Album Review: Various - Game Of Thrones Season 4

Of course, this soundtrack wouldn’t be complete without Sigur Rós’s version of The Rains Of Castamere,

For fans, anticipation for the official soundtrack of Season 4 has been building since about the time (spoiler alert) Arya Stark got her hands back on her Needle. Composer Ramin Djawadi doesn't disappoint. The 22 tracks (all instrumental bar one) reflect the many plotlines of the series. Love, adventure and war are reflected in the strings, brass and drums ebbing and flowing throughout. Oathkeeper is a perfect example, a tribute to the Valyrian steel sword gifted to Brienne. Of course, this soundtrack wouldn't be complete without Sigur Rós's version of The Rains Of Castamere.
