Umbral Ultimatum vs Heir Transparent
Which is the better Homestuck track?
Umbral Ultimatum
Heir Transparent
Umbral Ultimatum From Homestuck Vol. 6: Heir Transparent By Toby Fox Propaganda: "Jade: Enter gave me CHILLS the first time I saw it, and it was entirely because of the music. Each moment of it was matched perfectly to the video and the way it brings in different leitmotifs at the exact moment is so amazing. And the instrument choice too! The way it goes into a shamisen solo when becquerel leaps into action, the way it switches to an eight bit sound when the trolls show up! And the way the music slows down for a split second for that bittersweet heartbreaking effect the moment Karlat wakes up on Prospit just in time to see Jack, a man he thought was his friend, destroy everything- only to go straight back into that fast paced sound, the way it builds up to a musical climax and then stops at the end, as the carefree leitmotif plays. Itβs over. Sheβs in. Every second of this song evokes a different emotion and itβs a wild ride, and itβs all tied together by the prominent use of the courser leitmotif which in my opinion is one of the prettiest in Homestuck (shake itβs only in two songs). I cannot express how much I love umbral ultimatum. (Just um to add to what I submitted about umbral ultimatum, I wanted to reword and reiterate that part where it slows down to mention that like, it specifically makes you linger in that moment just a fraction of a second longer than you are prepared to and the effect is just emotionally DEVASTATING without sacrificing the flow of the song, it is one of the most effective uses of a very small, short tempo shift I have EVER heard and the execution is so seamless that if youβre just listening to the piece you barely notice it but alongside the video it highlights this key moment and oh my lord this song has me so messed up)" "One of my personal favorites! I can't touch on everything, so I'll touch on three absolutely incredible parts. 1: Near the end of the song, static fades in as the song shifts to a more "video-gamey" style, which is typical of a lot of the troll songs. This coincides with us seeing Jack invade their session and begin his killing spree. I won't get into the flash because I don't think that's fair, but it's amazing. Part two: Midway through, the song slows down, and drops instruments until all that's left is a piano, playing an 8 note melody over and over, which comes from the unreleased track penumbra phantasm. Eventually a heartbeat and breathing fade in, and the entire moment has a wonderfully tense feel (once again this is incredible in the flash.) Lastly: At the very end of the song, Unbreakable Union, which played after the "strife" between Jade and Bec, plays again, but in a much slower and more delicate form.All in all, one of the best songs in the soundtrack, and we are blessed that in ended up in the comic. all hail."
