I find this true for all collaboration soundtracks, actually. FFX is by far my favorite Final Fantasy soundtrack and it's for the very reason that Nobuo didn't compose the whole damn thing by himself. When he has to create a whole soundtrack of 90+ songs, there's always a large amount of them that just suck, and then there's his fantastic awesome stuff too. But with FFX, it's like he didn't have to overuse his creativity, and so there was way less suckage by him and the other two guys. Multi-composer soundtracks just kinda rule.
Also, there's definitely stuff from the first Ar Tonelico soundtrack that I really dig, I just had to take a stab at all the chanty stuff
It's still a good soundtrack though.
