    The reason why these songs seem like they're cut short is pretty simple: They are pretty short. However, the way they work is that parts of them loop over and over. For instance, the vocals usually only start once you've made enough progress on a boss to force them into their second phase. So these seem pretty short now, but in a playthrough of the game you will spend quite a while listening to them as you try to figure out each boss and you might have been at it for half an hour or more before you hear the vocals for the first time, making it a very cathartic experience.

    Some background information on the bosses in the game: Boss 1: Metal Gear Ray He appeared in the previous games and was a much bigger challenge then. In previous games, you had to use missile launchers and such to kill them. In this game, it’s the tutorial boss. You cut him in half with a katana in a couple of minutes from starting the game. This is used to show that the protagonist of the game is much stronger than he was before. Boss 2: Bladewolf After killing MG ray and getting beaten up by a katana wielding Brazilian (don’t question it) the protagonist got a new cybernetic body and is off to find his next victim. This victim is bladewolf. I’m not going to go into many details about the fight itself, as it is pretty straightforward: you cut him with a sword before he cuts you with a chainsaw, and you also turn the reinforcements he summons into dust by the same occasion. When you finally cut him to bits, somewhere offscreen he gets rebuilt and now fights on your side in some missions, not because he is forced to, but because he wants to. This is supposed to serve as a lesson about freedom and stuff, but in reality it’s an introduction to cutting all the following bosses into a million pieces because that’s something you can (and should) do. Boss 3: Mistral She is a mercenary fighting for the private military company you have been going after due to plot. She has a bit of background information on her being an abusive owner for bladewolf, but more on that later. She also has one of the more … how to put it… interesting models in the game. The devs clearly were having fun designing her. And all the other bosses as well, but her mostly. Boss 4: Khamsin. He is a boss introduced in a later (free) DLC. He is a disabled man in a mech-suit. He has a chainsaw axe and his whole thing is that he’s useless. What I mean is that he achieves nothing, he has no character ark, even his coworkers (people like Mistral) hate him. So remember when I said that Mistral was an abuse owner to Bladewolf? Well, over the course of the DLC she essentially gets Bladewolf to kill Khamsin. Trust me, it is way better done/explained in the game. Boss 4: Monsoon. To sum up Monsoon’s story, I can only really say one thing: he is insane. Not in the **haha I’m going to kill all humans I come across because that’s the writer’s will** kinda way but in the he sais weird stuff that surprisingly makes a lot of sense when you think about it way too much. For the fight itself, it’s fun to watch other people struggle to figure him out. In other terms, his “powers” are all about one thing: magnets. What that means in practice is: 1. To quote famous KZreadr Max0r: his preferred method of dodging is self bisection 2. He can throw heavy chunks of metal at from afar. 3. To actually deal damage to him, you either have to either A. Parry his attacks, so you can hit him in the face, B. Throw an EMP grenade at him, allowing you to do the same thing as mentioned prior. When he only has a sliver of health remaining, he throws an obelisk at you, and you run op it’s side and cut him in a million pieces. Here’s a quote from him I think sums up his character pretty well: “Free will is a myth! Religion is a joke! We’re all pawns controlled by something greater: Memes: the dna of the soul!” Boss 6 I think : Sundowner This boss is, well, even more insane than Monsoon. He likes war, to kill, and to commit war crimes. His fight goes like this: You fight him on top of a building. He has a sword, you have your trusty katana by your side, and you fight. Except, the boss has a truck up his sleeve, or should say back, because all of a sudden, he pulls out 6 shield that if you touch you explode, losing quite a bit of health. Phase 2 begins when you cut his shields off. He actually tries (and fails) to deal damage to you. When you deal all the damage to leave him on sliver of health, he falls of the roof, catches the bottom side oh a helicopter, and uses a unmanned assault bird to knock you off the building as well. What follows is a sequence of you falling and flying back up the side of the building on the bird while piloting it with your sword. You then throw the bird at the helicopter, making it explode, and knocking sundowner towards you, where you can finally cut him into a thousand pieces. Boss 7: Jetstream Sam He has a history of taking down a drug cartel all by himself and of having his own DLC, he is also the tall Brazilian katana wielding and ass kicking man from earlier. He has a red sword, a will to leave, the best smile in the franchise and next to no cybernetic augmentations. He is here to do two things, cut you with his sword, or punch you with his fist if you disarm him. He is a tough fight, as he can do pretty much the same things as you, and it all really just comes down to the skill of the player. Boss 8: Metal Gear Excelsus. A massive mech with a US senator inside of it. Need I say more. It’s theme, Collective Consciousness also fits perfectly with Mariah Carey (did I spell that right)’s “all I want for Christmas is you”. Look it up. I don’t suggest reacting to it, even thought it would be neat, but listening to it at least once is a must. Boss 9: Senator Armstrong. Remember the US senator inside MG Excelsus? It’s him. He is even more dangerous outside the mech. Some of his iconic lines include: “Nano-machines, son”; “I do need capital. And votes. Wanna know why? "I have a dream." That one day, every person in this nation will control their OWN destiny. A land of the TRULY free, dammit. A nation of ACTION, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not committee. Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think -- to act -- for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit. Fuck "American pride". Fuck the media! Fuck all of it! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it -- we need to pull it out by the roots. WIpe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged, and the strongest will thrive -- free to live as they see fit, they will make America GREAT AGAIN!” “You still don't get it. I'm using war as a business to get elected... so I can end war as a business! In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money, not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!” That’s about it. Hope you enjoyed this read, that was about 6700 symbols long. My KZread crashed while writing this. Had to restart once. edit: a lot of spelling corrections. Also, someone in the comments to this comment argued that monsoon and sundowner are not insane, and I agree with that person, so go read their comment too.

