So... lets talk about the soundtrack... It needs to improve
I think it can improve and I really hope it will in the next episodes. The soundtrack of episode 1 wasn't that special for me. I honestly think the soundtrack is the most important thing next to the story itself. Its what gripes the player in a really good scene. S1 had some really good songs, like Armed with Death, Clementine's theme. S2 with Payback, Two Sides, and Carver's theme, and S3 had some pretty good ones as well, like the one that plays when fighting David. These are just examples, there are of course a lot more good songs in the series. I just hope they step up their game with the soundtrack in episode 2-4, cause right now it was just generic tension and action music.

I thought it was really nostalgic. The way they placed the music in scenes was way better then ANF as well.
The soundtrack isn’t that bad... it just needs to be louder cos u can hardly hear it
True
Yea, but I just hope the soundtrack will be better than some nostalgic songs. But then again, it was only the first episode so there is still room for improvement for the next episodes. The soundtrack of the games usual get better in episode 2- 5 (now 2-4)
thats right,even in S2 the music volume by default was just way too low,had to turn all the effects and voices way down and the music to the max along wit the system volume so i could hear that shit
The standout tracks to me were Violet's theme and the track that plays when they get the food from the train station and bolt out of there. Not a lot stood out aside from some throwbacks.
Same with ANF. I think my favorite track was the one that was used the most, but it had the most impact for me when Javi and his dad were talking at the beginning of From the Gallows. That and David's death theme, which was just a more powerful version of that same track.
I thought all of the original tracks were great, and they picked a good set of returning tracks. I especially love that the new tracks play into the loading screens.
As much I love the nostalgia that's going on this season I will appreciate some new osts....but if they won't its fine by me if the game is as consistent in quality as the first episode was.
Waiting around to die though!!!!! I must say that I have never heard it before intro sequence but hearing how it embodies the general atmosphere of game and Clem's situation really blew my mind.
Such a beautiful song, and if it counts as game soundtrack, then its a gem worth the level of Take Us Back power.
