I don't usually comment on these because I've got little to no knowledge on the subject of music composition, but I gotta say the visuals you make have always helped keep my attention and make things more understandable to me, even if I don't *really* get what you're talking about on a more technical level. These videos are great because they're enjoyable despite my complete lack of knowledge.
Metallic Madness is easily the most satisfying stage in Sonic CD to get a good future on. You have to fight your way through hell and back, but man being greated by those opening chords in the good future makes it all the worth.
Something I noticed and liked is that in the Present mix, the piano rhythm at 0:03 after those opening orch hits is extremely similar to the opening of Palmtree Panic's Bad Future. In other words, it's like the potential bad future that we were given a glimpse of at the start of the game is now currently happening in full force, and it's our job to go undo it now.
Yeah for sure. I love how they even made titanic monarch apart of metallic madness. As it was supposed to be final fever. It gives a whole lot of world building and detail that people don’t often appreciate
16:52 - Something I noticed that follows this idea is the intro for MM Present (US) uses power chords of the root and 5th the entire time, leaving out the 3rd to give it an ambiguous mood, setting up an uncertain future.
A fun little thing I noticed about Mania's Metallic Madness act 2, it uses a synth found in CD's US soundtrack! During the funky saxophone solo and right after the eggman rap section, Mania uses the choppy/static-y synth that is used in the background of the US track for Metallic Madness Good Future. I think that is pretty neat.
I'm pretty sure both soundtracks use the same basic synths because both our based entirely around samples loops live samples taking from synths and cds keyboards etc
@Brady-d3f While they might both use similar synths, they're definitely not exactly the same. The best example is the drums, which in the JP soundtrack is made by Roland drum machines, while in the US soundtrack its an Alesis (and some live recordings). Not to mention that the US soundtrack focuses more on live recorded instruments like the guitar, the bongos and some other percussion instruments, and the vocalists. The US soundtrack using synths is more special than the JP soundtrack because the US soundtrack uses synths much less than the JP soundtrack.
I don't think it's the same; Metallic Madness US tracks are filled by the Korg Wavestation and 01/W sounds, while Tee Lopes uses the M1 and Monopoly He also doesn't sample songs directly often, so it could just be a similar patch
Since last time i watched your channel, i learned music theory. I actually know what you're talking about now. Probably a good idea to rewatch the other ones too
@IkinBBfromAnthologyOfTheKiller so glad to hear this! Yeah, my videos work great as an introduction to theory, and then once you return with an overall grasp of music thoery fundamentals from a course etc., you'll now be able to watch the videos and make new connections/observations, to take things to the next level!
@@ZanyCat The text overextends the sign and isn’t formatted correctly since it’s a fan-made sign. If Sega made this, they would likely make the text smaller to fit the sign plate.
Always enjoy seeing you give some attention to the US soundtracks. The 3 US Metallic Madness songs are some of my favorite Sonic songs ever, funnily enough. Similarly to Stardust Speedway, it feels like each soundtrack for this level was based off one one word in the name Metallic Madness; The US soundtrack takes the word “metallic” and the Japanese soundtrack takes the word “madness.”
Best Christmas Eve present EVER! Always interesting to see the different time periods of metallic madness, because it’s the only stage Robotnik owns since he *built* it. It’s HIS stage, HIS base. He owns it, it was always HIS, we can only take it away by getting a good future, with a bad future showing that even his own base, which he built and designed, is not safe from his wasteful and cruel actions, with it looking as if it will all fall apart with exposed wires, worn lighting, the background of the second act is almost entirely dark like the power is fluctuating or failing, and everything is coated with a layer of sickly, brown rust. (Plus, just how LARGE is metallic madness? That background looks like it may go on and on forever and forever, just like the metal shell which Eggman has trapped little planet beneath)
You definitely missed onto A LOT by omitting the other changes in the USA soundtrack, such as the intro, or how the good and bad future are mutually exclusive remixes of the present which mashes the two together into one
5:19 to add to the 90's-ness of those piano stabs, the sample played just before them seems to be sampled from a 90s sample cd Zero-G Datafile 2, in particular track 58
The lack of the CD button in the elevator always annoyed me. Mania is the fifth game in that style, not the fourth. Not acknowledging CD in the marketing was an affront. If anything, the "K" was unnecessary since it represents the second half of the same game.
Especially so, since Sonic CD is kinda the reason Mania exists in the first place. If not for Christian Whitehead making a proof of concept for his Sonic CD remake and convincing Sega to publish it, we might've never seen him or his fellow developers work with Sega on future projects.
this video is very welcome! Sonic CD is truly one of my favorite video game OSTs of all time. here's my own personal suggestions for future videos! *possibly a series on 3D Blast's OST. Jun Senoue's work on the Genesis OST carried over and influenced Sonic Adventure, while Richard Jacques' tracks for the Saturn OST feel like a nice middle point between CD and R. *maybe a video covering the recently released Antonblast. its soundtrack being composed by an one man band (Tony Grayson, also the director of the game and voice actor of titular Dynamite Anton), pulls great inspiration from games like Sonic Mania, Adventure, or even at points Crash Bandicoot and Wario Land 4! my personal favorite track is the one heard in the second half of Bomb Candy Mines.
While I still prefer the JP originals, I think the Metallic Madness tracks are easily the most cohesive and deliberate sounding of the US soundtrack, all clearly setting the tone of their time periods and not just being 3 cool songs in a vacuum.
Ive only now found ur channel so Im sure you have been doing this for a while and gotten a ton of praise for it but I love the way you use the beat and notes to tell the story in there. Its just so perfect
I's so weird, I was recently re-listening too all the Metallic Madness songs (as well as the Mania versions) for the past 2 weeks and this pops up. Amazing video!
Sonic CD means so much to me, and your music theory videos have continued to show me a whole new dimension of this amazing game to appreciate. Anyone with a soul knows that the music rocks, but a keen ear like yours and the way you explain things so succintly helps highlight just how much thought and care was put into this soundtrack, and how it weaves into the gameplay and art direction to tell the game's story.
You know Alex Yard, your music theories explain everything to me, it all makes so much sense, I've been through countless of your music videos especially for Sonic 3 and Knuckles. I never used to understand why but... Something mysterious? Hidden Palace! If I ever was in Antarctica or the Arctic: Ice Cap Zone music in my head! (The original one from Sonic 3 that is) In a crazy metal fortress? Metallic Madness music in my head! In a volcano? Lava Reef music!! In a desert? Sandopolis Act 1, Act 2 for if I am ever in a pyramid! You explain everything on why they got the game music so spot on, and why I hear Green Hill Act 2 music from Sonic Mania when I am out enjoying a hike in nature in the sunset seeing animals running about, This was something that I always felt but never understood until you explained it all to everyone.

