(Note: Someone took offense at my low rating of Rei's FMTTMs and told me to wear a hearing aid. So I did. After listening to Rei's FMTTMs with the hearing aid on, I decided to downgrade all of her FMTTMs. They sound pretty bad regardless of my hearing!)

While this CD is not as great as the first OST, it is still pretty good. Track 1 is a great image track by Yoko Takahashi. The studio mixing of track 2 (the TV size OP) is a letdown; its waaaaaay too soft. Tracks 3 and 4 are decent. Unfortunately, tracks 5 and track 6 sucks goose-eggs. However, do not skip track 7! It's one of the best background pieces of the whole TV series (and you've gotta see the scene choreographed to the track- it's absolutely fabulous!). And the tracks after track 7 are quite good; notably tracks 13, 14, 16 and 17.
