The vocal tracks all get instrumental versions too, which is a nice touch. ARE YOU HAPPY and BEAST CALLING both work stripped down. That title track though. "If the Hero Somehow Slaughters the Dragon in Love, is the Story Finished" is maybe the most visual novel song name ever committed to disc.
And it goes hard. If you want a soundtrack that feels like it was made by people who had way too much fun in the studio, this one delivers.
