Could you upload it to Mediafire?

When I saw ME3 OST,I jumped at this thread like a panther to it’s pray.

THANKS!Forrrrrrr the Ost!…..rrrr…. 😀

real OST or gamerip?

Looks like a gamerip. The file is over 650mb.

Real ost, they are .wave files. Look at the bioware forum because people complain about it.

Looks like a gamerip. The file is over 650mb.

Flac/wav ?

@edit too late

Thanks!

Only an hour of music… it’s a bummer. And two tracks for collector’s edition – extended soundtrack my ass.

691MB O.O
Thanks!

Could you upload it to Mediafire?

What is wrong with peeje? I was confused at first, but it is so easy to download. Just click and it moves, no weird codes to enter and its pretty fast. Uploaded.to is becoming popular now, which is unfortunate since they block access from USA addresses.

For the first time I see : All download slots for this file are currently filled.
Please try again momentarily on peeje

xDDDD

Any chance of a 320k upload?

Big, big thanks! You are my Hero Twingo! Many thanks! Wuhuuuu 🙂

Anytime Isabel ^^

I wonder how much of the music is ACTUALLY composed by Mansell, and if it’s only that one piano theme it seems unfair that he’s getting most of the attention and not Sam Hulick.

Thx 🙂

Mansell composed 1 track and co-composed another track on this soundtrack…

Never trust marketing, guys.

Thanks!

But is this the CE or the real Soundtrack?

Im confused.

It’s the CE. By "expanded", EA means 2 extra tracks.

MY DICK HURTS SO MUCH.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Okay, what is up with FFShrine and really screwed up comments?

Thanks!

Thank you.

Real ost, they are .wave files. Look at the bioware forum because people complain about it.

Probably all complaints from morons deprived of common-sense, relative to being far too stupid to google "how to convert wav to mp3"…
Personally I am very glad this isn’t yet another S.E.-included OST which was pre-encoded in shitty mp3 or the like.
Thanks heaps for your upload, man. ;-D

Halfway through it, and I’m liking ME2 much better. Not saying this is bad, but the tracks aren’t really memorable, whereas many ME2 themes stayed in your mind and were on repeat for a while.

Yeah, agreed. This marks the second time I’ve downloaded a something from peeje, and also the second time I’ve felt the sense of relief and ease when contrasted with downloading stuff from just-about every other filehosting service under the sun (with the sole exception of mediafire.)

Okay, what is up with FFShrine and really screwed up comments?
Dude, you have NO idea how much cum just gushed out of my dick. YOURS WOULD BE HURTING TOO. IT WAS LIKE GIVING BIRTH TO A CHILD THROUGH MY ITTY BITTY DICKHOLE.

FUCK.

Ahh i see now thanks so much!!

I hope they do release an official stand alone like mass effect 2, because im sure theres much more music then this, Glad they kept it wave though. 🙂

I was going to wait till Tuesday to get the soundtrack but, now since it is here…I had to download it! It is quite a good soundtrack, though there is A LOT probably missing. I hope someone can later extract the music from the game, then I can edit them and put it together 🙂

My God……… It’s just……… wow.

Seems a bit of a strange excuse. Mass Effect 1’s soundtrack was missing a few tracks here and there sure, but it still had 37 tracks total on it.

Either which way, it’s sounding the weakest of the three, to be expected I suppose.

Thanks to the OP for the upload.

It’s funny how it is advertised as composed by Clint Mansell, but his name is like on two tracks or three overall? Or am I missing something 😀

Gonna have to agree with Doublehex here.

It’s evident that the production value for this score was higher than for ME2, but I found the tunes themselves lacking. Perhaps it’s the lack of truly memorable action music. No offense to Sonic Mayhem, but the action music they churned out was pretty uninspired – every one of their combat tracks sounds the same. While Hulick’s combat songs are decent, he shines more in his cinematic moments. Lennertz’s songs are impressive and upbeat but not quite as memorable as his ME2 DLC work. For those wondering, there’s no catchy "Grunt" or "Tali" kind of combat song this time around.

Another thing that pisses me off is how EA used Clint Mansell to hype up the game and he ended up pulling the Hans Zimmer videogame treatment – compose 1 theme and leave. Yes, I haven’t played the game, but considering the demand for Mansell, I doubt EA would have chose to only put a tiny selection of his work on the soundtrack. This particularly is disappointing as his theme is the only one I can remember from this score, and if he’d written more I’m sure this score would be more memorable.

Nevertheless, I found the cinematics music and quiet music much more powerful this time around, however, especially with the added piano. I’m not sure how well piano would fit a game like ME3, but it does give this soundtrack a bit more emotional depth than ME2. Unfortunately, even this music isn’t very memorable, really just predictable chord progressions and no thematic ideas. Despite this fact, I don’t doubt that ingame such songs might bring tears to many players’ eyes.

