Picked up the first one on sale last year, and it was surprisingly good. Hopefully this one is just as good.

Thanks.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks one-winged angel is just a miserable-waste-of-space-and-time-piece-of-shit? Its not even that good a piece, its repetitive and dull, its been done-to-death WAYYY TOO MANY TIMES by Square themselves and even more-so by unofficial work. Its a shit-streak on this album and the ff-series as a whole. It seems like the only reason its on the album is to please uber-ff7tards.

Critiquing the album itself, not the uploader. You rock.

They're not overhyped, they're professionals. Its Andrew Skeet that let you down or possibly x5 Music "group"

Orchestra groups around the world are just paid to play what they're told to. How things turned out is usually based on the sponsor, or the conductor, rather than the musical group on their own. Of course I'm really just guessing here... Maybe Cello player #2 and Viola girl #3 really pull the strings (get it?!) behind entire operation behind the curtians o:

The orchestration here is top notch no doubt...its just the chorus of the first song which just killed my interest..
They really need to train their choir...the choir didnt hit the musicality that Lorne Balfe intended
At the very last part when the choir came in..it didnt had the sense of depression (not sure whether depression is suitable)
Their just like getting the notes right and dont even bother to even express the notes...
haha but it is still a really good album :) Cheers

Batman: Arkham City - Main Theme

YES!

And to the poster a little above, yes, I agree, One Winged Angel is pretty overdone.

As with the first album, some of the choices just baffle me. Did nobody notice that the synth pieces from Deus EX and Arkham City feel out of place with the rest of the album and sound horrible even when played by a world class orchestra? In some cases it's still popularity over quality I see (Enough with One Winged Angel already, how many zillion versions do you need?). Then there's no Glados voice in Still Alive (the only good thing about the song in the first place) ... AND NO LOWER NORFAIR IN THE METROID SYMPHONIC POEM. WHY??? First the OGC and now this... :(

Still, with all that said, it's a great improvement on the first album. I enjoyed it a lot more. Overall more good choices than bad ones. Let's hope Vol. 3 steps it up a notch.

Ah and one more thing: That cover looks stupid (even more so when there's no music from a Modern FPS on the album!). How about a cover with a famous video game icon somebody wrote a Symphonic Poem for ;)

Yay, the first album is pretty good, here's hoping the second is along the same lines. Thanks!

I'm still surprised League of Legends hasn't had any music for any of these "Video Game Music" albums yet. It is one of the most popular video games right now, so there is no lack of fans, and it has plenty of themes to choose from! No single piece that could be extended into one big track, as we see here, but I see no issues with a good old fashioned suite.

First of all, cover says it's the London PHILHARMONIC Orchestra, not the London Symphony. If this was performed by the LSO, this would go down as one of the worst recordings i've ever heard from them. I am thankful it wasn't the LSO.

The mixing in this album was absolutely horrendous. Just listen to One Winged Angel, snare hits, cymbal crashes, chime hits can barely be heard. Even the normally bright sounds of the brass are extremely flat and boring. This is true for every track.

The performances were all mediocre as well. I'm not saying the LPO is bad because they're not. But everything just sounds very uninspired. Could be conductor's fault as well. Although, the bad mixing probably contributed to this uninspired sound as well. Very disappointing album.

The best track on the album is Super Metroid. Skyrim is worth mentioning as well. I was looking forward to the Chrono Trigger one, but the arrangement just wasn't doing it for me. The Portal song is out of place here, if i wanted the vocal version i'd just get the original version. But overall the terrible mixing is the biggest fail on this album.

I give this 2 out of 5
