Halo 4's soundtrack is my second favourite. I prefer ODST.
Pretty much this.
People just toss around statements like "it's generic" so much, it's simply not true. The only track that even comes close to that is Ascendancy.
Belly of the Beast, Requiem, Legacy, Haven, Solace, To Galaxy, 117, Revival, Nemesis and green & Blue are some of the best tracks in the series. Legacy is the first track in 8 years to topple In Amber Clad from the top spot for me.
Davidge did a fantastic job. I genuinely felt like I was on an odyssey of orchestral brilliance, and despite the range of musical emotion from alien electronics to bittersweet violins and choirs, the Halo 4 OST feels like one solid, living, breathing, entity. I found the music tapped into a deeper, contrasting set of emotions, filled with dread, and a far off sense of hope.
That is what Halo 4's story set out to deliver, that's what it accomplished.
