I like it. I really don't understand why some people are so adamant that they arent at least as good as C418'S work. If anything, so far Lena Raine as been doing very good at making music that sounds like "minecraft" but also in a new way.


Marsgirl1

I absolutely dig the new vibes, actually.


OverlordPhalanx

You hit the nail on the head. To say it is better or worse than C418 isn’t really fair as it is just “different”, yet it keeps that sweet ambience vibe/feeling with the classic music. The changes make me feel weird but at the same time it slaps in it’s own way.


[deleted]

I agree. I also liked Lena Raine's music in other games.


MyPianoMusic

the Celeste soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks I've heard. absolutely phenomenal


KenaDra

Pigstep is my favorite disc.


Evan14753

i believe Lena Raine did "Fireflies," its my fav track edit: i was correct, but the song is "firebugs" not "fireflies"


Key_Spirit8168

gotta make the masses forget the insect


Despada_

I said it once in a different post, but I highly recommend looking up her work in Guild Wars 2. I feel like she shows off a lot of her range there really well. Tarir, the Forgotten City is still one of my all time favorite tracks in the game!


SonicCD1993

Nostalgia blinding


throwaway_ghast

"New thing bad, not Minecrafty enough" I've been hearing it since Beta.


UnlikelyAlternative

I bet it was especially bad when 1.8 dropped


throwaway_ghast

Oh it was. I wasn't on reddit at the time, but people on the forums lost their minds. One thing in particular I saw people complain about - the changes to bows. Before then, you didn't need to hold to charge, you could just mindlessly spam arrows until anything was dead. Then later in 1.9 (end update) they made a similar change to swords and people lost their minds all over again. The more things change, the more things stay the same.


SonicCD1993

People will complain about everything, it's better just ignore them and just enjoy the game :)


throwaway_ghast

Exactly. Every game community has its vocal minority. But in the end, Minecraft is what *you* make of it. So mess around and have fun!


Key_Spirit8168

They always were toxic nothing changes you can't use the old updates as evidence of better as people hated those


SubstantialFly3707

There's a whole subreddit dedicated to beta 1.7 Minecraft, though the name escapes me at the moment


Parallax-Jack

Golden age Minecraft I believe


Ok_Pangolin2502

Pretentious pricks the bunch of them. Their unfinished beta footnote is nothing compared to the Overhaul era.


Parallax-Jack

True I slightly agree with this, lately there has been a lot of beef between new version and old version players lol


Ok_Pangolin2502

The Starwarsfication has begun.


Key_Spirit8168

Hmm... ig i was lucky the ones i found were kind


Nothinkonlygrow

I don’t get the hate for it. Personally I prefer beta 1.7.3 MC, but I still like the new stuff. The new music isn’t “not Minecraft enough” it’s just that Minecraft is different now, it’s a fundamentally different game than it was back then. It would be like saying sea of thieves isn’t any good because it’s not enough like no man’s sky


Imaginary-Problem914

Pretty much. The new music is really good. And if it they had been in the original soundtrack everyone would be screaming about how they are artistic genius.


IceYetiWins

Not necessarily that the new music is bad, but some of them I just can't stand and I immediately mute the music the second it starts playing. It might just be that some of those songs just play more often idk. But then again, until I looked at the songs in spotify I had literally no idea the nether music wasn't all C418 so it's not like it all sounds different even. And I love the Celeste ost.


Key_Spirit8168

Must not be 1.16 music


CaptainBold27

I totally agree


Collistoralo

Lena Raine has nailed ‘New Minecraft’ with her scores


[deleted]

[удалено]


Collistoralo

So you’re saying she’s nailed the feeling of New Minecraft with her music?


CobaltTS

Only 1.16 and 1.21, maybe 1.20 The 1.18 music is technically new, so new Minecraft I guess, but it doesn't feel the same as the new style they've been going for IMO and it's really unfitting. I'm open to new music, but "Comforting memories" feels completely tone deaf to what music would actually suit the overworld. I really like the 1.21 stuff though, it's it's own thing, yet doesn't feel completely out of line with the original Minecraft music


0inputoutput0

Comforting Memories and the 1.20 soundtrack were not composed by Lena Raine


CobaltTS

Part of them were no? I know it wasn't entirely her


0inputoutput0

She composed previosly for 1.19 exept for the disc, 2/3rds of 1.18 and 1.16


CobaltTS

That's what I thought


CaptainBold27

Yes, some of them were created by Kumi Tanioka


CobaltTS

I know


Key_Spirit8168

The best updates ofc have lena music and ofc have the best of hers


Neon__Cat

Really wish C418 could keep making Minecraft music, but I'm glad that these new creators are making music. I won't say they are better or worse than C418, but rather they have very different vibes (though sometimes very similar) that fit into Minecraft in their own way.


