OST Ranking

Of games I have played

An OST full of melancholy, drama, suspense, intensity, and the Winnie the Pooh theme. An OST that hits me with a barrage of nostalgia every time I go through it. Masterful in every way.
Atmospheric and what can best be described as truly beautiful. While Hamauzu might lack the memorability of Uematsu, the absolute sublimity that graces your ears makes up for it.
Kozuka strikes again and shows if your SMT music knowledge starts and ends with persona, you are severely lacking in any sort of refined taste. While the battle themes really stand out, this time around the more atmospheric tracks bring an incredibly unique sound that only belongs to this game, a mark of a job well done.
While this game does have the benefit of riding on the coattails of the original, many of the completely original tracks stand toe to toe with the original offering, and you can't discredit the work that went into bringing new life into all the original, iconic, tracks.
At this point I enjoy all three Xenoblade games' music about equal. They maintain a distinct "Xenoblade sound" cohesion in each title while maintaining enough of a unique identity of their own. Constantly hearing the series music in the background of Youtube videos is some sort of recognition of quality, right?
Uematsu brought out some of his best work and most likely helped bring out some of the best work of his co-composers too. The chillest tropical tunes and that damn sad piano, that's really all you need.
The gold standard for atmosphere. What black magic went into this to where I can listen to any its songs and feel transported to being racially profiled in Windhelm.
Yoko Shimomura
This song is iconic and this song is iconic and also this song is iconic, oh that one is iconic too and
Here to declare the best Zelda OST; one that is even incredibly enjoyable to listen to on its own as you are not constantly bombarded with its sounds in game. Silence is an instrument, and a very important one.
An underrated game has an underrated OST, go figure. A wild mish-mash of different composers and genres, which is pretty fitting for a game that lacks some cohesion itself.
Not Alone
Kingdom Hearts tends to reuse and remix many songs, but I feel DDD is underrated in all the new it brought to the table.
Pure blissful atmosphere again, it just comes down to me preferring that winter-y feeling Skyrim's OST has
About the same as DDD, just to a lesser extent.
This OST sucks, I love it.
