Mass Effect 3 Soundtrack - Escape from Earth (Clint Mansel)

[henriquebesing]

sad :/

[GabisonStudios]

BIOWARE WTF ! The only kid in the whole series ! How could you?!

[FellFather]

@GabisonStudios You should see the new trailer, "Take Back the Earth". Little girl with spaceship, we will never forget you!!!

[diotus21]

some bitch at ign ruined the whole kid experience for me.... why were there no spoiler alerts?! why?!?!?!!!

[LOLcat901]

i can hear the kids voice saying everyone is dying, then the tears come...

[ldrz1]

Im guessing the kid was just a image from Shepard mind thats my theory but im serious Mass effect 3 is going to have some serious emotion.

[Idonthaveanamelol]

If the Air Duct Kid had any smarts he'd know that the Reapers mostly come at night... mostly.

[mynameisSleepy]

for earth. for humanity. and for that...[sniff] the...dammit... why'd you have to kill the kid bioware?

[XEvilToastX]

If I was that kid I would climb out and be like "Hey Shepard let me tell you i'm your biggest fan."

[XboxAnnihilator]

@bahanator That's what I thought too

[bahanator]

i think the kid was an imagination, without looking into shepards experiences and how they would cause him to imagine it, how could the child move from the building next to him, to an airduct of his building, to the ground level, i dont know how far away?

im expecting to see the kid again.

[MadClownGames]

@bahanator Shepard in his kiddo days maybe? Given you are earthborn...

[NinjaBananazBRO]

@bahanator That kid's a vanguard, that's how

[MoonScenario]

@bahanator Its supposed to make the game amusing. Its a game don't think so much -_-

[InuKH2Sammy]

@bahanator

actually, if you look hard enough, you see the kid run into the building with the air duct before the reaper blows the windows out (idk how he survived but yeah) but i do expect to see the kid again. I also would not be surprised is Shepards mental state was deteriorating from Lazarus project (It really bothers me that (s)he WAS DEAD and this is never mentioned again, and concerning mass effect just getting someone from the dead with no repercussions sounds too easy)

[diotus21]

@InuKH2Sammy ever read mass effect: evolution (probably not), but it explains how the illusive man got those eyes and he might have used the same tech, maybe, to bring shepard back.

[bahanator]

@InuKH2Sammy

really? i never noticed that o.o

well, i still think what i said, and what you said would make sense, but im kinda doubtful of it happening, maybe as a result of going renegade? as that causes the facial scarring to get worse as opposed to better if you go paragon?

meh, looking forward to it :P

[Genma237]

The Music just gives me incredible Chills.....

[SmittyManX]

Kid isnt real. want reasons why? just ask.

[philosopherPL]

I will avenge you kid!!

[HawaiiNinja]

Is it just me or does a shiver run down your spine each time you hear this song? O.o

[xXMiller255Xx]

That kid didn't deserve to die... It gives me chills at 1:03 when he screams -_-.

[c4167]

@xXMiller255Xx I don't think that's the kid screaming i think that's the G forces of the ship going down.

[pu171103]

Aaaaaand this is the reason I was so incredibly excited when I learned that Mansell was doing the score.

[RealGateGuardian]

Anderson: Talk to the council, tell them to help us.

Shepard: What if they won't listen?

Anderson: Then make them listen, now GO! That's an order.

Shepard: I don't take orders from you, remember?

Anderson: Consider yourself reinstated, COMMANDER. You know what you have to do.

Shepard: I'll be back for you, and I'll bring every fleet I can. Good luck.

Anderson: You too, Shepard.

EPIC FUCKING INTRO.

[AlphaHawkP]

Figment of my Shepard's imagination or not, I'm going to avenge that kid.

That Reaper is gonna know pain.

[Gamergal218]

is it just me or can anyone else hear what sounds like a kid's scream at 1:03? it gives me chills...

[sgtpickle777]

@Gamergal218 Well now that you pointed it out... It's very haunting.

[imperial1scout]

Look, the kid is symbolic. We couldn't possibly comprehend the deaths of billions and the loss of our home on this scale. The human body can't emotionally understand that. So such events are channeled through the loss of a one innocent human life.

