M2TW's music is easily on a level with STW's and MTW/VI's. I didn't like RTW's one bit; it was bland, boring and boring. There also seems to be a bit more diversity for faction's music; the music I'm getting as Venice is different to the music I had as England. In the older games those factions would have been lumped together and hearing the same Catholic music set.

My only grumble is that the music CD which comes with the collector's edition doesn't have all the tracks.
