#TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS EPISODE 5 INTRO SERIES#

Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked (Cage the Elephant) Everything looked right, and with the music everything sounded right too. Jungle’s Busy Earnin’ building in the background while one Pandoran scavenger puts a bullet in the head of another, right before a car gets dropped on him. How would the Gearbox FPS translate to a Telltale episodic story? It was really the opening credit sequence that gave us the answer. Nobody knew what to expect from the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands. Who is Handsome Jack? Hero or Villain? After all, what makes a good man? 5.

While the beginning of The Pre-Sequel may not have struck the right chord, the game ends in exactly the right place. The band has three songs on this list and they’re all great. If Gearbox had a house band it would be The Heavy. It sets the mood perfectly to start you on the home stretch of the game. It begins to build as you prepare for a moment, which, you can tell from the music, is not going to go well. The music begins to play before the gameplay sequence ends. The final episode of Tales from The Borderlands opens differently than any other.

To the Top’s powerful vocals build up toward lift off just the game does, and when the characters begin to soar, so does the song. It waits for the right moment to give you the biggest possible impact. The opening credit sequence for Tales from the Borderlands Episode 4 happens comparatively late in the game. It’s a song that signals the end of a story while giving the distinct impression that there’s another adventure somewhere down the road.

The song that wrapped up the Tales from the Borderlands series says everything it needs to. It’s a fun little tune to listen to and enjoy, but on a Borderlands playlist you’ll find yourself waiting for the tune to wrap up so you can enjoy something you like a little better. Pieces of the People We Love (The Rapture)įrom about this point on it would be easiest thing in the world to just say, “this song is great, but the next one is just that much better.” Smack in the middle of Tales from the Borderlands is this road trip song.

While it feels cruel to penalize the song for that, considering there really was no “sound” to the series yet at the end of the first game, we have to make our determinations somehow. It’s also a bit outside what I would call the usual Borderlands sound. The song that concluded the first Borderlands experience was something of a let down after the song that had brought us into the game (more on that later). While that might make it a favorite for many people, it’s the thing that puts it at the bottom of the list for me. Used as the opening song for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, nothing else in the franchise is quite so hard driving. To whatever degree the songs on this list have anything in common, this is the one that feels the least cohesive. While I don’t actually consider any of the songs on this list to be bad, Black Dragon is the one that really confuses me. This leaves us with 12 songs between the three proper Gearbox/2K titles and the five episodes from Tales. We’ve ranked the music of Borderlands (so far), limiting our options to songs used as either introductions, or end credit sequences. Each episode brought a unique part of the story, and with it came a fitting song to help put you in the right mental place. When Telltale brought us the Tales from The Borderlands, they also brought the music. Starting with the first game’s intro cinematic, the series has used music to help set the mood. One of the absolute best things about the Borderlands franchise has always been the music.
