"This is an awesome score! I found it by chance. I read an extremely complimentary online review of this CD while I was i-net searching mythology. Being a fan of epic movie soundtracks, I decided to take a chance on "Too Human" because the review I read lead me to believe that it was far more than what might be expected of a videogame score (i.e. Norse influences, Prague chorus, award nomination,...). I am extremely glad that I did "gamble" on this CD. It is fantastic!!! It is a dynamic composition which always maintains a hauntingly ancient sound, yet also feels like a modern sci-fi / adventure movie score as well. It feels like it could be a score for Conan the Barbarian or Lord of the Rings, while simultaneously feeling like the new Star Trek, but with more longing for an ancient connection. The Norse vocals (choral and solos) are amazing, as is the rest of the score. If I've not been clear, let me say, I REALLY liked it. I must also say that I have not played the game that this score comes from, but I cannot imagine this beautiful score being tainted with "Metal" songs as another reviewer mentioned. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys bold, epic scores which blend electronic, choral, and symphonic elements flawlessly."
