Search your feelings, you know it to be true:

Aside from a few Castlevania games, I challenge you to find worthy contenders.

Yuzo Koshiro is a god, yes

I hope Mondo reprints the vinyl. I got the SOR1 pressing, but was too broke to grab a copy when the second one dropped, now it's like 80$ on discogs

Dont forget to follow Data Discs on twitter, pretty sure they recently announced a reprint for it not too long ago.

When I moved to Japan I emailed Yuzo asking where I could pick up his stuff on CD. He said just to pop by his office and he'd burn me some. I took a tour of the studio and then we went out to dinner with him and Ayano (his sister AKA the lady who did all the SOR sprite work). That was pretty much the most awesome day of my life, or maybe it's tied with the day that the singing Daytona guy showed up at the bar

I'm more partial to SoR1 but SoR2 is fucking genius as well.

The only reason for that is I never got to play SoR2 when I was a kid. Weirdly enough I don't think I ever saw it in a shop or something.

I can't really disagree with the premise of this thread. Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Shatter, and Rez are the only games that come close to SOR1/2 for me.

paprikastaude · « **Reply #9 on:** December 06, 2017, 05:57:08 PM »

I recently got Castlevania Portrait of Ruin and was kinda surprised at how underwhelming the mixture of Yuzo Kushiro and Castlevania could be.

SOR2 isnt even the best Genesis soundtrack.

SOR3 >>>>>> SOR2

Agreed.. SOR1 had less tracks, but every single track on SOR1 was absolute pure Koshiro GOLD. More tracks doesn't always mean better. There were certain tracks on SOR2 that started to shows hints of his descent into SOR3 oddities.

Here's one on my favorite hidden gems: DAT DROP right around 0:24..

And this too...

TEEEPO · « **Reply #22 on:** December 07, 2017, 05:21:24 PM »

here's my controversial opinion: streets of rage 2 had the best bangers while 1 and especially 3 had the better soundtracks

Corporal · « **Reply #23 on:** December 07, 2017, 06:33:25 PM »

Rez's Fear is the mind killer says you're all full of shit.

Frankly though, there's too much to choose from. Not even gonna try.

SOR3 and Beyond Oasis soundtracks had me wondering WTF happened to Koshiro...

paprikastaude · « **Reply #25 on:** December 08, 2017, 08:48:49 AM »

I've enjoyed Beyond Oasias some time ago on a Megadrive collection, but that soundtrack def made it a feat at some points

I guess the soundchip couldn't keep up with whatever he wanted to pull off, because ultimately it was a ear scratching mess.

I'm a Puppy! · « **Reply #26 on:** December 08, 2017, 12:21:58 PM »

There are soundtracks that can be as good as (though they are few and far between) but I agree that none of them can top it.

Cryo · « **Reply #27 on:** December 08, 2017, 02:08:27 PM »

SoR2 is my favorite but I personally feel SoR3 is the more impressive album in terms of what he set out to do and what it accomplished. Now instead of watching netflix I'm going to youtube the OST during my bus ride, thanks!

Getting back to better tracks,

OP's avatar reminded me that Kunoichi had a good OST too....

FUUUUUUU... so yeah, I'd give my soul for Remasters of Shinobi and Kunoichi...

And going back to Koshiro, I'd say Revenge of Shinobi is neck and neck with SOR1 & 2 also..
