I'm pretty much the same as Jorge. It's not that I hate the music, but it's not the right fit for Castlevania in my opinion. Just because I think its generic doesn't mean I think its awful.

The best CV music IMO is Belmont's revenge soundtrack; no other game will ever have the gothic-yet-not-cheesy-but-classy tone of that whole game, every track is not just good VG music, just change the 6bit chiptone for a piano and you have some masterful solo pieces. That's the unbeateable soundtrack for me and second place is LoS' (Third is Curse of Darkness, great stuff there too)

I agree with Ahasverus(!), Belmont's Revenge has a great soundtrack.

I disagree. The soundtrack was unfitting because Christopher Belmont was too slow for the music.
Just kidding.

I have a soft spot for Simon's Quest.

Of the newest outings, I *really* like LoI's soundtrack. In many ways as "different" as LoS', but still incredibly awesome.

Now that I have fully digested the game I can give my proper opinion the music. The battle themes are phenomenal and I listen to them quite often. The others, other than waterfalls and Belmont's theme, are only good while I'm playing the game.

Those are two of my favorites. I also liked SotN and Dracula X a lot. Even Judgement for them re doing all the old music.

I groove to CVJudgment's music on a daily basis. :D

I don't know, I'm not too hot for Judgement. It's... too much. Too angry, to dirty. It may be because I play guitar and almost all those remixes are guitar driven and I wouldn't play the old tunes that way. It's definitely too fast, for my tastes. CV music is upbeat, not trash metal.

I'm not agree at all. The music for Castlevania Judgament is almost perfect. The game is a horrible amount of garbage, from the designs to the gameplay, but I can't stop hearing that awesome tunes  ;).

I really can't enjoy the Judgment soundtrack. I do however like the Dracula Battle albums.
