There may be nothing wrong with the way it is presented in the game, but I will never understand why someone would buy the soundtrack to listen standalone. There seems to be a great push for minimalism in soundtracks these days, in a desperate attempt to emulate their cousin; the motion picture, which started the whole trend with the Hans Zimmerfication of every single soundtrack.

Oh well. I cannot comment on modern music, I don't listen to anything post year 2001! Haha
Hey, I keep listening to the XIII soundtrack. I love Hamauzu's impressionistic flavor.
