Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Ultimate Edition Soundtrack Review

I admit I'm not a fan of the Castlevania series. I know it's beloved by many, but the franchise never won me over, not even in the NES days or the highly lauded Symphony of the Night. Go on ahead and yell obscenities at me; I'm used to it. So I also admit I wasn't too excited about receiving a copy of the Ultimate Edition soundtrack for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. When I first listened to it, I was initially disappointed. What was so great or unique about this? It sounded so generic, so typical for a video game. After listening to the fantastic Lost Planet 3 soundtrack, I was prepped for something unusual like it was. I then smacked myself for not being fair and being a complete snob and listened to it a couple more times. I still say it's not unique in its sound by any stretch, but there are some wonderful tracks hidden within.
