'''-VOLUME 3-'''

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922083130/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beatdown-strider-style-2 Beatdown], the theme for [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002736 Dave's Strife with Bro] is badass...

* On a different note, the hauntingly melancholic "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130922080649/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/chorale-for-jaspers-2 Chorale for Jaspers]".

* I raise you [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003049 the EPIC ending to Act 3], featuring the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922081430/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-jungle-2 full version of Sburban Jungle].

** If you want to get someone hooked on Homestuck, this ties with [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004478 Crystamanthequins] for the best page to show them.

* How about ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130922083227/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-2 Black]'', the theme for [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003568 Jack Noir's ascension] in the one-year anniversary flash. Or [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922124122/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/liquid-negrocity Liquid Negrocity], its sorta-proto-remix. Both are pure, distilled cool that's darker than midnight.

* I feel [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922075857/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/atomyk-ebonpyre-2 Atomyk Ebonpyre] from the fourth album should be emphasized. Like, if the Crowning Moment of Awesome page had a theme song, that should probably be it, because it is awesome and has already played in two ridiculously awesome scenes that are basically the textbook definition of [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|CMoA]].

** Does anyone else think it sounds like Wily's disappearing blocks, not unlike Heat Man's Level?

== Homestuck Volume 5 ==

* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20131104182543/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/homestuck-vol-5 fifth album] has ''sixty-five songs''. A lot of them more than qualify as a [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] in their own right.

* The End of Act 4 animation brought us [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003840 "Descend"], aka: "The Crowning Medley of Awesome", since it manages to mix together nearly ''every single'' [[Leitmotif]] used in the series thus far.

* The End of Act 4 animation brought us [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922004702/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003840 "Descend"], aka: "The Crowning Medley of Awesome", since it manages to mix together nearly ''every single'' [[Leitmotif]] used in the series thus far.

** It's so orgasmic it's almost like it's having sex with your ears.

* And among the Chorale remixes, "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130922020723/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/chorale-for-war Chorale for War]."

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20140219030308/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystamanthequins Crystamanthequins], from [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004478 "[S] Make Her Pay"]. Which is also incredibly awesome, although spoilerific.

** The first part reminds me of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOCZFChafOQ "Space Dementia"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmrqi1Nhwfg "Futurism"] by [[Muse (band)|Muse]]. The second part reminds me of [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/193426 Walk-Smash-Walk] by Sakupen.

** The final bit is based on a ''fan'' piece called "[http://www.mediafire.com/?dyh1az3tzgz Mannequin]". So the ID is a bit off on that second one... if only because it actually has a tribute all to itself! ("Walk-Stab-Walk", which see)

Line 82:

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922035559/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/walk-stab-walk-r-e Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E)] manages to combine Jack Noir's homicidal nature with delightfully retro 8-bit.

** You can also check out an earlier version of the song that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDlEz6RZutA debuted in Alterniabound].

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922035350/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/megalovania MeGaLoVania], from [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005197 [S] Wake]. It's hard to describe in any way but 'metal'.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922035350/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/megalovania MeGaLoVania], from [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921193614/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005197 [S] Wake]. It's hard to describe in any way but 'metal'.

** [[Tropers/Ryumaru|This Troper]] particularly likes it for the fact that it's so easy to picture Vriska just grabbing a guitar and rocking out with this track.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922045446/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/3-in-the-morning-pianokind Pianokind] is a combination of Showtime, Aggrieve and 3 In The Morning that starts with a foreboding march of Snowman's leitmotif and segues into a bombastic [[Boss Remix]] that easily tops the three songs that produced it.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922045742/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/a-tender-moment A Tender Moment], a very touching piece that just soothes the heart.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131114150231/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nic-cage-song Nic Cage Song]. (NOT THE BEES!)

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOvvXGs-KWc&hd=1 Umbral Ultimatum], from [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004827 [S] Jade: Enter], a chilling, action-packed tune set to one of the biggest [[Wham! Episode|Wham Episodes]] in the series.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOvvXGs-KWc&hd=1 Umbral Ultimatum], from [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922065512/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004827 [S] Jade: Enter], a chilling, action-packed tune set to one of the biggest [[Wham! Episode|Wham Episodes]] in the series.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922033701/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystalanthology Crystalanthology] needed to be mentioned.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922053237/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/courser Courser] at first seemed pretty out of place other than the melody, then it [[Fridge Brilliance|occurred to me]] that the Japanese instrumentation and presentation seemed fitting for [[Shout-Out|a dog]] [[Ōkami|with godlike powers.]]

Line 97:

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922150122/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-rose-green-sun Black Rose, Green Sun], the music from [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005595 [S]Seer: Descend] (a.k.a roseterniabound) definitely qualifies.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922145933/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/at-the-price-of-oblivion At The Price Of Oblivion] is even better, the full version making one wonder [[What Might Have Been]] if the ending of Act 5 hadn't been truncated as it was.

** Interestingly, it also fits the [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004827 [S] Jade: Enter] animation.

** Interestingly, it also fits the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922065512/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004827 [S] Jade: Enter] animation.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922141641/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/awakening Awakening] is reminiscent of JRPG [[Boss Battle]] music, and would be perfect for {{spoiler|Rose and John's fight with Jack, if it hadn't become a complete [[Curb Stomp Battle]]}}.

** According to the composer, it's intended to be the theme of John's Denizen, Typheus.

Line 433:

** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylq73S2DFdo CR1M1N4L, CR1M1N4L]'', a theme for Terezi.

** ''And'' [http://youtu.be/FVyjYuzicnM provided a sung version] of Eridan's Theme from the Alterniabound album!

* [http://sparksd2145.deviantart.com/gallery/ AutoDevote] is a fairly obscure musician, who has done quite a few Homestuck fan-pieces. This Troper's favorite piece is a little remix of Atomyk Ebonpyre called [http://www.last.fm/music/AutoDevote/_/Schrodinger%27s+Session Schrodinger's Session], which sports some awesome body-rocking tunes.
