As for theme...well...at least the old Changing Keys tune is very much there, but doesn't sound like many other real instruments are.
Synths, an electric guitar here and there, typical "modernized" standards. It's not terrible, though.

I am not a fan of the new music package. Everything is so LOUD. It’s hard to distinguish a melody in a lot of the cues.
I really liked the previous package, too, so this is disappointing.

I'm amused/annoyed by the haters of the "new" music. Yes, they called it a "new theme song." Mainly cause it's making me feel old knowing some people were born/grew up AFTER Wheel stopped using Changing Keys.

I like the music package, and I find I have the opposite problem: it's hard to hear the music over the cheering and applause to fully appreciate it. They seem to be using the bridge or other parts of the theme that aren't the main melody line. The intro sequence, for example, uses the last few bars before the G-Ab-Bb "puzzle solved" cue. One would think they'd use the main part of the melody that everyone remembers.
Robair:
You think of how that music suite evolved from 1983 to now...for the first 17 or 18 years, all the changes to the music were personally done by Merv Griffin, and his upgrades always met with my approval. This time though it seems like too much gravitas for a hangman game. If you took the very end of the current J! and WOF themes and played them back, you couldn't tell the difference.
BrandonFG:
It reminds me of the ABC prime time revivals. It’s catchy, it has me tapping my toes, but it feels like something’s missing. On the ABC shows, they play the same verse over and over and don’t get anywhere close to a bridge or a breakdown. And I get that we don’t have two minutes for the closing like we used to, but I’d love to hear other portions of the theme, instead of the same hook.
That’s not me being a hAtEr, I’d just like some variety.