    You're right about all of this, except that Sundowner and Monsoon aren't insane. Not strictly speaking anyway. Sundowner's made peace with himself. He loves war and battle and he's good at it. He's a predator whose sole goal is to fight. That's it. He doesn't hide behind the veil of fakeness like most villains. He's open about it and he's taunting Raiden because of it, because Raiden is much MUCH worse than him and Sundowner knows it. Monsoon isn't crazy either. Like Sundowner, he's open about his views on social darwinism and how we don't "evolve" as such, but we just adapt to our surroundings by being controlled in some way. By our genetics, our "meme". He pretty much lifts Liquid's rant about it in MGS 1, almost word for word in some parts.

    Lyrics: Convey how a guy linked to a giant mech is a soldier who's doing the dirty work others won't do, comparing that to a buffalo who blindly follows others and does it without questioning it, while painting a whole scenery of this dessert in which this said soldier is making that dirty work happen, all while pumping you up with hard-to-compose fast instrumentals People: "It's so cheesy lol, reminds me of puberty time, i'd sing something like that at a campfire". I guess that's just how people who are led to believe emotions are bad think, they see something that isn't "on surface" level of lyrics or lack of them, something that is supposed to express a character and his feelings, and just automatically dislike it, linking it to emotional events of their lifes like puberty or... camping...? Yeah i'm not getting where they'd get the camping part, i'd like to see that song they sang at a camp that was like a synth-metal lyrical character theme...

    @@alpha-tomahawk532 These things aren't mutually exclusive. The lyrics can be both gloriously cheesy *and* meaningful to the characters and story. It's an absolutely brilliant soundtrack because of how well it fits the context of the game, which is also over-the-top cheese turned up to 11. Sure, the subject matter is serious and fairly dark, but the tone is over-the-top and goofy as hell. I mean, bro shows up to one mission wearing a sombrero. I think what's so great about the game is that neither of those elements take away from the other. It's able to be a serious story about a former child soldier and mercenary coming to terms with himself and what he seeks to get out of what he does, and also be campy as hell. Which makes it an especially suited spinoff of Metal Gear Solid as well, given that series' penchant for expressing some really high concept ideas one moment, and the next having you fighting a flamboyant vampire man who walks on water. It's that exact combination and juxtaposition of tone and subject matter that's perfectly reflected in the soundtrack. Also, I think the association with puberty comes from the fact that the musical style of the soundtrack is very heavily influenced by 2000s hard rock and metal, which was a time when many of the people who played the game were in adolescence. I wouldn't read too much into it.

