What do you think about the music from New Horizons now?

[BetsySundrop]

I like the music in general, but when it snows at 8am, those ear piercing chimes on certain notes..... I had to turn the volume way down. Cant wait til spring!

 

[Firesquids]

It's fine, but I do miss the music from new leaf as well. I like the weird quirky 4 am music though.

 

[Shinjukuwu]

Of course some tracks are hit or miss, but overall, I still enjoy the soundtrack. Wild World reigns supreme still though!

 

[dizzy bone]

Overall, I do enjoy the NH soundtrack! There are some tunes that have become my favourite of all time from series, like the new years day theme and 5am! Hearing these tunes for the first time had a really big impact on me which is why I love them. NYD was an unexpected surprise and made me think about how much time and love I put into this island. And hearing 5am for the first time after doing my first all nighter decorating was amazing. I'm also into funky beats so I'm fine with a lot of the songs that most people dislike. I miss the nightly tunes from older games though and I feel like some tunes don't fit their respective hours. I love listening to AC music while I play, so if I get sick of NH music sometimes I'll play the WW soundtrack, which is still my favourite of all time

I didn't like the soundtrack when NH first released, but it's grown on me.
That doesn't mean that I like all of the hours though.
2pm does my head in, but I would also like to hear more of the morning hours, as I don't normally play at that time of day.

Would have been nice if they have keep the music simple like older games did. I would not say no to a dlc that let me use the older soundtrack from their older games instead of acnh

I like the New Horizon music but it seems like there are less musical soundtracks in New Horizons than there was in Animal Crossing New Leaf. I LOVED the songs in New Leaf and how they changed every hour. Some of the best music in New Leaf was in the night time. I'm happy that New Horizon's kept the song that plays in the Nookling's shop during the last 10 minutes they are open.

I am glad majority vote is people dislike the soundtrack, specifically hourly themes. Maybe the team for ACNH will read the room and allow us to toggle in-game music and sounds for that sweet quality of life update thats never coming. All I wanna do is listen to ambience at this point. Theres no saving the music when it all sounds the same

 

[JessieOfSeacowBay]

Unpopular opinion, but I hate the 5pm song. And I just really miss the old music in general.

 

[BetsySundrop]

I forgot to add! My favorite music in NH is actually when I visit the nook miles islands! I love that music...

 

[Boidoh]

I think this might be my favourite tune in the game.

YES!! I was thinking that too. All of these people loving it, and I just found it to be incredibly jarring. Like I don't know why, but for some reason, it feels like the afternoon music is winding down, like you're getting ready to leave work and just settle down for the night. And then BAM, here's this soundtrack that sounds like you're playing a sonic game and about to go downtown to the casino. It's such a shock for me because I'm down for that chill sound of 4PM.

I love the morning music!! I feel like it really gets you pumped up and going at first, and then kind of settles down for lunchtime, then the afternoon is just chilling like I mentioned. I also really enjoy the night music, particularly from 9PM through midnight. Then I'm not so fond of the music from 1AM until 6AM, except for the 2AM hour. Don't know why, but that hour really resonates with me too.

EDIT: But overall, I still really like the music. I'm just not as fond of some parts as others, and it's really just the 5PM and the 1AM tracks that can grate on me.

 

[Jacob4]

honestly i usually play the game with sound off because the hourly music feels so lacking and each track feels so samey to the point where i'd rather not listen to it. none of it really left an impression on me, whereas in WW and NL the majority of the tracks left an impression on me and each track felt unique

i honestly wish they'd just give us an update where we can use the hourly music from past games, allowing us to select which version we want for each hour, but i doubt that'll happen

A-are you me??? Musical soulmates!

I didn’t hate it at first, but I’m bored of it now. And after watching a Youtubers play through from the beginning, I have to say I quite like the mellow guitar music before the hourly music is unlocked and I wish I could have that all the time.

 

[Elias_]

I wish more of the soundtrack sounded like "Timed Event" or the nook mile islands. I don't know, ever since New Leaf I prefer acoustic instruments in Animal Crossing's music. It just feels more relaxing to me. Those two songs in particular sound like something that also could have been in NL.

 

[Manah]

The music doesn't annoy me, but why so much main theme?

 

[bam94-]

I love it. I never really hated it though. At the beginning I found myself missing the soundtrack from New Leaf, but quickly grew to love the New Horizons soundtrack.

 

[Scrafty]

I still have the same opinion. I like most of the daytime tracks from 8am to 6pm. The night time tracks I just find boring. If I'm time traveling while designing things on my island I'll usually change the clock to the daytime because I get bored of the late night tracks.

 

[-Lumi-]

I feel largely the same as I did when the game first released. I don’t hate the music but there are certain tracks that I dislike more than others. I think it’s the 4 Pm or 5 pm track in particular that whenever it comes on I’m just like “oh... cool.” But I had tracks like that in New Leaf as well!

I just wish we could opt to either turn off the music entirely or make it a little bit quieter!
