Studio Musician | Sonic Frontiers OST: Boss Battle Themes Reaction & Analysis 

People often say "they didn't have to go this hard". But, no. They absolutely did.

I don't think anyone was expecting Kellin Quinn to be dropping these bangers on a sonic game

WYVERN: “No more compromise, this is do or die!” KNIGHT: “I’m here to go beyond my limit not to compromise!”

Love watching these reactions. It's funny to me when people are like "This is Sonic?!" This has always been what Sonic was; diehard metal and cheesy but unforgettable buttrock. Sonic just hasn't really been this way for a long time.

The solo in Find Your Flame, is not suppose to repeat itself. Yesmen10 did that initially since the song was not fully out and the game itself forces the solo during the ending cutscene of the boss.

By the way, the vocals you've been hearing with the screaming and the chorus were all sung by Kellin Quinn. Hes the singer for the band Sleeping With Sirens. He did the vocals for all these songs besides the rap part in Find Your Flame

Not to get too much into the story and spoil it for you, the first 3 boss themes are a duality of Sonic and his 3 friend's character and how he respects and understands them, and they do right back. Undefeatable- Sonic and Amy's always bright and cheery attitude and capability to face their fears and become "undefeatable" in the face of danger. Break Through It All- Sonic and Knuckle's push forward through adversity and warrior spirit. The ability to go head first into danger, "breaking through it all" for your friends. Find Your Flame- Sonic and Tail's friendship, but Tails wanting to show his own capabilities, not just being "Sonic's friend", but a genius, hero, and person in his own right. He wants to "find his flame". I'm here- Sonic's eventual camaraderie and willingness to be there for his friends and loved ones. Shared with the "antagonist" of the game, Sage.

Sonic Frontiers doesn't have any more boss themes but it does have three more songs for the credits: "Dear Father", "Vandalize", and "One Way Dream". It'd be cool to see your thoughts on those songs too! Yesmen10 does have lyric videos for them too so it should work out perfectly

Thank you very much for reacting to my animated video lyrics. 🤗

I’m glad to see Sonic Frontiers being covered, Tomoya Ohtani has done plenty of rock for Sonic before, but he never went quite as hard as he did on these tracks. Also props to Kellin Quinn, his amazing vocals really bring the hype on the tracks he did the vocals for (Undefeatable, Break Through It All, Find Your Flame).

another track from the sonic franchise that i think you'll enjoy a lot is "boss: big arms" from sonic generations 3ds, it's absolutely phenomenal! it's a remixed version of a song with the same name from sonic 3, and completely knocked it out of the park

Oh yeah if I recall the performer of the rap section in _Find Your Flame_ is an artist they brought back after the track he did in Sonic Forces _Infinite_ of the boss Infinite. Otherwise all vocals are done by Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens.

These songs are about: Undefeatable-Amy Break Through It All-Knuckles Find Your Flame-Tails I'm Here-Sonic and Sage

I always 100% the islands before I do the boss fights whenever I play the game. It really makes the songs feel way more satisfying after the time spent preparing for the big fight.

BEEN WAITING TO SEE MY FAVORITE MUSIC REACTOR LISTEN TO THIS YES LETS GOOOOOOO

In "Find Your Flame" the second guitar solo doesn't even exist, they ripped the audio straight out of the game and they let the solo play twice when they were fighting the boss (Knight).

Welcome to the Sonic music hole, we welcome you to this amazing tracks. Also, there is no way back.

The best part of this game was slowly discovering the story of the ancients. SEGA and Sonic Team put an immense amount of effort into the story, one that the boss themes hint at to if you pay attention.

It is finally time, the moment we all have been waiting for XP, these are easily one of the best Boss battle themes in recent years, glad you're finally reacting to them :D And btw Trust me when I say, This has been the standards for Sonic boss fight music for Decades Sonic has always been known for having insane soundtrack Definitely recommend ya listening to other music from other games one day

Honestly, I don't really know which of these are my favorite. All of them are simply amazing! Thank you so much to listening to them and giving us your musical knowledge and personal opinions!

For "I'm here", it's actually the main theme of the game but they used it as song for the final boss. That's probably why the video didn't say "Supreme theme".

The lyrics are basically about how cool Sonic is. A common theme in Sonic music

Finally my request, No the community's request made it through! He found the flame! 💯🔥

The Cyberspace levels in Frontiers have some killer tracks too, it's basically like a whole EDM album. My personal favorite is Level 1-2; "Flowing" I think it's called.

Out of all the reactions to the boss themes, I’ve never seen a reaction as giddy as this one. Very entertaining seeing someone as excited as I was

In the lyrics video, they got some of the lyrics wrong like replacing “you won’t fade out” with “you won’t be here” in the chorus of break through it all, replacing “I can bury the pain” with “I can bury the blade” in the verse of Find your Flame and replacing “you cheat and you steal” with “staying still”, which I have no idea how that happened.

