>>44227594I've noticed that for most Gen 8 music outside of the towns/Wild Area themes and some of the DLC music. Just zero real cohesion, tons of instruments blaring loudly, feels like there's little direction for the most part, generally unpleasant to listen to. Listen to Route 1 of SwSh, the instruments sound nice, but they clash horribly. Or even the gym leader theme, great beginning that actually feels blood pumping and energetic, then it morphs into weird formless chaos before randomly building up to a dubstep drop with zero actual payoff.
In fact, I'm sure the reason the towns sound nice is that they're all designed to build up to the motif, and if they used the same chaotic, loud for the sake of loud style in each town it'd sound exactly the same every time, and the quality control guys were at LEAST willing to put their foot down there.
