Jhulian: "The final boss must have a crazy backstory."
The final boss: "Played college ball, you know. Could've gone pro if I didn't join the navy."
The MC: “At some cushy Ivy League school!”
Final boss: "Try the University of Texas"
Final boss: "Could've gone pro if I hadn't joined the Navy. I'm not one of those beltway pansies"
"I could break the president in two, with my own hands!"

Cool part of the game is that the vocals kick into the final phase of the boss fights, definitely worth a playthrough.
That's the maniac agenda mix
Which is also annoying because that mean you get to listen to them for like 30 seconds, but they’re 2+ minutes
@@tartipouss Chadstream Sam: i got you fam
@@GachaLord What I like about Sam's fight its that it becomes instrumental only once he loses the sword
@@GachaLord That's why it's the best fight !
Tho I wish the song was a bit longer because ending the fight before the song end feels wrong
The lyrics of Rules of Nature are brilliant if you understand the lore. It's the first boss, a massive bipedal walking tank that Raiden fought in MGS2. The references to the starving predator paint a picture that while this skyscaper sized weapon of mass destruction may have been the apex predator then, Raiden dispatches it like it is absolutely nothing because it is considered a relic and cyborgs are the new apex predators.
Just a little correction! Its not the first boss! Its a tutorial boss ( max0r)
@@Nerim89 I understood that references (Captain America)
adding on to this, the lyrics kick in when he stops a massive sword from Metal Gear Rex, and the RULES OF NATURE bit kicks in when he flings it into the air and cuts it to pieces
Even better, it's the *upgraded* form of the final boss from the game Raiden debuted in when he was fully human, and now that he's a cyborg its successor is just the tutorial boss to him.
Collective Consciousness fits 1:1 with All I want for Christmas. You can't unhear it now. You're welcome.

It has been done, the mashup is called "Collective Christmas," czcams.com/video/Q5T-epVCE6E/video.html&ab_channel=Thedarkestcornerofmyconcience, and it's an eerily accurate depiction of the commercialization of Christmas.
"Stains of Time" is an incredibly sad song when seen in the context of the game. Monsoon, whose theme it is, grew up under Pol Pot and remembers
The Killing Fields, the game takes place in 2018, and he would have had to be between the age of eight-ten to make conscious memories while still having room to grow up physically. Monsoon is thus most likely somewhere between 47-49 and he's by far the one boss you fight that has augmented himself with cybernetics the most, he's also adopted an extremely nihilistic view of the world. And the song makes it clear that he did all that to suppress the trauma that was inflicted on him. His trauma even comes back to him if you defeat him fast enough as he in his moment of death will go, "NO DON'T!" He's the only boss who has a reaction like this as the others react with an expression of "inconceivable!"
Heh, memesoon
Actually, there is a chance that when you beat him he goes "Do as you please!" when youre chopping him up, not sure if it is like a time thing or any other criteria that affects which one he says.
@hittite_gaming It actually has to do with how well you do/score in the fight.
@hittite_gaming If you take no damage while fighting Senator Armstrong he will try to recruit you again.
@@lordzamasuvegetablackfusio9773 not just score, if you emp, you lose the line as well. So you need to do it without gadgets
Fun fact: All of the lyrics in the various themes of the bosses also refer to the character journey of the protagonist, with him acknowledging the evil he fights and how close he really is to it, and how this understanding brings him closer to having peace with himself and the life he's lived. It isn't a rejection or an acceptance of fault, but acknowledging those parts of himself and resolving to use them for a worthy cause.
The exceptions to this rule are Jetstream Sam in mission 6 as the lyrics drop when he drops his sword and Sen Armstrong in Mission 7 when you drop yours
except armstrong theme is only about raden acknowledging how similar they are and theres no other way to end this but theres hope to who ever win will actually change and find a better way
Standing here, for what I understood, is 100% a song of the thoughts of riden in the senator.
That also would apply to collective continuous, meaning Armstrong doesn't actually have a theme
@@henriquemedranosilva7142 yes because all the bosses never talk about themselves and they're plans Armstrong does so instead we get a song reflecting raiden thoughts
@@henriquemedranosilva7142
Would that be the case, the lines:
"Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand" make little to no sense
It is the senator who just fucked up and can only observe and hope for the best, not Raiden.