Having played the game, yes I would say the lyrics, although vague, does relate to the story. In face, I think this song can actually be applied to parts of the game we hadn't even learned about yet at the time we hear it. It seems to be connected to these creatures we learn about in the game in relation to the main threat and Sonic's interference with the situation. And yes, it's saying Sonic/the player is undefeatable, and therefore we can bare the burdens that were placed on the victims of the past (in this game). "It's time to face your fear. Cause when your time has come and gone, I'll be the one to carry on" especially applies to the game's story. Most Sonic songs are vague enough to just be a song on its own while pertaining to the game as well.

Jhulian is the sole reason that i want to learn to play guitar so bad. Such an epic guy, that sees so many things, keep doing great man

4:44 But I still advise you to start playing the game somewhere at the end of this year. There will be a global update that will fix some parts of the story. +add a lot of new things to it that were not included in the release.

The songs are a mixture with their meaning. Some tells a bit about Sonic, some about the Ancients and some about Sega themselves. So for instance, "Running from the past is a losing game," is a reference to how they are now trying to embrace the past and make things right and more coherent.

@Jhulian R , we got a new boss theme called "I'm Here-Revisited" that dropped as of the update, you might want to check it out.

Sonic Frontiers Ost is peak! It's actually kinda hard to find a Sonic music that isn't good, but those are off the roof

There's nothing quite like people out of the loop reacting to Sonic Frontiers music. Nobody expects it to go anywhere near as hard as it does. It's so fucking good.

Find Your Flame is honestly the only song i love every part of, in the others there are some bits i may not like but that one? I swear Knight's OST is a masterpiece.

I mean, Sonic music was always superior, but with this they shot past every limit. These are the greatest songs I ever heard in a game, and I played a lot of games.

Glad you enjoyed these! I love these songs so much! There are three more vocal themes and one more boss theme from this game if you’re looking for more. Vandalize (watch out for copyright), One Way Dream, and Dear Father all play at the end of the game during the credits. And I’m With You plays during the true final boss (this one doesn’t have vocals but it’s still good).

it goes like this: undefeatable is your appertizer, break through it all is your main course, then find your flame is the cheery on top

It's a tie between I'm Here and Find your Flame for my favorite song from this game

They didn't have to go this hard, but they did and its beautifil.

They went this hard for Sonic because this game is Sonic's comeback game! The only problem is that a lot of Sonic fans can't make up their mind on if they like the game or not. But I love literally everything about this game!

it's a shame he didn't react to "I'm with you", even if it doesn't go as hard as the other bosses themes

Really like these songs. 🤘And thank you for your R&A! Stay cool 😎

Top 10 soundtracks that make you scream

how does this video have 5 'most replayed' parts dang

enjoying this amazing soundtrack. Agree with your feelings. its breathtakingly

I'm really happy you heard the boss themes, you could some other time react to the rest of the soundtrack like the: cyberspace, island themes and the other vocal tracks

The final boss OST is also really good but it's more of an emotional and motivational kind of song, no rap, no rock, no guitars, mostly synth i think.

There are more themes from Sonic Frontiers due to their being a final update. New Final Boss theme, new ending theme, and new playable character themes

if you never heard the old sonic music, i recommend live and learn, infinite theme, endless possibilities and his world, they're the most famous ones but games like shadow the hedgehog has a lot of rock music :>

24:35 the solo repeating is not really part of the song, it's because this Sonic Frontiers boss fights has a mechanic that the music syncs with what is happening in the screen, the last part that plays after the solo only plays if you defeat the boss, cuz this part accompanies Sonic killing the boss in sync, and probably the person playing the game was too slow and didn't killed the boss in time to sync up perfectly But in the version the sega released of this song, the solo doesn't repeat

Secret Rings and Black Knight had vocal themes for all Boss Fights that went hard, Blue on the Run for SR and Fight The Knight for BK are my favorites.

The game released a remade version of “I’m Here”, called “I’m Here - Revisted” and I’d like to hear your it take on it

They got in near the end of the song and thought the solo was too good to do only once. They had to do it again!

oh man what a time to be a sonic fan

this game is sick af, totally recommend it. feels like the Sonic Adventure games too me.

The guy doing the rap in Find your Flame also sung Infinite from Sonic Forces. Actually Find your flame does have some small elements from Infinite, and I swear there's a bit of 'Fist bump' in Break through it all (my favourite of the vocal tracks from Sonic frontiers). Both Infinite and Fist Bump aren't on the same level as these, though Infinite feels like it really laid the groundwork. It's edgy AF and us, the fanbase, kinda made fun of this.... but it really did work. Too bad the game and the character (Infinite) squandered their potential. If you're curious you might just want to check it out in your own time =) Annnd well one of my other favourite tracks of the game is one called 'Fishing Vibes' .... because it is such a chill vibe. I appreciate that part of the game so much since it's a break from the chaos/

Sega always go hard for sonic songs,being stage instrumentals or vocal themes. Even the bad games have a great collection of songs like 06 and Forces

The boss themes of frontiers is basicly metal gear rising ost but on steroids

Sonic can fly by transforming into Super Sonic once he absorbs the Chaos Emeralds

i dont know about these theme they cool) Sonic Forces OST - Theme of Infinite i also recomend for listening

Undefeatable is my favorite

Listens to less than half of the first boss theme - immediately decides to buy a full priced game because of that and nothing else

in case you rlly like the game, they're re-doing the WHOLE 3RD ACT in an update on September 28th!

