AGNIS (Yukazu) Ys IX OST Review

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/customer-reviews/RGVMEHX5IGUD5/
Yukazu writes very politely in Japanese, so it's best to assume everything written here is written with politeness in mind. Also Yukazu's Japanese is stylish, which makes it harder to write in English without accidentally making him sound like a jerk. lol -ED
Also, I'm not a professional translator, so there may be some awkward writing. -ED

Ys 8 had an island setting which meant that its songs had a bright, wild vibe. Ys IX however has a prison city setting so the songs have a slightly darker and more somber tone.
Despite the above the soundtrack maintains a stylish and energetic feel without being overburdened by the feel of darkness. As expected from Falcom.
Songs that make up the best parts of the soundtrack include "Monstrum Spectrum", "Wild Card", "Desert After Tears", "In Profile, On Belfry", "New Life", "Dandelion's Journey", "Aprilis", "Heart Beat Shaker", "Glessing Way!", "Cloaca Maximua", "Strategic Zone", "Il Etait Une Fois", "Tranquil Silence", "Prison of Balduq", and "Anima Ergastulum". I've listened to these tracks more times than I can count ♪.
"Desert After Tears" is THE BEST! It is a song that plays the same role as "Sunshine Coastline". It's a song that made me cry with its elegant, somber feel.
"Monstrum Spectrum", "Wild Card", and "Cloaca Maxima" are overwhelmingly electrifying. That's the good stuff right here! Falcom and Ys tunes are simply the best, wouldn't you agree?
Despite my love of the powerful tracks in Ys IX, I also liked calmly listening to slower tempo songs like "Prison of Balduq -Yearning-", "Aprilis", and "New Life". It's impossible to listen to "Dandelion's Journey" playing during the ending without being moved to tears... a truly wonderful song.

Despite all these wonderful tunes... there exists a portion of the soundtrack where the quality is lacking and some absolutely awful songs lurk within.
How did songs like "Welcome to Chaos", "Feel Force", "Troublemaker", "Marionette, Marionette", "Judgment Time", "Knock on NOX" end up in the soundtrack of Ys IX?
An assault on the senses. Painful to the ears. Overdone drumming. Low quality sounds. Meager, lacking melodies. Dearth of structure. Bad taste in composition. With all these in consideration, I just want to plug my ears every time I hear them.
These poor songs seem to exist with complete incompatibility with the good songs I mentioned earlier. In other words, these songs at their core don't sound like Falcom and Ys songs. In addition there are other odd sounding songs that pop up here and there during battles.
This was mentioned in a CS4 review, but perhaps this is due to outsourcing? The songs said reviewer brought up have a similar feel, especially the battle songs and the songs with vocals.

If you look at the ending credits, the people currently contributing to the soundtrack include Hayato Sonoda, Takahiro Unisuga (the two are grouped together), Yukihiro Jindo, and Mitsuo Singa. There is a clear visual divide between Falcom's jdk staff and outsourced contractors.
If you're a fan of Falcom music, you are very likely familiar with Jindo's reliable quality. No need to worry there. Thus, the only person who could be causing this problem is...
To be frank, now that this contractor is contributing to soundtracks, I want to hear high quality songs from them. All I hear from these outsourced songs is self-serving attempts to steal the limelight. There seems to be little awareness that these soundtracks are a group effort. It's horrible that Falcom soundtrack quality is declining just because one person can't "read the room".
