Many of these tracks are terrific in their own right, but when given a thorough rocking-out by the original composer, Nobuo Uematsu, and his Black Mages, they become something exceptional. Great instrumentation on all parts, from the guitar, to drums, synthesizers and rock organs, and even some tasty bass lines to top it all off. All the battle themes are instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the games, but still feel fresh in their arrangement.
Special mention has to go to "Dancing Mad", a twelve-minute long opus that is a fitting remix of the original final boss theme from Final Fantasy VI. That track alone makes this entire album worth buying. Other highlights include "Those Who Fight Further" and "JENOVA" from FFVII, as well as the perennial favorite "Battle On The Big Bridge" from FFV.
In short, if you're a fan of the Final Fantasy series, or just epic rocking in general, this album is a necessity for your collection.