Plus, you know: "blood stained sand", come on guys, the dude is liberian.
Julian, you listened to the wrong version of "The Only Thing I Know For Real". The vocals in-game are different
The entire song is wrong, not just the lyrics. Its like two og songs playing simultaneously, one of them with a half-second delay.
Yeah it's the demo version of the song somehow.
Demo lyrics are better, but the original music is better. Demo lyrics+original music go hard together
I'm pretty sure they aren't different.
@@The_eggy_one Nah the version he listened to was way off. The in-game version is better IMO.
Its a shame you didn't listen to the DLC boss theme, The Hot Wind Is Blowing. Its an aboslute banger like the rest! I truly recommend listening to it in your free time
DLC Boss theme relates to that cyber dog and the Final DLC Boss
@@christlisnull2750 And? Your point being? This is a soundtrack reaction, not a look into the lore.
It's "The Hot Wind Blowing", no "is"
@@christlisnull2750 and?
No@@TheNomad94
Metal Gear Rising: Revengence can legally be classified as a musical, as all major confrontations between the protagonist (Raiden) and his major foes (Metal Gear Ray, Bladewolf, Mistral, Monsoon, Sundowner, Jetstream Sam, Metal Gear EXCELSUS, Senator Armstrong) play with full lyrics at the heightened points/climax of each confrontation, and both tell the story of the foe and relate to Raiden in some way (save for Ray and EXCELSUS, which is Raiden's honest and cynical view of the world respectively). Further, there are three normal battle themes for regular encounters, all of them also having lyrics, and tell the story of Raiden's growing internal struggle, resolve, and determination.
MGR is a Rock Opera in the best way possible.
True.
I normally don’t like musicals but if MGR is a musical then it’s the only one I like (well besides Hamilton because i actually liked that one too)
@@idonteveniowanymo you should also try out REPO: The Genetic Opera or Sweeney Todd. I personally enjoyed those two.
By that logic you could also classify it as a musical puppet show with audience participation, because the characters are facsimiles voiced and controlled by humans who you don't see, and you as an audience member get to control one of these facsimiles during action scenes. One major flaw in your assessment though is that typically in musicals the characters perform the songs in character, in scene, not an unseen narrator.
@@TripleBarrel06 Thank you, fun murderer. Hope you had fun murdering the fun.
The soundtrack was designed to progressively mix based on the gameplay. If you see Rules of Nature during gameplay, you'll see what I mean.
The manic agenda mix, or platinum mix, is basically just the album release of the vocal soundtrack.
There's some good gameplay mixes out there, particularly the ones by MonoChromium, that let you appreciate the instrumental, and hit you with the lyrics really well to feel super hype, though yeah, Has to be this Way effectively comes as is in the game, so it stands strong as a single.
Ikr? My favorite music that progressively mixes during gameplay is the fight with Sundowner where he equips his scissor blade. 😊
@@RickySama240 best part of it that you can skip it
@@RickySama240 "I am fucking Invincible" best part
Collective consciousness wasn't a remix
It's just that good
The maniac agenda part just means it's the version with lyrics cus there's also instrumental versions
All of the game's songs are remixes, which is an idea that came about later in development when they were revamping the tone and musical identity they wanted the game to feature. Only some songs were remixed by Platinum themselves from when they didn't finalize cooperation with Maniac Agenda but still needed to put out a playable demo, the rest were done by them, all of the in-game vocal tracks soundtracks are carefully remixed from their original mix, which as of today are still unreleased with no plans to ever do so. Only some incomplete, WIP versions of the original mixes ever made it public due to their unintended inclusion in the aforementioned playable demo.
All of the Maniac Agenda mixes on Spotify are the ones in-game. The rest sounded so weird because they were a little compressed, demo versions, or flattened and litereally unmixed by the bad audio quality.
His crazy backstory was that he played college football, University of Texas, he could've gone pro if he hadn't joined the Navy
sussy jack
Rules of Nature has to be the best from a gameplay point that 1st boss theme being purely instrumental till Raiden catches a giant robot mech arm and fucking throws it screaming "RULES OF NATURE" honestly it's apart of the experience.
