The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road
The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road
Road pretty frequently travelled
With just eight tracks, the album for the latest Gold Road-addon is supposedly the shortest. This is compensated for by the enormous length of up to twelve and a half minutes, but if this trend continues, seven addons in there will only be the hour-long main theme left.
Fortunately, this is not a bad thing for The Elder Scrolls Online, as it is based on the great Nerevar Rising from Morrowind, as already mentioned several times. A Legacy of Blood, Glory, and Honor is like Reign of the Septims (Oblivion) on coke and rewinds through all the emotions as a best-of before the score releases us into the West Weald. The marketing team at ZeniMax Online Studios will be happy to tell you what that is:
Venture into the West Weald, home to the wealthy Colovian Imperials and the city of Skingrad. Encounter a bountiful region first seen in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, now beset by Daedric incursions and the encroaching jungles of Valenwood.

This also explains the musical proximity to the fourth installment. So we can expect nothing really new in terms of content or music. Consequently, this score is a little weaker for me. It's okay, but not really remarkable. What a pity!
