Jeremy Soule vs. Nobuo Uematsu

[Slothy]

That said, why not have the best of both worlds?

Agreed, that arrangement is great. I haven't heard much of Soule's music, except the soundtrack for Star Wars: KotOR, and I thought that was quite weak, so I prefer Uematsu's music.

Agreed on KotOR. The stuff that was good was a little too much like every other Star Wars soundtrack ever, and the rest was kind of weak. I'd reccomend giving Oblivion a try. It's got one of the best soundtracks I've heard since Shadow of the Colossus. I do think that overall Soule is very good, especially at arranging, but like I said before, Uematsu is better at creating music that stands out and sticks with you on a consistant basis.
