If you're surprised by this genre switch, I'm sure this won't be the last time it catches you by surprise. AK music has *a lot* of diversity in its catalog. There's practically something for any music listener in there. And I think that's part of why Arknights music has such a widespread appeal. A ton of variety in its sound, and most (if not all) of it sounds fantastic.
People have only been recommending him similar stuff up until now because they thought he would only like rock/metal music, but there's way more to arknights than just that.
To answer your thought about how you don't know what each CC theme is based on, they're typically reflective of the mindset of one of the major enemies featured in each CC, where this one was definitely about the Hateful Avenger who re-appears later. The other themes can be a bit more archaic as to who they represent, but that's usually the pattern they follow. Dawnseeker in particular is one of my favorites because it's a much more defeatist song lyrically, and is more representative of a character who isn't that much of a highlight in that CC.
Fun Fact, this song is about the same character as Operation Basepoint, he is such a chad that he gets 2 theme songs. On a side note, you skipped CC 0, the lobby theme is Operation Barrenland.
People joke that AK is a music production company disguised as a video game, which has layers because there Is an actual production company within the game itself (run by a talking emperor penguin in a tupac shirt with a gun) called Monster Siren Records (MSR) which is what Hypergyph (actual game dev company) releases its EPs under on platforms like Spotify. My favorite genre songs in the AK playlist include: country rock, Actual Latin Dirge, Russian lullaby, 2000s punk rock, operatic rock musical, experimental indie Chinese electro fusion, folk songs, and r&b. I really love how they are just not afraid to do absolutely Whatever The Fuck They Want when it comes to the music they put out. Anyways, i think most of the fandom agrees that CC Blade is the GOAT of the lobby themes. There are some really great ones alongside it, but they never quite go This hard. I think Deepness has to be my personal favorite though, I can't wait to see your response to the rest!
I've already heard a few of the CC themes, so if you haven't poked around my other uploads you should give a look 🤘. Deepness, Pyrite and Basepoint i remember for SURE but there might be another my shoddy memory is forgetting 🫠
5:32 Operation Blade is about a creep with the power to one shot your defender. Some of the lyrics (most) indicate that the song is about him. A good example is "Yes I'm on fire" pair with the part when he is down to 50% HP, his sword started to burn and your whole defense line is just gone.
this song is sung from the perspective of an elite enemy called "hateful avenger" that was featured on this song's event (operation blade). The enemy is known for being an absolute menace capable of going around one hitting stuff once his hp goes below 50% (igniting his katana on fire). Operation Basepoint is also sung from the perspective of this enemy, a while after operation blade, that's why the song talks about revenge and coming back (and also the futility of revenge for the sake of revenge). The enemy in basepoint, now much stronger, is a boss called "The Avenger" having similar abilities but incredibly more powerful
Just found this on random, now having a flashback to that narcissist red blade praising himself heavily saying he is the one and can destroy my fully prepared defence in 1 shot.
"this is completely different from what people have recommended up until now, this is a nice change". We've recommended you things that we know you'd enjoy a lot. But as often said, Arknights indeed has a lot of genra music it covers. From Opera to hard rock, to electro to dubstep to whatevergenrayouwantjustnameit. I'm sure listening to all CC themes will prove you that and convince you even more to continue Arknights reacts! May I recommend Dawnseeker next (after Cinder) ? It's the CC#8 theme.
reminder almost all CC has a lobby and a battle music(earlier ones didint) so maybe that "10 left" might change good luck! edit: if its too hard to find them, a lot of ppl have compiled "CC#0 ~ CC#12 battle theme/lobby theme"
This one is BY FAR my favorite CC lobby theme. The vibe it has is great, the piano goes so hard, and the song just has such a smug attitude that I cant help but jam along
CC theme its like the Lobby Theme that plays for a minigame called Condigency Contract that it happens at 3/4 mounths on the game we recommend the cc 12 theme cuz it the last we have (arknights companny hypergriff said cc12 was the last so we waiting for more even tho it ended) but the funny thing you will know arknights doesnt have a gender for music they do a bunch of bangers with diferent genders and i think ppl prob recommend by what they see what song you most liked so i recommend now my top 5 (sorry to bothering a bit) A Cold Call: mostima theme We Never give up by Stay Loose March on: Horn theme And Magic Theorem: Dorthy theme My 5 its one of cc lobby songs with is lead seal so enjoy when it comes
The CC themes are well... Themed basically. This and blade point are about specific characters, but the rest are (I think)just themed around the places they're set in and the other events that come before and after their corresponding CC events. Also there actually are classical pieces, though I can't spell them for the life of me.
lezzgooo! for this mini contingency contract series, i probably recommend skipping cc#3 cinder since the original ost had some copyright/trademark issues because of various reasons. the ost that we do get is basically just a replacement because of it. you can still listen to the original one called "cc#3 cinder legacy ost" or something.
Since you're likely hearing them anyways the difference between cc4 lead seal, cc5 spectrum and cc6 wild scales lobby themes is quite stark, so surely that will be a fun whiplash for you to experience just a bit of the wide range of genres ak music handles
Lullabye, Immutable, Sentenced, I Believe In Us and Requiem. Oh, Requiem. A songs for the case you want something different from what you have heard so far. Uneasyknights and Depressionknights included. Still damn good songs though.
there is a new ost for a character that released with the new chapter on Chinese servers, if someone is avoiding spoilers then I won't say who it is, but here is the song: ua-cam.com/video/L_AImg-ti4Y/v-deo.html I've been really enjoying it since it came out so I want to see and hear your opinion, but I'm going to have to wait for it probably
I recommend giving Daydream ( ua-cam.com/video/mt8KltZ9Ruo/v-deo.html official) a go. It's not similar to things you've listened to and really unique sounding song.
People: hey arknights, what genre of music do you have? Arknights: yes. People: wdym? Arknights: YES!!!! Btw, I wanna see you react to one of the more unique music arknights has, daydaydream. Yes, that's the song name. Day day dream.

