Absolutely! I'm taking a dive into some of the metal in the other games (which may or may not go up at some point), and I can confirm that Sean Murray's work is the best. :)
The Defector the best one in my opinion. It really makes you feel that you are fighting in hell, buildings on fire, enemies everywhere, the intense gunfire and the chopper, oohh the chopper, it only makes that feeling stronger
An excellent choice. There’s something about that chopper, right? The humming noise it makes as it shoots seems to add to the music - a little like in Payback.
That heavy guitar and drum part of the soundtrack for The Defector always felt to me like a more modernized version and insane version of Boldman City from WAW, even taking some of the cues from it like the angelic choir singing throughout the song. The mission as a whole makes you feel like you're seriously on the clock as you fight for your life against the unstoppable horde of NVA that are overrunning Hue in a matter of days or hours. If you interpret the song as being similar to Boldman, you could probably even say that The Defectors music is probably the music the Germans would be hearing as the Soviets rushed through the streets of Berlin and slaughtered anyone who tried to stand in their way, as you experienced with Dimitri in WAW.
@@Skauldrich As long as the voice line is good, I would play it haha. The Vietnamese voice in Black Ops 1 is absurdly inaccurate and laughable. Battlefield Vietnam, a game came like 6 years before, manage to have a more authentic Vietnamese voice. The quality is even improved in Battlefield Bad Company 2 DLC: Vietnam. I know authenticity is the weakest aspect of Call of Duty. I enjoy playing it but still wish it could be better.
@@cloudynguyen6527 I understand. These can definitely be let-downs, especially if we know and understand the language. They say ignorance is bliss, but how can we avoid it if we were born knowing the language, right? 😆
BO1 absolutely hits it on the head with the soundtrack once more, capturing the mix of high cinematic action and the mind fuckery numbers plot. Rooftops from 22:18 onward just goes so fucking hard it's insanely good.
It really does, doesn't it? Feels a lot like a movie in some places. Funny you mentioned Rooftops; Numbers as a mission just builds up as the action continues, and so does the soundtrack.
SOG The Defector and Rooftops are the best by far. Those low heavy guitar riffs are so badass and really set the tone of the darkness, adrenaline, menacing and gritty environment of the Vietnam War and communist threats
The final part of Numbers will always be my favorite, it feels like im a movie fight scene lol Oh and Rebirth is really cool. Thats the best word to describe it. Just unapologetically cool. Wish there was more.
Really moves the level along, doesn't it? Just amplifies the action that little bit more. Absolutely! Especially going by the fact we hear the Rebirth cue as we encounter Nova gas in combat. What a memorable moment, right?
The redemption part specifically 36:51 of the soundtrack is something I would want to play after I finish something super difficult. I'm surprised that they didn't use it for the winning team to hear when they won in multiplayer.
Sean Murray is my Favorite Composer, he's like my mentor in my own creation of compositions. I made a Black Ops 12-Year Anniversary video with Murray and Sherwood's Music playing in Background. Thank you so much for the Metal/Alt Rock compilation upload my dude! 🤘😎 This type of Video Game Metal Segments felt more Raw & Organic compared to Mick Gordon's compositions (Not throwing shade everyone, relaaax, I love Mr. Gordon as well)
@@Skauldrich exactly!! It fits so damn well! The ominous feeling of being in a stealth mission while switching between the skies and the action on the ground!! What an amazing score for an amazing mission!!
@@kyleshepard3139 It may just be a simple riff that's done over and over again - but if you listen close enough, you can distinguish a number of layers... :)
Sean Murray is a genius. Not only are these soundtracks awesome and memorable, they also fit the setting perfectly. You can feel everything each mission has to offer. It's also the same with World at War.
Absolutely. And just look at how well we can put ourselves back into those missions just by hearing those cues. Each one is unique to its chapter's environment and setting. When you hear Rooftops, you can see the chase sequence on the roofs of Kowloon; when you hear the cue from Rebirth, you're immediately placed back in that hazmat suit gunning down baddies with your thermal scope... Brilliant, isn't it?
Haha! I must admit, I've never heard of the cartoon. Had a bit of a Google of it, listened to the music from the show, and I reckon you're on to something here. 😆
The Defector is genuinely my favorite ost from any game I've ever played. It's something that's just been stuck in my head for a decade. It's so brutal yet it has rhythm. Sounds badass but not in a glorifying way. If I had to give war itself a theme song, that would be it.
From all the metal/rock cues of Black Ops 1, the Defector is the one that sounds most like it's cut from the same cloth of the World at War soundtrack. As you say, the music is brutal; it's badass, but it doesn't glorify the warfare that it accompanies...
Jumped for joy recently finding the OST is on spotify now so get on it and give Sean some love Incredible game incredible soundtrack incredible memories w friends online and splitscreen co-op Godbless all and be well! 💚☘💀🎮❤🔥🔥
There's something about BO1 Multiplayer menu theme that reminds me when my dad would take me to COD's midnight releases and camp out at Gamestop to get the game. We did that for every cod till Ghost when Gamestop handing out tickets and personally didn't really like ghost that much.
Hey! There we go! You're the first to mention the Payback cue. I couldn't agree more. Just goes to show that there is something for everyone in the soundtrack. :)
Interesting, isn't it? I don't know if you noticed, but I had to splice the Pentagon version with the multiplayer theme, since there are certain parts that don't include the guitar.
@@klimaxkid There were numerous parts of the campaign where that vocal part was used - mostly during the cutscenes. Shame we didn't get its entirety...
@Skauldrich absolutely, same thing happened with yakuza 4 and yakuza kiwami 1 but more kiwami 1 because it had a piano song that was so fkin nice and theres no rips from it
bo1 and WaW probably had the best metal in cod
Absolutely! I'm taking a dive into some of the metal in the other games (which may or may not go up at some point), and I can confirm that Sean Murray's work is the best. :)
@@Skauldrich cool
Pentagon and Rooftops are iconic. Hearing them at the start of a match if you were on the Black Ops or Op40 teams was hype

