Since #medalofhonor is coming to VR.... @m_giacchino ....are you composing the score?????
Yes! I have written all new themes for the new game (and of course you will hear some of the previous themes as well). Worked with the amazing @namicomposer on it and she wrote an amazing score around my new material.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is my favorite score of the year -- and that's saying something. It is a treasure-trove of orchestral riches. Giacchino's new themes are wonderful -- "Juliette's Theme," in particular, is a knockout -- and Nami Melumad does an outstanding job of weaving some classic and new MOH themes into a score that doesn't overstay its welcome even after 80 minutes. Would love a physical release, but that's perhaps asking too much in 2020. LOVE this!
for me its a tie.i love a&b as much as genshin impact but for enirely different reasons.moh for kickass f***yeah, genshin for calming me with wonderful melodies,especially the third album. As for Above&Beyond...it feels like a true Frontline Sequel.Hope Michael and Nami will do Rogue Squadron.
I completely agree Jason! Giacchino's new themes are great (especially his themes for Juliette and Dr. Gronek) and Melumad has ably captured Giacchino's MoH style of 20 years past. I'm so glad he came back to the musical franchise he founded, so many years later, and I now eagerly await all future work of Ms. Melumad.
I missed this when it came out at Christmas time, but I just circled back to it, and wow! Instant buy! I figured it’s worth bumping this thread in case anyone else overlooked it. The themes remind me of when Giacchino first burst on the scene (or indeed, when I first started exploring the lesser-known works of John Williams). It’s clearly a labor of love for Giacchino and an opening mic-drop for Melumad. I don’t remember the exact division of labor between them on AN AMERICAN PICKLE (if it was specified), but here it seems abundantly clear that she was given his already strong themes and just sprinted into the distance with them. Agreed that this is one of the very best of the year. Don’t miss it!
