My english teacher last year allowed us to request for certain songs to play during the first ten minutes of class. So at one point I requested this. And one of my classmates said something along the lines of: "This sounds really eerie, like some disaster will happen." And my teacher agreed with them. I sat there with the biggest smile as that's exactly what happens in the game.
I have to say, the music in Inbound is super depressing, especially when you consider that this would be the last normal morning of Gordon Freeman's life. He would never take the tram to work again, he and his friends would never go out drinking again, he would never see many of his colleagues again. This is the last Half Hour before Gordon's life went to eternal shit.
The rest is him running from and fighting aliens, zombies, and the totalitarian fascist dictatorship of the combine forces all while the Gman is watching him.
99.9% recovery rate for anyone under 30 - the disease is most certainly real, but I'll take my chances. It's more a misery to consider just how many people have starved and lost the businesses that they'd worked so hard to construct with their own two hands, from the ground up. I think it's time that people realized that the world shouldn't change for them, but that they need to change for the world. If you're worried of getting sick, stop going outside. quarantine yourself. The rest of society shouldn't have to starve and risk the destruction of our very lives just for your benefit.

It's beyond impossible to 'stop the spread™,' since we're at global saturation.

@Random Dude Opposing Force and Blue Shift isn't made by Valve and it isn't considered to be canon since it's total bs and makes no sense. The original Half-Life explains at the end of the game that BM was bombed down. Gearbox just wrote a shitty story around it. Replay the originals and pay more attention.
Does anyone hear military step/marching sound in 0:21? Foreshadowing of HECU? Joel Nielsen is such a genius and renowned with his insertion of many small details in the OST, for example inbound1 has that similar alien sounds from the beginning of Questionable Ethics. It makes the game much more interesting and feels like entrapment in time and space.
I love the feeling of "empty" that this song makes me feel, like walking in the rain without feeling it, with a lost look and when you get home, realizing that you're not soaked...
I bloody love this track, it really foreshadows what's to come. The horrors of being trapped alone in a rapidly decaying research facility, colleagues and friends either being killed or turned into monsters, your entire world crashing down on you, as you're forced to fight for your life against a potentially global Alien Invasion and the forces of the US Military alike, all the while knowing that you've caused all of this. It fits in very well with the upcoming situation, and is a fantastic piece.
These tracks convey with such perfection the tragedy and and impending doom of what's about to take place. You (Gordon) are literally at the epicenter of a terrifying disaster that ended with over 5 billion dead and only 1 million "pure" humans leftover. Hell, we're basically responsible (though, possibly unwittingly. Nobody knows about G-man except Gordon, even then; Gordon doesn't know it was the G-man who started it all until 20 years later at White Forest) for the end of the world as we know it. With those few leftover having nearly all sex-drive removed in most city-centers and the inability to reproduce. We as Gordon play through the first 72 hours of that event. Our first contact with non-humans are with the creatures of the Xen- the Border World. Literally the garbage-heap of the multiverse where everything that slips through the cracks where the dimensions intersect fall into. In those first few days we're only fighting the slaves of the king of the inter-cosmological garbage-heap. Then only a few days after that, the Universal Union invade -attracted by the clashing of two realms due to unstable resonance. Hell the Universal Union themselves don't even COME to planet earth. The entirety of our universe is just an out post. They conquered us with a race that THEY had conquered previously.
When you wake up and see everything destroyed around you, many dead, monsters everywhere and a subsequent overwhelming war, you alone and your lever and that background melody , perfect.
Its interesting.. you play HL1 from Valve and its freaking awesome, but then a community mod for that epic experience is released and you realize.. that the community makes their just 5x at badass as the original. Good on ya Joel I look forward to playing BM:S and the Xen world.

Most people here have a thing called "Clearance level". If you don't have one, the guards will have the right to shoot you, and dump your body in someone's closet. So I hope you have one, because I don't want my facility smelling like rotten shit.
Good Morning and welcomo to the Black Mesa Transit System.. Thats why i love half life! They have to do more of Pre-Disaster Gordon Freemans Adventures!
To me, this doesn't really feel like the resonance cascade is about to occur. rather, it feels like being in the black mesa disaster. you could die any minute.
Not sure if these songs are re-made or entirely new as I never played HL1, but you guys did an amazingly good job at making music that feels like it belongs in the Half-Life games
Fun fact: people have been using this on roblox for things called "core games", usually used when the reactor is in a pre-meltdown state (sometimes even pre-freezedown?) this is random information that does not help you in any way
I mean, it would be pretty boring if it was just Gordon. They'd probably rework the characters or make him talk, which I'm only OK with if they cast Ross Scott.

If Black Mesa were a movie, this music would accompany the opening titles

This song summerises my feelings about the current situation of the world.

The resonance cascade was global. Xen creatures teleported all over the earth.

There’s something about this song while being on an airport near the tarmacs and runways that is a mood.
The day the world realized it wasnt ready for the beasts beyond Earth.

“Dammit, did I eat something bad last night? My stomach can’t stop churning, or something. Everything looks normal, at least”
Love the idea of Gordon having this unshakable pit of anxiety in him on the tram
"The scientists told me, if I hear this music and do a anti mass spectromiter test, I WOULD DIE!"
