Good to know! Maybe my fear was misplaced. How are Kiyota's tracks?
Judge Ito, I get a little touchy about soundtracks for games that I actually look forward to playing. This is a Takahashi game, and that kind of music just doesn't belong. I'm still disappointed over Shimomura being put in the lead role, but at least she stays away from that particular genre.
Not that there's anything wrong with rock or metal or any derivative or hybrid of either, it's just that most composers suck at writing in those styles. It's always about excessive wailing and effects or hyperactive solos or technical virtuosity--none of which are substantial enough qualities on their own to build an entire composition around. The issue is compounded when taking into account the typically predictable chord progressions and flat, diluted arrangements.
