As a Zerg player, I find myself popping on the SC1 soundtrack. Only the SC2 Terran music and the bnet login really remind me of SC1. Sadly, I think Zerg got the short end of the stick when it comes to music style. We went from a heavy lead guitar track, to a thumping ambience.
I wish the Zerg/Toss music was in the same style as SC1 music. Am I alone?

To be honest I heard P least of SC2 to I'm probably least qualified to judge Protoss SC2, but at the same time, I thought P had the worst SC1 music.
I find Zerg to be my least fav SC2 music =(

sc1 terran music defines starcraft for me
I feel the same way. I miss the Zerg lead guitar, it personally gave me a more "badass" impression n set the mood for you to destroy your enemies better. Was replaced by the new bass thumping ambience track that sounds much more fitting to Protoss SC1, with an occasional overdrawn strum of the guitar...
I never shut the Zerg SC1 music. I just replace it in SC2, lol.
The original SC1 Zerg music was truly epic. The music induced pictures of interstellar battle in my head. It had enough depth of detail in it to hear it over and over again without wearing off... the new zerg music is just a chain of sound effects without melody and rhythm... it gets really annoying especially if you are a musician and pay attention to melody and rhythm.
The game isn't much hurt by the rather uninspired music, since it is not about music and you can always switch it off and play your own music... but it could be so much better with a new epic zerg music track. *sigh*
The terran music got much more attention by blizzard, since wings of liberty will be about the terran...
I hope that there will be some new truly awesome zerg music tracks comming with the zerg expansion... (in a few years?)
But the Zerg voices are obviously just a placeholder for the beta. I would be surprised if they would release the game with those sounds, knowing it is actually Blizzard behind the wheels. They are simply put just too bad for a Blizzard game..
Aside from music the sound effects for me are a bigger issue
"Wee requiree more mineralssssss" -_- Not cool, blizzard. Probably a large part of it is nostalgia, but I find myself listening to the sounds for SC2 and going 'wat'
Only Terran has decent music tracks in SC2, the soundtracks of the 2 other races are utter trash. Really doesn't matter though if you play with spotify open in the background but yeah, would be awesome if they changed/tweaked zerg and toss music.
the music is much less memorable with much less strong elements, I can easily remember the terran theme from sc1, but to be honest I can not think of any melody of a song from SC2
what I find much more worse are the unit sounds, especially zerg, weak
I agree that SC1's music was much better. I think Blizzard's music has gone downhill a bit in their latest games because they seem to try to make the music blend into the game and into the background more and in turn the music is less memorable, filling more as ambience than music. It's kind of disappointing
EPT
heh
