The soundtrack could be better...

.....In particular the shootout out with Hector the bandit didnt really fit,low quality and not capturing the mood

The soundtrack didn't wow me until I realized much of the music was from well known songs rearranged to sound old-westerny. In the saloon the piano was playing Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. Kinda blew my mind the moment I recognized it.

The music during the shootout was Paint It Black by the Stones. And it was excellent.

And since both of those songs have 'Black' in the title, it may be interesting to keep an ear out for themes, what with the Man in Black being such a prominent character.

Are you kidding me? The player piano was playing Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun"!!! There was another tune in the episode that I still can't figure out the lyrics and the song because it's been made into and orchestration. The soundtrack is brilliant!

The main theme IS disappointing to me. I thought it could've been so much better, but the rest of the soundtrack is great.
