I own this CD, and I really love it. It contains the background music (only two have vocals, but they aren't the complete songs, only the shorter version used in the series) for the original japanese version of the second animated series of Yu-Gi-Oh! (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters). Contains most of the BGM from the Battle City episodes, I think. Unlike in the english dub, the original BGM is really nice and actually matches the occasion (if you haven't noticed it, then you have to pay more attention!)
This CD is really great for any collection, and really enjoyable. I don't regret buying it.
(psst..you might want to check other stores first! and the title for this cd is Sound Duel, not Duel Monsters!)

First off, I want to make this clear. THIS IS NOT THE OST. This is Sound Duel 1

As you can see, you get many songs, and many of them are wonderful. Go ahead, buy it, but if you look hard enough, you can get it, the two OSTs, and the other two Sound Duels for free over the internet.

Ne~! When I first started watching YGO I really didn't like the dubbed music. I thought it was pretty bad and very American (no offense). So naturally I blamed the dubbers. Especially after I started listening to the foreign tracks, I find that the original music has more emotion and feeling in it in comparison to the dubbed addition. I'd recomend this to anyone, but in my opinion, since it's kinda pricy download the songs separatly and burn them onto a disk or something.

If you've ever seen the original Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh, then you will most definately love this music. The background music is intense in the show, and even more intense when you listen to it on CD. HIGHLY recommended.
