Remember, these are all my opinion. Also, sorry if the sound gets too loud or quiet at times. I still haven't figured out how to balance the audio yet.

The reason why Valstrax’s theme isn’t as epic as the original is because you have to know that crimson glow Valstrax is not like the regular one. It’s a Valstrax that lost its mind from the sheer amount of dragon energy it’s dragon sac is generating. Dragon Element within the world of MH is mysterious and VERY dangerous which is why it’s mostly an exclusive ability for the elder dragons while only some of the non elders can control it. Regular Valstrax’s theme was like watching a comet soar through the beautiful night sky. Crimson Glow’s is like watching a comet crashing down to earth, causing mass destruction.

This is by far the most subjective and personal tier I've seen regarding themes, it's so different that I respect it gg man lol

I LOVE the buddy plaza theme, I think it's the best iteration of the "village theme" because it's so upbeat and makes me happy

Khezu theme goes hard tho

That 1 part in Ibushi's theme where the vocals go "SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH" is hilarious and easily makes Ibushi my persoanl #1

I'm surprised to see Nargacuga's new theme that low. It's my favorite version of it

This was really good editing for this type of video! Nice touch using a monster's corresponding equipment to fight it!

I may have arrived late but looking at the themes you like the most in general, you like the melodies that are heroic or the ones with big consecutive impacts like the trumpets, themes of grandeur and attack, while the more chaotic, malevolent and intriguing themes, so to speak, not so much, which most of Rise was based on. Red roaming roar for me is perfect, definitely my top 1 the way they represent the terror of the villagers when the apex arrive clashing with the bravery of the hunters is magnificent, it's as if the melodies were fighting just like us against the apex.

I still didn't watch the entirety of the video, but, personally... The Allmother is my favorite theme of the entire soundtrack, i have it on loop all the time at least once per day, i love it that much, and second, i will say that, The Flame of Peace is my second favorite in the entire OST, and the third one is... Well, Proof of a Hero. I'm loving your videos Frost, i recently whatched most of them in a small marathon, and the quality is 10/10

For me the Khezu's theme is the best.

The fact that the only thing separating a lot of the top tiers was just one small weird part shows that rises themes are pretty good.

I really love this iteration of Teostra's theme as it just sounds and sort of serves to be the closest sounding to the original theme of Teostra with the drums most importantly, you could quite literally recreate the KFC video with Rise's take on his theme.

I love this guy, keep up the good work!

How can you not love Mizutsune’s theme? Such a gorgeous monster

It's always difficult link images with music you did an outstanding job in this video, thank you

great video my guy!!! this channel deserve a bunch more of subs tbh!

The first part that you showed for counter signal theme reminds me of a part in Ibushi's and Allmother Narwa's theme

Thanks man, now I apriciate more some theme like kushala or narwa

There are only 2 MHRIse themes I hear everyday, they stay in my playlist: Allmother theme and Magnamalo theme. Btw nice list!

I absolutely love Cold Blue and Flaming Reds. Everytime I go into lava caverns to fight a Rathalos or Rakna Kadaki it just hits so hard

What Kushala Daora's theme makes me feel is unlike what any other elder dragon's gheme makes me feel. On some, it's an epic fight to the death. On others, I am fighting against a Dragon-shaped God. But Kushala's theme, specially in that violin segment, makes me feel like I its not a fight I should be a part of. Its chilling, quiet, slow, subtle but somewhat malicious. Just like hypothermia.

Onestly I was spending half of the video looking at it maliciously and saying "HOW DID U PUT THIS SO LOW AND Y THIS SO HIGH" but then I just thought that if the rise themes can vary so much up to personal preference then it means that it can satisfy everyone in some way + the fact that most themes where THIS close to top tier just shows how good rise themes are

Island, sandy plains and lava caverns are so much fun! also the fact that the last place is already a nice song goes to show how great the ost is.

Really looking forward to your sunbreak themes.

The sandy plain theme is soo good when you fight THE Diablos, the theme is just made for the guy

Seeing best buddies last place hurt....i use it as the main towns theme ;-;

I absolutely love the allmother theme, the harmonies in their voice is just perfect sends me goosebump everytime.

Rise was my first MH game - Mitsuzune and Sandy Plain theme for sure - Magnamalo is gr8 as well

Me personally I would replace Buddy Plaza Theme to Kamura Village Theme, after hearing it for so many hours I got tired of hearing it especially with the added vocals. I like the previous MH Vilage theme more without the vocals, I just feel relax and happy listening to Buddy Plaza Theme while watching my buddies train. This is absolutely well made video. Kushala theme tho just give me chills everytime it's that good.

