Unlike the remake’s music, the soundtrack to Resident Evil 4 is comprised of all new material and doesn’t have many ties to the other soundtracks from the series. Like the remake’s soundtrack, Senbongi and Uchiyama took a more cerebral approach instead of going down the familiar roads of the haunting and action-packed Resident Evil soundtracks that came before it, for the most part. That claustrophobic and oppressive listening experience is brought to full fruition here, and it is very awesome. In what can only be viewed as a natural progression and the next step in Misao Senbongi and Shusaku Uchiyama’s compositional careers with the Resident Evil series, the Resident Evil 4 album picks up where the Resident Evil remake’s original soundtrack left off and is chock full of unsettling soundscapes and textural ambiance that the team started hinting at and developing with the remake. One of the core aspects of the game’s design that I continually pile on the praise for is the game’s soundtrack, both in and out of the context of the game. So either the game is pure magic, or something is seriously wrong with me. I’ve beaten the game seven times through so far, and I still get excited about the prospect of playing through it again.
Here’s the thing about me: I am always pumped about Resident Evil 4.