Dude I haven't commented on the other ones but not only is this one of my favorite soundtracks, games, and video series this pushes me to learn theory as an aspiring musician, thank you so much for these rad videos
You don't get to issue orders about which videos I make. You just get to choose which ones to watch. You're being childish and it's not helping anything. When you build your channel you can run it however you please. Reality check.
@ I can be certainly harsh. But it is generally only aimed at people who come onto my platform with requests/sentiments that I stop doing this or that. Those people don't get Mr. Nice Guy
Me (a person with no knowledge of music theory whatsoever) listening to alex explain complex music terminology: mhm yeah yup yep definitely i understand completely
9:19 Seeing that Present Sign show up is such a fever dream to me since it was the result of a request I made on Gamebanana. Too bad the mod hasn’t been updated for the latest version of the decomp.
Wow. All I can say is wow, that was perfect, unreasonably perfect, just like the feeling you get from the uplifting and yet calming good future theme. What a strong finish to my favourite Sonic game.
This was a great watch to start my winter break! There Palmtree Panic left and then if you're doing it zone by zone, I'd suggest Sonic 3D Blast. Happy holidays!
Another great video! I think I'm finally beginning to understand the concept of chords. And I love the Pac-Man reference. A delightful stocking stuffer! (I had to put some form of Christmas reference in here)
Metallic Madness Bad Future was the song that really made me love this game. This was the first sonic game i played and it was on my kindle as a kid. The music was awesome and Metallic Madness in particular caught my eye for how both the good and bad future mixes in jp just represent the look of the level so well.
I know nothing about music from a technical standpoint, and I have never been able to read or play music. I do really appreciate the content you're putting out though as I'm learning a lot about things I've heard about in Sonic music but couldn't process on my own.
Lol. He just hates Toby. I've made my peace with it, so should you. Yes he was outright cruel to him for what barely even was a homage, we should politely ask him to do a real SoJ analysis and move on, imo.
Not only are these a great educational tool (been teaching my GF bits about music through 'em,) but I've finally learned how to pronounce Calliope! For years, I've been saying it wrong. Really happy to see ya back on Sonic CD!
I personally really like sonic cd shame so many people don’t understand it, considering that this game is better played going to the past and go get the generators once you destroyed them go to the special stages it’s a nice loop and the levels design isn’t about point A to point B like start to goal
My UA-cam Music must have been priming me for this because remixes for this zone have been popping up for me a ton lately while at work, so it's been on my mind lately. Lez fuggin go.
I appreciate that the US soundtrack (or prototype/origins in the case of sonic 3) gets attention in these videos. they are officially vetted interpretations of the same levels, after all
Yeah, thats good, but im not sure thst you made this video. Description doesn't say "The ORIGINAL inside the music theory of Sonic CD's Metallic Madness" It just says "A look inside the music theory of Sonic CD's Metallic Madness". Your style seems to be very similar to some other peoples content. Why don't you credit them? I'm not pointing fingers, but I have zero reason to believe that you made this video. Alsowhy don't you show face in your videos? Maybe its because your not the one narrating it? Hmm... I guess we can all come to our own conclusions.
@@AlexYardZone Listen, I just don't get it. I love your videos, and they inspired so many of my OSTs, but that one video was awful & factually wrong. You actually accusing someone of stealing because of a single coincidence. I know that this is your opinion, which I still do respect. The biggest problem (in my opinion) is that you get very defensive over it and treat opinions of others like trash. You think that you are the only right one. This is very childish & ignorant. If I'm wrong, please do correct me, but this is what I gathered from this whole thing.

