[@ShelbyHarveyMusic]

This was such a fun one to make as I remember Joel being stuck on what the hook for the chorus should be when showing me the rough idea for the first time. I heard the line “face down” and the rest just kind of fell in line after that✨ it was truly magical. Thanks for listening and playing cassette beasts! xx

[@natefoldan]

After 20 hours playing I'm still not tired of hearing your singing! Great experience all around.

[@petergriffen437]

just wanted to say you did such an excellent job with these tracks and have an absolutely beautiful voice! I'm definetely going to have to listen to some more of your tracks!

[@OneWing3dWubz]

You did so good this always gets me so hype 😭🥳

[@markusdupont984]

The mix of your voice and Joel's music is sublime. On top of the game being incredible! Outstanding work.

[@danielstachowiak568]

The chorus kicking in every time i fuse is still one of the most fun bits

[@kyuura4324]

Ianthe and Wilma being the only fight in the game aside from the final boss’ second phase that has the lyrics playing right from the beginning was so sick

[@kittyshippercavegirl]

They're extremely powerful

[@Arannath]

It’s an arms race you say? Fight: Raise arms Fight: Sprint

[@stefahnkhalid6801]

I love how in the game the lyrics dont come in till you fuse it’s such an awesome touch ❤

[@drascin]

I'm a bit sad because it meant I basically never got to hear them, since I found it generally easier to remain in control of the battle with the two actions of my individual monsters. I may have fused, like, four times in the entire game. And it's a pity because this is some great music!

[@stefahnkhalid6801]

Literally! and just being able to fuse takes a couple missions or archangels, but wow at least you got to play it im still waiting for the 25th on switch 😭 I’m exited I’m just watching someone do a playthrough

[@Eacowind]

I just finished it on Xbox it was wonderful experience definitely a different take on the tactical monster catch game

[@somebody5224]

@@drascin With fusions it’s a lot easier to stack buffs with double cast since you don’t run out of ap as much and you don’t have to buff up two monsters at the same time, while also making the 50% heal technique twice as effective, I used the same for pretty much every archangel and so far haven’t had any problems except for the one that spams sleep because I for got to equip the resistance (and it was pretty obvious I should have, and I knew I should have because the game gives you the anti sleep skill in a chest in the dungeon) I always stacked the double cast, aoe, ap regen, life drain and heal over time abilities, which trivialised most fights up until now since I can just double strike attack while the healing keeps me mostly healed up and I also ran the ap refund skill to be able to afford the skill spam.

[@martinhazle8123]

​@@drascin I'm guilty for fusing and just listening to the music haha. Was it a waste of a fusion...?? Nah.

[@loganshockey4041]

I just became a Ranger Captain and this blasting while I clutched the battle with one Cassette left is a new CORE MEMORY. Fantastic game 10/10

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Yeees 🤝

[@christianjade5145]

beating ianthe and her wife with cat-5 thanks to a clutch conductive damage is a core memory for me

[@johnduncan9359]

"You didn't think you were the only ones who could use fusion did you?"

[@sambyrd1207]

i cheesed it with rewinds and burn effect.

[@Sainoupenia]

i had it hardest difficulty, (the one where everything levels with u) and accidently became level 90 by the time the fight happened. When ur that late game, the amount of stickers at ur disposal is crazy, so the fight became a joke with like 4 hits taken in total (also unitarget is busted lol)

[@MonsterTamerBloba]

Lyrics from the wiki Let’s go, let’s feel the pressure Stepping over the line Give it an extra little bit of a special little flick of the wrist (Oh it’s getting heated) Now you’re running behind Don’t stop don’t let them notice your moves aren’t quite in time Cause you don’t wanna wait until you’re six feet under (Get up get up get up) Face down We’re not kidding around What’s that sound? Your pride hitting the ground And I’ve come too far to let them down All in, we’re all here for the scene Where it seems, that it’s gonna be me Walking away with my new crown Leaving you here Face down The remnants of the ones who fell before us Make the ground that you fall on so (Get up, get up, get up) So get set It’s an arms race the wind takes us all on and ups the pace (Faster, faster, faster!) Get a little meaner You can get in my face Composing my demeanour Cause I’m meaner Than you, and you - you will be… Face down We’re not kidding around What’s that sound? Your pride hitting the ground And I’ve come too far to let them down All in, we’re all here for the scene Where it seems, that it’s gonna be me Walking away with my new crown Leaving you here Face down

