Guild Wars - Amazing music; badly used

I like the GW soundtrack quite a bit also. Some of it is very catchy. And yes, sometimes it's overshadowed by that annoying battle music/background noises that come up. I used to play with sound on all the time, but over the past some months, I've played with it off and listened to my own music. (I have the soundtracks anyway though. XD)

I love the GW music, definitely one of the best I've heard in a game. I have all the track downloaded actually, usually just play them and get a mixture. Theirs a bunch of songs in there that I didn't even know existed.

Some of the music I enjoy, a lot of it isn't heard much with the stupid battle music floating around...
Yeah, the music was badly used. The worst pieces I hear the most and the best I rarely hear, so I've muted the game and listen to my own music.

You get many different styles there... well...
But not only electronic music. Also rock, heavy and even arias..
Sword of the New World is horrific because of its awful, laughable, jarring, out-of-context, oft-anachronostic music. :/

I love Soule's stuff in pretty much every game he's written for. It's not supposed to be at the forefront of the game, it's supposed to just set the mood. For those of you complaining that it's just background music: that's what it's supposed to be! There's a couple tracks I could do without though... as several people noted, the battle music is annoying, and there are several tunes in Nightfall that I just find unsettling.

I love all the ambient music, the battle music gets annoying after a while

Ps. Elona Reach/Seekers Passage outpost music, my fav. seems A-Net have changed the music in tho's places, how dissapointing.

The combat music, however, isn't. It's supposed to be combat music; with Nightfall and EotN it feels like Soule wasn't really trying - the combat music feels half-hearted and weak.
