"Too Optimistic" is basically Annie's whole personality in one track. "Disappointed Elegy" and "Useless Tune" are so self-aware it's funny. The sound hardware limits everything to these bright compressed tones but Gust made that work in their favor.
"Excentric Lollipop" and "Hohehoheho" exist on this soundtrack. That alone should tell you what kind of ride you're in for. Great for anyone who thinks DS soundtracks peaked early.