We're not supposed to care about the kid over the rest of earth, we're supposed to care about the kid because of the rest of earth.

[austintheng]

6th of march.... I will avenge you, little kid.

[PcGameHunter]

@austintheng The reapers are about to find out what happends when they PISS ME OFF !!

[7PHANTOM17]

"Hey that's just one less kid in the Alliance's already overcrowded daycare," said the renegade Shepard.

[jackass3563748]

@7PHANTOM17 No. Renegade Shepard would get pissed. Paragon Shepard would get sad. However, both would be ready to TAKE EARTH BACK!

[SBRS33]

This is 10 times more emotional while playing the game... those of you that have played the demo know this.

[gorboy]

@SBRS33 I agree. By itself the tune is really simple and flat, but in the game it really enhances the tragedy on screen, especially since the sound is drowned out.

[hbkfan7]

@SBRS33 I cried.



[Mxraider2011]

even if we dont have ME2s composer we still have a good one

[lastcrusader101]

i would suggest making a better version, but then the earth would explode

[12FlamezReaver21]

Someone needs to do a 10 hour version of this...

[XboxAnnihilator]

No! It's the first kid we see in the series and he dies!

[rhymenoceros3303]

Worse part is if you listen closely when the transport explodes it sounds like a child screaming

: (

[DanezWorld]

Kid: "You can't help me :("

Commander Shepard: "Bitch, I am the only one that can help you"

[paulhmoul]

This song just remembers me... gotta play Mass Effect, before the world ends.

[TedBundyDoesntLikeu]

15 days until shepard takes back earth..

[Marth8880]

I shake and get goosebumps every time I hear this... I can't stop thinking of the kid...

[BloodShotCometTF]

i won't lie, i shed a bit of a tear when i seen this scene.

[Predi180695]

Poor kid...and the face of Shepard in this moment.

[nareyio]

halo suck balls compared to mass effect!!!

[GamingEthos]

This gives you chills

[WarPig971]

The song when the kid got killed.

oh gosh :(

[underfire987]

great sound track so far , i am really really glad i preorderd this game, i want the soundtrack so bad!

[tyranus16]

Vent Boy DIESSSSS!!!

[Ishanku34]

@gosmiti Since your getting every race and fleet ever known to face the Reapers its going to be a war. Its going to be very emotional while also delivering the intense fighting this series has always had.

[iceman77922]

sorry kid... maybe next dont dill dally in a air duck.. when i tell you to come along.

[halotree18]

@iceman77922 that made me cry, shut up!!!!!

[GordonFromMineCraft]

@iceman77922 Thank you. You made my day.

[Obrusnine1]

Can't.. stop.. listening!

[jakascott21]

its funny how people are comparing ME to gears of war, they are totally different. Ones about a race of super hybrid machines known as the reapers return to destroy all the galaxy and about other political problems throughout the game like the Geth and the quarians as well as the genophage. The other is about a army of monster like enemies that came from underground destroying everything in their path and mutations known as lambent

seriously people, get your facts straight

[guyfromdubai]

@jakascott21 YOu know they're probably talking about the gameplay, not the story?

[jakascott21]

@guyfromdubai i know i ran out of room to write, and indeed gameplay looks the same but i wouldnt be comparing the two until the actual game comes out

[thegrimreaperlt]

ME1 Soundtrack - Awesome, ME2 Soundtrack - Epic, ME3 Soundtrack - Pure Win.

[TheSonicWarrior]

I thought because Jack Wall wasn't doing the soundtrack it wouldn't be as good, then i heard Clint Mansel was doing it and i thought it would be even worse. But so far? Best soundtrack for a mass effect game so far.

[LOCUSTHATER666]

I can't wait for this game....and I love the soundtrack so far..

[Bahnaruk]

This is going to be such a great game

[Obrusnine1]

Whoever disliked is a raper... ah hem, reaper.

[CtounCold]

Clint Mansel?

and I thought why such a cool soundtrack.....definitely waiting game!

[wallhackergotdammit]

What's up with trolling Halo??? Both games are super great!...... Best games ever actually : /

[TheSucessfulTroll]

@wallhackergotdammit Great games, but not "best ever."

