Hmmm, according to Stripedlady on youtube, this is the promotional soundtrack; and not the OST
Very strange is that i thought of that; as 4 out of 21 are already shown (Always On My Mind, Creeping Distress, Devil's Laughter, Hibernation), and strangely, all in trailers (except Creeping Distress, but that was on the very first gameplay).
But it also be just wrong

Wow. Wait a sec. I noticed something about Ice.
I'm not sure how many people here have played half-life 2 but there is a moment near the end of the game where you come across portable television set with the G-man on the screen with what I think is a crow on his shoulder. Well what made that even weirder was the noise the television made. It was creepy and ominous (I'm really not sure if that was the best word to use but I'll roll with it) and it kinda did seem like it would fit in with SH.

and here's the little something that made me connect the sound to SH: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOi6-3ag ... 84&index=0
And then I listened to Ice and . I don't know how to take this. I should be happily amused by this but I just can't ignore this thought in my head that it comes off as stolen. I'm by no means saying it's bad (I actually find it to be a surprisingly acceptable, dare I say good, and the whole melody brings back chilling memories of Fermata in Mystic Air; well except for the vocal part. I think that sound outstayed its welcome after Scarlet) but I can't help but feel that the sound seems too similar to the sound from half-life. I once thought it would be a pleasant surprise if they did try using it but now I'm not so sure.
Or maybe it's just me. And maybe it is completely unrelated to the sound from half-life. Hang on let me listen again...................
Nope, something's up.
Or maybe not.

Damn, it really sounds a lot alike
It could be that Akira is a fan of Half-Life 2, or that Climax found he should recreate that music ?

Listening to the soundtrack again, and paying more attention to the middle 17 tracks, I just realized precisely how irritating and awful "Angel's Scream" is. Real talk. It'd be tolerable—good, even—if Akira Yamaoka had 86'd the annoying-as-[expletive deleted] "angel scream" every 4 beats, but I guess that would've made too much sense.
Oh well. At least the soundtrack is comparable to Silent Hill: Origins', if not better. I think.
A big problem I have w/ A.Y. is his inability to effectively employ a solid bass line. He'll frequently throw in stupid little fills toward the end of songs—esp. the vocal tracks—and they never sound good, not even in the ending themes from Silent Hill 2's soundtrack.

Lol when I first heard the weird pterodactyl noise in Angel's Scream I instantly thought that they were bringing back the bird thingies from Silent Hill 1, but then I remembered how annoying they were and how I doubt they wouldMMY wrote:Listening to the soundtrack again, and paying more attention to the middle 17 tracks, I just realized precisely how irritating and awful "Angel's Scream" is.

Also I actually quite like the little bas fills It's better than when the bass just plays root notes over and over and over again.... like in most music

So I was listening to the soundtrack again and when it comes to the last track, Devil's Laughter, I was wondering if it's just me, or does the repeated heavy breathing at the very near end of the song sound as if it's chanting "get him, get him, get him, get him, get him"?
Maybe I'm just imagining it, but for some reason that's what I hear now whenever I listen to it.

I got the game and the soundtrack today in the mail today..sadly I won't be able to play the game till the 24th. I was looking at the soundtrack and it's kinda funny cause on the soundtrack listing on my computer, the 4th track Childish Thoughts (Unused bonus track) Is miss spelled "Childish toughts (unsued bonus track). While I'm happy that the track isn't to be sued, I thought it was it was a funny little typo. The case has it spelled right though.
Oh and for anyone who doesn't have a physical cd, It's in a cardboard slip type case so I doubt it will be very good for collector type people :/

^ So is it the real SH:SM OST, the disk that you get with preorder? I'm asking because I noticed at the Gamestop site that it describes the preorder bonus soundtrack as follows:
Reserve Silent Hill Shattered Memories and receive a Silent Hill soundtrack composed by Akira Yamaoka. Soundtrack contains 18 of your favorite tracks from the Silent Hill series.
The fact that is says tracks from the series, as opposed to just from the specific game has me a bit confused.

It is the ORIGINAL soundtrack. And there are 21 tracks. One of which is actually unused.cascade88 wrote:^ So is it the real SH:SM OST, the disk that you get with preorder? I'm asking because I noticed at the Gamestop site that it describes the preorder bonus soundtrack as follows:

I never did notice "Hell Frozen Rain" or "Always on my mind" in the game
Has anyone heard them in game?
