Meh, I've never been super impressed with the music in their titles. Listened to it for a couple of games and then muted it in favor of my own stuff.
Sorry but I do not agree with you. All the music tracks are nice, however I do not find any one that's particularly exceptional, epic, or memorable like the ones from EU3, Victoria, or even Rome....
EDIT: hmm let me clarify it a bit. The music in CK2 are awesome, I would give all of them more than 4 stars, so on average it's the best out of all P-dox games. However there isn't any track that I would give it a 5 star though, unlike a few memorable one from EU3, Rome, Vicky, or HOI2.

I find it somewhat astonisihing that Andreas Waldetoft - when introducing the CK2 team ( link ) - was only mentioned like "There were a few other people involved in the project..."
A few more credits wouldn't hurt, would it, Paradox?

Not to remove anything from the work of Waldetoft, but the pieces in Victoria I, if I recall, where all classical pieces of the Victorian era. It's not like they didn't have a few centuries to prove themselves through the test of time (radetzky march anyone?)!
That said, the music of CKII is, on its own merits and regardless of outside preferences, definitely endearing.
The very first notes of CK2 title track remind me Braveheart soundtrack :laugh:
Anyway, my Paradox Games favorite soundtrack is EU2 one.
Falalan uber alles!

When I first booted up the demo it was almost like a religious experience. Sadly, when I play longer the music becomes annoying. Maybe the demo doesn't contain the full soundtrack but I definitely prefer Victoria 2's or Sengoku's soundtrack over CK2's.
Of course EU2 still is my favorite. Falalalan was what first brought me to these forums.

All titles until CK had classical themes. Sorry, but I must say your statement is a bit out of whack.
The music is great, it's just an inevitable fact that the longer you play the more you hear it repeat the more you want more variation. There's so much music I'm not sure we could have asked for more, but a single game can last dozens of hours so you hear the same tracks over and over again dozens of times. It'd be like if you took the best film ever, Predator, and watched it alongside playing the game. After the 10th viewing it might start to get a bit boring, but it's still a great film.
I love the second part of Coeur de Lion.

Its pretty good, there is 1.5 hours of it in the demo. But, as with all game soundtracks I find, you want to turn it off after a while. EU2 I agree was the best, but that was real period music from the 14th to the 17th Century. When I play EU3 I still use the EU2 soundtrack running in winamp.
