Onslaught
Megaman ZX

I didn't expect fantastic music when we picked up ZX, though perhaps I should have; good music is common in the Megaman series.
I feel like, rather than capturing the mood, this track sets the mood of the scene (I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers) in a masterful way.
(1/2)
The occasional panned guitar blasts work well as an imitation of alarms going off, and the frantic rhythm gives a sense of urgency. All the while, though, there's a slowly advancing harmony over it all, and occasionally a determined melody.
This is probably some of the best music I know of at giving a sense of determination in a crisis.
