A lot of new influences and some really smart choices that fit the environments.
I agree with the budget thing, but I honestly do think a lot of the music itself (and their version of iMuse) was really good in ToMi. One thing EMI does well is not looking (or sounding) cheap. You can clearly notice the low budget Telltale had. We all know EMI screwed things on Monkey Island but. It's not as strong as the others (including the Telltale stuff, which was actually really good in that department I thought)
