What happened to the music team?

You guys have made so many creative songs that are super enjoyable to listen to, but lately something has changed. I remember you talking about GP's theme, how you went to a bar and had people start slamming mugs on tables and whatnot for some of the sounds, I remember Lulu and Shaco's theme that sounded creepy but fun at the same time, I remember Kindred's theme giving me goosebumps, I remember Taliyah's theme, and DT Trist was amazing... but, after Taliyah's theme, it seemed like you guys stopped trying and just started making songs that were really generic, samey, and forgettable.

I couldn't tell you what Urgot's theme is, I don't even remember Ornn or Kayn's themes, I couldn't tell you what WW's theme is, new Eve is just generic, and the new SG theme is just disappointing compared to last time -- the Japanese SG theme for last year is one of my favorite songs you guys did.

Did something happen in the music team? Did someone leave, or did your budget get cut (meaning no more orchestral work), or what? I refuse to believe the same people who did all those other themes would just entirely give up and produce poppy, samey songs that don't really have any kind of emotion or life to them.

I'm kind of thinking that the rampant greed Ma / Beck like to show off had something to do with it -- and I really hope I'm wrong.

Eh, not everyone is going to find all of an artist/group of artists' work 100% amazing 100% of the time. I love the themes of Ornn, Urgot, Kled, the SGs, and Xayah and Rakan a lot and listen to them fairly often, and I think they really reflect the characters and their stories.

Ok, sure. But this isn't the same group of people, it's an entirely different style and lacks any of the quality that used to be in the login themes. And Urgot's theme is just noise, it isn't anything. Ornn and Kayn's themes are very generic and forgettable, and I don't even remember Xayah / Rakan's theme. Don't remember Kled's either.

I think it's just the greedy suits wanting to save money (even though they pull in BILLIONS in profit every year), and cutting corners wherever possible. So, most people won't really care about login themes, and they axed the budget, forcing them to use cheap MIDIs instead of orchestras, and having less time to work on it.

Don’t tell me that you don’t remember Elementalist Lux’s theme.

It was that one singer who only knows how to say the A sound, and was kind of samey sounding. I don't quite remember it, but I know what it sounds like. ^^

Just looked it up, and I can see why I forgot it. Really slow and samey sounding. Kind of the generic "epic" sound, doesn't really highlight who the theme is about.

Okay, looking up their theme, yeah, it was good. So that's one recent one that was decent. I just forgot it for some reason. :P
