"If buttered toast lands buttered side down, and cats always land on their feet, then what happens when you attach buttered toast to the back of a cat?

While the past Halo soundtracks are excellent, I would love to hear something new. The reason they kept generally the same songs for the first trilogy is because it all revolved around the Chief and gameplay was somewhat different but still had the run and gun, I'm the hero feel. ODST is getting a new soundtrack with much darker music to it, because the game is going to be a darker game. However they decide to make Reach, which should be extremely gloomy and dark, the music should be written to suit that style.
Agreed, however, I still feel like they abandoned the "rock" feel from Halo 2. In reality, I'm sure that Bungie will pick the correct music for the game...but I can still hope for at least one rock song/moment in the game.It all goes with the gameplay. Everything in Halo CE looked so old and ancient, it was somewhat dark once you got around to the 6th level, so Marty decided on a more traditional style, with the schola, and not many if any electric instruments. Halo 2 had that rock feel to it, even what the Marine said, "Kicking ass in outer space, wish you were here!" kinda goes with that, so a more rock style went. Halo 3 had that "Return of the Jedi" feel, Chief is coming to finish the fight, so Marty came up with the fanfare with tons of trumpets to give it a triumphant tone.
IMO, if there is a part in the game where the time is real desperate, people are dieing left and right, and all of a sudden this upbeat rock melody comes on, it's gonna feel pretty weird.
