New Wrothgar Music is Wonderful but clashes with some zones.

I really really do like the new music, but... It feels very out of sync with certain zones - like lush, springtime, Auridon for instance. The epic bleak bittersweetness is perfect in places like Rivenspire and Stonefalls (and definitely suits Wrothgar), but I feel like I'm hearing it a lot everywhere and it just doesn't match with the general atmosphere of every zone. I think it would be more special and enjoyable if it only played in certain places.

It matches well with: Wrothgar, Craglorn, Rivenspire, Stonefalls, Eastmarch, Reaper's March
It kind of clashes with: Auridon, Grahtwood, Malabal Tor, Deshaan, Shadowfen, Glenumbra, Stormhaven (the lush, green places)
the other zones are sort of in between.

Maybe I'm the only person bothered by this, but music is a big part of the atmosphere, and when what you're seeing and what you're hearing are communicating two very different flavors.... it's kind of like sourkraut on chocolate ice-cream =P each good in the right context, but not together. It feels like my emotions are being pulled in two opposite directions and it just breaks the mood.

    I do agree. It also bothers me when I hear it in other zones.

    I even do think it should be exclusive to Wrothgar, though it might fit some other zones too.

    I prefer the new music that that awful "OOoo---eeeeeee-ooooooooohhhh-eeeeeee" that repeated non stop. I used to turn off the ESO music because of that and listen to the Skyrim or Morrowind soundtrack instead.
