5.0 out of 5 stars
Crafted Audio wings, June 17, 2010
This review is from: Silent Hill 2 - Heaven's Night - Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I took this out after quite a few years and, to my surprise, this CD still made my mind movie. From Laura's theme and Laura playing the piano to the primse track and the endings (depending on the cd, you get different endings. I advise looking over what your CD includes because a few of the companies that own rights put all the ending tracks on the disc and not just the most likely), you find yourself recalling the quest you undertook and the epic way that 2 played out when you went through it.
Personally, I rate SH2 as one of the creepiest games i have ever played in my life. The soundtrack is one of the things that build that puzzle, and I have to say that it makes me cringe in some of the audio/haunted areas. In other areas there are some quite beautiful things, however, and these things also stick with me. When i mentioned the piano, for example, i was throwing out something filled with beauty. I also consider promise(repsie) to be one of the most beautiful pieces of sound I have ever heard and this dual working of good and ill really make one feel what is going on.
Truly, I have to say I love this album.
If you are a fan of the series, you should buy this because you will love it. If you ar enot a fan, youmight love it anyhow because it goes through and tells a story and makes the mind follow. I personally love that feeling, that haunted thing, leading me back to Silent Hill.
Its like i never left at all.

Buying this will make you a standable person., September 27, 2010
This review is from: Silent Hill 2 - Heaven's Night - Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This soundtrack may be the single greatest collection of music ever devised by humans. Your life without having listened to this CD is meaningless. Each song is expertly and finely crafted art transcending any sort of specific genre style; songs so amazing you will eargasm in public creating an awkward situation between you and the bag lady at Walmart. He creates these songs out of happy thoughts, magic, and the souls of a thousand bigfoots. Don't try to understand how this level of amazingness is possible, but I assure you sir or ma'am, it is possible. If this CD was somehow personified it would be a creature worth its weight in metric, nuclear powered, Chuck Norris beards.
The soundtracks Akira writes are somehow better than the bestselling games. Without his music, the games would lose all integrity and sense of depth. Also, if this music hadn't been written, there would be nothing keeping the ghosts of a thousand crickets trying to enter your mind at bay.
Buy this CD right now. Stop living a life of unworthiness. Make the voices stop for good.

Best of Silent Hill., June 7, 2009
This review is from: Silent Hill 2 - Heaven's Night - Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Has all the music from the game. It's probably my favorite out of the Silent Hill soundtracks I own(2, 3, and 5).
