In my restless dreams i see that franchise... Silent Hill... You promised me you'd take me there again some day. But you never did.

The golden age of gaming. No competitive modes, no online pay to win games. Just pure fun, pure emotion.

Silent Hill 2 is coming back, so I'm not the only one who immediately came back to re-listen to the ost for a celebration Hell yeah

9:59 when the nostalgia hits you just right 20 years later!

In my restless dreams, I see that game. Silent hills. You promised you'd develop it someday, But you never did. Well I'm there now, in my room, Waiting for it.

This soundtrack complements its game extraordinarily well because it does not induce or allude to threat or danger, but introspection and reflection. Many psychological horror games are infused with the concept of punishing one for their sins, but Silent Hill 2 asks you to look at yourself and decide what fate you deserve. Silent Hill never antagonizes you, it just provides the tools necessary to antagonize yourself. It does not lie, it does not distort, Silent Hill tells the truth.

2020 and I'm still listening to this masterpiece

26:41 masterpiece words cant explain

This game is an absolute fucking masterpiece. This game is life. It will never be topped, it can't be. Every single human emotion is evoked when playing this game. It is indescribable. It should be mandatory for every single person in the world to play this game, gamer or not. It simply must be experienced.

RIP Silent Hills & P.T. :(

May sound pretentious but a lot of Silent Hill's most iconic music could be described as "the crossing point between dreams and nightmares". They have a mythical aspect you can associate with a deep dream but are always just underlined by that unsettling feeling that something deeper is wrong.

26:41 I’ve been looking for this! It’s my fav ost.

"THERE WAS an amazing series HERE. IT'S GONE NOW" Rest in peace, Team Silent (;_;)7

This music is seriously phenomenal. Promise (Reprise) 9:59 is beyond the greatest ever written.

Internet checkpoint. After all these years, life doesn't change much, everything is going well and progress is happening slowly, if you too are a fan of this game, you have my deepest respect, be good people and take care, you're not alone. Save game? Yes

Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, Grant Theft Auto 3 AND Final Fantasy X....yeah PS2 is the G.O.A.T.

This soundtrack is a masterpiece

Honestly, that's my favorite horror game in the entire world, it is not a scary game, that makes you scream or jump of you chair, but a emotional, deep and melancholic game, with the most human characters i've ever see, every detail is amazing, the soundtrack is definetly one of the best in the entire video games history, it is a mix of sorrow with fright and passion, Akira Yamaoka is a god. I miss you, old Konami, old team silent hill, old feelings, but in every new game is the same good nostalgia.

I can't listen to Theme of Laura again. I legitimately tear up every time I hear it. God, this game's OST is so beautiful.

In my restless dreams, I see that town... But now in HD, with high resolution textures...

This soundtrack just screams Play Station 2

Listening to this soundtrack feels like being teleported into a different type of dimension. Feels like a place where time is stopped. Especially the forest theme. So nostalgic. The year of 2002 when everything was more mystic. I don't even know how to describe it. The feeling itself can be hardly described. But I do believe that every single one of us has felt it at some part of his life.

Theme of Laura is SUCH A GOOD SONG, I want to know more of Yamaoka's works

I can't really explain how or why, but this soundtrack just keeps on bringing me back. Even after all these years.

Perfect homework music.

this is one of the few video game soundtracks that actually stands out on its own as an incredible album, completely separate from the game itself. like, even if you don't like silent hill or video games you should still listen to this album. as far as I'm concerned it's just as good as classic albums like dark side of the moon or ok computer.

This soundtrack beautifully shows how japanese art tends to play with contrasting elements in both visual and acoustic field. It is absolutely nostalgic.

There's this atmosphere that this soundtrack creates that just can't be replicated. The feeling of isolation and despair, yet, within that dark and lonely place, there's a glimmer of hope. That something that urges you to keep going on. It's otherworldly, yet welcoming. It's hard to pin down, but there's that mystery to it that has yet to be re-found in any game after that. I could probably listen to this soundtrack for days on end.

my first silent hill game.. and it's been my favorite horror game ever since.

In my restless dreams I hear this music... And I love it

This is one of the most painful video game OST ever. One of my favorite games of all time.

Every time I hear promise (reprise) I can just feel my brain melting... the world sliding out from under my feet.. again. That's why james is my favorite character of all time, I actually stepped into his shoes and felt like I was him.The silent hill games are written from a vary real place, the individual human psyche, I always loved how its everyones personal hell and they all see different versions of silent hill.Angela and her flames.I always wonder what mine would be like and what would force me to go there.

24:17 that riff

How wonderful

9:59 gives me the chills

The only memories of my father consists of playing this game together. He left me as a young boy; till this day my heart longs for him. When I hear anything related to silent hill, I am always brought back to our special place...this game. It’s such a bitter sweet feeling.

Currently playing Silent Hill 3 for the first time and while I'm loving the game, I just can't seem to love it as much as I love SH2. SH2 is just...so perfect to me.

