I'm surprised none of the ardent fanboys above noticed and mentioned that the mastering of this release is pretty questionable. This is not proper high quality music but one «"rEsToReD"» from the 22.05 KHz WAV gamerip - converted to 44.1 KHz through sample interpolation but most importantly the absent higher frequencies above 11.025 KHz were simply mirrored from the lower ones. This gives it a slightly unnatural and (let's be honest) slightly fake sound that wasn't in the original studio master. Use the proper lossless D2 and LOD OST CDs as the base and then add on top the tracks from this release that Blizzard weren't able to squeeze into the original D2 OST CD due to size constraints. Also note that many of the tracks from D2 OST CD have significantly shortened mixes compared to originals because of the same size constraints so it's not an easy choice which version to pick. BTW Blizzard back in 2001 had a lot of free space left on LOD OST CD to fit some D2 tracks missing from the first CD but they didn't do that because they didn't care enough. Also it's a shame that Blizzard released D2 Resurrected without the complete lossless soundtrack as opposed to EA with their C&C Remastered.

shivers ! SHIVERS DOWN THE SPINE!

This is one of those games where you turn the music all the way up in the settings and lower sfx.

I don't know who the "Guest" that rated this 1/10 is but there's no way he's rating the album that I downloaded.

None of those songs have the problems he mentioned. These are transcoded MP3s of the WAV files stored in the MPQ files on the D2 and D2LOD CDs.

You're right, they aren't 192kbps...THEY ARE 320kbps! Even higher bitrate.

Some of the best music ever made.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOUNDTRACK! Multiple songs are DAMAGED!

Rog ue has a 'hiccup' @ 2:08
Jungle has a 'peep' @ 2:13
Zakarum has multiple clicks/peeps throughout
Mes a has a horrible volume dip and 'peep' @ 1:38

Also this soundtrack is not 192kbps!

Ple ase either reupload or take it down. Such a magnificent soundtrack cannot be enjoyed if it is damaged.

The main menu (after the burning Diablo screen) is called Ancients and it is here in the album.

Matt Uelman wrote the best music I've ever heard in a game.
I don't think that Diablo & Diablo 2 would have been half as addictive without his music to accompany the games.

Missing harem, wich is One of My favorites :(

"Zakarum" (or maybe "Jungle" can't remember now) is by far my absolute favourite.
Real ly a masterpiece.
On e of the single best tracks in any video games.

Is the music of the main menu here? I can't find it :(

i finishd it with 3 dif characters in hell dificulty HM.its huge part of my life,really huge and deep.i cannt name it "best GAME" "huge GAME" ...

its now part of my real life and part of my dreams.its ART.its gimme alots of feelin and alots idea alots of new dreams imagination ....
i cannt find any definition for art but im sure diablo is art.

i just realized, 'the canyon of the mages' part is missing... that song just plays in that part of the game (pretty small part) but is still one of the master pieces of chapter 2... please include it!!

everyone should give a try to listen to this music, it really moves you

diablo 2 -- best video game music ever -- Blizzard was idiotic to allow Matt to escape their talent pool -- D3 is a great game and the music is good, but is a pale shadow of D2.

sanctuary track is amazing ........
you will clear the level in no time....
becos of the music u fight like hell.....

Damn...I love the Diablo Music. So epic, and breathtaking somtimes. I remember that I used to always revisit the levels that had the best tunes, only to listen to them again. I am currently playing TorchLight (which is not as good as Diablo II) with the files I downloaded here. I had to convert them to OGG, rename the files and then place them in the Music folder of the game. TorchLight never sounded better than now... Awesome

no further requirements from this album
u can use winmpq to xtract from the game archive
u may even get the dialogues if u want

This is just awesome! It's the best soundtrack I've ever heard from a game. The song Wilderness is my favorite, it's hard to explain what kind of feeling we get during I'm listening to this song. This is amazing, and so difficult to explain. Really. I have goosebumps.
I showed that song to one of my friends, but they just can't get how these songs are amazing.
I used to play to this game, and I played a lot (like many hours a day) but now I'm done with this game, haha, it reminds me this game.

I always wanted to get this soundtrack, but I never thought about it until I saw this website. Thank you very much, this is the kind of music that I really like. Its like if I would be in an other world.
I played a long time to Diablo II, and these songs remind me about this game alot. I always liked these, and it fits so well with the game!

