Jogs post above illustrates my earlier point about the english lyrics... It was enjoyable through all the bits that this lady was not singing. And I'm not saying that her singing is bad. It certainly is way better than Mallukah. Instrumental music works to enhace our own perception of the world in our imaginations but when you add in lyrics it immediately becomes a spesific story. It cages the imagination to a predefined path and mostly breaks immersion for me. Lyrics that one cannot understand are a different deal. They cannot cage the imagination as such because words that you dont understand are just undefined sounds like an instrument. I am also wondering wether Darth Trethon has any idea what musical cohesion and atmosphere in a work of art, such as this game, means... Every genre of music ofcourse can have it's place, but you cannot just suddenly drop a completely different style of music (dubstep in this case) in the mix without it feeling out of place. (AND we know from the pieces already provided, that this games soundtrack is not going to be dubstep.)

I agree, finnish artists are superior choice to anyone else So "Pikku G" rather than Jeremy Soule for an example. Way to go.

Bleaargh. Seeing the OP made me want to be very rude. I suppose questioning the taste of anyone who thinks Malukah is great gets me nowhere, the temptation remains though... So I'll just HINT at it. From the pieces of music introduced through the Kickstarter, I'm sure that this project is in good hands musically. Orchestral and instrumental music are the safest AND the best bet when it comes to game soundtracks. Theme songs in english just have a high risk of ending up embarrasing and unimmersive. Skyrim has a pretty good soundtrack but hearing those damn embarrasing tavern songs just makes me mute the whole game until I can tell the bards to shut the **** up. I don't really care if people enjoy Malukah. As long as I don't have to be subjected to her ****. Yeah. My objective opinions, but this thread has no value beyond voicing them.
