Hmm? What did you expect with lawsuits, and Marty allegedly disrupting work?

It said he had composed most of the music up front for the entire run of the game. I took that to mean we'd hear his stuff for years to come.

I'm getting a sinking feeling. The new music hasn't impressed me yet.

Really? I love this piece and especially this one. Actually, that second one might be one of my favorite Destiny pieces thus so far. When I first heard it I wanted to tell my fireteam to shut up!

I like the second one better, but not better than anything on the first Destiny soundtrack. That could change, but what worries me is that I almost always liked Marty's music on first listen.

And there you go, the elephant in the room. I'm trying to be fair--am I judging it differently because I know Marty wasn't involved? I don't think so. I'd heard it before I knew.

There is no doubt to the genius of Marty. :) I guess I see this as new and different music rather than better or worse. Since I've been listening to the old stuff so much for so long I find it refreshing. If I could compare them all with fresh ears, Marty's shadow would likely fall over everything else.