Silent Hill 2 returning is a dream come true for me, it seems all of us are coming back to this masterpiece to celebrate. What a great feeling.

Can’t believe I’ll hear Akira playing all of these live just in two days

Never even played this game, but this soundtrack is great on its own

My favorite theme: Heaven's Night

Block Mind LITERALLY sounds like an oxygen machine, which is what James' wife was more than likely put on when she was in and out of the hospital. I LOVE Silent Hill because of details like these.

there was a hole here it's gone now

God Silent Hill 2 is amazing.

Akira Yamaoka...respect..respect and respect..

Love the 90s grunge/garage sound of the ensemble tracks. 😎

embrace the beauty of disconnection, personal hell.

Best Soundtrack of all time. Brings so much memories back, even if I did not played this game when I was a 9 year old kid, I feel like being a kid again when hearing this tracks... Silent Hill is one-of-a-kind. Together with Resident Evil it has established the horror franchise, from a videogame to a movie, to real art in history... You can't explain this game, it's beautiful and shocking at the same time and you need to experience it yourself...

I'm so busy in my thirties now but once in a while I get unnecessarily obsessed with this game. I know it's dramatic but it's such a part of me.

I discovered that game in 2020 during the lockdown, at a moment where the joy of the days without having school left me. I was feeling bad, and ended up being curious about the Silent Hill game franchise after loving the first movie. The most recommended one was the 2nd and so I played Silent Hill 2. No matter how hard i will try, I think I will never have the right words to explain how deep is the mark that game left within me and honestly, as someone that played so many horror games (aside from all the other genres i ve played), I can tell you that this game won't be topped anytime soon. This game doesn't have any jumpscare, or thousand of enemies yet it was the most stressful and mentally impacting This game is a horror game, yet it has the most brilliant dialog lines, soundtrack, story and environments choices I've seen for a game fitting with the story. This game is a horror game, yet it's the most emotional impacting game I had to play in my entire life. This game is a horror game, yet instead of scaring/pushing you away from playing it, it's just weirdly attractive. Calling this game just a "horror game" would be wrong, that game is considered as a "psychological horror game" and I swear that this is so so so so well deserved. I can't verbally explain how much for one single person it is to mentally endure every picky detail and care the developpers did put in their scenario and the way it's told. One single soundtrack from this game is enough for someone that played it and understood it to get into the darkest mental states you've ever went through (I'm particularly thinking of White noiz, Promise(Reprise), Magdalene, Fermata in mystic Air, Silent Heaven, True, Betreyal, Black Fairy). I sincerly consider this game as the artistic production that is the closest to my vision of a dream/nightmare feeling. That game will make you question that principle during the whole walkthrough, and once the game beaten, it s only at that moment that you ll have the 80% of the reflexion material that makes this game unique. I played this game almost 20 years after its release, (I'm 21 right now so don't think i m being biased by nostalgia in this opinion I'm sharing), and still, the game is very playable and convincing to the point where I don't have any other game of the same genre ever released that can get any close to Silent Hill 2. I hope some day Konami will accept doing something great of that franchise again because in my restless dreams, I see that game, Silent Hill....

That track at 59:33 is the best. That part of the game when this track plays was almost like real life. Nothing I'd ever experienced before.

When I was younger, this game touched me in places where no man would dare to touch. Every generation has its favorite movie or music. This one is for my generation.

Theme Of Laura: 0:00-3:24 White Noiz: 3:24-4:47 Forest: 4:47-6:33 A World Of Madness: 6:33-8:20 Ordinary Vanity: 8:20-10:00 Promise (Reprise) 10:00-11:45 Ashes And Ghost: 11:45-14:53 Null Moon: 14:53-17:43 Heavens Night: 17:43-19:48

The whole soundtrack reminds me of how lonely i am,and i know that its my fault, i have so many insecurities, self sabotage, it tears my life everytime i want to be happy but i just can't, i just feel like a waste of human being everytime someone tries to make friends with me, feels like im burning alive, i get jealous, i dissapear from their life,and when im needed i feel like someone else could do a better job, someone else could be a better boyfriend, or even a better friend...i just feel like a fading memory arround others

I never played the game but I really love this soundtrack

Some of us never left Silent Hill.

21 year old here. As much as I wanted to go to an Akira Yamaoka concert since I was 13 years old, I don't think I can anymore because of just how life has become. Maybe in another life but damn I love that man and his music, all of it.

So fucking pumped for the remaster. It's been a long time coming.

The difference between Silent Hill 2 (2001) and Silent Hill Homecoming (2008) is incredible. sometimes the modern features of today's games are a step backwards, not forwards. I miss Team Silent and their passion for creating powerful games

1:08:40 (Promise) I remember this song from one of the trailers, with Marie talking "...James honey... Did something happen to you?... After we got separated in that long hallway? You always were SO forgetful... Remember that time in the hotel?" So emotional.

I have officially listened to this OST more than I've played this game.