[Obrusnine1]

@TheSucessfulTroll At least not Halo. But there isn't any use comparing them anyway, they are completely different.

My personal opinion makes me believe that Mass Effect 2 is the best game ever. But that isn't everyone's opinion, its mine. But Halo's production values don't even come close to reaching Mass Effect's level.

It doesn't have the acting, writing, or soundtrack to come even close.

[wallhackergotdammit]

@TheSucessfulTroll Like what? Do you have some games to recommend? :)

[Kibafangover]

Going to be one hell of a game, really hope this finishes the first ME trilogy with a fantastic ending.

[FireSignd]

OMG look outta your window,theres a Reaper!

[Arppis]

They did a smart choice in hiring this guy. :)

[ASGStudios]

i think the batarians might be a little sore to help out shep.

After the Arrival: "I have a question towards all Batarians... yhuu mad?"

[Joshua32024]

One of us is a Reaper!

[ogge125]

@Joshua32024 You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.

[TheWatchmen1476]

Humans become extinct!

[JoesGuy]

This will not only shit on Skyrim, but hopefully incite new "humour" for the moronic populace to latch on to and forget arrows to the knee.

[SeveranLicht]

My boy Clint Mansell!!

[TheRBGTV]

@gosmiti Their are over 75 endings in the game bioware said...... so don't worry friend you will get the war that you want if earthier way because of the choices you made..... so their will be blood and WAR!!!!!

[gosmiti]

@TheRBGTV 75, You serious!? Holy shit, I did not know that.

thx

[DarkBraelyn]

@TheRBGTV There are NOT 75 endings... o_e

[axiosriot]

@DarkBraelyn

from what bioware has said there are 75 outcomes not different endings. One possibility is you defeat the reapers but at the cost of humanity or another race, things like that.

[chris200830]

@gosmiti i think it'll be a huge ass war. i mean, shepard IS rounding up all possible allies to counter the reapers, right? so..i guess we'll just have to wait and see *fingers crossed*

[wkunzelman1]

@gosmiti I trust Bioware. They're amazing at story-telling. They wouldn't let a game end terribly. I have a feeling that this story will stick with the player long after the console is turned off.

[TheSurefireGamer]

@gosmiti With the possibility of everyone dying hinging on the decisions you make in the game, I think it's safe to say we'll get that Fucking War.

[ShieldIV]

@gosmiti I played the demo, and as soon as this music came on and I saw the kid die, I had fire bursting out of my heart... It better be fucking war

[Antichrist2000]

@gosmiti a computer virus would never work on Reapers because..well Legion can explain that to you, but...think the only way to go is a super weapon... I mean we are supposed to win this not have the game end on a quiet or sombre note.

[TheFullthrottleOwnag]

@gosmiti at the end of this level, Shepard says he will join all the other species in the galaxy and bring back a huge fleet, as a counter attack. to me that sounds a bit too epic :D

[epicwoolstar]

@gosmiti Oh I'm pretty sure you'll have your war... I just hope Miranda won't get indoctrinated, or else I'd split up my veins.

[havik206]

@gosmiti um well theres a possibility u might be disappointed cuz according to info the illusive man is tryin to seize control of a prothean superweapon discovered on mars to take control of the reapers and make humanity the dominant force in the galaxy lol.

[Kibafangover]

@havik206

The Illusive man has been indoctrinated and works for the reapers now.

[lolusuck386]

@Kibafangover that better not be true you fucker.

[ThaneFTW]

@lolusuck386 It's not, he's speculating. Although the Illusive Man was originally supposed to turn into a smaller version of a Reaper, when the character was still in development.

[Kibafangover]

@lolusuck386

First of don't call me a "fucker". Secondly Bioware have said this is the last of Shepard's story. But they said that doesn't mean the end of the Mass Effect universe.

[teamlord13]

@Kibafangover without sheperd there is no universe. its just a deep dark place full of stars.

[TheCyberToad]

@gosmiti don't worry, from what I've heard you spend roughly half the game combing the galaxy for an Apple laptop, model circa 1996.

[gosmiti]

@TheCyberToad rofl!!