Sean Murray is the top of top of Videogames composer, sadly he is not as remenbered as Himmer in CoD, but for me, he is in the same level.
The mark he has made on the series will not go unappreciated, that's for certain. :)
All of the guitars are done by Kevin Sherwood
35:19 forever changed the trajectory of my life
I hope for the better... 😉
@@Skauldrichdefinitely;)

I couldn't agree more. They are definitely the highlights of the soundtrack, aren't they? A masterclass in how music can really set the scene. 😀
Pentagon, rebirth and executive order are also really good
@@Deathmare235 It's too difficult to choose a favourite, huh? 😂
@@Skauldrich I’d probably give it to rooftops, though the mission could be better

Satisfying, isn't it? Technically it is played after the Americans win... only it's just at the very end of the campaign... 😆
it was already an reused song of the Verrucket loading screen
@@thedancingguy828 Is that right? I'll have to give that a listen.
@@Skauldrichmy mistake it was the riff just before it
Kevin Sherwood remade part of the defector song into its own song for Gorod Krovi in bo3 called dead ended.
That's something I've definitely missed. I'll give it a listen. :)
Rooftops and Rebirth are masterpieces
I 100% agree!
7:05 rerrrrr
Always liked that drum fill too
Sounds like something a grunge band could have put out in the 90s
Good stuff man Mr. Murray, rock on
No doubt about it, the man has a knack for composing video game soundtracks. :)

I can not get enough of the drum pattern (especially the snare) starting at 12:00
As a guitarist, I’d have thought that I’d concentrate more on the guitar - but I’m the same. The percussion in that cue is so good! 🤩

Are you sure they aren't actually the numbers inside your head?
There's something about that snare tone that Sean used in this sound track for BO1 as a drummer I am still to this day in love with that tone!
Surely you get on some covers of some of these cues. I'd love to hear them. :)
Still better than all COD osts released after
There's a reason for that, you know. I don't see Sean Murray being credited anywhere in the COD franchise after BO1... 😉
@@SkauldrichBO2 was the exception (being a significantly good CoD game).
The metal segments are fire, adrenaline inducing even.
Who needs adrenaline shots, when you’ve got soundtrack like Rooftops to get you in the mood?
@@Skauldrich Yes.
Listening to this while playing Multiplayer helped me getting crazy killstreaks.
Haha! Go get 'em, son!

My pleasure. Hope you found what you were looking for. :)

@@xenounde0 Done! 😀
@@xenounde0not all of them, but certanly some of them
i realize that the defector drums, and a part of the guitar is very similar to dead ended, the song of gorod krovi, map from bo3 zombies
That's right, my friend. Well spotted. 😀
Modern Activision/Treyarch can only dream of making something like Black Ops..
If only we could have that greatness back today...
They didn’t have to go this hard
But they did and it’s made this game peak Attitude Era COD because of it
I couldn't agree more. 😀
Won’t lie, some of these sound like they would fit in a Classic Serious Sam level taking place in a city or jungle.
Ooh! Interesting. I'm going to have to have a listen to the Serious Sam soundtrack then... 😮
