The album opens with a series of fanfares. While acceptable in-game and quite catchy, they reveal right away the biggest problem of the score. Even when looped, the tracks tend to be very short, ranging from 20 to 90 seconds. This adds up to a mere 20:16 playtime altogether. Furthermore, most of the tracks feature voice-overs. The main theme "If the Sky is Burnin' Out" reflects the rock-based approach to the score. Kazuhiro Nakamura adopts a straightforward approach of using a few rhythm guitar power chords and adding a few keyboard chord progressions to create an illusion of substance.
