Unpopular opinion about music

[鳳凰院 凶真]

Most Mick Gordon's tracks for DOOM were painfull to listen, it was too intense and sometimes felt like an ear rape. I don't want to say he was bad, I am big fan of his work that he had done for Wolfenstein, but I wouldn't say his DOOM OST was a peak masterpiece. However, DOOM Eternal main menu theme is the best in trilogy.

Music in Dark Ages is awesome, epic and pretty well balanced, ears doesn't hurt. Props to new composer, they done this job splendidly.

I'll say this as politely as I can.

Your ears are broken if you think this OST is anywhere near as good as 2016 or Eternal. In fact, I don't even know how you can tell, because most of the time, I can barely hear the music.

Even adjusting the levels in the menu doesn't change the fact that it's a limp, soggy, and ineffectual facsimile of Mick Gordon's work. It also doesn't react to gameplay anymore, which was such a cool and unique addition in 2016 that's now just gone.

In no category does this soundtrack manage to outdo or even approach the heights of what came before, modern or classic DOOM.

I think the music is fine in Dark Ages but my problem is there are no memorable tracks. I don't really remember any songs from it that are distinguishable, it all just kinda sounds the same.

2016 I remember BFG Division. In Eternal I remember The Only Thing They Fear is You.

Dark Ages music lacks a personality I suppose. But it certainly isn't bad.

Err, yes it does. It clearly changes when battles kick off as well as once they're finished, which makes your "your ears are broken" comment rather ironic.

baaaait, try harder

Doom's soundtrack was never good. Sorry to admit the truth that people don't wanna admit. Most people just like to pretend that it is to gas it up.

[Krówka]

I don't even hear the music in this doom, it's basically just a background, in Eternal I was killing to the rhytm of the music that dominated over battlefield.

I can understand how this to some people can be better, but in opposite to Eternal I don't think I will listen to Dark Ages soundtrack in a standalone way.

Why bait? I said it as much politely as I could. I didn't said "Mick Gordon's music suck balls" or whatever I can say for rage baiting. I just shared my personal opinion on his music. I never liked it that much as everyone do.

If I share opinion that is unpopular it doesn't mean I am ragebaiting.

Mick's music can get intense at times, but it is at least memorable. This one is... errr.... less so lol. It's basically on the the level of ambient noise in the background like water dripping in a cave, it's just there.

I completely disagree. It's boring and has no drive at all.
And in general all the sound in TDA is garbage. I don't know who did sound mixing in the game, but it feels like he's deaf.

UPD: When I played in Eternal I wasn't impressed with the music from Mick Gordon. It's like, well, music and music. But compared to TDA... It's just a disaster, Mick Gordon's a unreal genius.

[Dirty Hippy]

I think the music is ok, which is a massive downgrade. The folks who made this soundtrack had very big shoes to fill.

[Cvrly_]

Give Mick's tracks another listen but lower the volume- His mixes aren't compressed to hell so their dynamics can be appreciated on a regular listening volume.

[HulaGremlin]

the music is absolute hot garbage. im sure this is a bait thread anyway but it is literally the most braindead simple progressions over and over. its like what someone would write who was just learning to write music. and then someone went back in and added some 'epic dynamic hits' over it with the bongs and the dings and the bazongs to give it a veneer of polish and professionalism. i was writing better music when I was 17

Delusional patterns of thinking: Someones opinion could never mismatch opinion of majority. If mismatch happens - it's a rage bait.

I really like Dark Ages soundtrack and don't care about Mick Gordon's absence at all.

[JaBaDaBaDu]

The thing I hated the most in Doom 2016 and Eternal is music, even if I listen to metal and rock music, this was pain for ears and it didnt bring me enjoyment. Soundtrack in Dark Ages is pleasant to hear, in opposition to two previous releases. Its not memorable, but it doesnt bother me. Quake 2 had absolute best soundtrack in FPS back in the days, at least for me.

so you remembered one song of each game? I remember Unchained Predator from dark ages, so that means the music is equally good?
