SOUNDTRACK SCORE = DUN DUN DUN 

Oh man prepare for a lot of Iga heads

01 Theme of Bloodstained
   
This is Yamane's best contribution, easily. It's her through and through and brings me to tears pretty much every time.

02 Call of Eternity
 
These songs are a mainstay, but the chanting of this one isn't pleasant to me and I want to just skip through it.

03 Prologue

Pretty good prologue song.

04 Voyage of Promise
 
Perhaps Yamane's best stage song. Sets the tone for the game (and project) as being our voyage. I miss the old non-orchestral one's opening sound and the slightly more nautical vibe it used to have.

05 Luxurious Overture
 
Fancy pants entry song is fancy. That's mostly all I can say.

06 Lost Garden
 
I thought this was just a slightly different Luxurious Overture the first time I heard it in the background, and it's not bad though.

07 Holy Wisdom
 
Probably a 3.5  _igas here. It's not a bad chapel song, but it doesn't blow me away in any manner.

08 Gears of Fortune
 
Perhaps my favorite stage song. This is where Noisycroak to me begins to surpass Yamane's contributions to the game (to me).

09 Bibliotheca Ex Machina

It's a weird one, but I like it fine.

10 Overdrive

It's okay, kind of forgettable until its mid/end section.

11 Vestiges of Corruption


12 Ritual of the Night
 
This, Terminus, and Vestiges all kind of blend together for me, but they're not bad.

13 Forgotten Jade

Great Yamane water level song, but not on the level of Crystal Teardrops.

14 Interred Glory


15 Cursed Orphan

I've always liked this one, but was thinking/hoping it'd get some touches or lengthen somehow after its initial 2015 iterations. Thanks, Yamada-san, for your song here.

16 Autumn’s Desolation
 
Pretty great Japanese stage. I love how it mixes the electronic sound with the traditional Japanese instruments, giving the "lab" feel to it.

17 Goliath
 

18 Terminus


19 Theme of Gebel

I like this song, but I like it more in CotM actually heh

20 Theme of Dominique

sigh

21 Theme of Johannes

Playful and offbeat, and gets you in the crafting mood.

22 Theme of Zangetsu

All iterations of Zangetsu's song are really nice.

23 Theme of Alfred


24 Theme of OD

It's kind of just "you're in the library, and this is the library merchant song".

25 In Peace’s Embrace


26 Foreboding


27 Surpassing Grief


28 Attack of the Grotesque

One of Yamane's better boss songs, but it's still to me not something she is strong at.

29 The Executioners

Amazing. Noisycroak knocking it out of the park again.

30 Honoring the Oath

I was hoping this would be better. It kind of reflects how I feel about Gebel in general - he didn't have much of a part to play in RotN. Perhaps the prequel.

31 Exorschism

Amazing

32 Silent Howling

This is the best boss song in Castlevania (and Bloodstained) history.

33 Repentance

SIGH

34 King of Kings

Big serious boss time ahhhhhhhhhhh

35 Theme of Bloodstained Piano Version

Excellent. 

36 Theme of Bloodstained Vocal Version (Japanese)
 

36b Theme of Bloodstained Vocal Version (English)
 
I slightly prefer the Japanese vocal. 

37 An Unclouded Sky


38 End Credits

"Yamane-san plays a harpsicord - the song". I feel it does do what it is supposed to, though, and I can feel some of the journey we've been through as I listen to it, but not as much as I'd like.

39 Valiant Stride

Badass 8-bit song. Really hits me like an opening NES CV level.

40 Silent Howling 8bit

Not quite on the level of the regular version, but good anyway. The bass/drum seems to overwhelm the rest of the chip at the beginning.

41 Game Over
 

42 Theme of Tamako

hahaha I never would have guessed the Van Halen song thing was for a regular enemy.

I have not actually listened to the following yet because I'm awaiting their content first for full context/experience:

43 Brave Trigger
44 Sinister Sign
45 Everblack
46 Fear

Overall,