Ost is insane

I'm here has 2 version's of it. The Intro version and a Boss version. The boss one is missing most of the lyric's however so the main one is honestly better, and there also is the theme of The End, which has no vocal's but is really atmospheric

Kellin doing bangers and back vocals by Julian Comeau from Loveless the best bso from a game.

My favorite theme out of them all is probably either Undefeatable and I’m Here

To answer your question in the wyvern section, he can fly as Super Sonic, which is a form he takes when he collects the 7 chaos emeralds

You forgot The Ends theme, I'm with you

There are few soundtrack from this game that you missed. One Way Dream, Vandalized, I'm With You (as no vocals), and Dear Father

Let's gooooooo

"I'm Here" is the theme of the game too!

Another 3 songs from the game you can listen to are Vandalize (easy or normal Credits song), One Way Dream (Hard mode Credits song) and I think the third one is called Im With You (Credits Song)

You can listen ,,vandalize,, song that you can hear in the and of sonic frontiers and i very recommend you to also watch ,, open your heart,, the main theme of sonic adventure 1 (1998) and ,,live and learn ,, theme of sonic adventure 2 (2001)by crush40. In sonic franchise is 100 cool music i just can't write about every song! They all is on top! Like ,,it doesn't matter (both versions),, theme of Sonic's character and over's characters themes.. I'm sorry if i did some mistakes i don't actually speak English but already can write something like this:)

Sonic games have a history of being S tier music tracks that also happened to have a game attached to it.

Sonic Frontier's is quite good. I recommend it.

Idk about you guys but when with the Wyvern battle, I purposely took my time battling it so I can hear the music longer 😅

"Why did they go so hard for Sonic?" Well, it's a bit of a tradition ever since the start of modern era. If there's one thing that rarely disappoint it's the Supersonic-related songs. xD

React to more Sonic songs, like the older games themes, they are all good too!

You should do a breakdown of "I'm Here - Revisited feat. Kellin Quinn" its absolutely 🔥

The best game music EVER

3:17 I can summarize why they NEEDED to this hard, the Sonic IP was in shambles and if this didn’t succeed, they would’ve lost all hope from fans like myself. So if it didn’t go THIS hard, or was THIS good, they might’ve lost Sonic from all the bad decisions Sega made with the games before this. But that’s just my personal take on it.😅 5:26 I think the song was a mean to say, “The Sonic IP is Undefeatable” because, based off of what I heard from interviews, the team working on this was scared this would fail horribly like recent Sonic games that people have harped on HARD. But that’s my interpretation.

to answer your question at 12:30 the reason sonic is flying is because he has absorbed the power of the chaos emeralds, allowing for him to transform into super sonic (the reason why sonic is glowing gold in the boss fights) the form grants him invincibility and the ability to fly, this is far from the first game that shows super sonic having the ability to fly, as in sonic 2 if you get the true ending super sonic will fly back down to the earth after defeating eggman

the reason they went so bloody hard on the music is yes

I don't know if it's intended but I like to think that all of these bosses have these themes and lyrics attributed to them, not sonic or the player. Because in their eyes, this is the fight of their life

Hey there is a update with a new boss, with remixes of im here

El tema de wyvern es el mejor para mi

For me, it’s a genuinely hard choice between Undefeatable and Find Your Flame. I just love them both for different reasons. That is to say, Break Through It All is also amazing

You should listen to the in here revised it’s much better ino they replaced the singer with Kellen Quinn and it hits just right

Find ur flame is my favorite....and dont worry....the repeat of the solo seemed like more of an editor thing than the actual song

For the weird repetition for "Find your Flame", I think that's because those videos were made before the official CD release, so he maybe took the files from the game that have loops and made a bad cut. Official version have the Solo leading directly to the quiet part, not repeating before

There's A LOT of great Sonic themes throughout it's entire franchise.... But yeah, they went above and beyond even by Sonic standards for this game

15:35 pause right here and this sums up the entire vid.

Super Sonic could Fly for quite a Long time now

I'm so happy this music is getting out there Sonic team knows how to please their fans with good edgy music and its so rad! another good ones are infinite theme song its the same vibe as these. Love the reaction!

If you want another good one from Frontiers listen to One Way Dream, that is pretty top tier.

This is what makes Super Sonic work. Super Sonic shouldn't work in most games being a powerup for a boss fight. But these songs are one thing to make Super Sonic work.

11:12 that face says it all

a very good game OST you should check out is metal hellsinger! (if you do a video on the game I suggest starting with stygia and finishing with no tomorrow)

yes the lyrics are part of the story mostly to do with the titan ya figting i think
