* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ76AMDLKp0 Illburns Ruins]], [[SpellMyNameWithAnS or whatever it's called]], has some nice music. In the PC Engine version it's called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spYkKm0yGZU Alcaino Ruins.]]

* When the world map is finally unlocked, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTJNYniviRw Norse Wind]] is a brilliant track to emphasise the newfound freedom the Monstrums have earned. T [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GViBBisDB_4 Super Ultimate Arrangement]] makes the track even better!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEI7XslqkEc&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw Wild Card]] is another contribution from Takahiro Unisuga that plays during some of the Grimwald's Night Raids, which provides a ''VideoGame/TouhouProject''-level intensity as you take the fight to the Lemures.

* One of the most surprises boss themes in the franchise, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QV9FASVcDY&list=PLzFTGYa_evXjqdsmbv0_9h41_PrpI8FRh&index=23 An Assault]] seems like it took a few cues out of Ridley's Theme from the Metroid series at the start, giving it an interesting mix.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLn18RZN39k&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=3 Il Était Une Fois]] is a great song to when one arrives Gllia. Sonoda once more delivers on producing an atmospheric theme, which perfectly encapsulates the whimsical start of the adventure.
* When the world map is finally unlocked, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTJNYniviRw&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=26 Norse Wind]] is a brilliant track to emphasise the newfound freedom the Monstrums have earned. And of course, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GViBBisDB_4 the Super Ultimate Arrangement]] makes the track even better!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4HMX_uhvkk&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=11 Heart Beat Shaker]] only plays in one early-game dungeon and the time attack menu, but that truly helps itself stand out as a dark horse among the rest of the soundtrack.
* Many players noticed from the trailers that the song named after the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A98da5UbppY&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=16 Cloaca Maxima]] stood out, truly becoming among the best tracks in the game, culminating in an amazing solo reminiscent of Daisuke Ishiwatari's works on ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' and ''Franchise/BlazBlue''!
* Though not as popular compared to other songs in the game's repertoire, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9h0whTj5EE&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=10 Welcome To Chaos]] is still quite the hardcore song, specially at the start... The song is sadly wasted as [[LongSongShortScene it only plays for ten seconds per battle]].
* The perfect song to face the main bosses, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta_u4sXfoIE&pp=ygUqWXMgSVggTW9uc3RydW0gTk9YIE9TVCAtIE1vbnN0cnVtIFNwZWN0cnVt Monstrum Spectrum]] delivers quite the hardcore feel to a tough fight. And now with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbKgOVnVuNI Super Ultimate Album]] version, it feels even more like a ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' track at points.
* The song that is considered to be Singa's best composition for the game by some, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-IUKWVP5DA&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=35 The Cave of Groan]], which protects the great tradition of awesome dungeon themes in the franchise, and wouldn't feel out of place in the soundtracks by Motoi Sakuraba.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dD0uOmcJmQ&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=46 Glessing Way!]] is the true standout of the game, perfect for exploring the endgame overworld, manages to exude a similar feel to ''Sunshine Coastline'', going for a more extreme style to emphasise that the final leg of the journey is in sight. To the surprise of none, the song also got selected for a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sld2Jaero7Q&pp=ygUmWXMgSVggTW9uc3RydW0gTk9YIE9TVCAtIEdsZXNzaW5nIFdheSE%3D Super Ultimate]] version that enhances the track, by replacing the lead keyboards with a violin instead. All hail Yukihiro Jindo!
* Takahiro Unisuga couldn't just leave Falcom after 16 years without having some outstanding tracks, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6TeZW9Rtm8&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=39 Desert After Tears]] is a worthy successor to the likes of [[VideoGame/YsOrigin Silent Desert]] and [[VideoGame/YsSEVEN Desert of Despair]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEI7XslqkEc&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=54&pp=iAQB8AUB Wild Card]] is another contribution from Takahiro Unisuga that plays during some of the Grimwald's Night Raids, which provides a ''VideoGame/TouhouProject''-level intensity as you take the fight to the Lemures.
* A FinalBoss theme is always an oral spectacle when done well, and Mitsuo Singa's take on the tradition does ''not'' disappoint: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVuK_k6VYuY Knock on Nox]] plays for both the first phase and the final Grimwald, and it instills a climactic level of hype reminiscent of the Grand Battle themes of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder''! As the FinalBoss enters its OneWingedAngel state, we move to the second and final theme, which eschews the previous theme's hopeful feel for a more grim, desperate atmosphere, as befitting [[BodyHorror the horrific amalgamation of every god that Adol has experienced thus far]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V2Wit5PLGQ&pp=ygUQQW5pbWEgRXJnYXN0dWx1bQ%3D%3D Anima Ergastulum]]. Hayato Sonoda takes what Singa started and provides the proper end, as the song continues and demonstrates that, in spite of such dire straits, the Monstrums 'will' prevail.

Never doubt why people love Yukihiro Jindo!
* Takahiro Unisuga couldn't just leave Falcom after 16 years without having some outstonishing tracks, and though [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6TeZW9Rtm8&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=39 DESERT AFTER TEARS]] is but a desert song, awesomeness of it will make you not pay attention.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEI7XslqkEc&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=54&pp=iAQB8AUB WILD CARD]] is another of Takahiro Unisuga that plays during some of Grimwald's Night Raid. With extreme energy, nearly sounding like a Touhou Project metal cover.
* With now reaching the very final boss, is time for Mitsuo Singa to show that he really is capable, bringing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVuK_k6VYuY Knock on NOX]] for the first phase and battle another alchemy creation of science; and as we move to second and final phase, with everything turning grimmer and are now ready to phase a living abomination as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V2Wit5PLGQ&pp=ygUQQW5pbWEgRXJnYXN0dWx1bQ%3D%3D ANIMA ERGASTULUM]] plays, once can feel the desperete attempt to finish the fight. Hayato Sonoda took what Singa started and gave the proper end, as the song continues and shows that our heroes ain't stopping.

* With a great of a whimsical start [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLn18RZN39k&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=3 Il ÉTAIT UNE FOIS]] is a great song to when one arrives Gllia. Sonoda once more delivering on more atmospheric themes.

And of course the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GViBBisDB_4 the Super Ultimate Arrangement]] makes the track even better!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4HMX_uhvkk&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=11 HEART BEAT SHAKER]] A song that only plays on a singular dungeon early on in the game, and the time attack menu. But truly help itself and stood out.
* Many players noticed from the very beginning that the song after the place [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A98da5UbppY&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=16 CLOACA MAXIMA]] stood out, truly becoming among perphaps the best tracks in the game. When that solo hits!
* Though not the best of songs in the games repertoire, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9h0whTj5EE&list=PLzFTGYa_evXh3xbRlZIl16KjCm__xDqEw&index=10 WELCOME TO CHAOS]] is still quite the hardcore song, specially at the start... The song is sadly wasted as you'll barely listen to it.
* The perfect song to face the primordial boss, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta_u4sXfoIE&pp=ygUqWXMgSVggTW9uc3RydW0gTk9YIE9TVCAtIE1vbnN0cnVtIFNwZWN0cnVt MONSTRUM SPECTRUM]] delivers quite the hardcore feel to fight.
