Harmony of a Hunter and Harmony of a Hunter: 101% Run were two of the best remix albums ever made, full of different musical styles and lots of love for the Metroid series. Now, for the 35th Anniversary of Metroid, the project has finally returned for a third album with five hours of music. You can listen to it on Youtube or download it on the official website.
The album was already released two weeks ago, right in time for the 35th Anniversary, but I wasn't able to listen to it until now. It's as impressive and varied as the first two albums, where for me personally the use of vocals and choirs stick out this time, especially with "The Age of Gold".
I'm happy that this spans the entirety of the Metroid series, even Federation Force and Blast Ball, but they apparently didn't get past the title screen of these games. And with the latter they even had to mock it by making Samus say "ugh, I'd rather eat Phazon" at the end, as an attempt to be funny. But as someone who has really enjoyed the multiplayer title with friends and has some good memories here, I would have liked a little bit more seriousness towards these titles, where this has left a slight sour taste. Well, at least they have properly represented Metroid: Other M, despite its flaws.
