Music reviews of Borderlands: Original Soundtrack
Music Review: A good game soundtrack. Would have been nice to have the songs included for completion sake.
Rating: 4 Stars
The actual game music to this game is excellent and 100 percent effective in the game.
Apart from the game as a listening experience, and I say this with all due respect to all of the composers involved, Jesper Kyd's tracks stand head and shoulders above the rest quite easily IMO at least. You can listen to the MP3's of the tracks here I think or certainly at Sumthing Else's own site for the album.
I'd say if you really wanted a Best Of Borderlands soundtrack for yourself and wanted to save a few bucks, then buy the Jesper Kyd tracks MP3 and if you wanted you could get the two songs right here on Amazon:
[...]
It's that easy! :)
It's too bad some people were in such a rush to express their disappointment about these two songs not being on the album that they put up rather unfairly harsh "reviews" that just aren't fair or accurate IMO.
Sure, it would have been nice to have the two songs on the album for completion sake but it really isn't the end of the world and it's easily rectified. If you're into actual game music then chances are you know who Jesper Kyd is at least and that right there should tell you that you've got some incentive to make a purchase here of some sort. You know right away that this isn't a 2/5 star product with his name on it.
The reason I didn't give this 5 stars and gave it 4 is because the non Jesper tracks are not nearly as standout as impressive to listen to apart from the game IMO and for the exclusion of the two songs.
Past this, there's only one other "downside" to getting this soundtrack:
If you're a fan of the game you've probably put in a lot of hours which means you know this music all too well. Way too well. It's an easy hazard of overexposure and repetition. ;)
It'll be a long time after I finish with the game before I can fire this album up. That's just the way I am. ;)
I tell you which track I'd really like to have: The music from the General Knoxx DLC that plays in the Crimson Armory. That is a gorgeous track with a real orchestra and even choral work. It almost has a little bit of Elfman and Zimmer going for it. It might be the outright best music track in the entire game and I'd salute whichever composer did that track and I'd love to have it. If anyone can track that down let me know. Thanks!
