As a huge fan of Land of the Lustrous OST specifically, it's so odd to see someone feel it was the one low point.

I thought the subdued orchestral style with a focus on charachter themes was brilliant.

I regularly listen to tracks like Shinsha (Cinnabar) and Awakening Power.

The main notes of the main theme are seared into my head. Same for the flute melody used for Phos.

I love the use of the charachter themes, because the OST delivers on them by mixing them later to create powerfully evocative tracks to accompany charachter beats.

The full OST is something I'd pay hundreds of euros to hear on live orchestral instruments.