In summary, I really wish Jack Wall had stayed. There’s no juggernauts this time around: nothing as memorable as Suicide Mission, Illusive Man, Jump Drive, End Run, Collector’s Base, or Normandy Reborn, nothing as cool-sounding as Thane, nothing as catchy as Virmire Ride, Grunt, or Tali. Well, nothing we can do now. I just hope the game doesn’t disappoint.

Nobody’s ever happy.

I am, loving it completely!!!

Listen to Assassin’s Creed Revelations, then this, then please come in here and complain about the quality. (The people who are complaining.)

Yes, I am disappointed that Clint Mansell wasn’t as involved as originally expected, but it’s still the best FUCKING soundtrack of the year.

I also wish Jack Wall was brought back. But alas, he may return for DLC scores.

Thanks for the upload Twingo and 1337 for the mp3 Version 😉

Agreed Chicago1. And know: MassEffect3OST's Channel – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/MassEffect3OST/videos?view=u)
There some extra tracks in there, one in particular: A track similar to "Reaper Chase". The Brute Boss Fight!!

I think many people are forgetting that this Collectors edition soundtrack doesn’t even include most of the music. So either we must wait till they decide to release a stand alone ost or wait for a gamerip.

Thank you for the 320 Version 1337! You are my Hero too 🙂 Wuhuuuu, happy ^^

Nobody’s ever happy.

People are allowed to express opinions and legitimate disappointment on this soundtrack without you putting it all down to general pessimism.

It’s a good soundtrack, but from what I’ve heard it’s not as good as the previous two. That’s quite a high standard though. Also the amount of tracks included is somewhat underwhelming.

So, the ones dissapointed didn’t feel much after listening to it? Are you listening the same OST as I do?

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

Note though, I didn’t say it was a bad OST. Only that it’s not as good as the first two, which I own. Maybe after playing the game it will grow on me, but it didn’t grab me in quite the same way. It is good though, just not as much as I’d hoped.

Did you pay for it? Are you going to?

Just because people have the right to have an opinion about something doesn’t mean they should seek the internet for their private bitching. The point I was making is, you can’t please everybody. It’s fucking impossible. Doesn’t matter if Clint Mansell did the entire thing, and it was seven hours long. There’s someone out there that would whine and bitch.

If you didn’t spend your money on it, you don’t have the right to bitch. In my own opinion. Let’s bitch about something you’re getting for free.

I DID purchase the Collector’s Edition. I will download my own digital release, and I’m going to listen to the fucking shit out of it. I’d say my opinion weighs a hell of a lot more than the ungrateful people that just download everything for free and wait for the next mainstream soundtrack to leak.

Yep, it comes with the CE, right?

I dunno, I was fairly pleased with the Mass Effect 1 and 2 soundtracks. Putting people’s opinions down to "they wouldn’t be pleased with anything" is naive.

You of course make the mistake of thinking that everyone who is disappointed did not also buy the CE.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a worthy addition to my video game OST collection (and anyone else’s for that matter). It’s good, but not AS good as the previous offerings in the series (in my opinion). Also I would have liked it to have been longer. You can call that being ungrateful if you like, but it’s at least as valid an opinion as your horrific posts earlier about your dick.

HUUUUGE thx!!!

Many thanks for the soundtrack.

Oh my god? So quick? Thats unbelieveble! Thanks and you are my third Hero! 🙂

Well it’s not proper rip – someone like OrangeC can make it better. But I think it’s better than nothing 🙂

cool. all are 48hz sampled except the credits track by Faunts.

Thanks, I could use one of these.

anyone have the album cover for this?

Thanks for the 320k upload!

This isn’t a bad score, I actually like it! But I can hear where it feels departed from the original "Mass Effect" sound from ME and ME2. I’m slightly disappointed but I guess my mind will change when I actually play the game. I didn’t honestly like ME2’s score until I played it. So it may be the same for here.

To be fair, we haven’t heard these tracks (or at least most of them) in context yet. Maybe when Shepard is cradling his/her space love child at the end while walking away from an exploding reaper armada, the tracks will stick in a little better. (Unless they obscure the Tali baby’s face "Oh look, you’ve got your mother’s face!")

anyone have the album cover for this?here’s biohazard’s cover he slapped up on the What.CD upload page –

Hype!!!!

Thanks a lot everybody

thank you very much,good job~

It’s quite a shame how the series music has departed from the original ambient/electronic in the first game. And i was hoping that the Vigil theme might make some kind of return… either way can’t wait to play the game.

Without Jack Wall’s presence, you won’t get that world music/ethnic influence that he brought to ME1’s score, in this new instalment. That was pretty unique, wasn’t it?

That was pretty unique, wasn’t it?can’t tell if serious…

if you are though – unique in what sense? unique that he’s done the same thing ever since he worked on Myst 3?

Thanks.

