The Half-Life (and Half-Life 2 + Episodes) soundtrack is criminally, CRIMINALLY underrated. Yes, it's mostly ambient, but the action tracks, like Klaxon Beat are so good.
@@AceOfCrowbars That's true, when you're playing the game, they are very important. Of course, tracks like Electric Guitar Ambience, Lab Practicum or Black Mesa Inbound are iconic as hell and very listenable outside the game as well. It's just that many tracks are basically stingers (like Headhumper or Apprehensive from HL1).