    most intelligent twitch chat Sorta the problem with listening to these songs without playing the game is you miss out on seeing the characters these songs belong to, which puts the lyrics in context. For example, Sam's theme, "The Only Thing I Know For Real" is about how Sam has lost his true motivation to fight and is now fighting just to fight. Blade Wolf's theme, "I'm My Own Master Now", is about Wolf's desire to be free from the metaphorical chains his makers have set in place, more specifically, if he were to disobey any orders, his memory would be entirely wiped. All of the boss themes are like this, "The Stains of Time" is nihilistic and edgy just like Monsoon is, "Rules of Nature" is about a predator on the verge of extinction, just like Metal Gear Ray, "The Hot Wind Blowing" is about a soldier brainwashed by propaganda into believing what he's doing is bringing freedom, when all it's doing is instilling violence. Sadly without playing the game you don't get any of this context, and you end up with a Twitch Chat with a collective IQ lower than the room temperature of fucking Alaska. Except for the few people in the chat who actually played the game. shoutouts to you lol.

    One of the worst outcomes of a sequel never happening is that we'll probably never see Jamie Christopherson again, at least for a very long time. He only had a couple notable credits before this project, and he's basically dropped off the face of the earth following it. Such a shame with what an incredible job he and the sound team at Platinum did. The true beauty of this soundtrack that is wholly unique to this game is how the songs are primarily a look into each of the bosses' character and what motivates them. Metal Gear is traditionally a very story heavy series, but with the high-paced action of this spin-off they didn't feel it was right to pack in a bunch of heavy storytelling and exposition. Their solution was to tell you each character's story through the music while you were fighting them. The intensity of this is further emphasized by how the vocals only kick in once the boss is brought down to the final phase of their fight, only having an instrumental track until you push them to their limit. For Jetstream Sam in particular, his vocal track plays right from the start. However, when you succeed in knocking his sword out of his hand he loses his identity (the sword being the "soul" of a warrior is a very common theme in Japan) and the vocals in his theme stop until he picks it back up. It ties in very nicely with the internal struggle he faces as a character. The use of music in videogames has evolved a lot over the years, but as of yet there's no other game on this Earth that utilizes its soundtrack and ties it into its gameplay and storytelling quite like Metal Gear Rising.

    What I saw is that, while chat understood that there was a deeper meaning to the game with its politics and whatnot, they failed to realize what was actually happening. Like that person who believed that Armstrong was war=profit, when he was very much against that. XD Aside from Armstrong killing a bunch of people and having children's brains implanted into robots, you could sympathize at least with what he's wanting. While his methods are terrible, the main character has done similar things. Killing those that are weaker than himself for causes that he may or may not agree with. So Armstrong's theme really hits what's going on between the 2 characters.

    The songs are HIGHLY loved and popular. Then I see Twitch chat in expected fashion being contrarians and irritating bigots. It's very off putting for this kind of content. MGR is also satire on how people don't truly change, and you have to climb your way out. Much like Twitch Chat, refusing to move on from twenty years ago sitting in an echo chamber. Obviously, there's also a disconnect because almost all of them who are negative sound like they're trapped in Solid 3 and don't know how music that wasn't on the billboard 200 works, or are people who have never played the game and don't comprehend how the music interacts with the gameplay and boss. Almost all music composers and game audio technicians are blown away by it when they frame it into it's appropriate context, because only Devil May Cry really consistently did something like this (Devils Never Cry from 3, The Time Has Come and Shall Never Surrender from 4, the entire DMC 5 OST, etc.) and everybody else couldn't figure out how to make it function in the medium.

All of these songs are story telling telling devices and the lyrics only play when you progress far enough into the boss fight. They tell the stories of the bosses and brilliantly I might add. You can understand everything about them as you fight. Everything from their mannerisms to their philosophies. There's a reason why this game's OST is praised. It's kind of like Undertale music where if you've never played the game or seen gameplay to really understand the context, then you won't appreciate the song to the fullest. You won't "get it". Regarding "The Only Thing I Know For Real", specifically to the guy who said the song was good until the singing started, counter point: go F yourself. This song slaps. Better yet, all of these songs slap. You better believe if I was in that chat I would have been tearing those uncultured people apart, lol

    the chat keeps commenting on the directness of the lyrics. *They don't play lyrics until the back end of the fight.* For the majority of it you'll be hearing the instrumental until the climax of the battle, and in most scenarios you won't even notice them until you've gotten *really* good at the game because of the amount of attention you need to pay to the combat itself. The story of the characters involved are the mainstay of the lyrics, but the instrumentals can be used to intuit their mentality and motives even if you haven't seen the cutscenes.