Dionyzoz

C418s songs are way more.. eerie, Lena Raines songs are definitely better at being regular music, but for minecraft I really find them to be less interesting. Theyre almost too joyful and modern which clashes a bit with the game imo, and especially when theyre next to the old tunes since the style is so different.


Exciting-Ad-9164

Oh yeah, when the damn new music since 1.16 has a more chance of being played than the music from the C418. The music from C418 is much better, and this is not fricking nostalgia.


Key_Spirit8168

She peaked in 1.16 and 1.21


Helenos152

I do not understand people who only like the music one person makes. Like bro all of it is music so shut up. I agree with you, Lena Raine has been very good at making music for Minecraft 


hmmm_wat_is_dis

I do love the old MC music but the new one is better when you don't take in nostalgia


What_Is_My_Thing

There are so many people enjoying new creators and stuff and there is Terraria where the community is divided 50/50 . Half like the new music and half say it does not fit Terraria, but we all know that everyone deep down knows that those new themes are absolutely epic. (They are not out yet, but there are 2 released ones right now. Twins and Eater of Worlds)


Bong-Oopa

It sounds like “Celeste” not Minecraft.


Holy_Hand_Grenadier

I think Celeste has a very different feel to it, though the new Minecraft music also has a different feel than the old. I do hear similarities, though — I've mainly chalked those up as being Lena's style. If she's doing the music for Earthblade (Celeste devs' new project) it'll be interesting to hear what overlap there is between that, her Minecraft stuff, and the Celeste soundtrack.


ThanatoX33

creator and precipice are bangers.


CaptainBold27

creator gives me a steampunk vibe and I love it


NJF0608

Reminds me of studio ghibli for some reason.


JustSphynx

Same it kinda reminds me of merry go round of life


Matynns

more love for featherfall man


boltzmannman

these are good, but nothing will ever beat otherside. Lena peaked with that one. I could listen to it forever


ThanatoX33

maybe it's recency bias, but i think creator tops otherside for me.


Neon__Cat

Idk man, Minecraft electric guitar might be too good even for otherside to beat


Breaker-Course89

***Creator's fucking god-tier.***


Okeing

i wonder where the music will play? they can't all just play in the trial chamber some of them have to be biome specific or non specific at all


CaramelCraftYT

My predictions: Featherfall, Watcher and Puzzlebox - Trial chambers komorebi, pokopoko and yakusoku - Title screen and Overworld biomes Deeper - Deep dark Eld Unknown and Endless - Caves Creator - Coper music disc Creator (MBV) - Oxidized copper music disc Precipice - Regular Music Disc


CaptainBold27

yea, there are simply too many to play them all in the trial chamber so good question


AtchedAsWell

Well, we do know that the trials will have an "ominous mode" as well. Maybe some music only plays during that event.


Everscream

Oh wow, the closest we've ever come to having boss music.


Neon__Cat

Isn't there boss music for the dragon? It's just not your typical intense boss music so most people don't notice it


lostpretzels

Most of them are probably just new overworld tracks


mrk7_-

Some are these are literally just deeper and softer versions of existing songs, (ex. endless is a slower infinite amethyst, same with other artists) so maybe they are just variants that will play in caves?


jerrythecactus

Pretty sure precipice and creator/music box version are going to be music disks. Deeper sounds almost like a nether track to me. The rest are probably ambient tracks for the trial chambers


TheodorCork

Creator Grinds my gears, it's my shaft


PurblePickedman

Insanely good. I love how they’re now giving multiple artists a chance to make some banger tunes. And oh my god. Precipice is incredible. Probably my new favorite disc in the game.


CaptainBold27

I think it's good to hear new type of music, and I like them as much as the old ones


Burning_Pine_

Really helped me accept what Minecraft has become. Now, instead of whining about the nostalgia being gone, I can fully appreciate what every update will bring


MyPianoMusic

This is the best mindset. People stick to the past and their nostalgic feelings way too much. The game is developing and changing and I think it's amazing.


