Attack on Titan
| I wasn't impressed by any of the new tracks so this may actually be true. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| I agree. The new tracks are not the same. Kohta Yamamoto isn't on the same level. His music isn't earwig and also somehow boring. |
| RE:ZERO !!!!!!!!!! |
| false marketing again like the pre-animated PV? |
| Yeah that is true . They're just reusing past tracks . Is he even working on this ? I heard he's working on 86 which is supposed to air this year |
  Something that’s supposed to die and doesn’t… will eventually rot away , whether it’s a man or a nation |
| He technically did, but they're remakes from his previous music, like most of his songs on S3P2. They were pretty noticeable on the Marley attack episodes (Eren finding where was the person controlling the Warhammer titan scene and the Colossal Titan explosion scene are the ones I remember from my head). |

| I still like "Ashes on the Fire" despite it being Kohta Yamamoto's work |

gabisimp said: Title. Not a single track we've heard so far sounds like something he would make, and the only reason why I think he got a "collab" credit with the new composer is because they still used tracks from previous seasons. He did some remixes of old tracks like the xl-tt remix in ep 6 near the end and the one after Armin transformation which was slightly different so he is still involved even if his role is marginal |

JJ_jose said: People saying they can't hear any new tracks or think they're not good are just either plain deaf or ignorant, I'm sorry, but there's been quite a few new ones. I've already gotten 4 new OSTs stuck in my head, can't wait for the official soundtrack to release. Also how the hell do you know sawano hasn't made any new themes? If I recall, kohta said that sawano would be handling most of the music on the paradis side, so until the actual official soundtrack comes out, you don't know shit of what he actually made this season 😆 Sawano has a noticeable style though, he might've made 1 or 2 new piano tracks, but other than that it was all probably YAMAMOTO (not including the new versions of older tracks) |
| Yeah, it's a shame we haven't received anything original from Sawano this season, but hopefully he'll be back for the grand finale next season, because I can't imagine some of the content being adapted without some his epic scores behind them. Most of Kohta's tracks have been competent, if not forgettable at times. He has however, produced a couple of very good ones like the one during last episode when Niccolo was talking, and the Paradisians vs Marleyans OST at the start of Episode 7. |
| Sawano did work on new tracks this season, some have already been put in many episodes but the vast majority of the music this season has been remixes from the first season and Kohta's work. However, I'm sure we will see a lot of Sawano's music in the next part to this season. |

That stands for "Original Soundtrack" which is the entire catalogue you compose for a piece of media. Not one song in it like what everyone calls it. But uh, "wELl aCtUallY" moment aside, the title of this post is wrong. There's been 4 new Sawano tracks in this season. I've been listening to his works for years and I'm very familiar with his compositional style to be able to recognize what he's done and what hasn't. Either way, Yamamoto himself said that Sawano has made some tracks, and we've already heard some of them. - Reiner's suicide attempt in Episode 3 has a fast, dissonant piano improv playing in the background. That's a new track, and I can tell with certainty that it's Sawano because he has a pianist background and has done a lot of tracks like that before. - There is an arrangement of the Levi vs Female Titan theme from Season 1 that plays when Mikasa arrives in Episode 6. Well, "arrangement", more like slapping guitars and drums over old songs and calling them new (main issue I have with things like Apple Seed that recycle older songs), but that's unfortunately nothing unusual for Sawano/Yamamoto sequel works. - Same thing as above but XL-TT. Notably played when Mikasa fights the Warhammer, and when Armin transforms. - During Mikasa and Louise's talk in Episode 11 there's a new piano melody that most likely stems from an orchestral track that we haven't heard yet. I am willing to be on that, as regardless of how much of the workload Sawano has given to Yamamoto in sequel works before, he's also done one "new" melody and variations of it. I'm looking forward to hearing it, personally. As for my own opinion on the music situation, unfortunately as someone who follows Sawano's works regularly I am used to this kind of thing. He's brought up Yamamoto to take over sequel seasons a lot before because he already said that he's tired of composing for action shows and already had trouble coming up with new Attack on Titan music during Uprising considering how much music he's already made. That, and this season's production schedule probably didn't give him enough time to come up with much either. He's busy with the latter films of the Hathaway's Flash trilogy, 86, and a bunch of other projects we only know about from tweets. And as for Yamamoto's music, personally I think his orchestral/action tracks are lackluster and very "EPIC HOLLYWOOD TRAILER BOOM BANG" which I'm not a fan of personally, but his more tame, quiet tracks (like the one where Willy and Magath talk in the carraige) are cool and I'm looking forward to those. Admins should close threads after someone tells the truth like you, so people won't spread lies and thier own speculations anymore. Nowadays, everyone tries to be an expert on everything and blows their speculations on others. |

Finally, Thank you |
| Someone already said it here, but there have been Sawano tracks, they've just been slight remixes of old material. When it comes to Yamamoto's stuff, I think it's been great personally, plenty of atmospheric tracks that add weight to the scenes they're in. The obvious stand-outs are Ashes on the Fire and the Warhammer theme, but a personal favorite of mine is the track that played during Eren's escape. It's been used a few times and I don't recall if there's been different variations but it's impressive how the same piece can fit so many different scenes with varying tones. Willy/Magath convo in Episode 4- mysterious Gabi and Falco riding Lobov up to the airship- suspenseful Eren escaping prison- sinister Mr. Brause's forest speech- hopeful |
| Are ya winning, diners? |
| Yeah I've noticed this too. I still like Ashes on the fire though |
 |
| It's dishonest to say he worked on this season when all they are doing is reusing old tracks |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| New OSTs have been great imo, and Sawano is probably busy making tracks for part 2 since he is part of the production. |
| I use Arch, btw. |
| That probably explains why the soundtrack quality has decreased significantly. Especially in episode 14 the choice of music was quite horrendous imo. |
