Deus Ex: Human Revolution Analysed

Great Albums Analysed

Welcome, denizens of Sputnik, to my first-ever video essay! I’ve never done anything like this before, so I hope you enjoy it. I’ve wanted to do a review or an in-depth deep dive into not only one of my favourite soundtracks of all time, but one of my favourite albums, period, for a while now. I never get bored of listening to Human Revolution, so I thought I’d do a video that looks into the history of Michael McCann, the mindset behind the record, and then my personal opinion on why I love it. Let me know what you think, and if you want more content like this in the future, let me know.

Watch the full video here:

Welcome to the first ever video analysis from both Sputnikmusic and myself. I absolutely adore Human Revolution so I’ve wanted to write something about it for years but never got around to it. Since I’m pushing to get the YouTube channel on its legs, I thought I’d try my hand at a video essay. I hope people enjoy it.

I have another one dropping in March.

That's cool, I always liked that soundtrack but haven't listened to it for a few years now. Time for a re-spin!

sick! I reviewed this soundtrack ages ago on here lol. love this game and the soundtrack is perfect. it got me through a lot studying. mankind divided's OST is good also if you get the unofficial one

Yeah, both albums are great to just have on in the background. MD really grew on me as the years went on.

What’s the unofficial version?

One of the coolest games ever. Too bad Mankind Divided ended right when the plot picked up and then there was never a sequel

"What’s the unofficial version?"

this is the one I was always listening to. super long but full of so many great pieces. way more fleshed out

No one MO. I’ll jam this tomorrow.

@Dmax agreed, another painful cliffhanger that never got resolved. I keep trying to replay MD but I find it a bit dull. Completely lacks the unique vibe HR has.
