All the time and thought he puts into choosing the music for the show… that is one of many things I appreciates about him. Every song is just spot on appropriate, but not in an obvious, cheesy, overly fitting kind of way.
The music in the game feels very low budget. It seems like they just grabbed a bunch of no name artists to fill in the in game radio stations after blowing their budget on a couple big songs (Industry baby, Intergalactic, Teardrops, No Son Of Mine, Caution etc.)
Maybe I'm just uncultured in this games music but the previous Horizons to me had better options. But I guess it doesn't really matter when you can just mute it and listen to spotify or something else instead. If I do listen to the game music it almost never changes from XS.
Edit: forgot to mention how bad Teardrops by bring me the horizon is censored..... I'd rather not listen to the song than listen to the censored version that is in the game.
