Glad you enjoyed the song. What you've heard from Guilty Gear, they do often have some unique patterns and compositions, but Love The Subhuman Self along with a handful of others compositions will maintain a general pocket, but will still have some fun with some things.
Ps- Thank you for the analysis as well, as I really enjoy learning new observations with these songs that I didn't notice until you broke it down.
"Thank you" - we say in unison 🙏
Please do reaction on smoothness machine by linkin park
Empityness machine
I've been waiting for this one. Gotta be one of my favorite tracks in the game, alongside 'Symphony' and 'Ups and Downs,' can't wait to see what Tony thinks of it.
Same , man. Symhony, this track and Smell of the game listening non-stop
I adore Love the Subhuman Self. This used to be my favorite song from the base game for a long time. The spot might have been taken by Necessary Discrepancy, but man, this one is up there.
I love how the all the instruments go hard as hell, while the synths add a texture that's almost floating. Then the second singer comes in and makes the song even heavier, but, every single time, the chorus manages to sound incredibly vulnerable and human, and that makes me weirdly happy.
My favorite section is probably towards the end, where it actually sounds like Millia is putting all of her insecurities out there "Don't leave. Don't leave me" before picking everything up into this catchy chorus immediately after.
But also, I think this is one of those songs where no one part stands out that much to me, as I just appreciate it as a whole.
I think this one is more "conventional" than others we've heard on the channel, but sometimes it's nice to have songs like this, and this one is one of my favorites especially because of the chorus. I hope you can listen to Roar of the Spark soon!
I agree
THE BEES KNEES
🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I get so excited when I see one of these Guilty Gear videos pop up, man. Always love to hear your perspective on it. Huge shout out to Sebastian for the consistent requests, seriously.
7:51 he unintentionally referenced Daisuke's Vision
This is one of those that has comfortably sat in the playlist rotation since first listen
Can never have enough of Tony reacting to Guilty Gear!
7:51 Daisuke's vision?!
he is the producer of the music
@@Skynordgameryes he knows it's just a thing that people in the community say about game for example two players keep clashing on purpose and someone will say "this is daisuke's vision"
Always love when Daisuke wakes up and decides Dream Theater didn't make enough music
Still waiting for the Elphelt Theme reaction 😂
Gotta save it for christmas
Bro her theme is SO GOOD
Thats what im saying! We NEED him to react to Extras! One of my favorite tracks!
@@leafycu-sparky2619 lol it feels like he has reacted to nearly all of them except my favorites. This one and Faust's themes are some of the best though so that's a plus. I need the elphelt, Jack-o, and May themes as soon as possible
I need freesia please PLEASE
Some context for the chorus switch-up sounding very power-metaly "So carry on - love the subhuman self". Likely the chorus is a nod to the band ANGRA and their song 'Carry On'.
Millia's hair-demon is called ANGRA which is a reference to the band but they doubled up on it for this song lol. Original chorus for Carry on goes as: "So carry on - there's a meaning to life."
In a way it is the same message in the greater context of Millia's story. (Also she has a move in game called "Secret Garden" which is an ANGRA album. Really drives it home lol.)
Finally you hear a full Aisha song! You've heard her before in Necessary Discrepancy but that was still mostly Naokis song. You also heard Jamison before, way back in Smell of the Game where he recited the mankind speech. Aisha's tone in this is so surpising compared to how she usually sounds, usually she sings in much more upbeat songs, but she killed it here she's amazing. She's been streaming on Twitch lately, learning to play Strive as her first time with a videogame ever, and she apparently forgot what her other Guilty Gear songs other than May and Bridgets sounded like, so when she heard this one in game she was like "that's ME??". But yeah I'd love to see you hear more of Aisha's tracks, The Town Inside Me and Perfection Can't Please Me are my other favorites of hers.
One of the things I see from Daisuke Ishiwatari the composer is that he uses silence as a rhythm. Like that drop out of the drums you caught. It's so fun to me.
So many times in this playlist he will comment "This is very abnormal, but for Guilty Gear it's expected." Daisuke is truly a madman and a visionary.
I will allways love how the GG songs aren't just bg songs, instead they are like part of that character story or personality like:
Subhuman Self has a male singer on the background along with Aisha refering to Zato and his relationship with Millia, at the same time the song feels aggressive but also like a heavenly lullaby some times like Millia itself being this angelical woman on the outside but a professional killer inside
Sol's theme being badass like sol
Or Elphelt theme being composed like a christmas song because she was borned on december 25th
YEESSSS one of my fav strive songs im so glad you finally got around to it!!!
