ARE YOU A DIRTY SKELETON LOVER? DO YOU LOVE UNDERTALE REMIXES? DO YOU WANNA HAVE A GOOD TIME?? well buckle in, kiddos, because this humble track right here is actually the BEST Megalovania remix out there AND I’M ABOUT TO TELL YOU WHY IN ENTHUSIASTIC BULLET POINTS (spoilers ahead for genocide / Bad Time route)
- first, this track isn’t what you expect. this track is sneaky. this track tricks you into thinking it’s slow and laid-back. the transition from “chill” to “literally on fire” is so smooth you won’t even know what hit you
- i.e. this track is Sans
- from a musical standpoint, this has really great pacing, and it’s mixed very well. nothing sounds off-balance, flat, or clipped, and it doesn’t end the same way it starts. that may not sound like much but trust me it’s important and good!!
- from a less musical standpoint, it sounds a bit like Daft Punk singing along to a Megaman game and I think that’s rad
- and ok holy crap guys. GUYS.
- listen to 3:11. listen to that one second very closely
- that’s Flowey’s laugh in the background
- I’VE LISTENED TO THIS PROBABLY 37 TIMES AND I’VE ONLY JUST NOTICED
- AND THAT’S NOT ALL
- from 3:12 on, Sans’ speech is part of the beat, which is hecka cool
- oh, and Flowey’s in there too
- and Papyrus, Toriel, Undyne, Alphys, everyone. even Gaster. EVEN FREAKIN GASTER YOU GUYS
- (SkyFoxx confirmed this in a comment)
- their voices are integrated SO WELL I just accepted the beat as a cohesive whole without question. listen closely enough and you can parse them all out, it’s amazing
- and lastly, that sample at the end. sweet mother of all goats, that sample is the final tasty touch on this cinnamon-buttersound pie.
- it’s also a fantastic reminder of what you have to do in order to hear Megalovania in-game in the first place.
- in the end, this track isn’t just Sans; it embodies him, everyone he’s fighting for, and the reason he needs to fight at all.
tl;dr, this remix is a friggin masterpiece and it seriously needs more recognition.
