Damn that is one of the worst main titles I’ve heard in recent memory. Are you kidding me? I was expecting so much more from HGW and instead we get that mess and some midi strings. Seems like a colossal waste of money to get a heavy hitter to come in for a main title and deliver something like that.
Actually think it’s pretty great! Give it a few listens and it might grow on you.
