I'm pretty sure Butcher Pete is about a guy who likes to eat out other guys' ladies.

Emaline:
Uh......

Yes, he finally met his faith
But when they came to pay his bail
They found him choppin' up his cell mate

I mean, I guess dude could be giving him a beejs, or eating his ass. Nonetheless, interesting to hear other perspectives.



Which isn't to say you are wrong. It totally makes sense. It's the first time that anyone has ever brought it up to me, and even my boyfriend and I have tried to figure out what that song really meant on a number of occasions. It's just really interesting.

I'm pretty sure he was saying he thought the soundtrack was great, the only problem being that it didn't have enough songs on it, so he contemplated adding more songs from the same era as the songs on the soundtrack to it.


I loved Fallout 3's soundtrack. Without a doubt hands down loved it. I listen to the GNR online radio station. I think it fits in well with the crazy distopian setting, or I guess provides an interesting contrast. The music is upbeat and cheerful and sort of rubs in the fact that you are so fucking and will never see another blade of grass ever again growing in the barren wasteland you call home. Also, I mean, songs like Butcher Pete are just insane. It's an upbeat song about someone who likes to chop people up. Plus the music is mostly 40's and 50's music, which fits in perfectly with the games sort of space age retro-futuristic setting.


So in all, I found the soundtrack perfect.

But this is coming from a girl who wish the Ink Spots could sing at her wedding.

That's fine, but I wonder how much credit you can give Inon Zur for that, considering that he composed original music for the game while someone else wore the hat of Sound Designer. I mean, hey, I'm sure Zur had input or was at least aware of what other stuff would go in and what wouldn't, but his own orchestral shtick is easily the most forgettable stuff on the disc and the whole thing ends up basically relying on licensed music. I like the Inkspots too, but the Fallout games have been using that era of music since before Inon Zur ever got on board. Even the choice of "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" was pre-ordained: it would have been used in Fallout 1 but they ran into licensing issues.

Basically, I'm criticizing stuff like this, not the Ink Spots. It is competent enough, but it could have been plugged in from any of Zur's other projects. I've played damn near every game the guy has composed for. He's by no means a hack, but man, could he ever afford to mix it up a li'l.

Cire27:
That song you linked sounds like music inside of Orgrimmar.

Alex C:
Yeah, I should have really just stressed I meant the original music composed by Inon Zur as opposed to the whole soundtrack. Would have probably saved a lot of confusion.
