Style: Video game music
Primary Emotions/Themes: Soundtrack to a classic game that I lost years of my life to.
Thoughts: I remember playing this game in college for what seemed like eons. The pvp was the very best I had ever played and I honestly don't think I had more fun in death match than I did here. There are so many fond memories of the multiplayer in the game that the single player seems almost like an afterthought.
The one thing I did not remember was the music. I've always loved the Golden Eye movie and it's music, but the games music eluded me for some reason. Going back to it here, I can see why. While there are a couple of tracks on here that are absolutely fantastic, a majority of the release is forgettable - which is a damn shame.
Maybe it's because most of my attachment here is to the multiplayer and not the single player. Maybe it's something else that I'm not aware of, but as it stands I have a hard time finishing the record whenever I put it on.
Of course there are incredible tracks like the pause screen music, but that is immediately followed up by a forgettable track. As much as it pains me, I think I'm going to have to part ways with the record, as I don't know when the next time it will hit my turntable.