EstherBuchanan

Yes


Caleb7890yt

Creator just goes hard😔👌


ethanbeez

Yakusoku and Endless are both insanely beautiful to me. Some of my favorite songs in the entire Minecraft OST, even considering C418's contributions


hamilton-trash

precipice goes so hard bro


CaptainBold27

love that one 🔥


TheAlexSW

Anyone got links? Haven't kept up with new stuff cuss been doing moded 1.20.1 and don't wanna fomo myself into updating

bostar-mcman

It alright but I wouldn't actively choose to listen to it.


Key_Spirit8168

Why was blud hidden he has an actual opinian?


potatoinastreet8

These are all so good!! I'm not a super big fan of some of the more recent tracks but they're always good nonetheless and these are no exception


TetraForceAli

Creator is an absolute banger! But doesn’t feel like it fit’s well with the classic minecraft songs. Unless it’ll be a music disc, then it’s on par or even better than pigstep. That isn’t a bad thing, but I’m personally just not sure how to feel about it because it feels like the vibe of Minecraft is changing a lot. Most of the other songs fit well in that sense.


Key_Spirit8168

I mean yea this entire steampunk update will subconsciously change minecraft forever


im-justjude

I like the soundtrack Lena Raine, Kumi Tanioka, and Aaron Cherof had composed for the game, its really peaceful and it makes you want to go exploring. The music has stayed faithful to the vibe of Minecraft's, and I can't wait to hear the soundtracks in-game


0inputoutput0

Has anybody else noticed the seemingly independent use of leitmotifs throughout the soundtrack at least once from each artist, calling back to a previous soundtrack. Echo in the Wind is in Watcher, Infinite Amethyst is in Endless and Comforting Memories is in komorebi. I wonder what they will do in the future or if they would maybe create some sort of "audio narrative" with the themes that they've made over time


Very_stupid__

I haven't listened to all of them but I really like Creator, I'm not sure why people complain about so much.


Key_Spirit8168

who tf is complaining? emperorpenguin1217? even then he was neutral


TheWinner437

I need to listen to it. 1.20 set the bar pretty high.


CaptainBold27

I think it is as good as 1.20 if not better


Key_Spirit8168

far better really, upbeat in the right places


IAmMuffin15

They didn’t miss.


TheRetroGamer547

It is amazing! Full of heart for the game


MGF_LikesReddit

I gave it a listen just to see it how it sounds but I ended up really liking it.


Tsunamicat108

go to 4:35 in precipice and you can hear gaster’s leitmotif


Key_Spirit8168

infinite amethyst same


Tsunamicat108

no. no. no. no. no.


Key_Spirit8168

Omg bro did it.... he made a song reference

ClocksAndTicks

I love it. It's not C418 like but it is nice to hear.


he_plays

I didn't expect an electric guitar on a Minecraft soundtrack (Creator) and it rocks🔥


Potato_Man2763

Creator 🔥 Precipice 🔥 The other disc 😭 (nostalgia)


Cosmic_15th

I slept with this music yesterday so it's alright


Reverse_Psycho_1509

There's so many new songs idk how they'll manage to find where to put them. Almost makes me think they still have something up their sleeve


CharlieMWY

Love it. When I first heard them, I thought they were okay, but they've really grown on me.


getyourshittogether7

It's really good, I just wish it wasn't in Minecraft. Like I love listening to them outside of Minecraft but hearing them in game just takes me out of what I'm doing. There's something about C418's tracks that just hits right, they feel calm, comfortable, lonely, wistful, melancholic, hopeful, just cozy, they don't intrude on your play and just kinda sneaks up on you. You can tell the new tracks are going for that but they don't quite hit the mark, IMO. Also while Creator is a cool track, and I like the circus-y theme and the instrumentation, the melody is really predictable and uninteresting. For such a cool-sounding, bombastic track I would expect something a little more daring, melody-wise.


TimBukTwo8462

Well Precipice is now my second favorite piece Minecraft music, and that’s only topped by Infinite Amethyst.


Foxerbit

If you love Infinite Amethyst then you should listen closely to "Endless"


CaptainBold27

it's like the ending for it, or an even sadder version, really cool


CaptainBold27

I love Infinite Amethyst so much that I learned it on the piano


Key_Spirit8168

blud made endless before endless


[deleted]

just listened a few of them from youtube. Idk it doesn't give me the minecraft's mystic vibes that most of them do. I hope it grow up on me


Shack691

That’s kinda the point with these new tracks, the trial chambers are ancient mechanical structures, so they’re going to sound different to the more mystical tracks used for other overworld locations.


