It brought my grandma back from the dead and was how I met my significant other of 7 years. This song changed my life, and when you listen to it, yours will too."

    Words cannot describe how wonderfully beautiful the Continent is. The transitions between verses are flawless, the bridge, while vastly different from the rest of the song, fit perfectly with the main theme, and of course every monster had a distinct part that sounded good on it's own, and simultaneously blended seamlessly with each and every other part. I especially loved Clamble's buildup into Repatillo's beat in the bridge, but that's just one of the many standout parts that compliment the song perfectly. Easy S tier, conversation over.

    I agree with your opinion on Plant island, I think it sounded a lot better back when it didn’t have Werdos and Dipsters on it. Without Werdos and Dipsters, I would rank Plant island A or S tier but with its current state C tier fits for it. With the addition of Werdos, Plant island’s song is just way too long now, it extended it a bit too much and it feels like most of the song is just the same 2 verses repeating and the Everything here is alive line is used too much.

    • @theoriginalalex
      @theoriginalalex  8 місяців тому +154

      i agree. it’s definitely one of those songs that didn’t have to be extended the way it was. i feel like when msm extends its songs, they should change which monsters play in each verse to keep them varied from on another. it’s a problem i have with how Gold Island was extended

    I honestly love this tier list. i love how in depth you went explaining why you felt certain ways instead of just saying its bad. im a bit dissapointed that some of my favorites; haven, air &, shanty werent higher but im okay with that. I got so excited when you were praising space island because nobody really likes space island for some reason and I absolutely love it. As a person who plays dawn of fire the continent has been kinda ruined for me because of how much you hear it (dont play dof its not worth it). I also really love cave island and it was awsome hearing someone praise it. other wise i completely agree with the list. good job on making a good list

    • @theoriginalalex
      @theoriginalalex  8 місяців тому +6

      i think what most people consider a Party is something a little more upbeat, like pop, future funk, edm, etc. they imagine monsters that typically always pop off, like Deedge, Repatillo, Floogull, etc. Party DOES have strong monsters, but they’re not as “upbeat” as they are on other islands

It was actually going to be called Vacation Island back then, which is why it sounds a lot calmer then one would think based off of the island name. It is crazy how much msm has progressed, I have been playing it since I was little. (ALSO SCUPS IS UNDERRATED!)

    The number of monsters make all the music feel so crowded.
    I loved the coziness of getting the violin monster on the original island back in 2016 or 2017 or whenever the game came out and feeling the whole track kinda coalesce more with each monster.
    The more monsters the more it sounds like them desperately shoehorning in extra layers of depth or unique sounds to make a crazy orchestra.
    Hearing that groovy dj with the keyboard swan and the singing bird on the ice island is also a core memory haha
    In comparison ig it just feels like late game stuff is too busy and like trying to tick boxes for completion.
    Im sure alot of ppl prefer that sound tho and power to them, and i suppose ppl make custom music with monsters taken out in order to fix that. U get my point tho lol.

    Nice list! I can agree with the majority of the ranking. The only one I’m mixed on is Celestial Island, that one will always be a D tier for me because of Galvana’s verse. I can’t explain it well but it feels like there should be more there.
    Also, I did NOT expect the shoutout, I’m glad you liked the remix!

    I dunno what it is about the Continent, but it feels like a musical reinterpretation of the prehistoric times. The calm life, the chaos brought by the meteor strike and all the ash settling to give rise to a new generation of monsters. Those are the kinds of visuals that this song brings about and despite all the new additions, none of them feel out of place
    Also, slifhtly off topic but I noticed something kind of cyclically terrifying about Starhenge from the lore perspective. The Celestial Island has all its elderly inhabitants turn into stone statues to survive the Henge crashing down, only to be revived as their most simplistic forms. But you can make them grow up. Does that mean Starhenge is gonna be rebuilt and the cycle is gonna continue? We also know the Islands are living creatures called Colossals (Colossi?) For the Main Islands and Titans for the Magical Islands and Seasonal variants and the description calls Enchantling a "Monster-Who-Would-Be-Titan. So do normal monsters just grow to become those immense beasts? Are all the islands going to die at some point?

    3:22 in defence of the lyrics… they’re bad… EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST VERSE, WOOO YEAHH BABY! Ahem, anyways, the first verse (starts with “Look at the stars”, ends with “Is it cold out?”) is great, hence why it is the only part used in the memes and stuff. So, for that verse, without the context of MSM (which is how most of us non-MSM fans first experienced it), it is quite scary in a very existential and off putting way. “Look at the stars in the big blank ink” immediately establishes the setting as a cold night, far enough from any large settlement as the stars are visible. “Tell me what you feel and tell me what you think” then establishes a theme of psychology as the singer is asking for your input (whether it’s your input on the stars, the singer themselves, or the situation changes depending on the context). “Is it cold outside?” tells us that it’s cold outside, establishing the feelings of eerie silence on a cold winter night far outside of civilization, you’re alone in the cold, locked away inside a small building. “Is it cold out?” establishes the idea that there might be something more to the outside, that maybe you’re not alone here in the snow, hence the repetition of questioning the cold. These lyrics come together to give multiple different feelings and interpretations depending on context. I feel as though it can apply to eldritch horror (stars and cold winter nights are very unsettling in a cosmic sort of way), psychological horror (asking what you think and asking questions about the outside implies someone you care for has gone outside in the cold for some reason), and probably other types of horror. It might not be scary in the Five Nights at Freddy’s Jumpscare Markiplier way, but it’s undoubtedly unnerving… if you remove every other verse because they’re so mid and remove all aspects of horror.

    I feel like I've been going insane from all my years in the msm fandom because no one else ever has problems with the Werdos, was such a relief to finally see them properly criticized, lmao. Although personally, I'd say Water Island is by far their best execution. Air Island's is cool in concept, but I generally can't stand Stooarb's voice (no shade to Matt tho) and "They Say that we are Monsters" might be my least favorite lyric, which is saying a lot. I like how in general, this video takes into account the evolution of islands overtime, as someone who's been playing since before Rare T-Rox, it's cool to see the entire history be acknowledged.
    Edit: I'd also shoutout Anglow on mythical a bit more. Yeah, the alarm clock bit is a little strange, but you can't discount what he adds to the penultimate verse. It might be mistaken for the castle, but that cool synthy bass there is him, and he really adds a lot to that part

You could do it island based and include how the sound animation and design of the monsters work and what are your favorite say too 5 per island. If you really wanted to spice it up you could not allow repeats across islands since there are a lot of repeats or only do the exclusives to each island.
