2015 vs 2010 soundtrack, which is better?

[HardwareRabbit]

What is the better one?

[D-ray]

I've listened both, but I can't lie to the Ridiculon.
The 2010 version is gold.

[Leonard]

2010 for sure.

[Crucrux]

2010.
2015 has some good ones but also has some terrible too

[Revelanth]

The original 2010 one is far, far better. I was in a sort of disbelief when I heard the 2015 version for the first time. It doesn't feel right comparing the two as they're definitely not on the same or even similar level.

Hard disagree. I hate this question because people see the old version through rose-tinted glasses and just mindlessly ♥♥♥♥ on the new one despite the fact that everyone praises Ridiculon's Isaac OST and Scattle's Hotline Miami OST. I honestly place them at the same level. Both have tracks that are stronger than the other but I listen to both frequently.

In fact, I uploaded the new soundtrack to youtube when it came out however long ago and put a link to a survey asking people which one they like better. Its only got about 150 responses total since then but the general consensus is more even than people would like to think.

Here's a link to the survey I posted.[www.surveymonkey.com]
And here's an image of the results so far.[i.imgur.com]

The old was liked more but not nearly to the degree people expect. The new soundtrack has a good amount of fans. When each track was voted against each other all but three of the old OST won. But the final question asks which one people like more and the results is 53% Old and 47% New. That's extremely close.

When you only ask the people that went out of their way to listen to the whole new soundtrack you are bound to find more people that like it.

Also, even your data shows that the worst song in the game is the for the entire first light world, probably doesn't leave a good impression (didn't for me for sure, I only listened to the first few when I noticed I didnt really like it that much).

I didn't really give the new one a fair chance but I already prefered Danny B. songs in BoI over Ridiculon. Re-listened to the new soundtrack now and have to say, its not as bad as I remember, the Scattle tracks are the more interesting ones in my opinion.

It may have something to do with Ridiculon's Rebirth OST actually being good, phenomenal even. They were inspired and it clearly shows. While the "rose-tinted" effect does make me give my preference to Danny's tunes I have no issue acknowledging the sheer awesomeness of new ones, several of them even being superior to the old.

Alas, regarding the 2015 SMB OST, the mark was missed a few hundred miles and while the tracks aren't bad on their own, nearly every one of them detracts from the atmosphere and usually conveys something lesser, something mundane.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make regarding the results of that poll. ~150 people are a modest sample and the only conclusion to be made is that the people don't hate the 2015 version as much as one would expect? Also, that its detractors arent as vocal as they used to be? The established belief that the old OST is better still stands.

Danny's 2010 tracks fit the game well and almost all are iconic in their own right, and is better than Ridiculon's/Scattle's

Ridiculon and Scattle's 2015 tracks aren't nearly as good, but some are really good, such as Hypertension, Doctors Orders, and Throw Another Banjo on the Fire. However, both sets up these tracks suffer from the fact they don't fit in quite as well as Danny's do, and especially with Ridiculon, just feel too un-Meat Boy.

2010

[triplecerocs]

2010, Danny Baranowsky have good design on his music, ridiculon has more a random design, which is pretty bad to hear

[pooptoilet55]

In my opinion it's close because each version has some really good songs some examples are 2015 version has Meat Continuum (end light) and 2010 has Betus Blues (hospital light) but I think 2010 is better. (MY OPINION)

[Voltaire]

2010 has better boss tracks, but I like every other 2015 track apart from those.

[Myst3ry X]

I have Super Meat Boy on switch. I honestly think that really 2015 is more atmospheric and also @Reverend Revenant I like the boss music the same between 2010/2015

[Azorkow]

I like both and I just want people to agree that both are good and enjoy them

You live in the future. People are not ready for that.
