The entire Diablo 2 Soundtrack is masterpiece. Apparently, the artist experimented with the orchestra and choirs for a long time and could not come up with anything. Eventually he found a guitar theme and then everything picked up pace.
Yup! The informal, moody, ambient soundtrack really solidified the type of game and tone Diablo became known for. The tracks in Act 5 went a very different turn, which I think made sense since it was the climax of the story and a pretty epic conclusion, but woof--I completely agree. Esp in Act 2, I've always felt swept away on an adventure as grand as it was unassuming, and still rife with danger.
