I'm reserving judgement until we see some of his plans for the composition and the direction he intends to take the music.

I did love his work on Moon, and of course Lux Aeterna, so it's clear he can compose some great music. I'd still love for them to keep the original theme (the Mass Effect Theme and Vigil are amazing pieces of music) and perhaps modify it somehow for the third game.

Although ME2's music was good, it deviated so much from what came before that I was left a little surprised. It makes sense to keep a musical sense of continuity (compare with John Williams and the Star Wars original trilogy, and his leitmotifs).
