The Trials is arranged better than anything Marty's arranged.
Kazuma>>>Marty. There I said it. Burn me at the stake. But I'm standing by it.

I was just about to post something similar.
Without Marty's work, none of these themes would exist, but damn if Jinnouchi didn't just outclass everything that has come before and made it truly, truly shine.
The Trials is perfection.
Yup exactly. Marty wrote the genius melody, but Kazuma arranged it in an equally genius and perfect way. It absolutely is perfection in my opinion . I'm so excited for the moment it plays in campaign. I feel like there'll be an even more chills induced than the chills I'm experiencing right now.
Provided it plays during a Blue Team mission.
Even Kazuma's original stuff is mindblowing e.g. Kamchatcka
Regardless I haven't been this hyped for a videogame ever. Listening to these five tracks made it so.

The revisited themes remind me of how everyone over does it with and vocal frills and gymnastics when singing the national anthem for sporting events.

It's complex and involved, but not overdone. It's more classical and dynamic than Marty's but the theme is still there as easy to hum to as ever.

I wish Trials was our national anthem.

This.

Not overdone at all. It's a fuller arrangement. Greater scope. Loftier thrills. I've been switching back and forth between old tracks and Trials and the older stuff sounds so empty and thin in comparison.
By AllIsOneIsNone Go To PostI wish Trials was our national anthem.I'd pay good money to watch you try and sing that.

I realize this is all subjective, but...
I think it's overly busy, not complex. It's just repetitive boring layers with no subtlety. He doesn't let the original theme shine through because he doesn't even finish a lot of the key melodic sections from the original.
Glad you are all hyped though, but unfortunately I just don't enjoy it. Makes me sad.
At least the gameplay is amazing
Old Halo theme to The Trials is what Halo 3 Master Chief is to Halo 4 Master Chief.
The old theme, as Wesley says, sounds too empty and basic after hearing Trials, just like Halo 3 Master Chief looks like he was designed by an 8 year old compared to Halo 4 Master Chief, which looks like the unstoppable war machine he has always been described as.

ReclaimerHub crew can confirm I did Air Traffic Control acapella a few months ago.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostOh my gosh….
Trials just mixed the best Halo songs together.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

As a music snob myself ;) (currently minoring in music, planning on switching to major in music) busy isn't the term I'd use. Sure he uses crescendos A TON, but it's a different interpretation. And just because he utilizes the brass in a way Marty doesn't really understand how to, doesn't make it busy.
You can say it's more bombastic. You can say it's too loud. But you make it sound like Kazuma doesn't have as good as a grasp on music theory as Marty by calling it busy and is just throwing crescendos and different instruments of the ensemble randomly. You can not like his interpretation or can refuse to pull out the rose-tinted ear buds, but busy it is not. The term "busy" is more reserved for Jazz music and MOSTLY post-modern orchestral pieces, switching time signatures mid measure, being polyrhythmic, and too many melodic flourishes. This is by theory, not busy, but dynamic.
Music taste is subjective, I agree, but music theory is not.

zoabs: "but i'm not a musician"
At 1:42 of Light is Green... That's a definitive "fuckin let's go kill some gotdam covies" moment. Unf.
Wasn't actually that blown away by Trials...
I prefer the original stuff (original in both senses, the new stuff in H5's ost and the old music).

I disagree almost entirely. Just because Marty didn't use brass like this guy, doesn't mean he didn't understand it. Also, I personally don't like brass--just my taste. I agree that this new stuff is extremely bombastic. The stuff I have heard thus far just sounds like the boring drivel that I can easily come up with in my own head. I think that comes from my guitar playing background. It literally sounds like someone is smashing rock riffs that ascend and descend over scales over and over and doesn't know when to quit.
This has nothing to do with music theory--that's preposterous. Jazz is not defined by being busy--that's likewise ridiculous.
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostThe stuff I have heard thus far just sounds like the boring drivel that I can easily come up with in my own head.That's a pretty damn bold claim...
By Wesleyshark Go To PostI'd like to see ya come up with some music like this Fahz.
Typical dumb response.
So sorry I don't think it's genius fellas.
By jem Go To PostThat's a pretty damn bold claim…
It's really not.
4 and 5's soundtracks feel...idk, really anxious, urgent. I enjoy the more quiet, slower pace of the originals
Always wanted to see two audiophiles go at it...
By Wesleyshark Go To PostI. Can't. Stop. Listening. To. The. Trials.I can feel it, campaign is gonna give me some serious halo wood, until the CO-OP shenanigans start...
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostTypical dumb response.You're literally claiming you could casually come up with something just as good off the top of your head.
So sorry I don't think it's genius fellas.

I'm gunna call bullshit on that one.
By RedSparrows Go To PostCan we not add music snobbery to a series already overloaded with petty snobberies? Ta.
This.

I don't fucking care what you all say anymore. I in no way implied I'm as talented as this composer. It just doesn't sound like anything unique or inventive...and you know what? That's fine. This is a stupid video game and it will probably suit the game JUST fine. Heck, I might even enjoy it in the game.
All I did was share my point of view and said I'm glad you guys are hyped, but unfortunately I'm not and I provided my reasons. Yall butt hurt now.

Fahzgoolin has been shitposting for days now. Remember when he insulted me repeatedly a few days ago, and I wrote him a detailed reply post, and he totally ignored it and didn't apologize? Yeah.
If Fahzgoolin's having a shitty time in his life right now, that sucks, but that doesn't give him the right to come on here and act like a smug asshole. I learned that the hard way, but at least I learned.

Why are you addressing him in the third person?
By Poodlestrike Go To PostThis is a really weird post.

He might have Fahz on ignore.
The Trials is good shit. And Fahz is good peeps.
No need to take anything said here super personally, this is the internet after all, keep it clean. To each their own.

By belushy Go To PostHe might have Fahz on ignore.
You'd be right.
And based on the fact that he completely ignored the post I wrote in response to him insulting me (for the millionth time despite me never wronging him in any way and supporting him when he was unfairly banned from matchmaking because of the faulty rep system), he has me on his ignore list as well.
EDIT: Someone should change it to "HaloENT Drama". Maybe have one of the doors say "Breakaway-posting"

Like you said, it's just a game we're discussing, no point getting worked up about it.
Er, Fahz is perfectly entitled not to like/love the music. I'm not sure that's 'shitposting', even as I really dig the choonz.
I don't like agreeing with Rag, but the 'slurp' (I believe that is the term) can be a little too strong around here.

If anyone says anything negative, you all seem to take it with distain.
Fuck all the positivity and circle jerking.

I ignored you because I didn't want to engage with you anymore. I would rather not give myself the opportunity to blow up at you. I don't think I in anyway need to apologize at this point.
I'm gonna go ahead and be honest with you:
You aggravate almost everyone and people talk shit about you constantly in party chats and I usually agree with them. You don't contribute in any meaningful way and now you are trying to deviate everyone's attention away from your dumbass post history and behavior by pointing out that I speak harshly with you when you consistently act so dense.
By JBird20022 Go To PostYou sure he just isn't being possessed by Rags???
I tease I tease :D
Perhaps. ;)

Thanks zoojoo, but I guess I don't belong here and never did. I don't fit in. I'm just going to remove myself before I say something I truly regret.
Peace.
Ya'll crazy let's just enjoy the new music.
Isn't there a Halo trailer tonight? Or was that the one from yesterday but released early?