[@gtg_vicki]

The soundtrack to this game is incredible

Hell yeah!! 🤘

True

[@quibjib]

correct

[@LyricMMX]

Lyrics written by Ear- May not entirely be correct (Strikeout text) Means Lyric's I'm unsure of Let's go, Let's Feel the Pressure Stepping Over the Line! Given an Extra Little Bit, of a Special Little Flick of the Wrist (Oh it's Getting Heated!) Now You're Running Behind! Don't stop, Don't let them Notice You're Moves Aren't Quite in Time! Cause You Don't Wanna Wait Until You're Six Feet Under, (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up) Face Down! We're Not Kidding Around, What's That Sound?! Your Pride Hitting the Ground! And I've Come Too Far to Let Them Down! All in, We're All Here for the Scene, Where it Seems that it's Gonna be Me! Walking Away with my New Crown, Leaving you here Face Down! The Remains of the Ones Who Fell Before, Make the Ground that You Fall On So, (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up) Get Set, It's an Arms Race, The Wind Takes a Soul on a -Faster?- Pace (Faster, Faster, Faster) Get a Little Meaner, You Can Get in my Face! -Posing in the mirror?- Cause I'm Meaner than You, and You, You Will Be- Face Down! We're Not Kidding Around, What's That Sound?! Your Pride Hitting the Ground! And I've Come Too Far to Let Them Down! All in, We're All Here for the Scene, Where it Seems that it's Gonna be Me! Walking Away with my New Crown, Leaving you here Face Down! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gotta say I love what I've heard of this games soundtrack so far, gives a heavy "The World Ends with You" Vibe to me which is always a plus. Can't wait to transfer my 5hr save from the demo to the Full Game on April 26th

[@RainbwRobyn]

"Posing in the mirror" should be "Composing my demeanor"

[@RogueOmega]

This might just be what my own ears are picking up, but I think it might be "The wind takes a soul on and ups the pace".

[@enlongjones2394]

I can see this song being used for an AMV set alongside an action anime. And that’s a compliment. I love this song’s energy.

[@Secret_Takodachi]

As a guy who usually only gets that "badass" feeling out of Mick Gordon sountracks & Dethklok albums this soundtrack has been a BLAST. ❤ YOU KICK ASS SHELBY!!! Great work Joel!

[@martinhazle8123]

Good choice on soundtracks too dude. Mick Gordon is great too but the cassette beasts soundtrack is just awesome

[@BradyRay_333]

I am so happy this showed up in my feed! I've now listened to all the songs from Cassette Beasts that I could find, many times, and am blown away. You and the vocalist have some magic here. I sure as hell hope you two work together again! I am going to buy this game. First game I have ever bought solely because of the soundtrack 😄

[@Zero_Shift]

1:25 is such a good point in the song, from the delivery to the meaning, to the tone and even the idea that the instruments get a bit more background and calm except the drumming, which is the heartbeat is crazy good. Im not gonna lie, the soundtrack is probably one of the bigger reasons this is so high on my list.

[@willlindell8904]

This game... This soundtrack... So good

[@quibjib]

true

[@Xirkitz]

YES MORE CASSETTE BEASTS MUSIC

[@clemence_cafe]

OMG thank you so much ❤ been waiting for the full version of this since the Cassette Beasts Starter Trailer! This game and it's OST are gonna be a blast

[@ValeriaPaper]

NEW TRACK DROPPED LETS GOOOO

[@Ursling]

Ah so excited to see this uploaded! Been looking to add this to my playlist for a while haha. If you see this LyricMMX, thank you for pointing me in the right direction! :)

[@LyricMMX]

You're Welcome.