[Darinl79]

@gosmiti sucks to be you. they use a dark energy weapon called the crucible, ancient prothean weapon that wasnt completed by Proth's. You spend ME3 going around saving different species and getting their help in building the crucible. key component ends up being the heart of the citadel.

[gosmiti]

@Darinl79 -_- spoilers...

thx anywai.

[r0dybuen0]

@Darinl79 you just ruined my day. You better be happy...

[DarkBraelyn]

@Darinl79 Why would you post that here?

[nareyio]

this game will be the best of 2012!!!!

[xajeyx]

The dislike was Sovereign. For not being able to be there

[TaePoDongIII]

Where did this track come from? was the OST leaked or something? Any source? Thanks.

[X9TerrorfireX9]

@TaePoDongIII Its part of the Leeked Demo, its a sad scene where a Reaper kills the little kid Shepard tried to save. :[ Gets me every time

[TomehLove]

Holy shit, I had no idea Clint Mansell was doing the soundtrack for this game. I'm so excited now. <3

[1337kingFTW]

Clint Mansel...the same dude who gave us Requiem for a Dream (Lux Aeterna). This guy is a badass!

[190shepard]

i buy both ps3 and xbox 360 but first i gona play mass effect 3 and save galaxy then kill didact or last precursors in halo 4 and the destroy helghan and and stop chimera killing humans in resisrance

[captshavers]

shepard took a reaper to the knee, and walked it off

[cloudgirl150]

0:00-0:30 is my favorite, if you repeat that for 2 mins I would like this X100 :)

[RemAgher]

does anyone have chords to this song to play it on piano?

[190shepard]

i loved halo once but mass effect is better game

[BlackHawkRA]

@190shepard still love both,buyin me3 and h4 this year!

[maso0102]

You could easily make dubstep out of Reaper noises

[FellFather]

Reapers sort of remind me of the tripod constructs from War of the Worlds.

[cloudgirl150]

@FellFather EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!

[gosmiti]

Its not a game, its an interactive movie.Speaking of which, tinyurl dot com / d2ya4r7

[MainHeretic]

Ah yes, "Arrows", the inanimate ammunition of wooden projectiles allegedly embedded in a guard's knee... we have dismissed that claim.

[Arppis]

@MainHeretic

BUT THE ARROWS ARE REAL! THEY ARE IN THE DARK SPACE! WAITING FOR FUTURE GUARDSMEN!

[teachmehowtofudgie]

@MainHeretic I died laughing at that comment hahaha thank you for that

[FoAmY99]

@MainHeretic Garrus: "Arrow to the knee you say? Well I took a missile to the face."

[xHugoxN7]

mass effect 3 will be sad the music says it all. i don't want it to happen but i believe that shepard will die with a bang.

[95Arbiter]

i was going for halo 4 but this song changed my mind.

[ManijakTotalni]

This is the opening song when you run away from Earth and when you...have to make The Sacrifice...

All I know is that many shall shed the tears of helplesness and remember them as heroes.

So...if you wake up one day and it's a particular beautiful day, know they made it...

[TheAceHunter15]

You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it. . .

[Drogmir]

This scene sent chills down my spine.

It gives you a very clear reason of what your mission is and why you as Commander Shepard have an obligation to save Earth even when no one chose to believed you.

[xAGHOSTx]

@Drogmir were it real life a renegade shep would say screw you im drinkin a beer

[joedatius]

ok both games have things going for them halo has good multiplayer and mass effect has every thing els

[mrcodypettit]

The arrival is close. Then end is near. it is not our end. but theirs.

[theeventhorizonX1]

@ausi4x4 amen to that brother!

[sweawm]

For Mass Effect 3, it seems that the Reapers have raided the set of Inception and stole all their fog horns.

Every time a Reaper appears, Harbinger sounds his over sized fog horn. BBBBBRRROOOWWNNNNN!!!

[thomaseshuis]

@sweawm You might as well argue that Inception took those sounds from War of the Worlds...

[etocadet]

the whole song

watch?v=Lg1ElmVQ2pw&feature=re­lated

[Anthropyification]

Earth needs Her children now more than ever.

[LeVaughnX]

And this is why Halo can fuck off.....Mass Effect has a beautiful story with a "realistic" threat.....Earth wouldn't last ten minutes if the Reapers invaded the Halo Universe.

