Can a kind soul upload detailed photos of the 2-CD softpack, please?

There is also a booklet inside, with tech credits and notes.
I played disc one and I think Damian's initial relentless comment lowered my expectations a bit.
It wasn't as full on as I anticipated and there are some softer and/or folk/Celtic style cues.
It didn't sound as thematically strong as the first score to me, although plenty of the themes from GOW1 do reappear.
Disc 2 still to play.
Solid work from Bear Mc as usual. I'm sure it will grow on me with subsequent listens.

Fair comments, kEv. I liked it more on second play, well disc 1. Nothing wrong with the music as such. Maybe I was a bit overwhelmed or half listening.

I'm making my way through Disc 2 now and some of it is mighty great and powerful.
It (D2) opens with a more gentle passage (To Forgive Or To Kill), recalling the tranquil beauty/power of LOTR-TROP and I love the organ and beat in track 3/Muspelheim & Nilfheim (shades of Morricone).
Actually, a lot of it echoes the wondrous work he did on the Amazon/LOTR series.
It's epic scoring, that will take some time and effort, but I imagine the rewards will be well worth it.
It still all feels like Bear's own muscular take on Basil's CONAN scores to me.

Shitty packaging AGAIN!
Still better story than NO CD RELEASE.

For anyone interested, a couple of weeks ago Santa Monica Studios announced God of War: Ragnarok - Valhalla. The accompanying trailer featured themes from the original series, not heard since God of War: Ascension in 2013, alongside McCreary's own themes. Here's hoping that we'll see a release of the new music written.

How does the Valhalla EP compare to the two main scores?
