Free Music Notes for Silent Hill 4: The Room - Original Soundtrack [Audio CD]Free Music Review: Some of the most interesting music i've heard Hit: 5 Stars
Akira Yamaoka is a musical legend. He is a master at fitting a soundtrack to dark and haunting visuals...and, without the visuals, you still have the effect. I do play the games, but i've nearly become more of a fan of the composer.
The music in this soundtrack is more in your face and straight to the point. This soundtrack isnt filled with the same old orchestral arrangements and cliche'd sounds. Some tracks (like "Confinement" and "Remodeling") are in your face, telling you to feel fear. Other tracks (like "Resting Comfortably" and "Pulsating Ambience") create a gloomy atmosphere, yet is still highly enjoyable to listen to at home, on the train, basically anywhere.
To put it simply, this album should be bought by people who listen to experimental and ambient music. If you're refusing to buy this simply because it's the soundtrack to a game and it might feel a bit nerdy, just ignore these thoughts. I listen to a wide range of hardcore punk, reggae, doom metal, funk, jazz, blues, etc, and this in my opinion is one of the greatest collection of songs i've ever come across.
Free Music Review: The best score of the series, after SH 2, of course! Hit: 5 Stars
The tracks on SH 4 are superb, dark and mysterious like the others and with the same industrial undertone.
I believe that this score and SH 2 are the best in the series. The other 2 ( SH 1 and 3) are both great, but SH 1 is more noises and SH 3 doesn't have the same depth ( its a little too 'pop musicy').
I don't know the exact names of the two tracks I like the best on this score, but one is a dark lullabye and the other is featured in the game when the protagonist comes out of the hole and is confronted by his neighbor about how she can't go with him back to his room, and she didn't see him go through the hole, he just disappeared. The song is also featured in the behind the scenes in the Silent Hill movie dvd.
Get this score and SH 2, as they are both fantastic and a great addition to any silent hill fan's library.
Free Music Review: totally recommend Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is great for either the silent hill fan or person trying to create a dark atmosphere in their home. Perfect for Halloween! I actually bought this cd for a party but liked it so much that sometimes I put it on while studying or working. If you want to preview the music there are some good videos on youtube that you can find by searching by song title.
Free Music Review: Nice soundtrack! Hit: 5 Stars
Silent Hill 4 was not, IMO, one of the better SH games, but the soundtrack, by Akira Yamaoka, is entirely worthwhile. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is here too for a couple songs. If you like creepy atmospheric music, give this a listen.
Free Music Review: Absolutely stunning! Hit: 5 Stars
Akira Yamaoka is a musical genius. His use of sound and sense of emotion is incredible, very few artists show such mastery over their craft. His music is haunting and yet very delightful to listen to. Highly recommended!