People rating this poorly have no respect for true musical genius- Blizzard sure had themselves a great guitarist.

I remember the first time playing this..kinda scary..and the first time i killed Andariel..OMG that music theme was perfect for that. Tristam still's the better one.

AWESOME ! the song of the best game in 2000 is finally revealed. Finally some guy with ingenuity come up with it's original song. I'm giving ya 10 out of 10.

For any one who haven't heard or played the game yet... I suggest you better play the game first and listen for the Tristram OST ! One of the wonder in gaming world. Fresh and Original !

THANK you very mutch!
In Russia we also love Diablo =)

Bear, winter, vodka, yshanka-hat

I really love these soundtracks but I couldn't find the bass toned one which plays in the "Act I"

Awesome music... nice old memories.

This is an example of a good work, like Blizzard use to give us.

Thank you

Thank you so much :) Been lookin' for this stuff for so long and now I've finally found it :) Thanks :*
#elektro

It is allmost perfect, but it misses one song :( And it happens to be my favorit one, the one in pandemonium fortress, could it be added?

Many thanks, my friend. Perhaps we will meet in Diablo III? If not, I wish you luck in your travels!

The best soundtracks are those from Act V and some others (tombs and jungle)- they cannot be matched! And if I have to select the best of these... Siege and Lord of Destruction.

Ambient music that sets the mood to horror and suspence. Without this music Diablo would come cheap as it has bad graphics though great gameplay and storyline. Can't wait for Diablo III :P

This is on of the best soundtracks i've ever heard!

damn all you ppl are right Tristram is the best and its from diablo 1 cuz tristram is the main town in diablo 1 now i dont play Diablo 2 any more im stuck on WoW but i love to much the music from diablo 2 lol nice site

Yeah cool soundtrack, but does someone have the soundtrack from the cinematics? :(
There are some very catchy songs in it ;)

beautiful, the greatest game soundtrack ever made , thank you

Tristram is the greatest of them all!

"Sisters" gives me goosebumps. The composer is a musical genious. I agree with you guys saying this is the best soundtrack ever, it really is.

greatest game of all time, greatest soundtrack of all time period. The first diablo literally revolutionized all gaming, and diablo 2 further did so.

yeah sure... the sound isnt bad but there are plenty more games with a better sound
ff7 or outlaws for example...
anyway its good

I really wish there was also the Temple one... parts of it are just so mysteriously creepy sounding. Ive listened to it alot on the blizz music player.

It was pretty good, I liked it. I really liked the Diablo games, they seem quite popular. I know allot of people looking forward to Diablo 3

This is probably the most fitting soundtrack I've ever heard. It perfectly makes the mood of the game. And when the game's perfect, and the soundtrack's perfect, then you got something that makes you feel amazed. I especially love the drums and the 12-string guitars in this OST.

Tristram is the best of course!!!

By the way, does anyone know wat the name of the song heard in act II-"harem" is?

Sometimes when I'm listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, i'm reminded of Diablo 2. Just the way the music is... and also that song from 28 Days Later In the House-In a Heartbeat.

Anyway, great soundtrack.

This is the best soundtrack ever... I don't know any soundtrack to compare with that one. Just awesome... a masterpiece... T h e b e s t

Most of the songs are great.

Tristram track is from Diablo I. Its the town theme there. Its the best.

Wish I could find a link to mp3's of some of the voice clips used in the game... "Ahh! The golden bird of Kul'yeh!"

Some of them are incredible. They can be used as background to some other games too.

Oh and it is a lot of fun playing Tristram song with a couple friends. 2 guitars and a flute is enough... Perfect

Just Great,These Musics remind me The old Times of Diablo, Still not so old tough , *Back to diablo*
10/10

This is one of the greatest video game soundtracks ever created! It's just amazing. When you hear it in the game it sets the mood so well. If ur playing at night with all the lights off, u get the creepiest feeling. It just astounds me how amazing the music fits with the game. Plus it's an awesome soundtrack on its own without the game.

Excellent m8. I appritiate you for sacraficing your time for diablo 2 *hail*. This is the bestest RPG game in history, other then Fallout that is =]

This is masterpiece.
Last 2 minutes of "wild" and the whole Tristram theme... I can't express just listen!!!

By the way you can extract the tracks from the D2MUSIQ.MPQ if you have Diablo 2 installed, using some mpq unpacker or mpq plugin for totalcmd.