True, when i playes for the first time that hyped me big time
Fun Fact: the grand majority of these boss themes have a instrumental section in normal gameplay and when you get to the final phase they'll drop the lyrics in, it makes certain songs hit harder. Case and point, "I'm my own master now" has only the howl and the instrumental, showing Bladewolf "The robot dog" is subdued and subservient to desperado (the villain organization) and when the Lyrics drops, it shows Wolf isn't fighting for them, he's fighting for HIS freedom, and his true primary directive, live. So he breaks his metaphorical chains and Is "his own master now". Hell Red sun is my absolute favorite for how you make Sundowner's lyrics kick in with the COLDEST transition for a boss I've seen in my life.
Which one? The "I'll split you in two" or "I'm f**king invincible!"
Ah, the good old days where swearing is still acceptable as its part of the character's personality
@@Shuwa217 the "I'LL SPLIT YOU IN TWO!!" With the lyrics coming in immediately after. Just how fuckin hard that goes that it shows he was fuckin around, just playing with his food like a cat. Then Jack denied his fun and he just goes, "A'ight I've had enough" and the lyrics drop like it's someone warning you how much you might have fucked up if you were a regular person. Granted Raiden DGAF and wins but still that drop just SENDS me every time with that boss fight.
Maniac Agenda Mix was I believe the mix made for the album. The rest of the songs you listen to in this video seem to be game rips. Except for The Only Thing I Know For Real where you somehow managed to find the unfinished original beta version that was made during the game's development? Really not sure how you found that before the ingame version or the album mix.
Fun fact the man who made the music for this game also made the music for TOONTOWN ONLINE!
i highly HIGHLY recommend reacting to some songs from a game called ULTRAKILL (and yes the music is as over the top as the title) a few of my favorites are "Versus", "Death Odyssey", "Altars of Apostasy", and "Tenebre Rosso Sangue" ect ect there is a ton of good stuff i left out here. Plus its still being developed now with "The World Looks White, The World Looks Red" coming out before the update even drops. this game is almost entirely made by one guy both gameplay and music and its amazing the work he puts in
This songs are also my favorite but add ORDER
@@sus_joe1698 And the Death Of God's Will of course.
im personally more of a Duel guy, but versus is pretty cool too
Tenebre Rosso Sangue is fr a masterpiece
Maniac agenda is i believe the nickname for either the band or player in the song - it's official don't worry. Also, you've missed one DLC boss theme - a hot wind blowing, and in my opinion it's the best one, so i recommend checking it out despite being left out like that.
It's mixing made for the out-of-game listening to these tracks, since in-game versions are made to be looped, start out without lyrics, and etc, and so are the platinum mixes, although thoes are community made (i think).

We try to justify
All the things that have occurred!
The Cyber dog is a companion, but doggo is playable in his own DLC, and includes its own track, relating to both it and the boss relation to eachother (Being similar, you can figure out from the lyrics)
I really is a sin that these songs vocals are so short, but its mainly because the bossfight is mostly done with the instrumental of the song as the BGM, and kicks RIGHT into the chorus for the climax of the fight.
Now for some small notes:
Glad you like the cool robot dog in "Im my own master now", because that's actually the DOGS theme song when you fight him. It's a robot with an AI that Raiden makes question the reason its fighting, and after beating it up you take him as your own and he follows you for the rest of the game. Thinking in the context of a wolf, the lyrics fit a lot better as its about a robot finding it's freedom.
You got Stranger I remain pretty spot on, although because its metal gear, its about war. The boss in question is a woman who has been a killer since childhood, and even after deciding that killing was her life's calling, she found herself lost until she decided to fight for the ideals of someone else who wanted to start a revolution.
Red sun has pretty beautiful sounding lyrics, but in reality it really shows how twisted the mindset of the boss is. Firstly, while a red sun is common in a sunset, it's also common after, well, war. The "Paradise" being talked about is a battlefield, and he's describing how beautiful it is, that it's "natures sacrifice". Sort of a contrast to "rules of nature" describing war as a means to survive, its viewing war as something that needs to happen as part of nature, and something that should be praised.