READY OOOOOOR ?!?!? 😂
(waiting for this one)
For thoses who want the title its : Ride the fire
😭 bro think about my trauma...
oh i thought it was "RADIOOOO" lol
@@Jackeh47 yeah a lot of peoples heard RADIO and its became a meme in the community
TIME TO RE-A-LIZE
Favorite part of this song is definitely how strong the chorus is, I feel if Daisuke ever re-composed this though he would give the second vocalist more parts, even if it’s just alternating lines with AISHA
I love the composition highlights like at 11:48; It's the kind of thing that as a casual music person you might not actively catch or understand why it's interesting especially in a (by Guilty Gear standards) relatively tame track like this one. GG was my gateway into all kinds of Japanese rock and it's been fascinating listening to genres I've enjoyed for 20-some-odd years through a whole new and sometimes very different lens.
Let's gooo, you're finally doing one of my favorites. Can't wait to see what you think about it...
LETS GOOO! Such a good song
One of the best tracks in the game, you should also check Fressia from Guilty Gear Xrd, totally a different vibe
FREEEEESIAAAAAAAAA
Love reactions and analysis to GG songs man, you nail the point every single time and get all those details that make this soundtracks special. Keep going, the next you should do must be Extras - Elphelt theme
You're listening to these wildly out of chronological order, but in general with Strive, the songs from the base game at launch roster, like Smell of the Game, Carve Your One Way, & this are a bit more "normal", & the post-launch DLC characters have been getting more & more out there with the composition.
that's because the songs are suggested that way by people.
@RuzPav I know! I'm just letting Tony know that there actually is a rhyme and reason to the level of of progressive structure changes, it's not just all over the place.
the songs featuring Aisha have been more traditional ones (but still good of course), though The Town Inside while not explicitly different, tweaks the tone and layers of instrumentation, helping you feel the journey of character the song represents. All of Guilty Gear Strive's songs are about the character themselves. Their perspectives, journeys, philosophies, struggles, etc. the more you understand the lore, the more you're like "yeah, this makes sense"
5:49 Making his own guilty gear lyrics
Heck yeah another off the GG list! Great analysis as always, love listening to you geek out about the songs.
Still gotta do Extras. They got a different female lead, Molly, for that song and she kills it
I recommend checking out Extras (Elphelt’s theme)! She’s my favorite character in the series and has the best theme in my opinion.
I did a piano cover of this a long time ago and was surprised it got a decent amount of views 😭
guilty gear just dropped three new vocal tracks tony you know what you gotta do
If i recall right you already listened to Necessary Discrepency so you're familiar with Aisha, she's the other singer for the guilty gear themes and I love the contrast between her style and Naoki's very distinctive style
One of my favourites, glad ya got to it
Great video, a long time coming
probably the best Strive background song while playing
Charting this song for Clone Hero really made me appreciate it more than I already did. It's a banger track
Thank you Sebastian Hanøy, being such a dedicated Patreon subscriber - bringing Daisuke Ishiwatari's imagination to the masses.
Please please please get Tony to react to Does the sheep count the sheep? from Guilty Gear Xrd! Such a killer track...
I see Music Director reacting to guilty gear music, I click.
I am here once again, but a humble man asking again for the next GG song be Hellfire. Please and Thank you.
I may be taking a break to learn A.B.A. but Millia is my forever main since GGX. Writhe in Pain, Lily of Steel, and Love the Subhuman Self are all spectacular themes.
Sebastians the goat for picking gg songs
My favorite Strive theme, the low and highs are great.
Hope you eventually hear some of the XRD voiced themes like Tsuki no Shihai, Ride the Fire, Freesia, Heavy Day, Break a Spell
what a deep cut...
BANGER
Hell yeah this is a good one, im hoping for Freesia from Guilty Gear xrd some time
OxT the guys who did the 1st 2nd and 4th op for overlord made a new song for the movie called WHEELER-DEALER and it is awesome plain and simple. maybe check it out?
