(MycroProcessor) This is very repetitive but that isn't a bad thing. I love that really bizarre marimba part right before the lo5op, where it just keeps removing a note until its the same note repeated over and over. It's so MINIMALIST that it's almost silly but that makes it awesome to me. it als5o has5 re5ally aweso5me whole tone-ish things and simple but interesting t5ransposing everything around as chord changes. WOW I LIKE THIS PIECE IN GENERAL it has a funky -243134346. AND THIS SOUNDTRACK HAS AWESOME SAMPLES. snare
When your only commentor is Mycro, you don't need anyone else chiming in, because jeezus dude. The song itself is very cool in a chill sort of way, but the one thing that I find completely uncanny about it, even though there's really no "context" for it, it's way less effective outside the game. I'm really not sure why, but when I got to the area where this song was played, I just found myself really loving this track. When I hear it outside the game, it's just meh. I can't figure out why, in this case, that happens to be.

(Ytterbium_70) Wait, that full song for zombies is 13 minutes? Goodbye sanity
(Mega Mana) Long, but rather enjoyable
(Vengeful_KBM) I have heard a million musical epics like this. Almost all of them were better. Wow. Ouch.
(Kenri) For what reason was this song created? For what reason does it continue to exist? Answer me that. It went on for 13 minutes. It never had a single minute that was above mediocre. Why does it still exist?
I think this song is a riot, not because it's necessarily all that funny by itself, but because it just perfectly compliments the half-assed-ness of the game it comes from. That, and, if I ignore the grating annoying singer and decide to listen to it simply for music's sake, I can actually get into the 13-minute jamfest. If I was feeling generous, I could have easily ranked it higher than I did, like Mana did, who not only gave it a 5 but also put it fairly high on his overall power rankings. Everyone else just looked at me funny for draining their sanity.

(Mega Mana) Wish this were longer
(Tom Bombadil) Waywayway too short. Had potential but I blinked and it was over.
My complaint is the same as the two guys above me -- it's too short. However, I do like what we have to work with. There is a track on the game's soundtrack that includes most of the menu song...I can't remember what it is...but I don't recall the rest of the track adding much of value. Either way, I just like the mood this creates, and just like the Marathon song, this one's just a main menu song, so you listen to it for exactly as long as it takes for your savegame to load. Granted, with Myth, that was often a while, but the track is effective at what it does.
