Due to my (then quickly faded) enjoyment of Destiny, I invested into the season pass (back then) and came into the questionable joy of playing the Dark Below tonight. Let me share my impressions with you (know, that I played my fair share of Destiny at around 120 hours and over 23.600 kills). I played everything the DLC has to offer except the raid.
- no new music as was advertised, its all remixes of existing tracks - no new zones/planets, just 2-3 new "areas" that have been locked off before - no new types of enemies that I noticed - no continuation of the story, rather its a "new arc" thats easy to fit in because it says so little - no new characters (eris is barely a vendor, surely no "characters") - no new cutscenes
- a few new items/weapons with newly mixed stats on them that don't change the basic mechanics how everything works - a new vendor (eris) giving out bounties and emblems (just like the queen did) - few changes to the loot tables - 4 story missions (i was solo-blazing through them in under 45 minutes) - 2 new strikes (each of them really offers nothing new except more bulletsponge bosses rapid-spawning minions onto you) - 1 new raid (that I didn't try and will avoid since I already hated the first one)
So I basically saw everything new in a bit under 90 minutes except the raid and now there is only one thing left to do: grind some more. I won't even comment on this abomination of a DLC (that should be free really, considering how LITTLE content the core game and the DLC, even put together, still is) any further than I just did. Judge for yourself.

Top 5 Indies I'd recommend you try: #1 Lovecraft's Untold Stories, #2 Moonlighter, #3 Hotline Miami, #4 Inside, #5 Into the Breach.
I noticed totally different soundtracks. And also Skyshock is the best 6v6 map EVER!(! (which is one of the 3 new cruicible maps u failed to mention ) ........Besides that u have a point.
