Anglerte's Soundtrack of the Week

Silent Hill
One of the most gruesome, bizarre and mutually depressing moments in the game, and perhaps of all games, this track perfectly highlights the horrific and striking loss of peace, hope and happiness caused by the curse of Silent Hill on Lisa Garland. The helplessness, hopelessness and pity assumed by Harry Mason after witness such a devastating loss of innocence are undoubtedly referenced by the name of the soundtrack, "Not Tomorrow". In an intriguing way, the song itself seems to serve as the mourning and compassionate sentiment that almost every other aspect of the plagued, hellish town seems to lack. In context, this is perhaps the most depressing soundtrack ever featured in a video game. Out of context, same thing.
