My info

Most of the CD is a bit too "strong" - big battle tunes, but without any deeper idea. But end of the CD 1 and whole short CD 2 rescue this soundtrack from being only "average", because here are few really fresh and melodic themes. [7/10]

User reviews

"Slaughter" (by Darth Nefelim, 29 Mar 2005) [6/10]
I was listening this soundtrack at the background and suddenly surprised of an curious fact: I've listened not less then 10 tracks but found no changes in music. :) Yes, that's right - this soundtrack suffers from very little variety between compositions. They're extremely heroic and full of courage, it's nice to slaughter each other listening this soundtrack. But I have several doubts it's nice to listen this during usual every day job.