Oh no, he thinks all CC songs are from the same genre. Oh sweet summer child...

2:45 "I didn't expect this"
That's what I thought as well when I opened up the lobby and heard this.

Damn it that so? I didn't know it was based on the mindset of the enemies, Reds got a burning desire for a certain pink doggo I suppose

a creep ? you call him a creep ? you gonna get redblade all over your face mr.
@@DeliciousFriendHastur Well, technically he, avenger (or hateful avenger), is a creep.
@@DeliciousFriendHastur that's just a different interpretation of weeb. Because he's red weeb not red creep
Red isn’t a creep! He saved Susie!
@@DeliciousFriendHastur "creep" in this usage is in the sense of "NPC", "mob", or "enemy"
"That was a cool genre change"
Ho man, you will be surprised by how many genres AK OSTs have if not already.
this song is sung from the perspective of an elite enemy called "hateful avenger" that was featured on this song's event (operation blade). The enemy is known for being an absolute menace capable of going around one hitting stuff once his hp goes below 50% (igniting his katana on fire).

The enemy in basepoint, now much stronger, is a boss called "The Avenger" having similar abilities but incredibly more powerful
Blade also describes the entirety of Red saving Susie at the climax of A Light Spark in Darkness.
Im so used to watching the fan animation for this, it feels wierd to see a still image for the song
Blade is still my favorite of the CC themes. Dawnseeker and Pine Soot have come the closest but Blade's lyrics are so good
I like some other themes more but if someone says "Arknights song" I think "I'm on fire"
People have probably told you this but contingency contracts have two themes: lobby and combat. Combat themes are absolutely worth checking out too!
Just found this on random, now having a flashback to that narcissist red blade praising himself heavily saying he is the one and can destroy my fully prepared defence in 1 shot.
LETS GOOOOOOOO!
"this is completely different from what people have recommended up until now, this is a nice change".

