It's well established that /vp/ has fairly mediocre taste in music. Thus, I propose the following:
If you want me to take your opinion seriously (regardless of whether you're defending or praising the OST), post a track you find to be subpar from the series, and post a different piece of VGM that you believe does its job better. The better your choice of replacement, the more seriously I'll take your opinion. I'll start.
GARBAGE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9h6wRuppAI - Given that you've just been told that Team Flare is about to nuke the world with the ultimate weapon, I don't understand the use of the laid back infiltration theme here. It's not a bad track without context (although i'd hesitate to call it good), but the situation is clearly demanding something a bit more urgent.
REPLACEMENT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOR5driCvO4VERDICT: Sword/Shield's OST is
garbage. Mixing is frequently poor, the style is incredibly bland, and the compositions are often uninspired. Only a tiny handful of tracks are worth the time spent listening to them, and those tracks aren't good enough to become favourites.
