me... so hence the music would be scary XD
Every sound in this song was made with a wet toothpick, not a single instrument.
Finally!!!!
Looking forward to when that Elplelt theme reaction comes out, since she just got released (Guilty Gear Strive)
"All is Ash And Meat"
that's the normal combat theme.
BG3 music was epic all around. I Want to Live was my favorite.
It's the flute screaming ;)
I know you have a pinned comment asking about BG3 music specifically, but I was wondering: Have you ever reviewed any of the music from Deus Ex Mankind Divided? That game has some serious atmospheric tracks, it's really good. I know it's an older series, but I would highly suggest checking it out. The opening title sequence and the TF29 themes are excellent. Oh, and Icarus Rising from Deus Ex Human Revolution is another incredible piece.
I have not. At least I don't think i have
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I definitely recommend it if you have time in the future. Both games had a very distinct, very atmospheric style.
when the fellas start chantin
I recommand you to taste the previous work of Borislav Slavov from the previous game of larian which was a banger: divinity original sin 2, especially thé track named "Tavern fight theme" another version of "the Queen of the high seas".
Epic
Recommend watching some Interviews with borislav. He goes realy indepth on how he does his music.
Fear not this night by Guild Wars 2 would be amazing!
WEEPING DAWN next please!!
Nine Blades from BG3 is also highly recommended!
Make way to the Blade of Frontiers!
He should listen to the Castle theme from Breath of the wild
you think this is scary? try mindflayer theme, or Myrkul theme, when i hear it i have "i'm screwed" thought, Borislav is genius to present villains, to give iou that thought
BG3 should've won best score imo. Guess they couldn't just hand everything to Larian.
I think the screechy sound was just them fucking up a viola
i was summoned by a didgeridoo
DOBBIE DOBBIE
HIT EM WID THE YA BO GA VIIII
Has he heard Raphael's music yet? That is going to blow his mind!!! xxx
He has, check his earlier work
Not sure if it's your style, but my personal favourite is Surgery of a Hope. Very ominous.
Would love to see you explain a bit of the original Diablo songs and why they work so damn well lol. For an actual "weird" recommendation, what about the music from the game series Hylics? It's pretty off beat and catchy despite being so... amateurish feeling? Not sure how to explain it. You might like it.
