finally, a good Animal Crossing soundtrack.
I don’t know why so many people dislike the New Horizons hourly music, I think it’s far more catchy, funky and varied than all those, samey plinky plonky New Leaf songs that often lacked a discernible melody. Yeah it’s a different genre to the other games but it fits the island theme better.
I also find the change of pace in the various New Horizons songs better fit the time of day. Like 4pm sounds like you’re winding down for the end of the working day day, the amazing 5pm is the perfect “going home from work” music and 6pm feels like the start of the evening etc.
But the main issue I always had with New Leaf OST was the night music was far more beautiful and interesting that the day music, especially the stunning 11pm. Wild World was even worse for this. Loads of weaker and even more forgettable plinky plonky daytime tracks but stunning night music when I hardly played!
The OG GameCube Animal Crossing was always my favourite though. The catchinesss and strong day music of the New Horizons soundtrack plus a whole lot of quirkyness and weirdness. I have a feeling that a lot of people who dislike the New Horizons hourly music started on Wild World so were more accustomed to music that faded into the background.