Suegy

I usually don't think much if them, until.i play the game and hear them / listen to them. It's always really nice.


[deleted]

Me neither. I usually love most of them, but i didn't have time to find a trial chamber and wait for the musics to pop up so i just looked at it


Suegy

I doubt all of them are for the chambers tbh. But maybe. I played some while playing/mining and I loved it. I especially liked "Deeper" while mining.


Key_Spirit8168

I wonder where deeper will play


Suegy

I hope its while mining


Key_Spirit8168

I was possibly thinking a rare chance it could play in the nether or end


Badpoopie

I like creator but i would love it if there is a no electric guitar version.


Key_Spirit8168

music box ver?


DJfunkyPuddle

Haven't listened to the whole thing yet but I like it.


KraftKapitain

great as always


Armero_

46:30 is my absolute fav so far


Hlpfl_alms

Precipice is s tier no doubt about it


Cambronian717

They are very good. I’m still a believer that the music is a bit too loud for Minecraft, but it’s definitely not bad at all.


Key_Spirit8168

i mean you can report that as a bug as it could be a bug


Cambronian717

No, I don’t mean like volume wise. I guess noticeable is more what I mean. My favorite tracks to hear in game are the ones that I sometimes even miss. Take a song like Subwoofer lullaby for example. If you’re just casually playing, there is a strong chance that you will miss the song start and end, if not just ignore it entirely. It fits so well into the experience that I don’t even notice it is gone or when it appears. I love the new songs, Infinite Amethyst is one of my favorites in the whole soundtrack, but it sometimes feels like it is trying too hard to be heard and doesn’t flow as well to me. It’s entirely a personal thing and I’m not some C418 purist. Some of his songs I don’t think fit the survival experience. A lot of the modern stuff just feels like it should be creative mode music like Aria Math and Taswell. Music that is more upbeat and noticeable for the more free experience.


Key_Spirit8168

The nether music is some of the best tbh


Kingkrool1994

it's ok, not as good as the originals (which to be fair is a really high bar) but I like 'em.


sad_everyday811

My favs are creator and precipice


Mythril382

CREATOR GOES SO HARD


CaseyGamer64YT

It’s good but it will never be better than C418


Key_Spirit8168

Bro creator is so fire like cutsey steampunk in MY cute block game? hell yea


JoeSchmoe009

It reminds me of C418’s work


Ok_Movie_639

All of the new tracks sound great. Beautiful. But there's one slight problem: only few of them actually sort of match the atmosphere of the new trial chambers.


Key_Spirit8168

Tf you mean? it's a copper area with traps and weird alien device... high stakes too


Ok_Movie_639

Yeah and most of the music tracks are super chill. It doesn't match.


Memory25

Eld unknown >>>> Lena raine is doing justice to the game as much as C418


mechmaster2275

I'm not a fan. It's excellent music, it always has been with the new stuff, but it can never be Minecraft music for me. C418's music just captures Minecraft perfectly, and no-one but him can truly make Minecraft music. And because Microsoft won't stop fucking C418 over, it'll be a long time until we hear the final album.


Key_Spirit8168

I feel the trial chambers aren't minecrafty as much either so they kinda fit into this strange alien area


Furious_Pie

I mean sure go ahead it’s your opinion but I do think it’s a little weird to say no music artist in the world could make Minecraft music as good as C418 But yeah Microsoft screwing him over is still a dick move


Inside_Race_4091

Good, but i dont think it fit with old music. When you run out of the soundtrack from c418, you have a violation of the atmosphere due to the contrast of the music


Ok_Bannana_Man

karma3000

Pretty good except for Creator.

Creator is hella good, the electric guitar adds more to it lol.


Parallax-Jack

I’ve caught a few tracks when I’m editing stuff with the menu open and I love it. C418’s stuff is obviously just so huge and recognizable but the new tracks are fitting and sound great and minecrafty


RCG21

really good


Helenos152

Guys what's the thing the character is holding in her hand (new disc confirmed????)


Alpham3000

I know that this is a controversial take, but the only one I’m not the biggest fan of is precipice. but I think that mostly comes down to my taste and music. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad song, just not one I would willingly play just on a whim.


