![]() ![]() Metallic Madness Good Future: The JP version sounds wayyyyy too in your face for this to really work. Maybe the US version is better but it's so close it basically doesn't even matter. It's a tossup, and both are easily top-tier tracks in their respective versions, if not the entire OST. Despite the absolute jam that is the JP version, the US version just about equals it with its subtler mood and more interesting composition. Metallic Madness Bad Future: SONIC, DEAD OR ALIVE, IS MINE. The US version.I see what they were trying to do there but it's too slow to be of much interest. Metallic Madness Present: The JP version is really fucking good, still gives me goosebumps and is in contention for best track across the entire Sonic CD OST. Not quite as good as the Bad Future but still has the same general atmosphere and as such rules. Stardust Speedway Good Future: The US version again, has the better track. The JP version isn't even close to matching it. ![]() Easily a contender for the best song in the entire Sonic CD OST, a masterful composition. Stardust Speedway Bad Future: People who shit-talk the US version here are absolutely dead wrong. ![]() Maybe the JP version ever so slightly but it's basically like comparing a 95/100 to a 94/100. Both are absolutely amazing, and I can't pick a better one. The JP version is an absolute jam while the US version has some of the best vibes the tracks have to offer, very 80s. Stardust Speedway Present: Both versions are really solid, easily top-tier tracks for both versions. The US Wacky Workbench future tracks are fairly similar but this doesn't change enough from the bad future, kinda the same issue I have with Collision Chaos. Wacky Workbench Good Future: Again not a huge fan of either version but I think the JP version is better. Wacky Workbench Bad Future: Both are pretty good, the US version is surprisingly dancy and I might slightly prefer it but it is a toss-up. Wacky Workbench Present: I'm not a super huge fan of either version but I think the US version is better. Quartz Quadrant Good Future: Where did the energy of the JP version go? The US version is a slightly modified Bad Future theme and as such holds up well. Quartz Quadrant Bad Future: The JP version is better here (and a top-tier track for the JP OST), but the US version isn't any slouch either, with a real nice down-tempo atmosphere. The JP version sounds a bit.generic unfortunately. Quartz Quadrant Present: The US version is better here, bit rockier and with some other influences peeping through. Tidal Tempest Good Future: I think I like the US version a little bit better but it's quite close. It's no doubt the better version, but the US version also brings that slow kinda doomy atmosphere that I think the JP version lacks. Tidal Tempest Bad Future: The JP version is easily in contention for the best song on the entire OST, such a malevolent vibe with an infectious lead melody. ![]() Tidal Tempest Present: How the hell is the US version not more talked about? Absolutely the better version, way funkier and with a bit of energy. Not a huge fan of either, maybe the JP version ever so slightly but it's a tossup. Both are easily top-tier tracks.Ĭollision Chaos Good Future: Again both pretty equal. Again quite subtle, but I can't deny the jam of the JP version. Palmtree Panic Good Future: They're honestly about equal? I might slightly prefer the US version but they're both good tracks.Ĭollision Chaos Present: Both versions give a way separate vibe, so I can't really judge them in that sense but all things equal I like the JP version better.Ĭollision Chaos Bad Future: Both tracks here absolutely slap, but the US version is so much more poignant and is in contention for best track on the US OST. Palmtree Panic Bad Future: I think the US's subtler vibe fits this better here, and I think the US's composition overall is more interesting. Palmtree Panic Present: The JP version is a fair bit better here, got some more energy that I think fits an opening level, but I can't deny the solo in the US version. The JP OST is definitely more traditionally "Sonic" if you catch my drift.īut now because I have nothing better to do, I'll go through them all. So when I was younger (about 11-12) I pretty much universally liked the JP OST more than the US OST. ![]()