    Rules Of Nature is about how the massive destruction robot Metal Gear Ray is a predator designed solely for the purpose of being the strong preying on the weak. It indeed is very dependent on successfully catching and defeating its prey. Not because it must eat, but because failure will result in it being decommissioned and replaced with a more competent one. My Own Master Now is about Bladewolf. A robotic canine AI designed for assassination. After being taken apart by Raiden (the player), he actually does become his own master. Until then, he was constantly at the risk of mind erasure and being repurposed for trying to make own decisions. A Stranger I Remain is about Mistral, a French woman who has traveled through a tough life. She came to find that taking the lives of people who displease her was most pleasing, but she never found purpose. That was however until she teamed up with Desperado and became a Wind Of Destruction, and eventually being hired to carry out the plans of Senator Armstrong. In Desperado, she found purpose. She found a home. She found love. She finally found what she was looking for. A place where she could be without remorse. The Hot Wind Blowing is about Khamshin. An army veteran missing his legs who decided, instead of a wheelchair, he'd make a massive mech suit to sit in and move around in. This song represents the unknown soldier. The men lost on the battlefield without a nametag and will be lost to history. Khamshin has always been a joke to his fellow members of The Winds Of Destruction. And despite his efforts, after he eventually perishes (Mistral sent an assassin to kill him) he becomes forgotten. Never mentioned by anyone ever again, hence the lyrics: "fulfil our duty, then vanish without a trace". He believed that freedom is something that must be forced upon the people who do not understand it, hence the line "I don't know what I've been told, the wishes of the people can't be controlled". In his final moments, he's desperate to prove that he is significant. He is a Wind Of Destruction. Heck, a lyric even has him cry this statement out loud. Stains Of Time is about Monsoon, a man who has seen some bad crap. Having barely survived a massacre home in Cambodia, he was rebuilt essentially more metal than man. Through magnetic technology, his new 80% metallic body can split apart to avoid any strike made at him. He has come to accept that pain, suffering, war, sorrow and all things are all trivial. All that matters is what we take from it. Memories that will stay with you and evolve alongside you, shaping who the individual is meant to be. Red Sun is about Sundowner. A man who truly sees more good in warfare than peace. Things like bringing jobs to communities and creating a common cause. Red Sun is a description of his ideal world. The Only Thing I Know For Real is about Jetstream Sam. A Brazilian man with a katana and a swagger that can break steel. The song speaks on how he may once have had a motive and known what to fight for, but now all he knows is that he is fighting. The only thing he knows for real is that there WILL be bloodshed. The man in the mirror nods his head, assuring Sam that "Yes, Sam. This is all correct, it's all like you used to do it, so nothing has changed" It Has To Be This Way is about Senator Armstrong. An American Senator with some crazy ideals. He has a dream for an America where each and every individual is free to fight their own wars for their own ideals, rather than follow barely understandable ideals of politicians who will never fight themselves. A so-called "land of the *truly* free", he calls it. The song is comparing Raiden (the player character) to Armstrong's ideology. We both wanted to spare the people from oppression. And in this case, how can either of us say the other is wrong? We can both agree that violence only breeds violence, and violence has been both of our answer to our obstacles. But in the end, it has to be this way. This is the end, where we must fight, and violence simply must happen. Loved the analysis!

