Words cannot describe how wonderfully beautiful the Continent is. The transitions between verses are flawless, the bridge, while vastly different from the rest of the song, fit perfectly with the main theme, and of course every monster had a distinct part that sounded good on it's own, and simultaneously blended seamlessly with each and every other part. I especially loved Clamble's buildup into Repatillo's beat in the bridge, but that's just one of the many standout parts that compliment the song perfectly. Easy S tier, conversation over.

[@mrchung]

No, its not over.

[@Percival_S]

I agree with your opinion on Plant island, I think it sounded a lot better back when it didn’t have Werdos and Dipsters on it. Without Werdos and Dipsters, I would rank Plant island A or S tier but with its current state C tier fits for it. With the addition of Werdos, Plant island’s song is just way too long now, it extended it a bit too much and it feels like most of the song is just the same 2 verses repeating and the Everything here is alive line is used too much.

[@theoriginalalex]

i agree. it’s definitely one of those songs that didn’t have to be extended the way it was. i feel like when msm extends its songs, they should change which monsters play in each verse to keep them varied from on another. it’s a problem i have with how Gold Island was extended

[@Ninja_grasshoar]

true, the gold island song was extended was way to much and what they should of done is extend the ending.

I never really understood the “it doesn’t sound like a party” criticism for Party Island when the Mammott verses 100% sound like something from a kid’s birthday party especially when quibble kicks in. Goofy and bombastic.

[@theoriginalalex]

i think what most people consider a Party is something a little more upbeat, like pop, future funk, edm, etc. they imagine monsters that typically always pop off, like Deedge, Repatillo, Floogull, etc. Party DOES have strong monsters, but they’re not as “upbeat” as they are on other islands

[@GlitchyCrimson]

Hyehehe, Wheezel, Deedge, Wubbox, Blowt, Sooza, Phangler, Anglow, Whiz bang and Hoola need to be on Party Island if that’s the case.

[@GooberSmoobert]

I honestly love this tier list. i love how in depth you went explaining why you felt certain ways instead of just saying its bad. im a bit dissapointed that some of my favorites; haven, air &, shanty werent higher but im okay with that. I got so excited when you were praising space island because nobody really likes space island for some reason and I absolutely love it. As a person who plays dawn of fire the continent has been kinda ruined for me because of how much you hear it (dont play dof its not worth it). I also really love cave island and it was awsome hearing someone praise it. other wise i completely agree with the list. good job on making a good list

[@theoriginalalex]

thank you!!! also for Space Island, i’ve seen a majority of people rank it really highly, but don’t talk about it much because it’s from Dawn of Fire..

I perfectly agree on your perspectives on light island. It is an amazing island that is S or high A tier in my opinion. Also Party island is alright. It was actually going to be called Vacation Island back then, which is why it sounds a lot calmer then one would think based off of the island name. It is crazy how much msm has progressed, I have been playing it since I was little. (ALSO SCUPS IS UNDERRATED!)

I think Cloud Island is based on a song that our bass clarinet had as their solo.

[@cataddict_]

The number of monsters make all the music feel so crowded. I loved the coziness of getting the violin monster on the original island back in 2016 or 2017 or whenever the game came out and feeling the whole track kinda coalesce more with each monster. The more monsters the more it sounds like them desperately shoehorning in extra layers of depth or unique sounds to make a crazy orchestra. Hearing that groovy dj with the keyboard swan and the singing bird on the ice island is also a core memory haha In comparison ig it just feels like late game stuff is too busy and like trying to tick boxes for completion. Im sure alot of ppl prefer that sound tho and power to them, and i suppose ppl make custom music with monsters taken out in order to fix that. U get my point tho lol.

[@AzuRemilia]

I dunno what it is about the Continent, but it feels like a musical reinterpretation of the prehistoric times. The calm life, the chaos brought by the meteor strike and all the ash settling to give rise to a new generation of monsters. Those are the kinds of visuals that this song brings about and despite all the new additions, none of them feel out of place Also, slifhtly off topic but I noticed something kind of cyclically terrifying about Starhenge from the lore perspective. The Celestial Island has all its elderly inhabitants turn into stone statues to survive the Henge crashing down, only to be revived as their most simplistic forms. But you can make them grow up. Does that mean Starhenge is gonna be rebuilt and the cycle is gonna continue? We also know the Islands are living creatures called Colossals (Colossi?) For the Main Islands and Titans for the Magical Islands and Seasonal variants and the description calls Enchantling a "Monster-Who-Would-Be-Titan. So do normal monsters just grow to become those immense beasts? Are all the islands going to die at some point?

I know it’s second to the sounds usually but I’d love a video on the designs of monsters in msm. You could do it island based and include how the sound animation and design of the monsters work and what are your favorite say too 5 per island. If you really wanted to spice it up you could not allow repeats across islands since there are a lot of repeats or only do the exclusives to each island.

