Everybody refers to that one, so I assume it most be good in its own way, but nothing compares to playing it yourself. Just listen to this for a minute to get a taste of the soundtrack, and that's Chapter 1 music. It makes you uneasy after a while.
And that's before you get to the casual genocide, incest, cannibalism, pedophilia, child murder, necrophilia, the cannibalistic pedophilic necrophile character herself. It just bombards your senses to hear this, to play through some levels murdering giant babies trying to eat you, then play a rhythm game to throw a giant woman through space time into Tokyo so that Japanese Fighter Jets can shoot you down.
I'm more partial to the Queen Beast song myself because it encapsulates the entire game, where it starts a little fucked then slowly becomes more unnerving as it progresses until its closer to a cacophony by the end.
Or maybe I still have attachment PTSD from weeks spent trying to perfect that rhythm to beat that bitch. I didn't even try with Drakengard 3's final boss out of traumatic memory from it.
Solid pick. I guess I just like the skipping samples in the other tracks more. The human brain is really disturbed by sounds that skip and cut off suddenly, so I'm impressed they could capture that feeling of wrongness while still making something recognizable as music.
If I recall most of the music was random Classical music they just cut into bites, and then played them in strange orders, while also using strange time keys (I know nothing of music theory but there are a few that are inherently off).
Which really adds to the wrongness. There is an amazing musical track in there we probably recognize, but its now distorted.
Its the same with the Queen Beast song, which is just a single underlying piece with the Black and White sounds overlapping and playing in random orders over and over to make what might be music.

You don't have to sell me on Drakengard's soundtrack. Where else are you going to get a song that perfectly encapsulates the sound of reality itself breaking down due to the end of the world?

I. Hear. A. Sound.
