Man, I just played through DKC3 for the first time in a long time and the music is really disappointing in places. The final battle is crappy enough without the music being a short, dull loop the whole time and the music over the credits is lame lame LAME as well. The whole game in general frustrates me, what with all the just plain hideous enemies with their big chins and the terrible bosses-- not to mention Kiddy Kong: the beginning of the end of good Kongs. Oy. Unfortunately, most of the levels are really good so I can't just flat-out hate the game.
Anyway, I just needed to vent. I'm glad the album's being made though, because a good number of the original songs just need MORE.
