ALBUMMER! 53: Sonic Adventure 2 Soundtrack

This week on Albummer! the gang is talking about the Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack with Hard Drive Magazine editor Jeremy Kaplowitz. This album was so good it even made Jordan consider buying a Dreamcast.

The crew behind Two Minutes to Late Night are here to re-review some of the most critically reviled albums out there!

I can generally tell if someone on the internet was the generation after me if they say Sonic Adventure 2 and its music are good.

Emily the Hedgehog really DOES have huge tids.

Edit: Now that Jordan is a GAMER, put him on Arcade Pit.

Coheed doesn't have a Gathering, but they do have a cruise called the S.S. Neverender.

We weren't really allowed video games when I was a kid, so the first console I owned was a Dreamcast. I got it for ÂŁ20, 5 years after it was discontinued. I mostly just played a lot of Soulcalibur.

Emily's story about her being told she couldn't play as Tails anymore broke my heart.

The surreal moment when Knuckles is reviewing an album wherein he himself is featured as an esteemed rapper.

This is an unjustifiable conflict of interest and I demand Knuckles' resignation forthright. The first time we needed a distinction between Jeremy's; we didn't have one. We lost that right.

Jordan - Sonic

Emily - Rouge

Lucie - Amy

Jeremy (Sonic) - Knuckles (RIP)

Drewbie - Eggman (sorry)

Jeremy2.0 - Shadow

Someone really needs to fact check the Sega being bought by Nintendo part... because that didn't happen ;D

Fun episode though.

I listened to the four hour version of this album as well, which probably dramatically lowered my opinion of it. However, Sonic music does indeed honk.

@notdrew: This information has cleaved my soul, thank you for this.

Kinda nice to hear some non-gamer folks praising Sonic Adventure 2's soundtrack. People in games media at the time would always talk shit about the "butt rock" or whatever and it came off as lame attempts to seem cool.

The Dreamcast ruled, but Sega ruined their reputation with the Saturn so it only lasted 2 years before they stopped making consoles all together.

If you’re going to do an album by a band that does songs entirely about niche video games you have to go feet first and break hearts by doing Act II: The Father of Death by The Protomen.

No, for real, do Ecco the Dolphin on the Sega CD. It's a real trip.