[@RaffyTaffy14]

there's probably too much for me to say, so I'll just say that wublin island is probably one of my favorite islands and I love how it was the only island that I was actually there for from start to finish speaking of wublin island, does anyone remember rareblin's old videos with fan-made rare wublins, or is that just me

[@theoriginalalex]

you actually reminded me of those on a comment a while ago

[@RaffyTaffy14]

@@theoriginalalex i wanted to rewatch them when i got back into msm roughly a year ago and was devastated to see that they're all gone. funny thing is that i still remember the rare dermit's design and sounds

I find the illustration of Pompom comforting Scups adorable in a way.

3:22 in defence of the lyrics… they’re bad… EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST VERSE, WOOO YEAHH BABY! Ahem, anyways, the first verse (starts with “Look at the stars”, ends with “Is it cold out?”) is great, hence why it is the only part used in the memes and stuff. So, for that verse, without the context of MSM (which is how most of us non-MSM fans first experienced it), it is quite scary in a very existential and off putting way. “Look at the stars in the big blank ink” immediately establishes the setting as a cold night, far enough from any large settlement as the stars are visible. “Tell me what you feel and tell me what you think” then establishes a theme of psychology as the singer is asking for your input (whether it’s your input on the stars, the singer themselves, or the situation changes depending on the context). “Is it cold outside?” tells us that it’s cold outside, establishing the feelings of eerie silence on a cold winter night far outside of civilization, you’re alone in the cold, locked away inside a small building. “Is it cold out?” establishes the idea that there might be something more to the outside, that maybe you’re not alone here in the snow, hence the repetition of questioning the cold. These lyrics come together to give multiple different feelings and interpretations depending on context. I feel as though it can apply to eldritch horror (stars and cold winter nights are very unsettling in a cosmic sort of way), psychological horror (asking what you think and asking questions about the outside implies someone you care for has gone outside in the cold for some reason), and probably other types of horror. It might not be scary in the Five Nights at Freddy’s Jumpscare Markiplier way, but it’s undoubtedly unnerving… if you remove every other verse because they’re so mid and remove all aspects of horror.

Cold and celestial in C? Who let bro cook 😭

[@theoriginalalex]

Cold is good, Celestial is just fine. trust, C tier does not = bad, but not as good as the other islands

[@wegtgttg]

They start with c what did you expect

[@BBPJ5]

C doesn’t mean bad, it just means outweighed by others

[@klrcats]

Please rank all angry birds games or something bro

[@arturdearaujolima1917]

Omg the more i see this videos more and more this channel gets better

[@unfunny_gaming6483]

I've only been a fan of MSM for around a year and a half, but I've really enjoyed pretty much everything that both games offer, and I love interacting with the community, almost everyone's fun to talk to and get along really well. 34:18 also when I was watching this I got jumpscared by my comment appearing for four seconds.

[@flynvascense9405]

To be honest, I prefer the music without the singing monsters.

[@timthedefender]

Bowhead, Tuskski, Gnarls, and (hopefully mimic will sound good) Mimic will sound amazing on the Continent and hopefully on their outer islands. If Gnarls remade Party Island and went to Cave Island everyone would die.

[@flameflareonog]

I'm from the future Mimic is in dof now

[@masterballstudios4864]

Nice vid and valid ranking

[@Anton-de5vu]

My biggest issue with all the islands is that the wubboxes almost always clash with the song, but because their such a flex EVERYONE keeps them awake and it’s near impossible to find any mix of an island without a wubbox on it. At least the epic wubboxes usualy match their islands better instead of just cheap dubstep

[@windsmith4048]

Honestly i don't like party island because it feels like it loops when it doesn't, also some monster feel like they don't fit the island. I feel like pong ping and trox should be swapped.

[@noobed9646]

I really felt like I was the ONLY person who actually likes fairy (i hope i spelt it right) island people normally just don't like it and then don't explain why but i love it thx for making this vid its really good too.

[@karakattankurai]

I like spotify version,I wish they added ffydil in that remix

[@SincerelyValen]

15:15 It's honestly more of a hot take to say you LIKE Celestial Island, LMAO. (I like Celestial Island) Great video, btw! It's nice to see this niche litte game get some much needed attention.

[@slurpythedog2153]

I feel like I've been going insane from all my years in the msm fandom because no one else ever has problems with the Werdos, was such a relief to finally see them properly criticized, lmao. Although personally, I'd say Water Island is by far their best execution. Air Island's is cool in concept, but I generally can't stand Stooarb's voice (no shade to Matt tho) and "They Say that we are Monsters" might be my least favorite lyric, which is saying a lot. I like how in general, this video takes into account the evolution of islands overtime, as someone who's been playing since before Rare T-Rox, it's cool to see the entire history be acknowledged. Edit: I'd also shoutout Anglow on mythical a bit more. Yeah, the alarm clock bit is a little strange, but you can't discount what he adds to the penultimate verse. It might be mistaken for the castle, but that cool synthy bass there is him, and he really adds a lot to that part
