I find SC2 Terran music quite brilliant actually, I like it better then the SC1 Terran music. Zerg and Toss I'm less impressed by, but I wasn't too fond of it in SC1 either so it's about the same for me.

I always felt in SC1 any non-Terran theme were forgettable.

The new themes are just produced better, with better sound production, especially Protoss with SC2. I can actually recall it after the game is turned off.

I've never been a big fan of the sc2 sounds overall, I thought that we really got cheated out of quality on that note. I'll be using brood war sounds in sc2 via replacing mpq files when the game is released unless they make it easier to do that.

I'm quite fond of the zerg soundtrack. But then again I'm a fan of ambient and drone music so that might have something to do with it. But really I think it fits quite nicely.
The Protoss soundtrack isn't really as good as BW's but not terrible. It still has the same feel, but it has a lot of room for improvement..

You should add some race-specific options to the poll!

SC1: T: 8, Z: 7, P:4
SC2: T: 8, Z: 5, P:4

In both games, the terran music is good enough that I'll notice it and bob my head or hum along, even in the middle of a match. I love how the new music references riffs from the old. Zerg wasn't as catchy as T in SC1, but I played Z and there's some nostalgia.

The new Z and both P are so ambient I don't even notice they're there. If I'm not in the mood for my own music, I don't bother turning them off. The zerg advisor on the other hand...

Oh comeon, the terran sc1 soundtrack is fucking badass, it's a classic. You can't really expect all the new tracks to instantly be as memorable and give us the same kind of feeling as listening to the sc1 tracks. I truly doubt that we would think the terran sc1 track was such a nice song if it was simply released by some random band, it's more that it's connected to the manliness and badassery that is starcraft.

That being said, i do hope that Protoss and Zerg gets some more/new music. But i'm pretty sure they will.

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.


Sounds about right. Terran is great, but the Protoss and Zerg music are lacking.

starcraft 2 terran theme music is sex incarnate.



part 4:11 that's my favorite, and man that is one bad ass mofo song! love this part is 5:30 (man so much romance on that guitar)

well after that I miss the Zerg SC 1 music and the protoss is kinda in between for me.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

The terran theme in sc1 is some of the best gaming music ever! Hell, i go crazy to that shit even when im not playing bw. I think the terran theme in sc2 is by far the best. Sadly i think protoss and zerg themes kinda sucks in sc2 compared to sc1. Once again sc1 prevails.

I agree with this that a lot of the new music is pretty unmemorable (zerg music, i literally cant tell you what that sounds like), but i love the sc2 terran music, I even listen to terran 4 on my ipod. maybe im just weird like that...

At least for me, without the nostalgia factor, SC2 would win out. But it's pretty hard to ignore the nostalgia factor when discussing SC1 Either way I don't miss the SC1 music, the music in SC2 is really great and fits the game very well.

^ And yeah, that guitar rev to the SC1 Terran theme is badass.

Toss music improved IMO, very happy with it.

I agree the original Terran themes rocked total ass and the new themes are a downgrade

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

Well I don't know about you but that's exactly the way I like it. Music being "ambience" helps me get immersed in the game and contributes to the feel of it. Music for the sake of music feels intrusive when I'm looking for a good gaming experience. And ironically, I feel Blizzard is going in the opposite direction you do.
