  • This is one of the wildest songs I've heard in a video game in a really long time, left my jaw on the floor tbh. I love this pseudo jazz symphony work. The big band style works insanely well, and the organ, well, damn. Hits you in the face.

    Chef Saltbaker himself is also an unbelievably gorgeous piece of animation, it's an absolute shame that the fight is hard as nails so it's difficult to appreciate while playing.

      Not to mention the imagery and style they successfully mimiced. Seriously the image of Saltbaker grinning and the coachman from Pinocchio (1940) grinning is so close to the same thing while still being animations in Cuphead, it's just perfect.

      honeslty this comment made me remember how The Key Ingredients (dlc credits theme) embodies a final cuphead sendoff perfectly, maybe even moreso than Baking The Wondertart. it of course has the Don’t Deal With The Devil theme, but also the Inkwell Isle motif, the Far Off Isle motif, and has an amazing Disney-like feel to make it sound so grand, and an ending that knocks it out of the park

    Cuphead's artistry is almost (if not entirely) unmatched. I've never played it because I know my limits (lol) but I'm FASCINATED by every aspect of it. Like you said, the music is so unique, I love jazz so much, this ost is like a bunch of Xmas gifts. As a Brazilian I have to be cliche and say Floral Fury is my favorite theme with its VERY ACCURATE 20s style samba with cuícas and everything. There isn't a single bad song in this ost! ❤️

    What will really cook your noggin is how in the first few tracks, they hint at the motif of the final boss. That all is not well and sinister things lurk below. Then you hear this track and you realize it's all been building to this. Subtle hints in a very Disney sort of manner of what's to come.

    Finally someone reacting to Cuphead OSTs.
    Cuphead has literally one of the best OST list of all games. I can't think of a "boring" song or something. Devs literally hired a big band, with most/all of the instruments being "organic". And even so that's one of the few reactions I have ever found for some reason.

    Amazing song. This is my first time actually ever hearing it. I like the classical jazz feeling it gives with it's brass and such. But it's so unique on it's own. Definitely not something you hear in ANY other video game OST.
    Completely unrelated to add as well. I do not know where to exactly "suggest" songs but i'd love to hear your reaction and thoughts on the song "Roland - Library of Ruina" It's a fantastic piece of music with beautiful violin play and piano play all at work in it. I cannot recommend it enough for I feel you'd enjoy it very much. Either way! Love the videos Marco and your thoughts on music.

    By the way, would you be interested in checking out Pizza Tower music? It doesn't have any real meaning behind it (game doesn't have any real lore), so it may be not really worth your time, but some of the themes are soooo epic. Especially "Bye bye there"

  • @RR3DSceptyr
    @RR3DSceptyr Рік тому +27

    Ngl, the thing I like about Baking the Wondertart, especially Phase 3's part, is how full-circle it works Saltbaker's deceit into its very fabric. This isn't the Devil, a knowingly malicious force the Cups got tragically indebted to. This is a being that was lying to you about the deal he made from the START - a cheery, overly helpful facade hoping to make Miss Chalice alive again, only to become a cackling, cruel colossus who's planning to dominate reality itself and use your MC's severed *heads* as the vessels.
    And that Stage Three part of BTW being a dark reprisal of A Far Off Isle's stinger brings that home. Saltbaker's literally taking the theme that brought you to his part of the Isles *and twisting it against you*. Absolutely perfect theme to close the Cuphead series in general and his fight in particular on.

    This soundtrack is genuinely _almost_ perfect. Whilst I myself personally find the later parts of it to be sligthly forgettable when paired up against the unbelievably memorable OST of this beautiful game, the first half ABSOLUTELY carries this piece and is genuinely iconic. The vibraphone and violin in the second phase part *(**1:00* and onward) of it go unimaginably hard and have a weirdly cosmic and astral feel (Ironically enough that's also a part in the fight where you're lifted way high up, probably that was the intention?), which I absolutely adore, I really can't believe that the vibraphone was played *LIVE,* like holy shit it's so fast-paced and ludicrous! The organ and overall sinister mood and feel in the first phase part also go extremely hard. If the general quality (Subjective thing to say, I know, I do agree that the quality is great even in the second half) and memorability aspect was consistently kept up throughout the entire song, then I would have not hesitated one second to call it one of the single greatest pieces of music in the history of video games, but even with its slight shortcomings in mind, it is a damn musical masterpiece given to us by a genius. It is truely insane how seriously the developers took the music of this game, and I for one am ABSOLUTELY all for it.
