Preliminary reports indicate that every single song is awesome.

Of all the soundtrackage this guy has put out, this is probably one of the better bang for the buck deals. I gotta wait a month before I can justify another game-related purchase to the missus, but unless another good Humble Bundle rolls out, this one'll soon be in my iTunes library.

Further reports (listening to them all again) confirm awesomeness.

A War Worth Fighting is still the best, for me.

Holy cow, AI Revolution is startling. It's good, but I did not expect such an energetic and fast-paced track from an AI War OST.

I've listened to a little bit of some tracks but I'm waiting to hear them in game or when I can purchase the album.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

AI Revolution: normal, normal, DANCE MIX, normal, normal, normal.

All these are great, some better than others (AWWF, AIR, Ironclad, Imitated and Integrated, Wrath of the Spire).
You are all insane. In. Sane. No argument.

I love imminent Annihilation almost as much as I love A War Worth Fighting. Whispers of Hope is also great.

My top five is now roughly

A War Worth Fighting
Imminent Annihilation
Whispers of Hope
Ironclad
Revelations 9-6

Worshipped Wasteland is actually Pablo singing, by the way -- that's a favorite of mine.

A I and W. Very clever Pablo.  :P

Loving the music as far as I have listened to it. AI Revolution is probably my favorite track so far.

I just killed an AI home command station, the Avenger spawned, and the new song AI Revolution started playing. Perfect timing. :)

Side notes on the music:
Imminent Annihilation sounds like it has bits of the AVWW Lieutenant's theme in it.
Whispers of Hope has some of the AIW theme.

Yep! That's the idea. Whispers of hope. The motif of hope throughout all the OST's is the original AIW Theme as well as the Ancient Shadows theme which is introduced in "A War Worth Fighting" and is also in Whispers Of Hope.
