Funny to see Inon at work though. The song (for Fallout franchise of course) is mediocre at best but he makes himself look like he's connected to God by Wi-Fi on this video.
The music of Fallout 4: A dissappointment aswell

True, true. You know, if they wanted to go for the Irish/scottish general ambiance, they should have gone all the way. Bagpipes and drums instead of this unbearable piano/violin for the ambiant soundtrack, Corvus Corax kind of music for the battle tracks and Irish folk songs for the bars. You know what, even take the risk of changing this F3 western jazz radio for 50's irish folk music would have been interesting, because Bethesda would have taken a risk with their franchise, in a good way : they would have tried something and actually implemented an original identity instead of just copy/paste/cut for nostalgia and fanservice purpose. Not saying it would have worked for Fallout, but at least, it would have had some kind of identity, instead of simple gloomy tracks with not even a main melody. Inon Zur is a talented composer when he has good directions, he could have made it easily.
The main theme is a good track, and it should have been the main melody for the entire soundtrack, like in any other decent OST around. It is powerful, emotive, sad yet heroic. It fits the Fallout thematic. Look, even Vermintide has a central melody, and variations around it. And even considering how "humble" the OST is for this kind of games, hell, it's good. It's really, really a good soundtrack. I also think about Hearts of Stone's soundtrack, with this eerie melody which keeps coming back.
About New Vegas and its infamous Johnny Guitar, the thing that I regret is the absence of "Begin Again" in the NV vanilla game. I know it's a DLC track, but it really fits the main game's thematic and it has this eerie, creepy yet beautiful thing.

I concur with the more Irish folk/ drinking songs. Also New England sea shanties def with something like Far Harbor out.

i cant see this is mediocore or other B.S, this is true to fallout core philosophy; get up from the old way and rebuilding.
also ironically, its inon zur that also compose new vegas soundtrack, but you like indifferent of that. why the prejudice?

What prejudice and why ironic? It's not about Zur as a man or composer but at the result of his job at Fallout 4. It's simply nope.
Where any of it in Fallout 4? Those settlers are still in surviving state. Not to mention the 'good' ending where you nuke the Institute.

there's someone here that said new vegas ost have better music than fallout 4, didn't he know that it were composed by same guy
a soundtrack could be good on its own, even if the game itself were not able to live up with it. the tone used in main menu doesnt have depressing background like fo3 or NV.

Why should it be not composed by the same author to be considered better?
Ah, that's the sole point. Alright, then.

i only watched some playthrough stuff from nv and just from that i could tell obsidian used mark morgan's work on the original fallout extensively.

never heard obsidian do the soundtrack before..?
maybe the correct term is inon zur inspired by previous works when composing NV ost

Most of the Inon Zur tracks I remember from New Vegas were just recycled from Fallout 3, and mixed in with the Mark Morgan tracks from the original games.
