Ok, I'm not about to start hating on Jeff Williams for his music. He's done a great job so far, and I wouldn't have a problem if he just kept doing his thing for the rest of the series.

That said, I think it would suit the show more if some of the instrumental music was less "badass" and more "epic". For example, listen to "He who Brings the Night" or "Aesir" by Two Steps from Hell, for fight and adventure scenes, respectively. Additionally, he could go the more traditional route and take a tip from Howard Shore with The Lord of the Rings soundtrack, especially "The Bridge of Khazâd-Dûm" and "Amon Hen".

What convinced me to write this thread was another viewing of "Black" Trailer. While the fight scene was beyond badass, and "From Shadows" is my favorite theme, I found myself paying too much attention to the lyrics and not enough to the action, or vice versa. Thoughts?

P.S., I would have added links, but YouTube just really doesn't like my iPad today.
