PS: Homestuck Vol. 9 is out! Go listen to it!

Our Heroes:

I'm confused and this looks pretty boring. Why should I read any further?

Good thing this topic will make at least two people happy, because I expect it to be a complete bomb otherwise!

And now, time to talk about serious things for serious people: Vol. 9, great music or greatest music since Vol. 4?

At Austin, Atlantis.

Every kind of HS song around has had a solid entry so far, except vocal, and I'm not even a 3rd through.

Every song so far has been good in fact, except GameGrl but that doesn't count.

The music in Vol. 9 is great. I particularly like the new version of "I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew".

Also, I noticed that there is at least one free song on this album already. Skipped over listening to it but thought it was interesting that it is free already.

Ugh, A Little Fight Mewsic isn't that Nepeta battle theme Rad teased like 8 months ago.


I thought Catapult Capuchin was the Nepeta battle theme.

Also, I had been hoping that they'd make a GameGrl song. And it's everything I'd imagined it would be and more.

Yeah, not all of the things Radiation posted on his tumblr make it to an album, unfortunately. The Lord English strife theme is another one that is sadly missed. It makes sense that it wasn't completed, since a direct fight isn't really going to solve anything from a story standpoint, but it was still a great song regardless.

Edit: For those that never heard it, this is what I'm talking about:

It's just Doctor played really fast.

Some neat references here and there though. Like how "Expedition" is a remix of "English" in disguise.

Eh, I never really think of the new releases as "The best album" but I think this along with Volume 7 are at the top of my list. This is all subjective though, so really who gives a ****.

From what I've heard, that bit at the end of Descend was never a song in the first place and Andrew asked him to make a full version for Jade: Enter, so Umbral Ultimatum IS the full version.

As for Spider's Claw:

Ok, some of the last songs are pretty awesome(Noirscape, full version of Taste for Adventure), so I think I'll bump this up to high tier personally.

Saying anything here can match up to songs like Cascade, Descend, or Rex Duodecim Angelus though? Nah.

@Nogoodnamesnow

Like I said, that melody is just Doctor, and Umbral Ultimatum is mainly a remix of Courser.

I could have sworn he mentioned it on his blog and even gave it a name at one point but I couldn't find it under the "music" tag and I'm sure not wading through 100 pages of Radiation rambling. Maybe I mistook it for something else but I was pretty sure when Umbral Ultimatum came out people assumed it was the full version and Radiation said no? Ugh I can't remember. Jesus H. Dick, Jade: Enter happened a little over a year and a half ago. :|
