Least Favourite Tracks

[MoNoChrome]

Because worst tracks is such an abstract idea.

We all know that the Silent Hill series is a masterclass in aural stimulation, having the ability to unsettle the player to the bone.

Unfortunately, not all tracks can be 24 carat gold and Yamaoka is probably no different. I'll just say it: I hate some of his work!

So which of his tracks make you feel disappointed/confused/annoyed? Whyare these notes the bum ones? And will there be any concensus?
(Vocals should probably be left to one side as I'd like to hear what people have to say about the actual music.)

To start off, one track from each game:

SH1 - I'll Kill You - struck me as a somewhat generic combat theme.
SH2 - Angels Thanatos - sounded like a demo track for a teenage heavy/death metal band.
SH3 - Heads#2 - spooky,yes, but not the most original track is it?
SH4 - Underground Dawn EEE Mix/Remoddeling - EEE just cant help thinking of an ice cream truck. If remixes dont count then Remoddeling, purely because it annoys the hell outta me.
SHO - Theme of Sabre Dance - another ice cream truck, only this one's in space and doesnt sound quite so broken.
SHH - Who Knows - this one's just a pure wreck for me, the final straw being the instrument that sounds like a mosquito.

So when does the mob turn up at my door and should I dress for the occassion?

A brave topic, but interesting. Good job.

I've got a few, but I'll start with this one:

I don't even remember the name of the particular piece from SH1, but I'm pretty sure you hear it in the sewers (it's been a long time). The thing sounds like someone repeatedly trying to suck pudding through a straw set to the distant rumble of an off-balance washing machine. Very strange composition amidst a mostly wonderful package.

Exactly. I don't see how it fits in at all.

I'm sure there's more, but I'm empty at the moment. I'll check back later.

I hate the title music of SH4, the out of tune banjo piece