Jeez fella, just sounds like ya hard to impress. Ain't wrong with that. I just loves most of the soundtrack in Rise mainly because I like choirs and vocal performance in general. All mother Narwa's theme, The counter Signal theme, and Magna's theme are some that I listens to regularly

I also changed buddy plaza when i realized i could change the bgm, it is now Tigrex theme

Its purely a skill issue for Narg's theme, the part you pointed out about the song specifically is why I love it so much, just get better ears. Edit:Alright, after having seen the whole video now, I hope no soul ever, ever passes you the aux cord, not even in the afterlife, you are forbidden from having control of music

Wtf. Nargacuga in the bottom? It's literally in my top 3 themes

Definitely late but must ask, where does the dango song rank on this list XD

Thank god Sandy plains theme was high, and the description for is perfect, "That bit", that one specific part just makes the whole song, Where wyverns go to die is great too

Khezu’s theme is the best one

I've heard a lot of pronunciations for Bazelgeuse but I think you may have just killed me.

Tigrex theme is basically Spear and Fang theme from Primal

I would like this list including the Sunbreak themes

What ticks you off on that first list of yours?

This is a great list, the only I disagree is Valstrax’s theme and Breath of Ire, but it is still good. I hope you also make one for Sunbreak with like Astalos, Espinas, and more

Sandy plains will always be #1 in my book but it's cool to see it peaked your top 10

when i was fighting apex Arzros for the first time i was sweating to a point where my own flesh would start to melt off btw great video :D

I think a huge change from mhw to mhr rose themes is that rise sacrifices the boldness world had for more graceful songs (and vocals)

If you ear well, the narwa and the ibushi have the 2 differents sisters for each one and the Allmother is the copbination of the 2 voices of the sisters

The amount of times ive heard people pronounce Tigrex as ''tea-grex'' is insane, you dont call a tiger a ''tea-ger'' do you? Get it right already, its been at least 15 years since his first appearance

Weird how different everyone's lists are. Overall i think what really got people conflicted was the lack of percussion & audio density in the remastered themes. Case & points Valstrax, Nargacuga & Mizitsune. Where's there umpff Capcom? I like how Valstrax got his extent but the whole theme is just missing something. The original got so much just right & when one of those just right things went absent it really shows. Tricks my brain into thinking there was supposed to be more. I love Rise's OST but i could only really get into them once i just accepted that they were going for entirely different feelings to other MH OSTs. Just like Iceborne, i had a pretty hard time adjusting to Glavenus' 5 gen theme. But once i mentally recontextualized theme I felt it actually went pretty well for Acidic Glavenus. To me Rajang & Tigrex ate the same. Tigrex was more than a bit odd to me but once i thought of Walking with Beasts or something with David Attenborough it grew immensely well on me. For Rajang instead of thinking of just a raging unstoppable monkey monster, i thought of a villainous monk or a monks chant of destruction. Some soundtracks just feel like they were to thematic & derivative for their own good. Especially the Wyvern Ride theme. A track so common to the game being so simple was probably good on paper but my Gog is it repetitive & intrusive to the hunts feel after a while.

Hmm, how strange, so we agree on a few things, but my main differences are: Swap Narwa and Ibushi's themes, I feel like Narwa's is greatly inferior, it doesn't have that slowly droning feeling of "I will decimate EVERYTHING!" That Ibushi's somber, yet declarative theme has. I'd put Teostra RIGHT next to Rajang's, this version of Teostra's is the worst to me, it's behind the Gen 4U (older gen) versions, with World still being the best version for me. Rajang needed a glow up to make him FEEL more mystic since they were going with a more mystic variation of his theme. Valstrax's theme, is a top 10 for me regardless of the feeling of a downgrade.

Kushala is one of my fave musics, as much I might miss the MH2dos chime from the MH World variant

20:00 As a wise Bazelguese once said : LETS FUCKING GOOO!!!!

I think they tried to make tigrex theme more terrifying but this is the result these implies to the other theme of monster and making the music less intense than the fight did not fit very well

Buddy Plaza right off the bat. Wow That's the only one that I noticed and enjoyed

Crimson glow should be higher, it symbolizes a more aggressive Valstrax, while the old was more elegant i guess

This video was pretty entertaining to watch, I disagreed with a lot of it. For example, I really liked the vocals in rajangs theme because I think they fit with his bizzare almost humanoid form if that makes sense. Still though I’m glad you gave kushalas theme some proper love and attention and it was nice to hear all of these themes and your opinions on them

“Buzzelgus”

I also changed the buddy plaza theme almost immediately 😂 I also really dont know why i dont like it too much either.... kinda weird

Personally my favorite track in rise is teostra because it's so fuckin groovy

rise has so many banger themes that i can’t even make up a list 😭

I'm not sure if you forgot this one or you weren't including all of the tracks, but you didn't rank "Rise of a New Hunter." This theme plays when you customize your character. Actually, I think it's really just Rise's menu theme, but I would have liked to know what you thought of it.

