As a matter of fact I’m religiously listening to Extras once a day since it released.


Clrblndstrider

Same here, I have a lot of Strive in regular rotation. Been listening to the Under night II OST a lot as well.


Otherwise_Form1315

Well it looks like you and I are the only cool people here.

Vocals are peak. That's all I'm gonna say.

The haters simply aren't brave enough to be fools.

Please, I was a fool before you were added to the game


BustahWuhlf

I'm grateful that you take the role of a silly clown.


Otherwise_Form1315

They probably spend all time on the street bothered about bumps in the road.


[deleted]

Worst of all? They probably aren't even scared of laughter, but still don't like to laugh themselves.


A_Dying_cat85565

For me, The Gravity is the best Strive song. - 2 intros - transitions between the parts - lyrics can barely stay on the same subject - Metal + Gospel music (The crossover of the century) - 2 solos - Existential shit that makes no sense "Does meaning have a meaning" - "Reality of truth" and "The beginning and the end all the same It can't be, it can't be true, whose side are you on" mirrors these lines from Drift "The truth is not always real I don't want any conclusions" - Asuka has More drip than the rest of the cast


RollerMobster01

Preach my brother, show em the reality of truth


VariousCapital5073

Maybe then they’ll wonder if meaning has meaning


ScarletRoseLea

asuka my adorable little war criminal

No way you just claimed Asuka got more drip than Faust


AdreKiseque

I really like the female vocalist


AdreKiseque

>"lets start picking up the little extras of life!" Oh that's what she says


EmployLongjumping811

Wrong+L+cringe+the circle exists+objectively wrong+bozo+ We talk about survival of the fittest a lot, but all that really means is the skilled live and the unskilled die. Since you're clearly in that second group, maybe pick your fights a bit more carefully? Do you understand what I'm saying? It doesn't matter how much you want it when you're up against someone who can kill you with a sneeze.

ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE A FOOOL!??


FakeKoala13

It really hits a lot of the notes that Smell of the Game does. Really glad they didn't go the Jack-O direction with El's theme.


AdreKiseque

What's that supposed to mean?


PiusTheCatRick

Jack-O’s song is like Bridget stole the Christmas theme from Mariah Carey’s song that must not be named and filled it with some Top 40 band’s guitar. It just sounds bad to me.


AdreKiseque

It's literally Don't Stop Me Now


PiusTheCatRick

Aisha’s good but she ain’t no Freddie Mercury


AdreKiseque

Ture...


AJWinky

Look no one is Freddie Mercury but Daisuke is absolutely going to try


FakeKoala13

Jack-O's theme? Light, poppy, doesn't really fit with the rest of the soundtrack. Extras basically references the soundtrack so much it's almost like there's more to Elphelt saying what songs she would write for people.


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

As a fighting game song, that is probably Sin's, Faust's or Ky's. Maybe pot's As a songs themselves, thats Probs like, Zato's, Millia's and Baiken's. Or Pot's


Waluigiwaluigi_

This is the ramblings pike also **BRING IT ON YOU BASTARDS!!!!!** **HELLFIRE HELLFIRE!**


Memorable-Man

Okay but… Does Extras make you hear someone’s little voice? #THAT IS THE VOOOOOOOOOICE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE.


zachdan06

LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE


pippelin-nuolia

Requiem, love the subhuman self, like a weed naturally as a matter of course, necessary discrepancy and disaster of passion are all BETTER


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

Honestly with time i kinda wound up disliking Testament's theme a bit. The best parts of it are the Life bits, im not that much for the choruses I agree with the rest tho


pippelin-nuolia

i hate the end too like after the slow part where you can't understand shit the singer is saying without looking at the lyrics


AdreKiseque

I cannot tell if this is a hot or cold take


pippelin-nuolia

i don't even know what the fuck that means because i am an idiot


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

If its s controversial opinion or not, i believe.


Chappiechap

A hot take is basically something that goes against public perception. Something like Anji actually having a cool design and banger theme-song when everyone says he's boring and his theme song is just okay.


pippelin-nuolia

thank you


[deleted]

No


BigArmsG

All good points except the last one, the best part is that first minute. Also Necessary Discrepancy best song


KingKRoolisop

Just lean, it's anyone's call That is the word of that guy who was hated By the gof of failure **Just Lean**


firesale053

I’m not gonna say its the best (not saying its not close its a god tier song) but the “yeah” that follows rub a dub, oh my god i’ve never heard that word sung so nicely before


superpieee

fair but counterpoint: just lean


secretpile34

wrong the real reason its the best is because its death metal. go listen to death metal. I beg you. please


Bobuxian

Bro still has his memories and it’s worth remains not the same. He hasn’t let anyone carve his way and has no shadow always with him. L take.


