severily overrating kill la kill and kabaneri's OST.

I honestly think aldnoah's was better than both, also AoT should be god tier.

You're right it should be God Tier. I love Monolith but they fucked up the overall music placement in that game, as well as music volume. Sometimes the music blares over the dialogue and sometimes you can't hear the music for shit.

Also, the two themes for NLA, by far the two themes you hear the most, are easily the worst tracks in the game. With those out of the way, the title theme, Main Theme (ThemeX), and all the continent themes are Elder God Tier. And that's just glossing over the OST not even mentioning things like the amazing Manon Ship theme.

>>156491796
>>156491513

Is anyone familiar with his drama works? His Team Medical Dragon and Mare OSTs are really good, probably better than some of his anime works.

>>156492144
This, it was flawless through and through I'd argue Aldanoah was 2nd best but Unicorn without a doubt is in a league of it's own

Thunderbolt Fantasy was fairly weak. I listened to the OST again last week and it felt like Sawano was just messing around.

Jesus fucking Christ you could not have made this any worse. Though I haven't listened to Thunderbolt's soundtrack so I just put it in shit.

You can move some of the middle tiers around, but Xenoblade X is shit and his magnum opuses are Ao no Exorcist and Unicorn. Those aren't arguable.

wew lad

>>156495272
This sounds like you could place it in just about any of his OST's and it would just blend right in. Nothing exceptional about it.

Aldnoah's music was ON POINT the entire run, it shouldn't be lower than Top Tier at least.
It wasn't pretentious as the other works, but it wasn't a pushover either, the perfect balance.
Also, the insert song lyrics (Breathless, KoKo, No Diffs) were absolutely relevant to the plot, +1 for that.

>Crescent Love not even listed

Shit taste.

>>156497803
A/0 is one of the OSTs I listen to most, along with several of Kabaneri's (most of the OST is good as long as you avoid the vocal bits). I haven't watched blue exorcist, but from what I've listened to from it, it's pretty low tier. Basara and KLK should switch places as well. Then again, this is mostly all opinion.

>>156495272
>>156496309
I agree with it being lower tier Suwano (although it's far from shit). The music was used really damn well in the anime, and matched the scenes it needed to, but it's really not an OST that's great to listen to outside the series. I think that's a mistake a lot of people make in judging osts: good osts can be screwed by shit sound direction, and weak osts can be amazing with good sound direction (although nothing saves shit osts).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDbh3lLi1ZY

Sad seeing people shit on Xenoblade, but it makes sense being on /a/.

>>156498034
Good thing that you recognize it's opinion because your opinion is pretty shit. Ao no Exorcist is by far his best OST.

>>156489525
All of his music sounds the same.

>>156498099
I am open to being convinced, I've mostly just clicked around on random tracks from it. It sounded pretty generically Suwano, though. Although I've not touched the anime and have no real interest in it, so that probably doesn't help.

>>156498170
I wish, but somes are clearly better than others.

He should also fire David Whitaker, he openly mocked Sawano and admitted he did bullshit lyrics (including the famous XenobladeX one), how is this allowed?

>>156498067
XCX's OST is great but in the actual game the tracks you hear the most are absolute trash so you end up with people like >>156495373 applying them to the entire OST.

Platinum Data has to be shit tier.

To be honest, it's quite early to rank ReCreators. You don't see SnK S2 here, even though it has new tracks. The same should apply here. We're 3 or 4 episodes in, do you think you've seen everything there is to offer?

Those are always the tracks that redeem his albums.

Those tracks from KLK's OST just gave you an entirely different vision of what's to come.
If you just listened to the OST without watching KLK, you'd come up with a more coherent, a more slowly paced storyline - with great, matching tracks for the battles.

I kinda liked that Trigger made shit up as they went, but it could have been a lot better handled.

>>156505599

Stopped right there. Memes aside, Kabeneri really did have one of his stronger OSTs.

I'm not sure what made him decide to add some vaguely Arabic vibes to the Biba theme segments, but it makes for a really interesting sound.

>>156505599
Pretty much agree with you word for word, he's just become too much of a meme composer now. It' like being typecast, I bet directors come to him and say, "Eee Sawano-san, I want a kickass and bombastic signature track that I can blare everytime something happens, like the stuff you did for Unicorn!".

While Yoko Kanno I feel gets the reins handed to her completely in some of her best work.