[@donmorkip8236]

Just finished the main story of the game, few hours ago. You clearly have no ideas how the OST and these songs hitted me hard. Thank you for your work, the one from the voice actors and the singer. You deserve success and hapyness for the future. ❤️ (Also, thanks to the studio to made that too, but I talk about the OST right there. But yeah, they need their suceess too 🔥)

[@Carobou_]

I'm already hyped for the game, and this new track is really damn good, can't wait for the release!

[@Podderich]

Love it. Can't wait for diving into the full game and enjoy the music while facing down every obstacle in my way

[@LunaBianca1805]

That's retro vibe-y in the best kind of ways 🥰 Looking forward to both the game and more from the soundtrack ❤

[@kemeshiaedwards4879]

Game freak needs to be taking notes

[@juniorthelichch.]

First time I've ever regretted not being able to get a soundtrack when I bought a game, can't wait to pick it up so this can be my new walk to work mix

[@astralinadinavale]

absolutely LOVE this game's ost so far, i played the demo with a few friends in anticipation for the game's release and i've basically been listening to the tracks ya made nonstop since there's a lot of OSTs out there i truly love, but i can't think of any that have me compulsively jamming so frequently like this one does!

[@SesmuKing]

I played the whole game with vocals off so I didn't really hear the vocals version of this song until the end of the game. It made that fight feel really intense and now I'm addicted to this song lol

[@ashleylightheart126]

hearing this as you clutch a captain victory has no right feeling that good

[@azuarc]

Holy TWEWY! Wasn't expecting this, but thank you for sharing more music.

[@twodeeblue]

I only just picked up this game. Hot damn my man. Absolute bangers every single time. Extremely impressive. Thank you so much for the auditory experience you give all the players. I cannot express how perfect it is. My compliments to the vocalist as well. Bangers every hit. well done dude.

[@climatectrl3350]

Thank you for this AMAZING soundtrack. I get it stuck in my head all day, even at work.

[@in-craig-ible6160]

Best track in the game!

[@Helo960]

u know that feeling when you defeat gearyu and then ianthe has the unforgiving djinn entonic and this song just blasts. quality music to be tortured to

[@Stratelier]

In my playthrough, this was probably the 2nd-least heard vocal version, because I generally saved fusions for emergencies (Archangels, Rogue Fusions, etc). So it was quite special to hear it when facing Ianthe and Wilma. (Sidenote: I haven't done the rematches with the ranger captains yet)

[@Darkpyrodragoon]

My first playthrough the battle with Ianthe ended on Leaving you here Face Down. it also was such a difficult fight that i cheered quite loudly it was honestly such an epic moment that no other monster game has been able to give me. Good music elevates gameplay and you guys put this one on the moon.

[@Cryogenicmonkey]

Thanks for uploading this early! Loved hearing this song in the trailer.

[@tikki2340]

The little bit at the begging where the song is playing on the on-beat instead of the off-beat and it sounds so much more serious, only to flip all on its head. It makes me think of like you’re staring down the ranger captain trying to be all serious, but then one of you cracks a smile or snickers, and then you just let loose and have fun

[@brightboi4291]

"Its just a video game, the OST doesn't have to be anything special, just a melody & a few harmonies." Joel & Shelby: ✨🕺🧑‍🎤🎼🎶🎸🎤🧑‍🎤🎼✨💃

[@mander4531]

i swear this soundtrack somehow just gets better and better with every new song i hear and im not even that far in the game yet (only beat 1 captain and 1 archangel thats not the tutorial one so far)

[@Ar0474]

IM SO READY FOR THIS!!

[@pittstonjoma]

This one's a banger. Can't wait for the game!

[@BrianHopson]

This feels like it would be a great workout song.

[@landoftheninja]

No idea what this is or why youtube recommend it but it do slap

[@ge5510]

Barely winning a fight with this on the background is peak gaming.

[@joejorde6510]

This is by far my favorite song ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Hailstormful]

Ah, yes, the theme of "my noob ass getting clapped by weird goth lady"

[@kittyshippercavegirl]

Ianthe kicking my ass, the soundtrack

[@jackinthegame1990]

Love the Soundtrack so much.... kept me actually pumping in every battle :D

[@GameGodZERO]

Legitimately so glad I hadnt heard any of the music before playing the game cause they definitely wouldnt hit as hard, as well just going in basically blind and not even knowing there was a fusion mechanic

[@twisterapenas4727]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH T0T

[@NarcsisticX]

I had to put the game down a little bit to play diablo 4 but holy crap is CB such a breath of fresh air for monster collector games

[@SirPreyas]

Freckin cool song!

