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.
Das ist bei The Elder Scrolls Online zum Glück nichts Schlimmes, baut es wie bereits mehrfach erwähnt auf dem großartigen Nerevar Rising from Morrowind auf. A Legacy of Blood, Glory, and HonorBrad Derrick wirkt wie ein Reign of the Septims (Oblivion) auf Koks und spult als Best-of einmal alle Emotionen durch, bevor uns der Score in die West Weald, zu Deutsch Westauen, entlässt. Was das ist, darf das Marketing-Team von ZeniMax Online Studios gerne mal sagen:
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!
