i don't notice the music on this show much. i'm not sure if that's good or bad. at least it's not distracting. i only notice it if it's a death metal song or something just in your face.i tend to notice music on NCIS more because it's usually blaring in Abby's lab. and the music on Cold Case is chosen to add authenticity to the time period in which the crime took place. but now that you've mentioned it, i'll start paying closer attention to the music on CM.
