I wouldn't listen to that song or that sort of music for pleasure, but the stark contrast between the otherworldly, creepy sound that you're talking about that was present through the whole movie, and then just the intense hard (relative) normalcy of that song gave the ending such a powerful and triumphant feel. That whole final scene is fantastic, but hearing that song play as Neo slides on his sunglasses and does "his Superman thing" makes that scene, in tvtropes language, a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
