Sonic Adventure OST Appreciation

[213372bu]

Posted some Shadow the Edgehog tracks in the Metal thread, but it really got me thinking about how much I appreciate the Adventure games' OSTs.

It has it all: hilarious vocal tracks, vocal tracks that break into "post-irony" territory, some pumping instrumentals, iconic themes, and more.

Don't know the etiquette for OST OPs, but here are some spoilered examples

Thunder, rain and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamour, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?

All the steps we take, all the moves we make
All the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone
Who are we? What can we do?
You and I are same in the way that
We have our own styles that we won't change
Yours is filled with evil and mine's not
There is no way I can lose

Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go!
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this'll last!
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others!
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do!
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright

Ancient cities blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger

I don't know what it can be
But you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick
You won't have it your own way

Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, and you will see!

If it won't stop
There will be no future for us
Its heart's tied down by
All the hate, gotta set it free!

I know it's one way track
Tell me now how long this'll last!
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do!
Gotta open your heart, dude!

Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go!
I know it's a one way track
Tell me now how long this'll last!
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others!
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do!
Open your heart, it's gonna be all right!

Open your heart
Open your heart
Yeah, yeeeah...

I got to see Jun Senoue and Crush 40 perform at Magfest last year... while I don't mind Sonic Adventure music (I'm more into the Genesis chiptunes, especially the MJ influenced Sonic 3), I was extra hype at this for some reason. Tons of energy live.

Meteor Herd is awesome since that's the first time I recall hearing 2-step in a video game.

Crush 40 was playing at the venue across from where I work, so on my way out of the parking lot I blasted the Knuckles theme and got thumbs-up from the people in line

Hell yeah, 2step had just hit Japan pretty hard beforehand and playing that level I was like "Whaaaaaaaaa"