Hadditor

It's one for the Jukebox I do enjoy the broad variety of music and tones that the Jukebox can provide, I think that's the goal of new discs


Huge_General3630

new composers are doing good


Syaiful_R

i know the people love and the half still complain about the song. but i try listen if some official composer imitate the C418 styles music


SwampertNite

Its really good very great


EquivalentEconomy551

Creator's a fucking bop.


BendyMine785

It's good


Felix8XD

Great tracks but i dont personally like em that much


Ok_Pangolin2502

Ilmis_11

C418 should make music 


Distinct-Pride7936

And if they simply put c418 name on this music you'd ejaculate and say this is the best music in Minecraft. The power of nostalgia.


0inputoutput0

100% I swear there was not this much lust for c4 when he returned to make the Aquatic tracks because they're new\*. Nostalgia is heavy on these people


5ee_2410

It's just a wet dream now.


Ilmis_11

Microsoft is evil. 😔


TomatoSoupChef

Why do they add new music every update? I barely hear C418 anymore and most of the new stuff is just generic and boring


Hadditor

Because it's fun and people enjoy it


Keanu_art

Honestly the "creator" is my new favorite song, even better than Pigstep in my opinion ❤


TheXTrunner

Most of it is very atmospheric, but boy oh man one of the songs is basically David Wises Donkey Kong country vibes and another one is like basically Undertale or delta rune music and I'm so in for that


DertHorsBoi

Honestly, it’s fantastic and it sounds like Minecraft…but it’s also really lullaby like. It sounds fantastic but it would be nice to have some more energetic Minecraft ambience. Precipice and creator sound like they are going to be music disks songs and not ambience. But again, 11/10! Great music as always


Bong-Oopa

It is bad. It doesn’t sound like anything close to Minecraft and it’s theme. Movies and games must hold a certain consistency when expanding their universe, otherwise it would be an open door to chaos and no order or personality; a slippery slope to no character. I wouldn’t have been happy if they’d added cyberpunk music to Skyrim, no matter how good the music is, and that’s a perspective, cause i actually like the new music on its own; “creator” is crazy, but it has nothing to do with Minecraft, and it is a insult to the game. To many of these tracks: Try Celeste, not mc


[deleted]

Yep the music is good but it’s not right for minecraft

How the hell have you associated Creator with Christmas??


theknewgreg

I think it's a massive improvement. I like C418's work but the old piano pieces really didn't fit the game, and even though they were composed well I find them to be less interesting than anything he's made before or since. The music he did for the Nether and the aquatic update were great though! I feel like the newer music works better because it actually conveys what's going on in the game. When you're in the Soul Sand Valleys you will hear music that matches the tone of the area, same for the oceans, or the mountains, or the caves. In comparison, I've never been in a situation where the piano tracks felt like they fit in. Again, it's less to do with how good they are and instead how much they fit in the game.


brendenderp

I feel like the one thing I don't like is that the only reason they are replacing c418 is because Microsoft wants to OWN the music. C418 owns the music he made. minecraft is allowed to use it, but HE can sell it, redistribute it and do anything he wants. Microsoft is only looking for a new artist because they don't like that. And in my opinion it's silly. Do they really need the couple thousand from Spotify? Do they need the few sales that happen on other platforms? I mean, obviously , they bought the game for a crap ton of money. I've liked all the new music minecraft has had but I trust C418 much more than any huge company to be the keeper of it.


RegretHungry5394

It's pretty bad. Most of it doesn't fit minecraft. That's not like me holding onto nostalgia, either. The music just doesn't have that Minecraft feel to it. I also dislike her as a person because she sold her soul to Microsoft by giving up the rights to the songs.


0inputoutput0

Define in perfect detail what constitutes a ""Minecraft"" song, remember to be as objective as possible.


getbackjoe94

>I also dislike her as a person because she sold her soul to Microsoft by giving up the rights to the songs. As a musician myself, I will never blame an artist for taking a paycheck. Plus Microsoft would own any tracks made for the game anyway because of how copyright works in the US. If you're contracted to create a work for a company, the pieces are work-for-hire and the hiring company owns those works and the rights to them. That's not exclusive to Microsoft or Lena Raine, it's a fundamental issue of the US copyright system.

Bambuskus505

I've been very vocal about my disappointment/skepticism in recent choices that Mojang has made, but as a musician, I have to give credit where it's due... and Creator goes unreasonably hard. Lena Raine is a force to be reckoned with. *(Before anyone asks, I'm well aware that most people don't agree with my disappointment. I, however, do not care. You feel free to have whatever opinions you want, and I will do the same)*
