Also, Matt Ulemen is no longer doing composition or sound designing for Blizzard. He is now a part of Runic Games. Which is super sad because D3 music isn't going to be as good. ):
Diablo 2's Tristram music was just an arrangement of Matt Ulemen's original Tristram instrumental. And even then, all they did was tack a few minutes onto the end. So... there's not a whole lot wrong with saying "The Diablo 2 version" versus "The Diablo 1 version."
I like it. I don't know why you are all bitching. The only way you fags would have been happy is if they didn't change the theme one bit. As nice as the old theme is, I wouldn't want it implemented in this game.
I need to stop reading user comments on youtube, it's infuriating how people can be so full of shit! There is NOTHING wrong with the theme.. this trend of clinging to the past and hating on everything new is really annoying :/
@S0ryiu No, he just hates how everyone hates on everything that's new. That's his opinion, and you hating on it and putting words in his mouth is so hypocritical it makes me laugh.
@SchoolBoyToTheRescue What the hell are you talking about it. I'm not hating on anything. All I did was say that the reason many people prefer the old one is because it is more melodic. (how is that putting anything in anyone's mouth?)
@S0ryiu Wait -- now I'm confused . . . you said, "I need to stop reading youtube comments, too many assholes like you think their opinion is the only one that matters."
Using the exact same phrase ZelousSceptic used sounds like mockery to me . . . but you said you meant to send it to someone else, so . . . okay. :) Sorry for being a smartass then.
lacking the smooth feeling, the string sounds forced and sudden. the chills and scary atmos of diablo should be like a ghost haunting at the back of your mind, getting more so slowly but firmly. not this sudden popping scare-box style.
This is undergraduate-level composition. Uelman's score is absolutely timeless, and stands on its own as a wonderful piece of art. This is a meager and pandering homage. Without the genius of the original, this piece would make no sense at all, and even as stands, it's a waste of 2:11.
Jesus and what are you expecting from a NEW location which is NEW tristram? This is not the tristram since it's splitted into 2 parts, old one with cathedral which is nothing but ruins. And new one. Completely new one. It's not the same.
Haters need to stop. Seriously, I'm a huge diablo fan and have been growing up with all of the diablo games. Diablo 1 was the first game I've ever played. And Diablo 2 was the beginning of my MMORPG experience. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this theme, It's new, original and good. I don't want a copy of Diablo 1, I want a new game but with the same basic principles
Just aweful, the original was lengthly, dynamic, yet subtle. It hinted at the darker tone of the game while still only eliciting new and unknown sensations of being in the first act.
Now though it's short, uninspired, and loaded with grimdark synth samples.
Cool! A shitty song! I'm so glad Blizzard doesn't exist anymore, and we can continually be exposed to a plethora of expansions for the only 2 franchises Activision-Blizzard made.
Lol, of course its different theme than the theme from d1 and d2. If it was same, you will complain about blizzards creativity. You people dont know, what you want.
Personally, I think it's all about whether the music suits the game or not, and of what I've seen, so far, the Diablo 2 music would be far too 'funky' for Diablo 3. I love the music for Last Ninja and Last Ninja 2 on the C-64, but if you swapped them around, the soundtracks would sound horribly out of place..
Matt Uelmen is genius. We can't expect the music in D3 to be as awesome as it was in D1 or D2. But hey, it doesn't sound bad at all and I love that dark vibe they have given to it.
where the fuck is the melody? theres absolutely NOTHING memorable about this fucking song. this is a disgrace and does not deserve to be associated with the words "tristram theme".
i've played diablo since the first game came out when i was young and ever since i first fucking heard the tristram theme that song has stuck with me. way to fucking blow it blizzard. im going to pirate the fuck out of this shit game and buy torchlight instead so i can listen to Matt Uelmen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find it great. Reminds of the original one but with a more dark and demonic theme. The sounds are nice, rather chilling, I think. It's deep and catching to my opinion. I really like it. The instruments are great.

Nice, but it has a more similar feel to a spaghetti western than to the old diablo 2 theme, which i prefer.
The composer probably gave a lot of his personal touch. We'll see later if it blends fine with the atmosphereof the game.