[@ROBDEWAND]

when you are doing the stand off whit the rematch of the first leader, because you didnt bring multy hit moves but rather dog years spam combo, so neither of you is dying fast and both keep getting healed and basicly undo the damadge that was durns till the nex cycle appears, but some misses on his end whit rng worked out well whit my you mis you get fcked strategy. took prob 40 turns to beat the rematch. Edit: had the same thing happen whit the sleep spammers, because i let my friend chose 3 mons this time so we didnt really had a strategy or then big damadge, the fights i did in solo again went like a breeze whit my bootleg aqua medusa and the big ap multistrike spam and double ap refund for the petrification fusion power spam, petrify shuts down pretty much any strategy these leaders have.

[@spych0367]

As cool as this game was you made it that cool be proud of you production work dude

[@Poptart21000]

I’m loving the music and the game itself!

[@da-BLT-man]

Amazing peformance!

[@kaz7886]

I just hear Kayleigh, it's her after all. I just imagine her singing while fighting.

[@SuperKratosgamer]

I was waiting for this one! nice!

[@PTrailblazer57]

Love this

[@ThomasWalters2469]

Great music and great game❤

[@7ANKOUCH]

Im loving the game and all of its new intrecets . It cane up with a lot of new ideas 👌👌👌cant wait to see what the future holds for this banger of a game ( Meredith 😍 )

[@quibjib]

when i get angry this music plays in my head

[@UmbraSicarius]

You did an amazing game on this game's soundtrack

[@solblackguy]

Anyone else try to time your fusion just before the lyrics kick in?

[@PapaPodo]

I really didn't expect the lyrics in this game to grow on me, but they have. I just wish the game, being music-themed, had a bigger soundtrack and let us pick between our favorite music genres to be used as the games' songs. Like I would have loved to pick Nu Metal as the soundtrack genre for my playthrough.

[@karmskorner6430]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LETS GOOOOO

[@MaskofFayt]

This music is solid, would have been cool if the music had a Side A and Side B to really hammer home the cassette theme or that the music itself was significantly more integrated since the lyrics kick in with fusion. It would be cool to have more nostalgia of what people did with cassettes like mixing partner themes with player or battle themes (mix tapes, physical remixes, etc), being able to reverse the tracks as an option (more of a gag about people playing songs backwards for 'secret tracks'), etc. a.k.a. more music and a sequel please and I'd love to see more experimenting with the theme deeper.

[@dijik123]

Bro ur music is solo good

[@dogo7002]

This song hits harder than a truck

[@johnnyhammerstyx]

Peak

[@gemodemplay415]

Where can we find the ambiental OSTs? Like the one in the mall, the one when you're camping and so on? I feel like I could listen to those to no end.

[@curlybrace4984]

God it’d be amazing if you put the lyrics in the description so we can sing along.

[@brightboi4291]

"Why do I hear boss music?"

[@tannerarmstrong1533]

boss theme?

[@Cryogenicmonkey]

Kinda, it's the Ranger battle theme.

[@dylanhess2672]

Will this one make it to spotify?

[@Sainoupenia]

i'm warning u theres a lot of spoilers in the comments here

[@ollyblbl752]

i'd really wish we could see the lyrics somewhere

[@brightboi4291]

I just realized that the instrumental sounds a LOT like Lemon Demon. Like seriously did Neil write this? /j

[@thegrimmreaper5871]

Are you going to post the rest of OST on KZbin

[@JarahKnuckey]

...As much as I love the game, Gladiola and Ianthe are things that I would never want to fight ever again. They were *not fun.* Especially that fucking Djinn Entonic that *loves* to confuse both party members.

[@subjectnivleis7572]

How long till soundtrack on cd and cassette

[@greninjaofthehiddenwatervi1026]

This might be as Good as Nexomon

[@CS0723]

Are you serious? It's way better, there's no question