@Albanoid,

Unique for a futuristic scifi, but yes, I agree that he continued to explore styles that were born out of the MYST series.

thanks .. .so far better and better soundtracks.. Jack Wall isn’t needed i suppose, in my way of listening to this… Sam Hulick did great job, others too anyway, Clint Mansells line is beautiful but very little !!?.. i pray for greater rellease… and about my presumption, MASS EFFECT 5 will be ultimate kick-ass soundtrack!!!

wow.cool!

@Albanoid,

Unique for a futuristic scifi, but yes, I agree that he continued to explore styles that were born out of the MYST series.i still don’t get why he didn’t work on this game. or for that matter why he hasn’t really worked on a game in a good while.

thank you!

Thank you for the upload. I look forward to listening to it. The Original ME is still my favourite Score.

The begining of the track "Fate of the Galaxy" sounds just like Hans Zimmer’s "Am I Not Merciful" from Gladiator.

Nothing bad really, just wanted to point out 😉

I’m still waiting for a decent Rip. I want the calm mars music without the action bollocks!

The OST isn’t bad but the last few tracks near the end were definitely not what I was expecting. I guess I was expecting the really awesome epic end music like they had in ME1 or ME2. Tracks like ‘Suicide Mission’ from ME2 or ‘From the Wreckage’ like in ME1.

I’ve only just started my playthrough of ME3 but I’ve listened to the OST a ton already. Not sure if I just had a lucky guess or had a feeling the ending would not be as epic as I hoped for but my fears are turning true … just from listening to the OST lol. Been hearing a lot of fans not happy with the ME3 ending, now I’m afraid to finish the game lol.

I don’t know if anyone else feels this way (whether you beat the game or not) but just from listening to the OST end tracks I have my suspicions on the ending for the game lol.

Agreed! There isn’t enough ambient music on the soundtrack like the prievous scores of the franchise.

"What’s your favorite Mass Effect song, by you or by another composer?

Cris: From the official soundtrack, I really like Reaper Chase and The Scientists. There’s also one (not included on the Collector�s Edition soundtrack) that we’re calling The Sanctuary that I’m pretty fond of. I know that’s three tracks but it’s hard to narrow it down to one!

Sascha: Yes, The Scientists is a pretty epic track. I also really dig the romantic theme by Sam. Oh and there�s another exclusive track not on the CE soundtrack, called �Legions of Doom.� It�s very minimal in a way but sounds very ME.

Sam: I couldn’t possibly narrow it down to just one, or even two or three, especially if we’re talking about the whole trilogy. There’s so much amazing music written by everyone who was involved. I am particularly proud of my work on "I Was Lost Without You" (romance theme), but I wouldn’t necessarily call it my single most favorite.

Does anyone know whether the song played in 8:26 of this video is included in the collector’s edition soundtrack itself?

Anyone knows why Jack Wall, composer of first two soundtracks isn’t in on this one? Seems rather stupid not to let him participate, since he created some of best ME music!

Best.
Game.
EVER.

Jack Wall has have no involvement with the production of Mass Effect 3 due to undetailed and "complicated" reasons.

This gif relates both to soundtrack presentation and game itself.

Do you know what dos reasons are?
Maybe he as well didn’t like the ending!
:awsm:

Thanks a lot for this, great score

Interesting soundtrack but too many composers. It’s the same feeling I had when I listened to the Assassin’s Creed Revelations album, where everything sounded like a Zimmer "blockbuster movie" score instead of Jesper Kyd’s style. :/
I wish there were more Clint Mansell’s work in the soundtrack.

Most likely creative differences. Perhaps he wanted to do something his way and BioWare didn’t feel like it would work for the final installement of the trilogy.

He actually just wanted to move on and he was the one who initiated the separation, no hard feelings there. He said it himself in an interview, can’t find it now though.

Thank you very much.

it wants some exploring …but it slowly becames beautifulllll!!!!! thank you very very much

Extremely Huge Thanks!!

thx

dont knock game rips they often have fuller versions of the tracks.

Thanks

You can download official Extended Cut EP from BioWare for free – ME3 EC OST (http://social.bioware.com/me3ecsoundtrack.php).

1. Wake Up (2:00)
2. An End, Once And For All – Extended Cut (4:45)
3. A Future Than Many Will Never See (1:32)
4. I Will Watch Over The Ones Who Live On (3:24)
5. I Am Alive And I Am Not Alone (1:49)
6. We Fought As A United Galaxy (1:57)
7. Resolution (1:26)

I think Sam Hulick has heard about fan love for Catalyst theme and how it’s too short. So this EP includes longer version called "Wake Up".

I appreciate it.

nice – do you have a direct link, Mach?

thanks for sharing 🙂

link doesn’t work 🙁

Mediafire link says Permission Denied, so I assume that it no longer works for downloaders. It was fun while it lasted.

As for the original link, I tried replacing peeje.com with peejeshare.com. Worked like a charm. That means the site should now be:
