There may be some thematic elements which are the same, but overall, I find each track distinctive and unique. But hey, Rap, Country, and Heavy Metal all sound the same to me, and I wouldn't want to listen to those outside of anything.

Sorrows Furnace themed rap actually sounds like a good idea.

Ohio and Kansas do LESS than Federal minimum wage, except where the FALA applies.
(Virgin Islands and American Samoa are even lower.)

Anyway, I digress.

I love a good soundtrack, but the ambient music in Guild Wars has thus far been rather weak, and seeing as my computer doesn't like the music I downloaded in the mini-pak, no thank you.
I remember music from video games all the way back to the sound you get starting a game of pac man, and the ambient background noise eating pellets. I remember numerous catchy tunes from the Nintendo and Super Nintendo, and powerful orchestrals on the Playstation, when CD quality music was finally viable in video games. (I could humm quite a few tunes from many of those games alone. You'd be amazed at just how much music you can remember.)
I remember NOTHING from Guild Wars. Nada. None at all.

Seeing as I'd already heard the Guild Wars score was breathtaking and been dissapointed, I don't think I'm going to make a gamble on the expanded pack.
