i've been listening to Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi soundtracks at work recently (and the Super Mario RPG OST as well) and i've gotta ask. Why is Thousand Year Door's soundtrack Like That (derogatory)

#i'm not sure i'm necessarily looking for answers #but i was literally sitting there baffled as to why my brain fucking hated most of the songs in the playlist #i'm torn between it being the lack of (hummable) melodies or there only being like 5 instruments total #which makes everything sound the same in this...Ambient Synth Mush #its wild because the PM64 and SPM soundtracks are perfectly fine. It's just this one that drives me bonkers for some reason #and i cant tell if i'm biased or not #TTYD has always felt to me like a generic fantasy rpg that they dropped Mario and co into at the last possible second #i feel like the soundtrack exemplifies that #especially with the underground theme in the titular TYD whose idea was that and why not use that prologue tune #i like that prologue tune (it plays when the crystal stars do their 'unite the world' thing also)#its one of the few tunes i remember lmao #i think its the only melody that pushes through as a motif/theme and plays more than once in the playlist #(please god someone correct me) (does grubba's theme persist at least? the train songs? the x-nauts and grodus? I couldnt tell...)#mlv.txt #also pour one out for the Superstar saga remake ost #god.#that poor thing.
