Spectrum Obligato is such a badass title for a song

[@FiSH-iSH]

and out of order is such an absolutely perfect pun too

[@joelsytairo6338]

The trend of strange vaguely Italian sounding names in this dlc

[@KeleuHerdley]

@@joelsytairo6338almost all of them are musical terms, which mostly derive from Italy, Germany and France. Especially noticeable with common enemy names.

[@joelsytairo6338]

@@KeleuHerdley oh thank you so much for that! I really did not know

[@piecheese1214]

@@KeleuHerdley According to the Splatoon Wiki: "In classical music, obligato indicates an essential part of a composition that *must* be played as written, the opposite of which is improvisation."

[@AHylianWarrior]

Splatoon producing constant bangers, even the boss music before this one is just fantastic called "New World Order" with the perfect level of unsettling. Side Order's soundtrack is just so good overall

[@2eyedZnake]

He gotta do this one next

[@The0fficialGigabyte]

splatoon music is always good untill the next splatoon tracks drop

[@MadBrax]

New World Order fills me with a sense of pure dread, it's so damn good.

[@douglas2604]

i almost lost the first time against Order because I couldn't see through the tears after the heartbeat cutscene, Pearl did all the work for me, the end had me sobbing like nothing happens and yet i be sobbing (idk what they put in their music but the spltoon music is the only ones tha tmakes me cry lol)

[@Currentlycackling]

This song and Short Order are my absolute favorite Side Order songs, but they're all so good it was kinda hard to choose

[@xraenon1664]

Hearing that transition without Pearl’s building-shattering “booyah” will never sound right to me. That said, I really hope he does more stuff from Side Order - Unconsciousness in particular is a really cool piece, in music theory and to just listen to.

[@myarmsrgone]

An cover of that would be amazing

[@robbe2647]

[@xpload]

The Side Order addiction is strong

[@BlazingJ972]

I think splatoon 3 is my favorite splatoon for single player content. The online support has certainly been pretty iffy, but both single player modes have given me some of the most fun I've had playing splatoon.

[@xraenon1664]

“Iffy” is a _huge_ understatement, but yeah, single player was so much better. Alterna was a HUGE improvement over the Splatoon 1 and 2 Hero Mode, and Side Order is arguably better than Octo Expansion. Hopefully they keep up this trend if we ever get a Splatoon 4

[@arfirik]

@@xraenon1664 i feel like including randomised content into the expansion definitely made it feel worse than octo expansion for me, where every level was handcrafted and unique, or built up on previous levels, also the lack of the hidden special fight, new playable character type and the lack of variety of the randomised levels make it feel, well, lacking, compared to octo expansion THAT BEING SAID IT WAS STILL AN AMAZING DLC

[@nodot17]

​@@xraenon1664I heavily disagree with side order being better than octo expansion

[@xraenon1664]

@@nodot17 that’s why I said “arguably.” Roguelikes are definitely not for everyone, and Side Order had a way different vibe than Octo Expansion to begin with.

[@Crafty_boy70]

"Iffy" is selling it a bit short, but I can certainly agree that the singleplayer content is the best.

[@HokutoDokuro]

(Side Order spoilers below what I hope is the cutoff) The integration of Spectrum Obligato is probably one of my favorite ways I've ever seen a game handle a diegetic soundtrack. You hear a snippet of it as the level clear jingle, so you'll be familiar with it by the time you reach the top of the Spire. A little button prompt interrupts the boss battle after the third phase. You bring the beat in (insert Vine with beet on plate) as the sound of your Agent 8's heart(s). It starts silently, but the more you press the button, the louder and clearer it gets. When your Agent 8 returns to life? consciousness?, you find that Marina and Acht have matched the backing track to balance Order and Chaos in a way that Order can't fathom. I've seen all kinds of interpretations of the ending: representing passion, individuality, the power of music to connect people. I interpreted it as a celebration of the uncertainty of life. It's all in their heads, yet it's so beautiful. You don't know if you're getting a tomorrow, viewer. Make the most of today. (Edit, just two days later, because I need to take my own advice right now: Don't take those in your life for granted. You don't know when they'll leave you.)

[@aquamarinerose5405]

> you bring the beat in (insert vine with beet on plate) ANYTHING FOR YOU DEDF1SH!

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

Man I wish remembering the fight started with the heartbeat.

[@dantesdiscoinfernolol]

Order opens the first fight by describing a perfect world where nothing changes because no one _desires_ change - if everyone was just content with where they were, there would be nothing but peace. The way I interpreted that heartbeat part is that Eight - after hearing the Inkantation, deserting, climbing to the top of the Deepsea Metro, saving the world from Tartar... They have a desire to grow and climb and _seek change for the better_ that can't be taken away from them... It just happens to manifest itself as a sick beat. Because music seems to be innate to all these sea creatures. (It made me think of the DJ Octavio memcake from Octo Expansion, whose poem is a polite apology that ends with "I wanted more"... Not to mention that Return of the Mammalians confirms the reason all these sea creatures evolved the way they did is because they were passed humanity's desire to seek the surface...)

HE KNOWS THE MUSIC. HE'S ONE OF US

[@oak3684]

This song feels 888 times better when you hear it in-game for the first time. I was hyped outta my mind!! Also, which season will this version of the song be added to the game? XD

[@xraenon1664]

I’m pretty sure it’s already in the jukebox in the multiplayer lobby. But we’ll probably hear something in the next Splatfest (March 22nd) considering we got new Squid Sisters music with the Splatoon 1 plaza.

[@oak3684]

@@xraenon1664 Really? You can get 'this version', in which I mean the 8BitDrummer version, in the jukebox in the lobby area? XD Joking aside, these new tracks are just gonna be in the next Splatoon OST soundtracks , like how the Octo Expansion music are included in the Tentalive soundtracks.

[@garr_inc]

You sure it's not ∞ times better? ... Y'know, to fit the game's themes?

[@doctorwhooves6510]

The _second_ I saw this in my notifications, I immediately clicked, especially since I haven’t heard a Splatoon cover here in a long time- And this cover is AMAZING-

[@Caprisk_official]

2:27 that's when I felt a sort of nostalgia, idk how to explain but hearing this part a second and more energetic and smooth time feels nostalgic. Best final boss music

[@Delta_064]

Maybe because it uses the Fly Octo Fly leitmotif from the Octo Expansion?

[@fryespikachu153]

Man, I have had a hard time keeping this song out of my head for the past week. I somehow managed to clear the whole Spire of Order on the first try and when this song started up I absolutely popped off. This song perfectly encapsulates the major power rush you feel at this point. Also, the title "Spectrum Obligato" is so, so fitting although to explain exactly why it fits so well would get into minor spoilers so I'll keep my mouth shut.

[@keiyakins]

Though ironically, the spectrum isn't actually obligato. you *can* just shoot it until it dies.

[@fryespikachu153]

@@keiyakins That's... kinda funny actually.