Alone in the town is my favourite. That bass...

In my restless dreams... I see that town... Silent Hill.

A little unrelated, but I just realized that KZfaq updated so that the timestamps and titles of the individual songs show up on the progress bar

Anyone else here in 2023. I played SH2 for the 1st time in 2013, 10 years ago of that. Damn! time flies!

My friend said this made her feel anxiety. I just think this is a unique beauty

I come back to this soundtrack every little while. SH2 helped me through a lot of mental health issues. I'll never forget how this game made me feel, and I'll always appreciate the musical talent of Akira Yamaoka.

_-"There was the best horror game franchise here... It's gone now"_

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FUN FACT: The Promise theme was later remixed and used in Frogger: The Great Quest as the theme that plays in the Dark Trails Ruins level. ANOTHER FUN FACT: I hate Frogger: The Great Quest.

silent hill 2 and 3 are the epic games of the series!

So yeah, born in 1982. My mum's future husband at the time brought some "bootlegged" (sorry) playstation games and amongst them were silent hill. I was extremely fortunate that I had the big telly in my room when my mum got a new one. Silent hill changed my life, I wasnt even allowed to watch horror films but this fell through the net 😁 would play this game into the early hours before school on the sly. Loved the feel and the detachment from reality. Then, fast forward I'm in my own flat with my gf and booked a week off for sh2. And it changed my life. From the ost to the atmosphere and complete immersion it was one of the best weeks annual leave I ever took. I play and listen to akiras beautiful soundtracks 20 years later. I've played many a horror game, but this was so much more. Had so much hope for the franchise when PT came out but I've learnt to accept that all we have is what team silent left us. And they gave me so very much and still do in retrospect to this day. In my restless dreams..........

This soundtrack makes wanna dive into the depths of my consciousness and deal with my darkest fears and emotions that I keep locked in some rusty cell...

Whenever I’m depressed and feeling lonely . This score will be played

Akira Yamaoka is a genius for crafting this masterful soundtrack for an equally masterful video game!!

I come back to this song (null moon) when I notice there needs to be change in my life. Always moving and never stopping as it goes. I can’t remain stagnant for very long or else I get restless (particularly if I’m sedentary in my life for more than a couple years I start to get a little quirky). Right now I am actively starting to become more physical, by working out and eating right. Talk is cheap…

No words can describe the vibe this game can give to a person..

intense memories ..

This game and it's OST's are just timeless.

It seems I'm not the only one that always comes back to the Silent Hill soundtracks. There's just something about the emotion to the world, and that feeling of being lost, or in a dream-like state, that just does it for me

Akira Yamaoka is a legend in game music. But he was also lucky in his private life. He is married (2 children) to one of the top Japanese female heavy metal drummers : Tamu Murata from the heavy metal band Nemophila. Check it out you turnips.😊

promise (reprise) is definitely the music from heaven!

Silent Hill 2 has come again!!!!!!!!!!

I have no words to Theme of Laura and Promise, they are simply too amazing to say

I swear this game changed the course of my life from a very young age, and I am forever grateful.

God its gotta be some of the best music to anything ever!

My favourite soundtrack of all time. A magnificent mix of music: scary, disturbing, atmospheric, sad, beautiful and relaxing.

Can't wait for the remake

It's october 2022 and I just experienced SH 2 for the very first time. Beautiful game and soundtrack.

Sadly I was around 2 when this game came out, I played it on PS2 when I was 8, and I remember everyone saying that Dead Space was the scariest game around. But this is the king of Survival Horror.

This game is so fucking good. I've never seen a game so well made and that captures the emotions this game does. Genuinely made me tear up going through the journey.

i just listened to the whole ost for the first time. ive never played silent hill but this was SO GOOD. i was crying at the end

thanks youtube for showing the in my recommendation🙂👍💔

I swear silent hill was one of the most epic horror games of history,I wish it would make a epic comeback. For a while I thought they would have with silent hills but forget that idea. Rip silent hill,The creepiness of this franchise wont be forgotten soon.^_^

I used to listen to this whilst falling asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night at 3:33, I'm not kidding I can remember that clearly. The song that just played was black fairy. I'm a lucid dreamer so I had a third person experience, seeing myself sleeping - but in a corner in my room I saw something lurking. Nothing Silent Hill related, more like a evil ghost watching me, and crawling slowly upon me. I tried to get back into my body ASAP, telling myself this is just a dream. When I switched back into first person, I had a shock, which sometimes happen if you are forced to wake up from a lucid dream. I was unable to move, but the entity was still there! Those were the scariest 30 seconds in my life

Im here with the remake confirmed I cant wait replay this masterpiece in 4K lets goooooo HYPE TRAIN S2R

Every so often, I make myself a strong drink, light up a cigar and listen to this in my garage. So many emotions and memories of this game flood through me. What a time to be alive

I used to play this every night before bed.

i found out recently about Silent hill 2, i should have learned of it sooner.