Having a new upload is essentially an early Christmas gift
I won't be asking for a present next year thanks to this upload
Great music theory video, as always. I'm excited because now we only have one zone to go before the Sonic CD set is complete: Palmtree Panic
What about Dub- [Little Planet]?
Metallic Madness music goes so hard and it’s why I’m glad of all the other levels to reincorporate in Mania, it was this one
Yeah for sure. I love how they even made titanic monarch apart of metallic madness. As it was supposed to be final fever. It gives a whole lot of world building and detail that people don’t often appreciate
I could never get tired of watching Sonic cd music theories no matter how many times I've watched them

Metallic Madness has some of my favorite songs in the JP OST, Glad to see you finally dissect these themes.

A two year long series finally over
Liked the video
I’ve been waiting on this one for a while
Ah, glad to see we have returned to our regularly scheduled programming, feels like home.
Eagerly waiting for Palmtree Panic.
i cannot underdstand almost all of this :)

this upload is like an early christmas gift
I don’t think the composers actually wrote this music at all
Lol
Remember, in Sonic CD, every current bad future becomes your past, so take another run through, and set the future straight
Getting closer to palm tree panic.

Metallic madness is such a crazy level music wise
Way past cool! (also first)
Edit: Woah, I thought I was the only one thought that 15:18 sounded like another song, But it was Uptown Funk for me.
Way present cool!
I know nothing about music at all, yet i still love watching these ty alex :)
Always a good day when i see one of these in my recommended
I never understand what you talking about but it's enjoyable
Most underrated channel on UA-cam
i sure do love metallic radness
Been waiting on this forever! Totally worth it!
17:00 oh man that is one of my favorite melodic devices... Play the M3 the first time, then the m3 the second. I adore that sound.
LETSGOOO ALEX YARD I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH METALIC MADNESS BEST LEVEL IN SONIC CD
FINALLY AHHH I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONGGGGG
Now we're talkin!
Love it!! I’ve been waiting for this one!

I’ve been waiting for Metallic Madness!

I was going crazy after all these years trying to figure out the differences between the US boss theme and the US final boss theme. Thanks
I appreciate that the US soundtrack (or prototype/origins in the case of sonic 3) gets attention in these videos. they are officially vetted interpretations of the same levels, after all
how can i watch this video you put so much work into when i'm catjamming the whole time xD
babe wake up new music theory video
Was sonic jumping on the spring right when the beat drops at 10:58 intentional? If so, a nice little touch.
7:30 robotnik gave me an ad :(
A mí también jajajajja
