The music

I was not impressed with the music in Doom Dark Ages trailers. Think the game will have better soundtrack or that was the best they had to offer?

I know Mick Gordon is a tough act to follow, so am I just being too harsh? It just sounded generic and repetitive after being used to 2016 and Eternal.

What's so special about Mick Gordon's music? Everyone reacts and sings praises.How metallic and sharp it is. Haven't people heard metal at all? Mick Gordon writes music in an electronic style with computer editing. Guitar and, most importantly, drums do not stand out in his compositions. Drums are the basis of metal. There is no metal in them. Mick Gordon is club music.

That's metal.

Mick is not metal. its Electro Industrial with digitally edited and synced guitars, its basically like KMFDM or Ministry.

Here's real metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjb0j9l1sz4

No, of course it's not metal. It's country music. Are you a fool or a troll?? Or do Mick Gordon's fans really have no taste and don't understand music?

This is much worse than KMFDM and Ministry. There are examples of a good metal soundtrack in games. These are Quake 2 and Painkiller. And Mick Gordon's music just sucks. It's just boring empty electronics.
