The music in general isn't like some of the past FF's, fast paced at times, and easily memorable. But still FFXII had some great music I thought. Even incorporated a couple of past FF songs a little bit into the game. And quite a few of the songs have an FF feel like normal songs, especially an FF:Tactics feel too.
If you want you can listen to the music here and see what you think of it.
Personally I don't think it's as bad as some people made it out to be. The Empire and Judge themese were especially pretty catchy I thought. ^^
