Smash, Pass, Trash: Call of Duty: Black Ops – Zombies Soundtrack
Disclaimer: Completely subjective opinion! Remember that before you bully me 😦
Pros?
This is among the holy grails of all video game soundtrack music. This is what got me to APPRECIATE the art of video game soundtracks. Every song on this record is something you will hear at some point while playing regular Zombies or Dead Ops Arcade. The fact that every song is MEMORABLE, is what does it for me. Not to mention, Kevin Sherwood and Elena Siegman are HUGE musical inspirations to me for introducing me into heavier music as well as how melodic it could be. Special shoutout to James McCawley and Brian Tuey for composing these songs as well!
Cons?
I cannot fathom a single wrong thing on this soundtrack. Every song is a bop, every song has its place, and it’s just one of the best things to bestow on your ears if you like instrumental dance/electronic songs in between heavy metal tunes. Best of both worlds.
Afterthoughts?
If you don’t like Call of Duty, COD Zombies, or Zombie games overall, you’re missing out. The creepy-ness in the electronic songs such as “Raining Teddy Bears” and “Laughing Corpses”, the pulsating dance beat of “Twilight”… besides Kevin’s metal composing, James and Brian’s electronic compositions have allowed me to better appreciate this genre of music in a time when I was still a rock youngster in high school. I learned that I CAN rock to this too!!!
Rating Scale: Smash, Pass, or Trash
Rating: HARD SMASH A ZOMBIE’S HEAD!!!
Yes, I’m biased, but I try to be as clear as possible too, in case someone wants to genuinely listen to record. By all means, please listen!