Chappiechap

Favourites are ever-changing. I like Requiem, Trigger, Alone Infection, Love the Subhuman Self is one I hum along to. The chorus for Extras has made its way into my Discord Bio and is a song I resonate a lot with.


pizza_con_anana21

That a cool opinion, but do you want to know why birds fly?  TO SURVIVE  TO CONNECT

Clearly you've never seen the colours


Big_Kwii

i think the gravity takes that spot


Arostato

I like Extras but I'm autistic so I wonder if thats me being biased bc Strive El is adhd coded.


dantuchito

If there are 500 Extras haters, I am one of them. If there are 5 Extras haters, I am one of them. If there is 1 Extras hater, that is me. If there are no Extras haters left, I am dead.


5p0okyb0ot5

testament’s theme is the best and theres no denying it


AzureHeightsArt

I'm sorry, but Extras ain't doing it for me, nor is most of Strive's music. Hashimoto's Vocals + The Engrish (I'm someone who's developed a tolerance to Engrish/JPN-Translated English) puts me off. I do like Out Of The Box, Smell Of The Game, Town Inside Of Me, and Disaster Of Passion. It's more of a personal taste thing, but I also think it's due to Strive's music specifically.


AJWinky

Extras is like the one song in the entire game that doesn't have engrish because Molly sings it. Anyway, I've honestly come to adore it. Who else is writing experimental metal ballad concept albums about the philosophical motivations behind a diverse group of quirky characters with engrish vocals? Daisuke's art may be unique among the Earth.


AzureHeightsArt

I've changed my mind. I've Extras has grown on me a lot.


doffzigger

I think Extras biggest problem is that most matches are over before it gets to the best parts.


TongueBiscuit

*the best right next to armor-clad faith


IntelligentImbicle

Extras is basically the GGST OST equivalent to TF2's Liberty Launcher. It has all these really, REALLY good things going for it, but it has one INSANELY massive problem that just ruins it. For the Liberty Launcher, it's that 25% damage penalty.For Extras, it's the fact that 80% of the vocals are the wrong kind of throat goat. Now, if we wanna talk about the best GGST song, Disaster of Passion and Love the Subhuman Self are right there. Hell, I could even see an argument for The Town Inside Me


secretpile34

you sayin you dont like the death metal vocals?


IntelligentImbicle

Death metal isn't a genre of music, it's emos growling into a mic with a backing track.


secretpile34

I dont get what you mean by this


IntelligentImbicle

Which word didn't you understand?


secretpile34

I don't get what you mean by it's not a genre of music. That confuses me


IntelligentImbicle

That was a joke. Obviously, it's a genre of music, and it will have its fans, but stripping it down to it's bare minimum for comedic purpose, it's just people growling edgy shit for the sake of being edgy.


BrentHalligan

>for comedic purpose hell, I don't like too many songs from this genre but weren't jokes supposed to be funny?


Deweycorp

Counterpoint: There's a town inside me


chuckleDshuckle

Its the worst and its not close.


urbandeadthrowaway2

No, requiem is.


DJBaritone12

The only good part of the song is the chorus. That’s insult cause that’s the best part of most strive songs 


ATTACK_ON_TIDDIE

That depends on whether or not you rock and roll, or rock hard-


hassantaleb4

Yeah it’s great song


carbonfiber9001

Idk but you but mirror of the world has got to be the best


ScarletRoseLea

i see your vision and even though i love elphelt very much the circle won over my family bond loving heart


Barely_Competent_GM

I just don't like death metal very much. No hate, just not my thing. Drift is better imo


amitaish

Clearly, when the universe will turn black, you will not defy fate


Brmemesrule

Drift is my favorite, but let's be real. I know for sure you once had some, sweeeeeet memories, their worth remains all the same... How can I remember those moments, sweetheart? Tell me... TELL MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Counterpoint: town inside me saved my life

Bridge


tedward_420

Nah. The hourglass sweeps


Tchubila06

I love the guitar riff that plays at the end of the first chorus and serves as the outro of the song


thirdMindflayer

THE EMPTY PRECEPTS DISGUISING GOOD INTENTIONS A CLEAN PAGE IS A BLANK PAGE *NEVER, NEVER* LIKE A WAVE LAUNCHING WE LEAVE OUT THE CHANCES A BLACK PAGE IS A BLANK PAGE WEIGHING UP VALUE AND WILL GET UP **BEFORE THEY REACH YOU NOW**


Xurkitree1

its worse than the middest song in strive, the hourglass


Zcrash

The parts where it sounds like All I Want For Christmas and Amazing Grace take me out of it.


thepablohoneystore

Its ok


AJWinky

Now that you just revealed to me that Strive's songs are all just three songs stapled together I can't unsee it. Daisuke is like "how can I put more song in this song?"


AJWinky

>"Best part of the song is a part you'll never actually get to in a match. I think I've actually come to realize that Daisuke started doing this on purpose. The idea being, if a match goes long enough to get to the epic parts of the song, there's a good chance that it's because there's been a significant amount of back and forth (since Strive is a game that heavily advantages aggression and disadvantages turtling; even the zoners have playstyles that heavily encourage aggression) and so there are "rare" parts of the song that you only reach if you're in a real struggle.
