Lair of the Shadow Broke-er

I recently finished my 4th play-through of Mass Effect 2.  That's right.  Four.  And I'm not done yet.  Apparently you can play Shepard as a female *snicker*, and I would be remiss in not experiencing how the other half lives.  But more to the main point, after I was back on the Normandy SR2, I headed right over to Illium to complete perhaps the single best piece of DLC known to mankind, "Lair of the Shadow Broker".

Hyperbole you say?  HOW DARE YOU, SIR?!

Ahem.  I kid you not.  While its length is standard fare for DLC (about 2 hrs or so), the quality of those hours is like it came off the game disk itself.  If you're not familiar with LOTSB, the mission is fairly self-explanatory.  Cerberus has found the location of the Shadow Broker's base, and your ex-teammate Liara has a date with revenge.  I won't spoil anything, but the mission itself is fantastic, plus it gives those Shepards who pursued a relationship with Liara to continue and kind of confirm that relationship (although how this transfers into ME3 is unknown to me). Plus, she'll totally bust you if you allowed another teammate to complicate things!

One thing that I was really impressed with in addition to all of the above, was the inclusion of newly composed music.  Rather than recycle the tunes from the main story, for the most part we get farm fresh selections from a dude named Chris Lennertz.

Well I can't say I agree with scoring movies such as "Disaster Movie" and "Meet the Spartans", but a guy's gotta feed his jelly bean habit somehow, amiright?  All that aside, I thought he did an admirable job on the soundtrack to LOTSB.  So much so that I impulse bought it on iTunes.  I can attribute only part of this to the quality of the score.  The rest belongs to this voice inside my head that compels me to let BioWare turn my money into the finest Canadian currency.  The track that stands out the most to me is called "Agent Combat" and I have embedded it for you below.  My only complaint is its length.  It's barely over a minute long, and could easily be triple that.
