And WTF with people saying it's OK "in the context of the game." It's not in the game.
huh, really?....what the hell is the point of having a soundtrack that's not music from the game?
The point is to create a buzz through cross-promotion - fans of the participating
bands might check out the game and maybe even buy that super deluxe rip-off
collector's edition, fans of the game might check out the bands' music.
I've said it a million times but God of War has never been about heavy metal music. Also, it's an instrumental because they didn't have time to get James down to do the vocals.
More like they didn't have the time to actually write lyrics for James to sing.
Of course there's a way to work around this problem. It's simply called "writing
before entering the studio", something they were once pretty damn good at.
