I strongly disagree. I think this track is a remarcable attempt at originality, and it works perfectly both as a final battle theme and as a mood-setting track. For me, it's the best theme of its kind in the series next to One Winged Angel. Both are epic and fit the mood very well.

The album also includes several songs, the what-were-they-thinking “Otherworld,” a completely out of place death metal tune, and “Sudeki Da Ne,” the most banal pop song to be attached to any Final Fantasy album thus far.

My thoughts exactly.
On the whole, I would give this album 7/10, because of its lack of consistency, and I give 10/10 to Hamauzu for bringing fresh air into the series.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