Also while i know this is a patron request, if you ever get a chance to do more, there's "hot wind blowing" which is an extra boss battle that gets overlooked a lot, and also the ending theme "The war still rages within", which actually got a music award all its own when the game first released.
I've seen some confusion about the '... Mix" in the song titles.
All of the final songs are remixes of the original beta version, which you can still find on youtube. Yes. These are sepcifically the ones for out-of-game listening but they are still the same versions of the songs.
Never clicked a video so fast when I saw the notification
❤️
Fun fact: the vocalist for A Stranger I Remain is the lead singer of Kidneythieves! This is her second time singing for a game, because she plays NG Resonance in Deus Ex 2: Invisible War.
"Red Sun" is a weather phenomenon in the Eastern US that is a result of wildfires. This fits the boss Sundowner who often goes around and starts metaphorical wildfires, "All I'm saying is...give war a chance!" - Sundowner.
I think part of the mixing is because it's designed to be background music, which you don't want to take away from the sounds and dialogue of the game... If the music pops too hard then it could get in the way of other sounds... I think that's why anyway... It makes the most sense to me, but I could be wrong.
Fun fact about collective consciousness, it fits one to one with all i want for Christmas
I smell max0r subscriber

I was sad that the Guilty Gear songs were over, but you came back with these bangers!
There are still plenty Guilty Gears songs he hasn't reacted to tho 😞
You missed Khamsin
Another boss track that playing as Bladewolf(I'm my own master ost) faced and fought, please give it a solo review react too
It's called
"The Hot Wind Blowing" soundtrack, an Underrated song you will definitely enjoy
*Wrong "The Only Thing I know for real" version btw. And for some reason nobody ever mentioned it lol*
The songs in this game have deep metaphorical meanings. "The Only Thing I Know For Real," is a conclusion of the development of a boss called Jetstream Sam. You encounter him two times before the final confrontation with him. In the first he mocks Raiden, in the second he taunts him because if he can make Raiden break it justifies him breaking, in the third and final confrontation he takes Raiden seriously as someone who can do what he was unable to because he was mentally weaker than Raiden. This song is about him having reached a state where he no longer knows who he is because everything that he's told himself to justify his outcome has all broken apart due to Raiden being in a similar situation to his and keeping fighting while he gave in.
Not to mention raiden needed full-on Cyborg enhancement to even stand a Chance while Sam only has one arm with cybernetics
@@mr.whocares8787 And that arm actively hinders him. It's mentioned in the game that Sam never got used to the cybernetic arm. So he kicked our ass while being a regular human WITH HANDICAP.
@@sebastianb.3978 to be fair Sam was already a master swordsman when raiden was still busy doing naked cartwheels and went through Arms Like someone with allergies goes through tissues.
@@mr.whocares8787 I had succesfully banished that part of Raiden to the Shadow Realm...
Fun fact: The beta version of "A Stranger I Remain" has COMPLETELY different lyrics.
Another fun fact: The lyrics in "Red Sun" (the part where it goes "When the wind is slow...") kick in right after a phase 2 cutscene where the boss goes "I'M FUCKING INVINCIBLE!"
This game is truly fantastic, in all ways. If you want some sick metal OST, check out Metal: Hellsinger! (Recommend This Devastation, No Tomorrow and Dissolution)
"IM FUCKIN INVINCIBLE" goes so hard.
"It has to be this way" is the only song in the game that relates directly to Raiden, but it's also all about the final villain. According to the dev team it was made to be both a character theme and the main theme for the game itself.
Each other song speaks about the "villain" first and then goes back to reflect on Raiden showing their similarities. But this song speaks to Raiden first and shows his similarities to the "villain".
Another curious detail is Collective Conciousness whole thing, the song is made to represent the ultimate evil, the machine controlling society that Raiden has finally found. But there is a secret to this song, a detail that I cannot even explain here for it would heavily spoil an enormous section of the game.
That the final boss fight is in two stages and the 80 foot tall robot is the weak phase?
@@christophervanoster nah that's not it, it's about the story elements
Rules of nature also refer to both bosses and Raiden: "The hunter (RAY and GRAD) or the agile prey (Raiden)"
True, first time I fought Ray on normal (my literal first fight), I only had 0.5% health left. Imagine if you failed the QTE and had to restart the entire fight...
