Balsam fĂźr das Battle
The score, once again composed by Jeremy Soule, continues the tradition with well-known strengths and relies on a mixture of battle epic and irrelevant ambient sprinkling. While the latter in particular is unlikely to inspire enthusiasm, it is negligible anyway due to the game concept. After all, it is replaced by the much more exciting battle tracks such as Rhizaâs Offensive or Seraphim Unleashed at the faintest idea of a confrontation.
Meanwhile, the composer allows himself a slight evolution through the integration of rock elements, which give tracks such as Supreme Commander Reprise or Cybran Razors a headbanging momentum in the form of electric guitars. Although they also work well in the versions without strings, I like it a little better with the extra 'Spice' and it also reminds me of the work of Soule's brother Julian for Star Trek: New Worlds. In general, however, this innovation can't hide the smaller scope and enthusiasm factor that the Forged Alliance-OST has in my opinion. It's not bad, but it is somewhat overshadowed by the fantastic main game.
Nostalgia warning
The rating of the individual tracks is purely subjective and clearly colored by my own experience with the game. You can find out more in the article About Nostalgia.
