Ranking Animal Crossing New Horizons Music

[@AlternatexDelete]

3am is truly the “what are you still doing up idiot” music. 5am is the best one. It’s just like the gentle good morning kiss on the forehead I need

[@matthewspinazze4118]

That song bullies me

[@yuzurucorner]

5am is S tier. Let's be honest

[@mollymoo2452]

It reminds me of the Goron theme 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MrQuinnzard]

7am is the best

[@Nevermaurum]

5pm

[@jenrrr]

You should rank all the K.K. Slider songs next

[@Oxorius]

I thought that this is what it would be, then I realised there was a track for each hour of the day from this video o.O

3am sounds like it's disappointed in you for being up

[@illegalseagulls]

3am haunts me

[@justjaein]

but it’s my favorite song at the same time

[@lol-xk2ng]

All the music in this game is great but i feel like i get annoyed with certain tracks becauses i tend to only play at certain times of the day.

[@riannalaw-lyons8985]

SAAMMEEE the only songs i truly didn't vibe to was 8-11am, 2pm and 9-11pm

[@charminchubs1651]

i play 10-12am and 10-1am so i havent even heard most tracks

[@theresat1776]

Yeah im wayyy too used to noon

[@Nexils]

Or it's just a shame that you happen to play at times where the annoying themes are being played. I personally detest the 2PM song with the high pitched electrical guitars etc.

[@laurielsp]

Yeah I wish there was a way to change which hour plays which song, or just have it random. 7AM is the song of me waking up playing a little of AC before 8AM kicks in and it's time for me to go to my office and start working from home lol I hear 7AM, 8AM, 12PM and 5 to 10 PM way too much. I love the soundtracks that play after 11 (except for 3 AM, hate that one.) but I actually never ever heard them in game.

[@asimplestrawberry]

3am sounds like what being up at 3am feels like

[@kotyss]

I feel that from 12am to 2am the game it's trying to put you to sleep, then at 3am it's laughing at you for being awake and 4am it's like "whatever, keep playing I guess"

[@perpetuallydazed8360]

Honestly 5am is one of my favourites, like, it's just so atmospheric running around as the sky begins to lighten into a really pretty shade of blue-green. Perfect.

[@martincarlos9611]

[@hades9stages]

funny i’ve never heard the music between 3am-8am because i physically can’t be awake during those hours

[@TheGoldenDuckie111]

Listening to all of them together like this has reminded me how much I miss the New Leaf hourly music... but it's also made me realise how the New Horizons music has successfully got itself its own mood, which though I'm not as fond of (probably going to try and play more at 5am now that I know how that tune sounds) still has its own charm.

[@c.ae.j]

5am made me cry once because it is so beautiful but also... maybe the fact it was 5am didn’t help too.

1am sounds like some tired guy trying to make his way back home after an extremely long day, but he can only move so far before needing a break to rest his dry eyes, trying not to sleep on his comically large suitcase in the middle of the road. 2am is the sound that plays as the rest of the cast in a musical is singing about the tired guy's woes as he walks home. 3am sounds like a comedy where the tired guy is trying to sneak a loud drunk elephant around without getting caught so he can go home. 4am is when the tired guy goes home and begins to calm down. hes happy his mission is successful as he changes his clothes and gets into bed, but it has a hint of what's coming tomorrow. 5am, the tired guy is asleep. you should be too. the world is restarted and its a brand new day. there's so much hope in the future

[@jakebutnotfromstatefarm4950]

1am sounds like baby Making music

[@FictionalSarah]

Your comment about seeing a villager eating a doughnut, while talking about the 3am music, has actually made me tolerate the 3am music more...though after the relaxing loveliness of 2am, it usually sends me scurrying off to bed. Also, 5am really is god tier. I woke up early, turned my switch on, and heard it for the first time, on the day that the cherry blossoms first started falling from the sky. It was a moment.

[@FictionalSarah]

Also, have you rated the New Leaf music? Because if not, please do. Be nice to hear your opinions on them, and hear the tracks again!

[@tossingturnips]

I agree with the mood whiplash that happens when it goes from 2AM to 3AM. I've actually kept playing until 3 just to keep listening to the music, then as soon as 3 hits, I get annoyed enough to shut the game off and go to bed lol

[@sunnyside.bookclub]

Correct. 5am music is the absolute best. Secret A+ tier. Combined with the green sky?? CHEFS KISS.

[@jerekuva2300]

Green sky? What. Is it really green at 5AM? Need to take a look

[@mollyjoe8551]

Glory to Arstotzka no lol. The first week of getting the game plays the music. One whole week with 24 hour days is 168 hours. You could play 1 hour for the whole week and the music would then change to normal. He is saying after the first 7 days the music will begin to change hourly

the music in new leaf is wayyyyyy better than new horizons (except 5pm that's a bop)

I'm deceived because they seem the same in ACNH, no song made me vibrate In ACNL the songs were all different and the night musics would make me feel emotional and weird. I wish each was unique and very different...

So after a good 15 or so minutes of playing, I just put it on repeat on my phone, rested my eyes, and listened until I fell asleep. I fell in love with 8 am when I woke up around 7ish on a Sunday and finally go to do my first turnip day. So in my full rested excitement, I sang “it’s turnip day!
