I didn't like it, really. I'm about to give it a second listen, just for consideration and because it was noisy when I listened the first time....
Yeah, it's not bad, but it's not really good either. Overall it sounds a lot like a movie theme that's trying to be classy and epic, and tries really hard and goes over the top a little. A bunch of parts, pieces, and elements seemed familiar, mostly not in a good way, but one small section (maybe a second long, featuring low notes from brass instruments I think) seemed reminiscent of Halo, and a few parts or elements near the end (the end of the sixth minute and parts of the seventh minute, I think) kind of seemed like a continuation of some of what he was doing with ODST.
It really doesn't feel good to say this because Marty actually pretty much gave me exactly what I asked for: more violins and more wordless chanting.
