Listening notes
Metal Gear Solid: The Vinyl Collection, released by Laced Records in 2024 under catalog number LMLP217KN, is a six-record set drawing music from across the Metal Gear series. Spanning twelve sides and roughly fifty tracks, the collection covers titles from Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake through Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, with additional representation from Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and the original Metal Gear Solid.
The sequencing moves broadly through the series chronology while mixing approaches. Side A opens with "Metal Gear 20 Years History ~Past, Present, Future~," a fourteen-minute piece, before moving into Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater material that continues across sides B and C. Sides D through F draw from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots alongside tracks from the original Metal Gear Solid and Portable Ops. Sides G and H are weighted toward Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, including the nearly ten-minute "Alerts & Cautions." Sides I and J cover the Metal Gear Solid V entries, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain, in sequence. The final two sides, K and L, shift format entirely, assembling shorter tracks organized by game in parallel columns, presenting one piece per title across each side.
Total runtime across the twelve sides is substantial. Several individual tracks exceed five minutes, and the collection includes both medley compilations and standalone cues. Genre credits list Stage & Screen and Video Game Music.
This is an unreviewed draft. All track titles, durations, side assignments, catalog information, label, and release year should be verified against primary sources before publication.
