Halo: Original Soundtrack Reviews
Good score and put together very well. This disc is great.hands down. When I listen to the tracks it perfectly reminds me of playing the game. I put this up there with Advent Rising as to how the score folows the game and everything fits together so well.
Besides the memorable main theme (punctuated by strong a cello section), I found the majority of the album lacking spirit or liveliness, that is, boring.
Bought the CD, very happy with it, and throw it in my stereo once a week or so and play it once through on random. The music is diverse enough to keep you interested, but not so disjointed that you notice. I'm not a huge gamer, but I liked the music I heard when I first turned on Halo.
This is some great music if your a Halo fan or just a fan of music.awesome. I loved the music in the game but wasn't sure if it would have the same affect listening to it on my ipod.but it does. I got this soundtrack not really knowing what to expect since i had never purchased a video game soundtrack.
The irresistable "Opening Suite" with its chorus and strings is easily one of the most unforgettable tracks on the disk. If you played Halo and are looking for the soundtrack, or if you're looking for really good music, you'll enjoy this. The "Mad Mind" has spoken. "Drumrun" and some of "The Long Run" are mostly percussion works. Even if you haven't played the game, this soundtrack is definitely worth it. "The Maw" is all chorus and it is truly one the most beautiful songs ever.
"Halo" is the track most people can associate with the game and is also the one song that is found throughout most of the games. As a proud owner of all 3 Halo games and frequent player of them as well, the first soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks. The only issue with this one is that I wish it could've been longer. From there, it just gets better. "Library Suite" is eerie atmosphereic but done just so well. Favorites: Opening Suite, A Walk In The Woods, Under Cover Of Night, Covenant Dance, Rock Anthem For Saving The World (the best)., The Maw,On A Pale Horse, Library Suite, Suite Autumn, and Halo. "Halo" a mix of electronic, classical, chorus, and rock. Everything else is also a good listen.
I highly recommend it. You have the beautiful works such as "Under Cover Of Night" then "Rock Anthem For Saving The World" explains itself. Then it breaks into the long "Truth And Reconciliation Suite" which has a blend of all the memorable tracks from the game.