This was so fun to watch, I love you excited and into the songs you are! So much passion coming from you
The music "The only thing i know for real" was changed in the tone, while "collective counsciousness" was the normal music, not the mix
All the songs are sang from the perspective of the bosses as if they are singing it and usually about how they view the player and their inner thoughts and feelings
I knew he would fall in love with Red Sun's opening guitar.
No Hot Wind Blowing? DLC Boss theme, sadly many forget about it's existence
"Hot wind Blowing" isn't even on the on official sound track!
When you play this game for the first time and you finally get to Moonson´s final phase is just life changing
Because It's so good to see people listening to this soundtrack, sometimes it always feels like it's the first time I'm listening to it like the person
I'm here again 🇧🇷🤝
The way the dev's match the music with the gameplay moments is top-tier, goosebump central when the fights get crazy.
I heard somewhere that the vocal tracks are pushed back in the mix so even when they kick in during a boss fight, the instrurmental drives the energy of the fight, which from my experience works pretty well.
Edit: The music is progressive in the game, so when the combat reaches peak intensity the track switches from insturmental and it adds the voice which serves to heighten the experience. I really wish more games did this, because it's so good!
THANK YOU JHULIAN!!! 😊🎉

@3:10 the fact you're using the lyric video is so good thank you
as far as I know platinum mix is official remake
Platinum and Maniac Agenda mixes are both official. It varies from theme to theme. The "unofficial" mixes are the originals of the themes. For example, A Stranger I Remain is a Maniac Agenda mix of the original version that is often referred to as a "demo mix", whereas Rules of Nature is a Platinum mix of the demo song Locked and Loaded
Those songs hits 1000 times harder when you play the game and realize how mastermindful the are implemented into boss fights
in case anyone hasn’t mentioned it, the hound robot does join you and you can play as him in DLC!
This was great! I hope to see a reaction to The Hot Wind Blowing too, someday! A Soul Cant Be Cut would also be cool.
The bosses all have relatable stories to Raiden (lots of them are soldiers, lots of them get manipulated, they are cyborgs, they all are fighting for a cause and are conflicted etc) so they can be interpreted both from the side of the enemy and the side of Raiden.
Yes, you can kill a boss here in less than 2 minutes
And also, i think that mix is just the original
You can beat sundowner is 1/2 second
@@adrianraulskrobek5868 my favorite is Mistral.
Me: *Parries once*
She: *Instantly goes to 0.1%*
I’ve watched at least 5 videos of people reacting to all boss song from MGR, and I’ll do it again
I'm also looking for new reactions every day😅
the thing about the themes is that although they are for the bosses, the lyrics also relate to raiden if you know about his whole story, also the lyrics come in at the climax of the fight so the most part youd be hearing an instrumental version of these songs, also also the lyrics are supposedly the thoughts of the bosses which is why its a female singer for mistrals theme and male for the rest, and lyrics also dissapear in certain parts of some boss fight when the primary weapon is lost. also also also, in it has to be this way the line "i carved my own path" signifies it to actually be raidens theme and not the person you are fighting if you take in mind the lyrics being thoughts which i think is pretty neat.
The sheer intensity and energy in their music is mind-b.
the flute in sams's theme ties it all together
lol the final boss is a senator and believe it or not twitter is a plot point in this game this game goes from twitter to war economy as some of the main plot points its so dumb and great
Thats just Metal Gear
not twitter, just the internet. do not take max0r's video at face value.
If you reacted to some of the boss cutscenes it would be really cool!
"Set to the tune of a hardcore rock soundtrack made by the world famous ToonTown Online composer for the express purpose of killing anyone above 40." -Max0r
Rules of nature kinda hits different when you're RKO-ing a whole ass mecha
16:34 The instrumental version plays in a loop until you reach "Phase 2" of the boss fight, in which the lyrics start playing immediately, and it's the most amazing feeling.
