After doing the music for all of the major updates, it only seemed natural that I went the next thing and did the expansions. Again, as should be expected from me now, this is a "high quality" rip in terms of presentation. You get two different album covers to choose from, the files have been edited and merged to remove silent spots, and they have all been named and ordered in a "chronological" order.
Well, perhaps chronological is not the best of terms. As this is an MMO, and there are several ways that people will progress from area to area as they level, that is probably not the best word to use here. What I did was start off with the starting zones for the new races that were added - the Blood Elves and the Draenei. From there we go to the first Outland zone: the Hellfire Peninsula. One of the final quests in that zone has you fly to the major city in Outland, Shattrath. Now, the zone that Shattrath is in - Tellredor Forest - is a few levels higher than Zangramash. However, I placed the music from Tellredor before Zangramash because you technically go through Tellredor before reaching Zangramash.
From there, I just went up - from Zangramash to The Blade's Edge Mountains to Netherstorm. We then go to the final zone of Shadowmoon Valley, which is way at the bottom of Outland.
After finishing up Outland, we go into the three Caverns of Time instances - Escape from Durnholde Keep, The Opening of the Dark Portal, and The Battle for Hyjal - and finish up with the Karazhan instance.
So, with all that said...what about the music itself? Well, with so many composers, the expansion pack touches a lot of musical ground. That is also it's biggest weakness - the music goes all over the place in terms of style, and it doesn't have much solid footing because of it. I mean, with one track you could be hearing something orchestral in nature and then hear one of Uelmen's ambient tracks.
I also feel that this is one of the weaker outings. Despite coming under new leadership, the Blizzard sound team was still very firmly in their roots. The music overall doesn't hold much of a punch - it is very much a part of the landscape, but it never takes your attention from the game itself. Many composers would say a good score is one that is invisible, and that is definitely felt with this one. The next expansion packs - and definitely Cataclysm - you see the music start to become more and more dominant, and you can see the roots taken hold here. The music is leaps above what was done with World of Warcraft, but it is not quite thematic yet and thus weaker as a result.
