'''Brutes''' is a musical track in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. It includes the tracks ''Brutes'', ''Lost'', ''Dream Again'', and ''We're Done Here''. It runs for exactly 5 minutes and 07.591 seconds (5:07.591) and plays during the ''[[Halo 3]]'' campaign mission [[Crow's Nest (level)|Crow's Nest]].

''Brutes'' plays during the battle with the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] in the [[Crow's Nest (base)|Crow's Nest]] barracks. It starts off with a remix of the climax of the [[Halo: Original Soundtrack]] song ''[[Enough Dead Heroes]]'', which plays for around 0:35.

''Lost'' starts when the [[John-117|Master Chief]] heads up the elevator after the barracks, and during the ensuing fight against Jump-pack Brutes. It remains relatively quiet until 0:53, when a new melody is introduced by a high synth/wind note, with percussion joining in at approximately 1:15. At about 2:00, this melody is gradually replaced by dissonant string notes and choral voices, similar to (but slower than) the [[Sacred Icon Suite]] from the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]. Lost runs for around 1:54.

''Dream Again'', a modified version of the ''Halo'' Original Soundtrack song, [[Perchance to Dream]] and the ''Halo 2'' Original Soundtrack song, [[Flawed Legacy]] , seemingly mixed with [[Under Cover of Night]] begins to dominate the other sounds, starting at about 2:29. This gradually fades out of the track until, at about 3:58, it can be heard no more. Dream Again plays in the service tunnel leading to the Motor Pool, where the player fights many [[Grunts]] on turrets. This piece plays for around 1:30.

''We're Done Here'', which starts at 3:59, plays while the Master Chief flees from Crow's Nest after arming the bomb. Electronic sounds are once again generated, but this time at a faster tempo. A remix of the "[[Delta Halo Suite|Delta Halo Theme]]" from ''Halo 2'' appears in this last movement. We're Done Here plays for 1:06.

*''Brutes'' is a remix of the climax of [[Enough Dead Heroes]] (famously played when fighting [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] for the first time).
*''Lost'' features a soft high and shimmering synth melody, similar to [[Orbit of Glass]], and ends with a similar dissonant string/choral arrangement as heard in the [[Sacred Icon Suite]].
*''Dream Again'' is a combined remix of [[Perchance to Dream]] and [[Under Cover of Night]].
*The Delta Halo Theme is featured in the last movement, ''We're Done Here''.
*In the ''Halo 3'' gameplay, this is played when the [[John-117|Master Chief]] is trying to escape the base after activating the bomb in the [[Crow's Nest]] base.
