Enough of this 'positivity' and 'hidden gems' nonsense. Let's go back to our roots and complain.

I'll pre-empt everyone about to say the Chrono Cross battle theme by pointing that out right away.

As for my own contribution, Garreg Mach's theme in the second half of Three Houses notably hurt my enjoyment of the game due to how often I have to listen to it.

I expect there to be some pushback for the Three Houses theme, but the CC battle theme gets brought up constantly in this vein!

And not really "bad" but a pretty boring final boss theme in an otherwise great OST

And before someone says it, The Oracle is amazing.

This absolute gem of a stinker has to be mentioned, though I'm not sure I'd say Resident Evil even has a "great" soundtrack. Only played the remake though, and I just don't really remember it at all.

I was trying to think of what my answer was for FFVIII and I believe I found it

https://youtu.be/BiODxLhIW84

Not only is this song totally uninteresting, it commits an unforgivable sin in replacing Silence and Motion after the Lunatic Pandora sequence in Esthar.

to be fair it is a bangin' 6 seconds just with nothing else, and when it pops in-game i can totally rock with it

since you know my love of Crystal Bearers OST I'mma just post a repetitive loop that fills me with complete and total anxiety

Nice, I thought of this exact one too.

It's... actually kind of grown on me by now through subsequent playthroughs, but it's still my least favorite track. I used to HATE this song.

Resident Evil's soundtrack is amazing, both original and remake, but it wouldn't do much I guess if you weren't into dark ambient and the like. Director's Cut soundtrack is a different story, most of it is pretty lame but some of the hallway tracks are still pretty great in my book.

that's exactly right. I have a friend who makes absurdist music and a lot of it sounds shockingly like Toycomp. That whole sequence is an absolute fever dream in every way

I came in thinking FF5: Harvest, except I generally like what the Pixel Remaster did to it.

Then I came in thinking FFXIV: Labyrinthos's day theme, but that's personal preference. It's all boingy Harvest Moon senseless Violins and it doesn't feel like it fits the zone at all (a continent-sized underground biodome/research facility, essentially.)

Street Fighter 4 training stage is just... so damn cheesy for me, though, and probably gets my vote. (Character themes, if we have to consider them as well, I'll throw Guy under the bus for that one.)

Castlevania 3's soundtrack is a masterpiece. Until the final stage's song, "Pressure" starts playing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxrOuQ1hneY

It also plays during an intense chase sequence, in a totally separate level, and it's not so bad there, it serves its purpose. So I think they just ran out of music for the last level, and re-used this, and it just doesn't fit at all, just unbelievably grating.

In the actual soundtrack album, this only plays for like 10 seconds, and even that is too much.

Hard disagree on both. Especially the first one. I just beat DSO a few months ago and can't remember any song irritating me.
