Had it been of better synth quality, I might've felt different, but yeah, even though I know it's an early gen SNES game and a lot of games from that area had almost NES-quality synthing, I just can't get into it. It gets under my skin, and not in a good way. It's like gleeps and gloops, like some synthisizer tracks that might come out of a horror film in the early(VERY early) 80s. A few other tracks sound straight out of the 70s, and some(like the caven with the water drips) sound more like something that you'd hear in an RPG than the CV series. But yeah, the two songs that get on my nerves the most are the area of the water ruins where the blocks are falling from the sky(that's ear grating music!!), and the treasury.
And yeah, I love energetic tracks. The pulse pounding gets the tempo of the battle up. But some ambient songs are good too. It just, the synthing has to do the ambience justice.