19:15 the ahhh was perfectly timed

I actually disagree with this quite a bit. The pet area and training area are high tier for me... Man, you did Narga dirty too. Also... Shrine ruins theme is just kinda better than all other area themes (excluding volcano cavey place). There is so much to say... And you absolutely butchered bazelgeuse's name. But yes, I understand these are all opinions and we are all entitled to our own

Can't wait to see the Sunbreak tl

How the hell is Narcacuga below the wyvern riding theme???

I think besides personal preference, what you're listening on makes all the difference. I don't play Monster Hunter without good headphones. Those bass tones really make or break a song for me. For example the Brave Hunter hub theme I never get tired of listening on headphones, but I do if listening on a tv because it's so flat and the bass tones literally make the song and it's missing.

Super late finding this video but I have to say that for me I feel completely opposite from you in the serpents themes ibushis is my favorite theme in the game I love allmothers but that doesn’t mean I don’t like normal narwas it’s just my least favorite of the 3. Great video by the way love people showing their opinions

Bewitching Dance is #1 for me😊

Meowcenaries theme goes so hard

Why the buddy plaza remindes me of the astera theme?

Every is number one for me. I don't hate it because I Know how long to take

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However: Red Roaming Roar deserves more, sure it’s not for everyone. I agree it’s very chaotic and all over the place, however it fits the Apex monsters perfectly, and after a while of not enjoying it, you warm up to it and for me, the more I listen to it, the better it gets. The part where to beat drops, it feels like the very heavens are screaming out in pure terror of the Apexes, it’s so fast and so powerful. It’s just heaven

Thanks to you I can only hear "she is a mommy" now and I don't know if I should love or hate you for that.

I like narga's vocals but I don't like the instrumentation. A perfect mix for me would be world's narga's theme with rise vocals

Funny enough, I just don't understand why people like the original Valstrax so much. Like I listen and compare it and I just can't like it over Rise's Valstrax. The old one just feels so slow. After listening to the reasons, is really surprising how different tastes some people can have. A lot of the times you said "This ruins it for me" I find myself thinking "But that's the best part!"

Kamura and Allmother are the best for me in rise

To be honest Rajang theme was pretty low for me but it grew on me

I was kinda expecting Khezu's theme to be last, for shits snd gigs

It kind of hurt, as a series vet, to see vocals added to all themes. It made the elder/endgame themes hit way less. Chanting used to be the scariest shit ever, now every monster has chanting and vocals, its not nearly as effective. New players dont knoe how hard we shit ourselves when dire miralis theme hit 🥺😔

theme i hate the most is definitely khezu’s theme other than that i think everything from rise is great

I see you are a fellow Chameleos enjoyer, very nice.

24:27 Hehe aerial hitboxes go BRRRRRRR

"this part of the theme completely ruins it for me" *sounds exactly the same as the other versions of the theme* "ew."

Valstrax has the "exact" same them just a pitch difference

I hate the wyvern riding theme entirely because it halts any monster or area theme you’re listening to, the song will be building up just as you get on the monster and all that anticipation is gone as those generic drums kick in Also, the way you pronounce bazel is hilarious, in a good way

Could you rank all gu themes

When people slander themes: “Hooray! HOORAY! That was great! All those wrong notes made it sound more original”

My favourite is Khezu's theme

He misspelled kamura 😢

Oh damn that is a long list.

18:01 WELL ITS SO MUCH BETTER IN FRIKIN WORLD

This video makes me indescribably furious

Anyone know what those armor pieces are?

My least favourite song in the Rise OST has got to be the wyvern ride theme. It breaks the flow by interrupting the battle music with no option to to disable it.

What about keuzs them

Maybe she is a mother maybe in the future we will fight more monsters like... whatever that is 31:36

You forget to list Khezu theme in top 5.

Kezhu's theme should have made the list.

Did he just said that Valstrax GU theme is the best in the series? Has this guy never heard Phase 4 Shantien? That is the best theme in gaming period

WHOAH wait I've never heard anyone else dislike the buddy plaza theme! I hate it so much and I don't even understand why, I think it's the choir of kids? It's almost creepy in a way, idk.
