I just listened to SMT 1 & 2 on youtube. Yea, the 'Cathedral of Shadows' tracks are much worse. They sound like a wall of sound hitting you. The soundtrack really doesn't push the hardware the way the old games did.
I disagree now with my filler comment. I do find the timbres in tracks like 'Premonition' to be very boring. Skip tracks like 'Battle - B6' and 'Purgatorium'. 'Battle - B8' starts off with bad midi brass sound and makes you want to turn it off, but then it turns into good music like the PC game "Descent".
The composers do a great job of setting up a desolate environment sound to then exploding into a fight to the death.
-edit pending-