I think it's about half and half for which songs of the OST have the big breaks at the end. You just listenned to a lot of those that do first. ^^
my favorite part of guilty gear music is that in the actual videogame of guilty gear you never get to hear all these awesome latter halves of the songs because a match of guilty gear only lasts like ~2 minutes at most
best theme in the whole game 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
FINALLY
Yup the reason you got used to the final section going somewhere else was because lately you have been hearing the DLC character themes that came after the game finished and Daisuke went even more experimental on those ones 🤘
Back with some Guilty Gear let's go
Okay, so Millia is the ex lover of Zato=1, which is why you hear male growls in the second half of the song. You can also hear Millia’s vocalist in the very last line of Zato’s theme with “I’m a shadow always with you.”
I don't know where you got that from but she was adopted and raised by zato hence the whole "Assasian" thing source:strive,xrd,xx accent core plus guide, wiki, and me being no1 millia currently lol
@@KoKoDayoh huh? zato was her mentor and lover dude, i think you got something confused
@broseidonofthebrocean What i meant to address was the comment that the portion of the song is addressing that because they were *ex lovers and not because zato learned to let go of the hatred he had for millia and vowed to protect her and be on equal terms which the song is most likely addressing
@broseidonofthebrocean aswell her wiki quite literally says she dislikes him in the strive portions of her character swell in xrd
@@broseidonofthebrocean
"Born in Russia, Millia lost both of her parents to the Crusades at an early age. In 2173, she was found in the ruins of a village and taken in by the Assassin's Guild, now under the recently-appointed leader, Zato-ONE. Taken to be trained as an assassin, Millia activated the 6th Forbidden Spell in 2175, although whether she took the curse freely or if it was forced upon her is unknown. She was then trained to use her hair as a lethal weapon, but Millia wanted no part of such a loathsome life, and tried to commit suicide several times. At the same time, her relationship with Zato evolved from savior, to teacher, to lover, even as she questioned her life as an assassin."
While I wouldn't call "being taken in by the Assassin's Guild" an "adoption", it is what the wiki says. She was taken in by the guild 7 years before the events of the first game.
YEAAAAH BABYYYYYY !!!
would love to hear you listen to one of the older guilty gear songs, like storyteller
Hey Tony, think when you are feeling bored you can go through by the Lies of P OST - Lisrim, keep up the good content
you should check the panty and stockings ost, it's such a funky time and i know you will enjoy it
Great video!
Could you react to storyteller from GG xrd sign?
I actually think that OST would be great for you to react!
Jack-A Dandy, Juno, and Original Bet are some other bangers from XRD. And of course Big Blast Sonic or Heavy Day.
He's already done storyteller
Might be the best song on the soundtrack
Ahh brilliant, this was my favourite at launch.
Some DLC tracks have since overtaken it, though. Plus Necessary Discrepancy.
Amazing theme, we need more guilty gear
ngl, I still want Tony to React to "BIG BLAST SONIC" and Icarus / The name of heaven. To throw a few of Daisuke's emotional slow songs into the list.
This one rocks
I'm just realizing now that the songs with Aisha on vocals don't really ever have a big twist - they're just really solid all of the way through. Still an amazing song though.
Top 5 Strive track
Ayeewe finally
Do the League of Legends Worlds Song that comes out on the 24th or 25th(I forgot which)! it's super popular so you'll get lots of views, plus the songs bang and the animation is sweet!
You should do awakening the chaos from blazblue that one is epic af
hey drumrolltony! ive been watching your content for a while now and theres this anime called "bocchi the rock" which circles around japanese rock styled music. they're anime has their own band on spotify and are really big in japan. it would be super cool for you to react to their opening, and other songs from theyre anime
I did the whole anime on patreon. I actually did a reaction video for the op but youtube blocked it. Loved the anime
@@DrumRollTonyReacts oh thats my bad! great to hear it tho!
Hi! I would like to reccomend some OST's for you to listen to. They are from a game called Roblox (Doors). I personally suggest you listen to all the floor 2 OST's. But if you want to play it you can just install the game :)
“Mallia’s theme” 😭
I'm still sad about the change to the instrumental palette between this official version and the one that played in Millia's reveal trailer. Still good though
Just found your channel so I'm not sure if you have, but have you ever thought about Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross music? I've watched a few videos so far and enjoy your takes, especially the You're Not Alone video.
I beg of you. Please give Freesia a try. It won't dissapoint.
FFXIV - Ink Long dry
My favorite part of this song was the whole song

If I were paid in dollars/euros, I would definitely pay you to react to Elphelt's theme song.

Can you record the reactions of the power down song from fnf mod mario's madness?
