5.0 out of 5 stars As magical as the series itself, July 14, 2000

This review is from: Key the Metal Idol [Original CD Soundtrack] (Audio CD)

Key The Metal Idol is a strange tale, a sort of dark fairy tale that twists and turns so often you end up dizzy with excitement.

The soundtrack is a musical trip through the world of Key, featuring the happy theme of Key to the haunting and meanacingly tunes of battle the soundtrack to Key is something quite special.

Maybe not listenable on a casual level, but certainly one to have in your collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than most, but lacking, March 25, 2003

This review is from: Key the Metal Idol [Original CD Soundtrack] (Audio CD)

As with many anime soundtracks that fall flat on their faces when separated from the anime itself, Key the Metal Idol seems so subtle and so very 'background' music that it nearly evaporates into the background completely.

There are moments during this cd that are emotionally moving, but for most soundtrack fans I think it will leave you somewhat hungry for more.

Except that there isn't any.

Better than most, but clearly not at the same level as the soundtracks from: Cowboy Bebop (all of them), HALO, Mechwarrior-4, Diablo-2, Mononoke, etc.