[Caboose913]

@LeVaughnX either way halos fun like mass effect

[LeVaughnX]

@Caboose913 Mass Effect >>>>>> Halo.

Halo can suck my nuts.

[caralon3105]

@LeVaughnX Hey hey watch it. I like ME more than Halo, but Halo is still an enjoyable series.

[LeVaughnX]

@caralon3105 Halo 1 and Wars >>> other Halos. Single Player is > Multihomo.

[SuperSonic193]

@caralon3105

I agree. I love Halo, but Mass Effect is better^^

Best Video Games series:

1. Mass Effect

2. Halo

3. Assassin's Creed

4. The Elder Scrolls

5. Gears of War

So, this is my opinon. :)

[chris200830]

@SuperSonic193 i totally agree with your opinion :)

[SuperSonic193]

@chris200830

Ahh Tank you ^^ :)

[eyeam19able]

@caralon3105 the search begins.

[CheapytheHutt]

@caralon3105 It always pisses me off when people try to compare two games from two different genres. "Hey guys, what do you like more: apples or bicycles?"

Here's a thought; why not enjoy both?

[Skyhawk02]

@CheapytheHutt Actually I prefer bicycles, I never seem to go very fast when I try to ride an apple.

[gorba4ef]

@Skyhawk02 Trying to ride an apple tells quite a great deal about you :P

[LeVaughnX]

@caralon3105 You need to fuck off boy.

[FoAmY99]

@caralon3105 Someone should put this music to clips of Reach being glassed.

[MOHtier1FTW]

@caralon3105

Heres to hoping 343 outdoes bungie.

[thegrimreaperlt]

@caralon3105 No sci-fi game has a better storyline than Mass Effect. No console sci-fi shooter has better multiplayer than Halo. Simple as that.

[Caboose913]

@LeVaughnX well thats not nice

[MrLiveforfootball]

@Caboose913 Mass Effect is not "fun" its epic. Emotional and beautiful.

[MrProudanselmo]

your world will burn until its surface is but glass!

[gosmiti]

I get the feeling that no matter how big your army is or how soon you return to earth, the planet is still gonna be completely fucked.

[WarHammer3451]

@gosmiti Me too. They will destroy Earth, the most beautiful planet.. We need a revenge for that.

[LeVaughnX]

@gosmiti If we don't lose Earth I'm going to be pretty pissed. I want to see Earth fall...but I want to take some fucking Reapers with it. Let Humanity prove we don't just care about ourselves, by sacrificing that which we hold most dear.

[loludde]

It's...

Beautiful...

[wonderfullgamernmb1]

some resemblance to Lost soundtrack, but first 32 seconds!!!

[ComrnanderShepard]

Well, I know it's supposed to be a sad track and all, but in my opinion like it isn't part of Mass Effect.

In fact, it even reminds me of the Halo soundtrack.

I think Clint Mansell isn't the right guy for the job, but that's just me.

A pity Jack Wall left, but att least Sam Hulick is back. There is yet hope for a great soundtrack.

[Aljeron100]

@ComrnanderShepard

Not only Sam but also the people who composed Arrival and LOTSB soundtracks which were pretty damn good tracks. :)

Also Hulick promised that synths will be ramped up in ME3 with both the orchestral and synths complementing the other. Just check out the Collector Edition trailer to see what I mean.

[ComrnanderShepard]

@Aljeron100 I just watched it. The track there really does sound great.

[TheChuchulainn]

@ComrnanderShepard Bullshit. I barely tolerated the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack; the first game's soundtrack was superior. But with this, my hope is restored in epic Mass Music.

[ComrnanderShepard]

@TheChuchulainn If you tought that the first was superior, how can you even think this fits the Mass Effect universe?

This is MUCH more like the second one than the first.

[Msdimwitted]

@ComrnanderShepard For the record, it's the piano that makes it Halo like. And for the record, it fits for where you are. You are escaping your species homeplanet. Escaping. Everything is going down. The Piano is needed, for the lonely tears feeling. The cresendo and the foreboding space noises make it somewhat recognizable as Mass Effect. Music is a very subtle art, especially for Games with such a defining theme.
