The Official Halo 3 Original Soundtrack, created by award-winning composer Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, offers you the chance to experience the sounds of Halo® 3 and relive your battles as Master Chief with rich original orchestrated scores from the game and additional bonus tracks

Liner Note Author: Martin O'Donnell.
Recording information: Studio X, Seattle, WA.
Author: Martin O'Donnell.
Director: Martin O'Donnell.
For the third installment in Bungie's blockbuster Halo series, composers Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori offer up a whole new world of themes, while still maintaining the orchestral, modern rock foundation of the first two volumes. This time around, the beloved "Master Chief" has been replaced by a ragtag crew of "ODST" (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers), and while the objective remains the same (kill or avoid the "Covenant"), the action takes place primarily among humans, and as the player navigates the streets of occupied "New Mombasa," moody strings, jazzy piano, and even saxophone provide accompaniment. As the action ramps up, so does the music (the back end of Halo 3: ODST will feel more familiar to fans than the front), but it's the early moments that set this collection of video game music apart. One doesn't require knowledge of the game to enjoy the score, as it's got an atmosphere all its own. ~ James Christopher Monger

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars 117 Stars
I'll get this fact out of the way right now: I don't own the game. I've played through it a couple times at friends' houses and spent an unholy amount of time online. This soundtrack brings all the memories of the campaign mode back. Lots of Dorian mode usage here for that standard Halo feel and there's PLENTY of it! Personal favourites: Luck, This is our Land, This is the Hour, Behold a Pale Horse, Tribute and the most beautiful track, "Never Forget". This soundtrack is on par with any blockbuster movie and should definitely get picked up! Put on some headphones and disappear into the awesomeness. You'll be glad you did. OOH-RAH! ***A Note. That 17th track on disk 2 shouldn't be listed above. It's hidden for a reason! I almost fell off my couch when I heard it as I expected the CD was over. It's epic in an entirely different manner, haha.

Halo 3 Soundtrack

Van Halen: Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen (vocals, guitar); Michael Anthony (vocals, bass); Alex Van Halen (drums).
Recorded at 5150 Studios, Hollywood, California.
The power struggle within Van Halen was often painted as David Lee Roth's ego running out of control -- a theory that was easy enough to believe given his outsized charisma -- but in retrospect, it seems evident that Eddie Van Halen wanted respect to go along with his gargantuan fame, and Roth wasn't willing to play. Bizarrely enough, Sammy Hagar -- the former Montrose lead singer who had carved ...

Score By:Martin O'Donnel & Michael Salvatori Composers: Martin O'Donnell; Michael Salvatori.
Personnel: Nile Rodgers (vocals); Steve Vai (guitar); Flea (trumpet).
Audio Mixer: Chris Lord-Alge.
Recording information: Bay 7 Studios, Valley Villiage; Le Crib; Sparky Dark, Calabasas, CA.
Producer Nile Rodgers steps in to give the soundtrack to the video game phenomenon's sequel some extra commercial appeal. Halo 2, Vol. 1 builds off of the themes created by composers Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori by adding remixes and alternative metal to the stew, resulting in a -- better than it should be -- collection of mood pieces and art rock excess that's likely to please both geeks and mainstream, twentysomething males alike. Steve Vai capably shreds through the newly updated theme before passing the torch to Pennsylvanian alt-rockers Breaking Benjamin, who manage to escape the "music inspired by" abyss by producing a pretty memorable slice of apocalyptic angst. Halo however really belongs to Incubus. ...
