For over a month now I've been reviewing nothing but soundtracks, I am aware it's odd that most of the time my reviews are specifically for the Games themselves, and the soundtracks are referenced in the review usually, but I feel as though the artists that produce the music don't get enough credit, so here I am, endeavoring to review the soundtracks that these artists have worked on. It's taken me some time to realize that this leaves space for some overlapping review issues. Where a game review is inherently reviewing the efforts of the game's entirety and the teams that have worked on it, soundtracks usually fall on the shoulder of far fewer people. Yet, I feel that it falls inappropriately on the shoulders of fewer people than it really should. Let me touch base on this later. For now, let's go over the soundtrack.

0.) Trailer - This is really cool in my opinion because although the song is not featured in the game, they still leave a spot for it in the soundtrack, by listing it as a song taking place before the first actual song in the game, in this kind of scenario I don't feel like it's a cheap insert because it's not taking up a slot in the track-list, and isn't featured already in the game.
1.) I feel so Eerie - In the title of this song, you are given a set of information that makes you believe (preemptively) in what you are about to listen to. And good for you, this leads you directly to what it's going to do, give you an eerie feeling. That reading skill comes in handy with this one. This song sets up the game and sets up the rest of the album, this is an eerie game, and you will feel that by the end of it. This one is pretty long too, a little over 9 minutes, and does pick up in speed which is really nice background atmosphere.
2.) Friends Forever even when You're gone - Similar tonal notes can be found in this song as with the previous song, however, it's more of a whimsical feel, playing off during flashback scenes that occur prior in the game's story. I've heard similar electric instruments in games like "Not the Robot(s)," and Binding of Issac.
3.) Feell into the Adventure of my life - I don't know if this song is intentionally spelled this way or if it's an accidental oversight. Part of the confusing part is that this is the "Remastered" soundtrack, which is interesting because there is no record of a non-remastered soundtrack. This would imply that at one point or another, the Soundtrack was updated for some reason. Anyway, the song takes advantage of the noisecore style of musical voices as instruments instead of lyrics which is pretty cool.
4.) If this is the end then let it be - This one starts off really slow, implementing pianos and distant reverbed voices that set a sort of credits-style ending music, it's fun to listen to because of how relaxing it is, there are overall a lot of relaxing songs in this album, to be frank.
5.) BulbHop (Ending) - Quite the odd song for the soundtrack. It sounds more like it's a reference to 90s hip-hop mixed with drum and bass. In fact, it's so much that, it would not surprise me to hear a version of this song in something like Friday Night Funkin' as the lyrics are performed by the sound effects that Bulboy (the main character) makes.
6.) Fart you Grandma! - Playing off the previous song, this too does not match the rest of the soundtrack, I get that it's a chase scene I believe, but this is way too fast and upbeat, I like it, but it sounds out of place. It reminds me more of old Crash Bandicoot songs, or Sonic the Hedgehog songs. Also I've never heard a breakdown in a drum and bass song performed by a series of fart sounds clearly made by someone's mouth.
7.) Window view loop (Ingame) - It's a sound effect that is used when you are looking out the window in the game, glad it's in, not so glad that it's taking up a slot.
8.) Bubble Sequence (Ingame) - This is another sound effect, activating during a specific sequence that I can't quite remember, but because it's once again under a minute, you'll get annoyed with the weird drunken mess that this sound effect sounds like.
9.) Bonus Track - TV BulbRingu Theme (Ingame): The interesting part of this track, is that it plays only during one part, this is something more akin to a sound effect than even the previous ones that, I personally, would call a sound effect, and yet I don't see a track dedicated to the weird squishy sounds that BulbBoy makes, and that's the most disappointing part.
10.) Bonus Track - TV BulbMan Theme (Ingame): It's wild to me that this is still part of what is considered a soundtrack, it's 16 seconds long and sounds like a clip from the opening of some 1970s anime like Astroboy, and honestly I think that's what they were going for.
11.) Bonus Track - TV 8th Passenger of Bulbomo Theme (Ingame): It's a sound effect in my book, at 40 seconds long exactly, it gives off a very eerie sound design that feels like it's warping around the listener, and that's cool.
12.) Bonus Track - Bulb Plays the Videogame (Ingame): Absolutely in no regard to I feel like justifying this sound effect as a song, that takes space in a soundtrack DLC. It is under 10 seconds in length, and although I think that the chiptunes used are awesome to listen to, it's not even a looped song, it's just a once-through sound. I find that wild to me.

When it comes to soundtracks like this, they do some things right, and others wrong. I get that perhaps the main composer only came up with these songs that were used in the game, There are only 2 contributing artists listed: Bartosz Gajdarski, and Elzbieta Mazurkiewicz. Bartosz's name is on every song. This leads me to believe that someone else did the rest of the sounds in the game. I find this unappealing when looking at a soundtrack for the game in total. When sound effects are included in a game soundtrack, I want to be able to listen to the sound test files of the entire game. This soundtrack is slightly more aware of this than the previous album I reviewed. The reason for this, specifically has to do with the trailer song not be counted in the full list of the soundtrack. It's listed as song 0. That's kind of neat, and honestly with it being unique to the rest of the songs, it could just be considered its own thing. Likewise, another solution could be listing the sound effects as a single track listed as 0 or negative numbers. In all, there is a total of 13 songs. Not taking a negative point off the trailer song, (since it doesn't violate my specific criteria), that means in total, if I like every "actual" song in this soundtrack, that leaves the total score of 6/12 (50%) or a 7/13 (53.846153% repeating) or a 7/12 (58.3% repeating). So a score between 50% and 58.3% repeating. That's still a bad score. For what it's worth, the album only asks for 4 dollars (3.99 USD) to purchase. That's not too much, and if you do really like all the songs, you're basically purchasing 6-7 songs for that amount. Maybe it's worth it, on a song-by-song description, but it's the overall score I'm basing this off of. So that's a bad score from me. Anyways kids remember, If you got nothing to lose, you got everything to gain, so go out there and seize the means, or blow up a pipeline, or watch the movie.