    Regarding your question about the structure: You're listening to the official soundtrack releases. The songs are designed so the first half loops during the fight with or without lyrics (it depends), and then the second verse and outro kick in while you execute the boss. Regarding genre: I'd classify it as a mix of power and industrial metal.

    yeah the ending for metal gear excelsus is huge, its a stadium sized robot and you rip its giant sword arm off and have a sword fight with it, cutting it to several pieces also the stains of time with monsoon works with it being super fast because in the fight you are getting attacked left right and centre 5 times a second every second, its really fast also the music is instrumental for most of the fight minus the only thing i know for real and it has to be this way, and when you reach the climax of the fight the lyrics kick in so it makes it sound so awesome plus the final boss song, it has to be this way, is likely about the main character that you play as and not the final boss at all, which i think is pretty neat

    I really wish you could watch the Meti Not The Bad Guy's videos about all the bosses from MGR. He tells you their back story and reasoning. All while using the lyrics from their boss theme to back up the info. And who they relate to Raiden, the character you play as. And then the entirety of MGR is seen through the music and lyrics of the sound track. It like hearing a story told by a bard. The characters are over the top and simplified. And the music takes that and cranks it up to 11.

    One thing I think people might not have mentioned is that some of the tracks on the OST are mixed (or remixed?) by Maniac Agenda, who are an electronic music duo, while some other tracks aren't (indicated by "Platinum Mix" instead of "Maniac Agenda Mix" in the OST listings) That probably also explains the different "vibe" between certain of the tracks being having stronger electro elements and such, like those heavy wubs and that half-time change-up in Collective Consciousness (Maniac Agenda Mix). Maybe. I could be wrong though!

    Since (I think) he hasn’t played the game itself to see the storyline and the more specific characteristics of each boss I understand why it wasn’t touched on, besides when someone mentioned a bit about blade wolf, but the fact that the songs fit the characters, and not just the lyrics relating to them, but the themes in the way each song is written, fits each of the bosses personalities and character traits so well, and that in itself makes me just love the mgrr ost even more.

    I love Hot Wind Blowing because of how uniquely simple it is, and how well it portrays the difference between Khamsin and other bosses. Every character in the main game is complex, with hidden quirks and mysteries behind their facade. Each one even if horrible, still has some sanity and genuine criticism to offer to Raiden. But then you get Khamsin, straight forward soldier, who doesn't think for himself and does what he has to do. He doesn't bother himself with ideology, complex worldviews or reasons of why he's doing what he's doing. He just goes there and acts, leaving thought processes to his superiors. However he has somewhat complex view of his consciousness and purity. Even if he has doubts, his conscience is clear, because he's just a tool, a puppet in hands of others, who are to blame. But he bears no blame. And you can feel that in his track. Simple straightforward music and angry, raging chorus, that comes after cold, emotionless verse. Even he atarts to understand how flawed his view of the blame is. You can hear deep rage and anger, that is being supressed by professionalism and a need to adhere to rules of existing hierarchy.

    The Hot Wind Blowing sounding homogeneous is by design, the boss it's tied to is basically a slave to American idealism who has no opinions of his own, only existing to follow the orders of others and blindly believing that he is a force for freedom when he himself is not free, this is reflected pretty heavily in the lyrics but I think the instrumental really lends itself to the character and the story the song is trying to tell

    I like how everybody in the twitch chat uses the words "Cheese" and "Cheesy" to describe the lyrics, of course they're on the nose, but who cares? I'd rather the song convey it's message clearly than not at all, the use of lyrics in MGRR music to tell the story of the boss you're fighting and how their morals and ideologies conflict with Raiden's is one of the reasons why it had such a big resurgence in the recent years, and is still wildly popular to this day. Songs like "Stains of Time" "The only thing I know for real" "It has to be this way" and such are pretty on the nose with the message they're trying to convey, but that's the point, it's not a game where you have to go in-depth about figuring out why your opponents fight, or whatever, it's a game where everybody's views, ideologies, political viewpoints, and character's are laid out on the table, plain as day, especially with songs like "I'm my own Master now" and "The Hot Wind Blowing" Besides, why does it matter if the lyrics are cheesy or too shallow? I'm here to play as a cyborg with an electric katana, who fights a Brazillian man with a double jump, a senator with the ability to give himself the N-Word Pass and immunity to cancellation, a nihilist who dodges by literal self bisection, a robot dog with a chainsaw for a tail, and a crazy war-enthusiast with a pair of scissors, as long as the music kicks ass, it doesn't matter. Edit: And to the one person in the chat who said something along the lines of "The buffalo, the first animal we all think of as a follower" That's a sheep When talking about "Blind followers" and "Herds," most people think of sheep. You're trying too hard to prove your point.