Stains of Time is my fav it's such a bangerrrr
"The hot wind blowing", about which everyone forgot again: 😔😔😔
It's a little sad, but thanks for the quality review, it was interesting to hear from you
The music plays with just instrumental until the last phase of the boss when the lyrics kick in
The Maniac Agenda Mix is actually just the album release, it's the main version.
You play as the robot dog in DLC
and the boss fight the final song plays for goes exceptionally hard so that probably helped
Collective Consciousness Maniac is the official soundtrack, so there is no remix that you are thinking of.
Theres actually one more theme called “the hot wind blowing” from one of the dlc’s if you want to check it out
You listened to a mash-up of both the beta and final version of "The Only Thing I Know For Real". Which is not a bad thing, they sound really good together.
This is kind of funny, but I think you actually listened to an upload of "The only thing I know for real" that is playing both the beta and in-game version of the song at the same time lmao. It surprisingly works though?
Arseneyo
This is the channel I recommend to anyone who just wants to hear the themes of the bosses Cute video, well done because it has original themes that are better than the edited versions that are in an infinite loop since we don't spend time with Gameplay 😊🎉 like i love reaction🇧🇷
for i’m my own master now, i recommend listening to the version with the acoustic guitar in the beginning of the song. makes the song hit 10x harder
the version of collective consciousness is actually the one you hear in game
One thing to have in mind is that Yes every single music is about the bosses. But every single boss has one thing or another that connects to Raiden. That is what makes them compelling that in one way or another you can see a bit of every boss in Raiden.
If you liked the drums on the last couple songs, you should look into the pre synth versions. The drums slap EVEN HARDER in them.
12:25 I don't know how you decypher the lyrics to the story but you still do it somehow lol, kinda like how you did Zato-one's theme lol
The Mixes are just the second part with the lyrics btw, because ingame there is a non vocal version and for the second phase it's a lyrical version
Jhulian did you know collective concousness fits perfectly with the only thing i want for christmas just as a joke you sould watch it in your free time.
Honestly you should give mgs a try. It's super cheap on pc (like $5) and it's also really short (around 8h).
It's probably one of the best action games ever made.
the way you heal in the game is by ripping out your oppenent's spines then crushing it in your hands for the "electrolytes", it brutal but awesome
One of THE best soundtracks.
Any one of these could hit the billboard top 10.
Especially, "stranger i remain"
the best ost boss, menn i hope some new game this year have this bangger
You should also listen to “Hot wind blowing” this is a dlc ost that is quite a banger
The thing I love about mgrr music is it hits hard the lyrics in game only start at a certain point In the fight at the perfect time and all songs tell a story
All of the songs are meant to represent the boss you are fighting and provide backstory
It doesnt really give a backstory,it represents their ideology
@@TheJonkler1 Actually i think i can be both .
All these songs are the boss's themes because they're isnight into the boss' beliefs and persons. The last one, It Has To Be This Way, is the one exception as it is Raiden's theme and a look into him at that moment. It's also one of the two unique themes in the game as unlike every other boss fight in the game where the lyrics only kick in during the third and final phase of the boss fight, It Has To Be This Way and The Only Thing I Know only play when Raiden and Sam (to their specific songs) are holding their sword.
All of them in one video🙏🙏🙏
7:50 your comment about relating the lyrics to the main character is actually a very good observation. Each of the boss theme’s lyrics relate to both that particular boss and to Raiden (the main character) at that particular point in the story. It’s a beautifully poetic use of music and symbolism.
You should definitely play it!! It’s an amazing game
The final song is actually ot from the final boss but from sam that is why the music stop when you loose his sword, the song thta is heard when you fight sam is the one from the protagonist because raiden is nor the true name of the protagonist and the part "i even forgoten my name" gets that
These vocals fit
the most hyped and crazy first boss soundtrack that ever existed.
Wow you nailed the mistrale interpretation
It has to be this way is like, peak boss music design. The instrumental just screams final showdown and the lyrics are perfect simple as they are.
Meme's Jack! The DNA of the SOUL
the maniac agenda mixes and platinum mixes are basically the original, the "the only thing i know for real" is different that you reacted to
18:06 very wise decision, that guy means business
Bladewolf and jetstream sam are dlc characters. Their individual missions are free to play and worth trying as each are wholly unique in fighting styles
