    pizza tower's use of sampling is incredible, but nothing in the ost is as off-the-wall or ingenious as unexpectancy part 2. it manages to feel out of place in a way that just fits so well. does that make sense? well, neither does the fight, or hell, the whole game, but it slaps all the same.

    The Part 2 of Unexpectancy is where you face off against a psychotic living cartoon who wants nothing but to torment you whilst also just goofing around the entire fight and not actually taking your attacks seriously. Truly a fitting song for such a crazed character.
    "Comically" overpowered characters that could solo their respective universes with ease but don't because they just like fucking around are my favorite type of character. Pizzahead from Pizza Tower, Plastic Man from DC, Impossible Man from Marvel, and the best of all; Takaba from Jujutsu Kaisen.

    Unexpectancy is such a fantastic theme and fun fact it's actually a theme that was originally scrapped from an older game that Mr Sauceman was helping with. Its awesome he gave the song another go and all parts are something truly amazing.
    Also for a recommendation from the game, if highly recommended Tombstone Arizona, it's completely unlike the rest of the games track and has some Castlevania inspired bits in it's making.

    Unexpectancy part 3 gives me so much goosebumps.
    Just the noodling. That buildup. And you see Peppino standing there about to lose his goddamn mind...
    You think you're about to do a boss rush, but it turns out to be a boss massacre. It's a power trip. Watching Peppino beat up Pizza Head is the same feeling as watching him beat your boss or your annoying neighbor.
    That chiptune and guitar sounds so powerful. It's the satisfaction of going Ultra Instinct and Plus Ultra all at once. Or the final scene in Stardust Crusaders where Jotaro beats the crap out of Dio.

    The interweaving you mentioned for part 2 always seemed like the composer's way to representing the final boss's temper and how it contrasts with Peppino. The final boss has the manic sampling of a 1920's song that straddles the line between playful and violent, while metal guitars and drumming highlight the sections representing Peppino. Brilliant sequence either way

    Part 3 uses melodies from previous songs and situations theyre used in that illicit a sense of power, chiefly the theme for "Lap 2" runs of a level.
    When you hit Pizza Time, its a mad dash to the escape danger.
    When you hit Lap 2, you're actively challenging that danger and daring it to stop you.

    My favorite part of Unexpectancy 3 is the leitmotifs of other level themes. Namely Oregano Desert/Oregano Mirage. It gives me goosebumps

  • @HittingBandy
    @HittingBandy Рік тому +29

    Unexpectancy is split into 3 parts because of the boss phases and, in my opinion, the mood of Peppino during the battle. The first part is basically your climactic final boss as Peppino faces down the very character that wants to destroy his pizzeria. The second part is when the true mastermind appears, being a goofy, rubberhose 90s character, it is also shows in Pizzahead's attacks.
    The final part is Peppino's anger finally at his limits as Pizzahead literally pulls out the previous bosses from wherever they were at the tower and breaks every boss's mechanics in the game by just punching the living crap out of the bosses, ending in him sending a barrage of punches at Pizzaman so fast and hard, they start flying up to the sky where he then uses Pizzahead as a literal projectile to destroy the tower.

    My favorite part about unexpectancy part 2 is how much it fits Peppino and the final boss. Peppino rage and frustration is clashing with the happy jaunty themes of the boss.

    I think my favorite part of Unexpectancy has to be the train horns in part 2. I don’t have much musical expertise in writing, but the train is so pointless and random that I always listen for when it comes back. This is actually something done a few times in the soundtrack, the other notable example I can think of is Monkey sounds in ‘Trees on my pizza’

    A little fun fact about Unexpectancy part 1: It is actually a remix of a very old track the game's composer made for another project, with the track known as "Betrace - Calculator Fight". It really shows how much the composer's skills have improved over time if you compare the two.

    You’ve probably already seen something saying this, but Unexpectancy Part 2 samples a song from the 1920s called “When You Get What You Want, You Don’t Want It,” which is very fitting for the character you’re fighting in the boss, which is quite cool.

    During part 2, while I don't remember the exact commercial name, the voice clips come from an old commercial that talked about selfish kids, claiming how just as kids get something they want, they no longer want it. The clips used make up the "lyrics":
    You want
    You don't want it

    The song they sample in part 2 is a song from the 50s called “when you get what you want you don’t want it” and the way it relates to the boss fight (specifically phase 2) is very interesting, but I’m not the most qualified to describe it (and I’m on mobile, so typing is a tad difficult) I recommend the comments on the video of the song, they explain it very well! Long story short however, the phase 2 boss is this cartoony character called pizza head who’s attacks involve frivolous discarding of items, and most of the levels could be interpreted (at least in the higher floors) as businesses he started, then abandoned

    You know what this reminds me of in a way? The Devil went down to Georgia, especially guitar hero three’s rendition. Starts off ominous and foreboding, transitions in the middle part with a more deranged variant, and finally to a more optimistic finish. And they both tell a similar story in that progression. Part one beginning with a foreboding presence, the devil in one case and Pizza Head in the other. It then transitions over to the More deranged part two, where either the devil plays his violin/guitar solo and Pizza Head is revealed to be a psychotic lunatic controlling a machine while jovially laughing at the suffering of those around him. Part three is where the hero shows that the villain was messing with the wrong person. One case being when Johnny shows that his violin skills were far is superior to that that the devil’s, and the other being where Peppino snaps and single-handedly takes down all of pizza head’s minions.

    Unexpectancy goes from "I really shouldn't be here" to "i don't know what the fck is going on " to "I am going to beat the shit out of you" which is why it is my favorite track in the game because it does such an amazing job at telling the story of the boss battle AND backing the player up. It first establishes the oppressive atmosphere of the boss fight while also mirroring the player's expectations. It then turns into a song that completely subverts the player's expectations, much like the pizzahead reveal, while also reminding the player that they're still fighting the final boss. And finally part 3 subverts the player's expectations one final time by backing up Peppino instead, essentially turning into your boss theme because by this point, Peppino is pissed and the player already knows how to beat these bosses (easily) and they're probably going "I don't care, I'll just do it again." And it transitions from a sort of "get out of my way!" Feeling to "it's just you and me... but not for long."
    All around one of the most thoughtfully composed tracks I've ever heard.