May I recommend Dawnseeker next (after Cinder) ? It's the CC#8 theme.
If he watched Ambience Synesthesia 2022 that's a pretty good overview of how many different genres Arknights reaches
Some of the people here can't unsee a certain sheep stomping on the floor when they hear this
"Mozart secret track" 💀oh he doesn't know
reminder
almost all CC has a lobby and a battle music(earlier ones didint)
so maybe that "10 left" might change
good luck!
edit: if its too hard to find them, a lot of ppl have compiled "CC#0 ~ CC#12 battle theme/lobby theme"
Oh I know I'm just starting with finishing off the lobby themes in bulk
This one is BY FAR my favorite CC lobby theme. The vibe it has is great, the piano goes so hard, and the song just has such a smug attitude that I cant help but jam along
Today was the first time I actually listened to this theme as I wasn't playing when this CC happened and it absolutely caught me off guard lmao
CC theme its like the Lobby Theme that plays for a minigame called Condigency Contract that it happens at 3/4 mounths on the game we recommend the cc 12 theme cuz it the last we have (arknights companny hypergriff said cc12 was the last so we waiting for more even tho it ended) but the funny thing you will know arknights doesnt have a gender for music they do a bunch of bangers with diferent genders and i think ppl prob recommend by what they see what song you most liked so i recommend now my top 5 (sorry to bothering a bit)
A Cold Call: mostima theme
We Never give up by Stay Loose
March on: Horn theme
And Magic Theorem: Dorthy theme
My 5 its one of cc lobby songs with is lead seal so enjoy when it comes
Already reacted to Basepoint and a couple others 😉
@@CatharsisYT yeah ive see your videos quite often even tho i dont comment, so cheers and have a nice day
@@juanoliveira1920 cold call has been on my list for a while. The odds of getting to it this month are basically 100%
CC themes are PEAK Ak music, no cap. Have fun!
This is hilarious to recommend to you on your literal first step, but Squad Unknown dropped like yesterday so you might want to check that out.
He need to listen the Ebenholz theme
The CC themes are well... Themed basically. This and blade point are about specific characters, but the rest are (I think)just themed around the places they're set in and the other events that come before and after their corresponding CC events.
Also there actually are classical pieces, though I can't spell them for the life of me.
The bass is crazy in this
lezzgooo! for this mini contingency contract series, i probably recommend skipping cc#3 cinder since the original ost had some copyright/trademark issues because of various reasons. the ost that we do get is basically just a replacement because of it. you can still listen to the original one called "cc#3 cinder legacy ost" or something.
Oh would’ve figured we’d start with Barrenland
Ye it's probably not going to be chronological at all since I've already listened to a random collection already
wait till you hear the "Kazimier Dubsteb"
Since you're likely hearing them anyways the difference between cc4 lead seal, cc5 spectrum and cc6 wild scales lobby themes is quite stark, so surely that will be a fun whiplash for you to experience just a bit of the wide range of genres ak music handles
Just a headup, since you're planning to do all CC lobby theme, each one of them are very very different in style.
The only ones with some parallels are 5 and 8, with both playing in Kazimierz
AK CC marathon!
Okay, who's gonna recommend him A Grand Adventure?
As good as all the CC themes are, this one still remains my favorite. There's just something about the way it hits all throughout.
you'll be very suprised about the next contingency contract song, it's completely different form all the songs you've listened until now
looking forward to you hearing the 12th and last CC song until the revamp sometime in the future
He already did
These CC songs are lobby themes where you plan out your strategy to go against a hyperbuffed group of enemies
The time has finally come!!
YES! I'M ON FIREEE!!
YES I'M ON FIRE
I'm looking forward to all of the other CC reactions! Unfortunately I was quite late this time
Lullabye, Immutable, Sentenced, I Believe In Us and Requiem. Oh, Requiem.
A songs for the case you want something different from what you have heard so far.
Uneasyknights and Depressionknights included.
Still damn good songs though.
This game has a lot more genres than you've heard, you have no idea what's left
If I'm not mistaken, that picture on your shirt is from you twitter for the animated series. Can't wait to see it
Absolutely love this particular CC theme 🔥 gives me 7horse vibes
My favorite CC song 😊
he is doing it guys
Lobby theme btw
Good song- Bad memories
YES IM ON FIRE
iirc the first time I saw your video was when your subs were at 1600ish
it's now 2570ish! congrats on that!
on the other hand,
*scratches armpit*
I'M STILL SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND. AM I MONKE?!?
@@CatharsisYT don't worry my eyes are telling me you're clearly not a monke
I wear glasses so you cannot trust my eyes but I know their differences
there is a new ost for a character that released with the new chapter on Chinese servers, if someone is avoiding spoilers then I won't say who it is, but here is the song: ua-cam.com/video/L_AImg-ti4Y/v-deo.html
I've been really enjoying it since it came out so I want to see and hear your opinion, but I'm going to have to wait for it probably
ARKNIGHTS MUSIC ARE MASTERPIECE
welcom to club
Oh hell yeah
I recommend giving Daydream ( ua-cam.com/video/mt8KltZ9Ruo/v-deo.html official) a go. It's not similar to things you've listened to and really unique sounding song.
People: hey arknights, what genre of music do you have?
Arknights: yes.
People: wdym?
Arknights: YES!!!!
Btw, I wanna see you react to one of the more unique music arknights has, daydaydream. Yes, that's the song name. Day day dream.
Also Random Randomly. It has a similar vibe to Daydaydream
Arknights:YES IM ON FIIIIIREE!!!
Please react to CC4 Lobby Theme too
Lmao what a chad
I am the best BANANA!!!
