Product received for free

I'm almost positive I bought this game before the soundtrack was released, and then got it for free way later on. There is a mix of uncertainty when it comes to this game's soundtrack. Initially, I thought it would be fair to list every flaw by the description the song makes me think of. Which took too much time, and many attempts got lost in progress.
What is listening to the Gang Beasts soundtrack like?
Tracks
  1. Gang Beasts Days: A song with a bit of vaporwave and synthwave combined in a lite core kind of way, with children chanting the name of the game in the background. It's not my kind of thing, its a bit slow, and sounds a little creepy honestly.
  2. Containers of Joy: Sound font similar to the previous song with a bit of take away from a more industrial sound. But again, too slow for what the sound font is trying to portray.
  3. Subway Sly: This one I kinda like. It reminds me of Donkey Kong Country 2 meets a creepy pasta, some of the music plays backwards, and there's an overall musical tone that rotates around itself.
  4. Wheel II Electric Boogaloo: This one is odd because it plays hard into drums and the electric piano I believe. Later in the video, it switches to a more electric xylophone sound it's kinda frantic, but not in a very focused way. It makes me realize that, since it's a party fighting game, I'd rather have either super intense music, or just the wackiest nonsensical music instead.
  5. Chutes Ahoy: This one feels closer to a song you might hear in a Kava bar trying to be a party bar. And like most posers quickly switches its stance into a frantic panic like the previous song, looking like the inspiration for the Nightcore Remix of WASTED (Juice Wrld x Lil Uzi Vert) from huken x murkish. Another repeat is the backwards playing sounds.
  6. Cooling Down: This cheery song reminds me of those V-Tech style learning games that, were absolutely made on out of date technology for a system supposed to copy the SNES.
  7. Gondola Getdown: This song reminds me fondly of listening to old Touhou songs on the electric flute, but it's bogged down by held down notes and a drum and bass set that feels like it was recorded in a bathroom. The problem is it was like an elementary school bathroom. And besides that being problematic, it's also bad.
  8. Buoy Beautiful: This is another of the songs I like, which brings us to 2 of 8 so far, and it feels like it doesn't belong here, there's like a rhythmic beeping and some beats, it feels like it belongs in just an adventure game of some sort, something like an open world sonic game. Or whatever.
  9. Fans Forever: This song makes me visualize having a bad trip while partying at a clown-themed club. It's just nauseating. It's got the beat pattern of something like a Power Ranger theme in the Blade Runner sound font.
  10. Grind ON: LOUD! Very Loud!
  11. Trucks Thump: This one is another odd song it feels like the ending song for some sort of fighting game from early 2010's. That's not this game for sure.
  12. Blimp Flip: This one gives me bubble bobble vibes, but other than that I couldn't explain why, just a vague sense of nostalgia. Also, other than this vibe, it's very unremarkable.
  13. Incinerator Sonata: This sounds a lot like some sort of game that I'd play on old DOS systems it's got blaring midi sounds, and sounds like it's trying to give a bit of a classical vibe to the idea of fire, or heat, or some concept of the sort.
  14. Girders Edge: This has got to be the most generic sounding song, it reminds me of the song that would play at the opening for some Sega Genesis game that was the only game made by a small developer at the time.
  15. Beef City: This song as a whole persona change literally halfway through it, where it just starts sounding like a weird midi bubble pop song.
  16. Gang Beasts Nights: A remix of the first song, giving it a more night time feel. However, it's in this listener's opinion that it sounds more winter-y for some reason.
  17. Containers Bang: I feel like this song would be a great addition to a bootleg Crash Bandicoot game that's de-made on something like one of the weird game consoles made between the 90's to 2000's like the WonderSwan.
  18. Subway Air: I get that city life can be a bit dreary, but in a way I think that's overplayed. This song is really good, it feels like what I imagine city nights in a Cyberpunk future of downtown Orlando would sound like. I get it, there will never be a subway in Florida, but a person can dream.
  19. Wheel Real: Actual. Literal. Unironic. Clown music. Falling, Rising, Falling, Rising, All happening in Dreamland.
  20. Chutes Loose: From this point forward on, the songs in this album are all alternates of previous songs in the album. If you listen real carefully to this song, in certain parts, you can hear someone telling you how they miss the rage.
  21. Cooling OUT: I like this song a lot, it sounds like the start of After Dark by Mr. Kitty, but then speeds up unexpectedly. Then later, slows back down, it feels good, but doesn't fit the game again.
  22. Gondola Dive: Another interesting song, it's got parts I like, but overall it's rather bland. It does this thing where it sounds like a muted song, or a song being played in another room, and that's fine, but I'm not listening to Caramel Dancing being played from another room for 10 hours again. Or Nyancat for that matter.
  23. Buoy Bounce: Unremarkable. But the only song with a send off.
  24. Fans Glam: This one's cool, this sounds like a synth-wave extravaganza, and could see this being played in games like Cyberpunk 2077, just feels again, odd here. It picks up as the song goes on and it's pretty good.
  25. Grind Grind Grind: This is another interesting song that gives me Sega Genesis vibes, something mixing what I'd expect from some sort of RPG on the genesis with Radical Rex or Vectorman, throwing in the electric piano from the forest area of Donkey Kong Country.
  26. Trucks Twang: Interesting change in theme for this song. It's very country/classic rock sounding. Then adds in that distant chanting again, throwing off the vibe again.
  27. Blimp Drift: Again, weird shift in music tone here. I guess with these last songs they decided to throw off the vibe. It's got chanting like the last song, bur predominantly features some sort of string instrument (probably a violin).
  28. Incinerator Suite: Genuinely have nothing to say about this song, its just meh.
  29. Girders Wild: Had to relisten to this song over and over, just to try and form an opinion, besides the Dark souls start-up to the song, there isn't much for me to comment on.
  30. Beef City Hustle: Finally I'm done with this album, and my review can be complete, but what do I get for my patients? A song that sounds like it was written by and for Pigs on a farm. Not cops. A.C.A.B.
    TL;DR
    Why the ♥♥♥♥ would you make this? Skip this crap.
    Or don't I don't care, go outside.
