I cannot tolerate how repetitive post-ARR music is

[Hallarem]

Some zones seem very phoned in. The idea for game music is to transport you into your surroundings / the situation and STORYTELL.

- Lakeland theme plays like an assault mission soundtrack, does not fit
- Ultima Thule's theme self-destructed the moment they made it repeat the song. It was a good song in the moment, and got ruined by making it the zone song
- Speaking of repeating, they REUSE ARR music and more sooooooo much in new expansions, it got old long ago, but they keep ramming it in, because they cant be arsed to compose a new jingle for "Hmmm, its mission time!" give me a break.
- DT in itself had a decent soundtrack, aside from Tuliyollal's theme and Smile. I just think Tuliyolllals theme was Soken being quirky and getting his way through. You earn the right to be quirky with a good story and delivering a good game, DT did not earn the right to be quirky.

Night-time Lakeland (Unchanging, Everchanging) is super lovely tho, reminds me of George Winston.

I've said this before, but Civilizations (La-hee) is a funny meme, but I kinda hate the track. Whenever I have to gather in Rak'Tika, I make a point to go during the night.

For Tuliyolal, my main issue is how alien the music feels to the city. THIS is what the city should have sounded like. Imagine if you arrived at Kugane and the main BGM was some random K-Pop track cause "uh... Asian, right?" or something like that. It's like they didn't even try.
