[Album] Final Fantasy X (SSCX-10054~7)

I was not a big fan of this at first, but it grew on me after the game and mutiple listens. Now I love the entire effort. All three composers had good tracks and some average tracks. I'll break this down for each composer.

Uematsu - I thought his contributions were pretty good. To Zanarkand is a lovely melody, Otherworld was a surprise, but darn good, especially since I'm a metal fan. The battle theme is pretty good, if a little tiresome. Blitzball Gamblers is among the best of his contributions, as well as Calm Before the Storm. All in all he was good in this soundtrack. I give him ****

Hamauzu - Even though his first track wasn't until the last 1/3 of disc 1, it was excellent, Besaid Island is really good. Then, I can say that he really didn't have a bad track the rest of the way, and People of the Far North is utterly brilliant. I also Really like Macalania Forest and Decisive battle. I give him *****

Nakano - I already knew that Nakano was heavily ambient in his works, and thats no problem with me, I like ambient music. That said, his efforts were decent, three of his best tracks were from disc 1 in my opinion, those being, Tis is your story, Enemy attack, and Illusion, my favorite of those being Illusion, a very icy ambient piece. Luca is also very good. Challenge and Summoned Beast Battle are the last two very good tracks he did, but unfortunately he did have some boring ambient pieces that did nothing though. But overall ****.

In summary, this is an excellent addition to the FF legacy, a bit different, but very fulfilling, and I say that it gets a total score of *****.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
