Let me first be clear and say I ordered this not more than 20% through the game, so my expectations outweighed my knowledge of the tracks.
MHT has an incredible theme. It's an epic, cinematic motif that recurs here and again, and it's truthfully the driving reason I looked this album up. What I didn't realize until listening to the whole score, however, was how infrequently it's used.
The other tracks have a distinctive period/ethnic feel that may be tricky for some listeners to appreciate (though I presume anyone buying will already be somewhat open to the style). Many songs are nice to serve as background while you work, but others may be too distracting outside of the game. Tracks range from rich and flowing to moody and subtle. I'd consider likening it to the period soundtrack for Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, though FF:CC has a mostly lyrical quality and MHT's multiple composers give the disc several varying flavors. Take that as you will -- an asset or detriment.
Overall, it's a complete and suitable soundtrack for monster-slaying. I do, however, remain bitter that so few tracks embrace the majestic, symphonic nature of the game's most prominent theme.

I have played the game since the first one out. I don't like the Wii platform or graphics. The game play remained true to its origin, which is a pro by my determination. The new gunning system is a major pro, but the entire system regarding elemental inflictions caused a lot of things to be nerfed including bow guns in general. The new underwater playing is well designed, except for auto adjustments of the camera while submerged. I did not like this game as much as its predecessors, but I enjoyed playing it as a fan. I found less freedom in designing custom armor and weapon combinations to get somewhere equivalent to just following there predesigned setups; this is a major con for me. It represents inability to game balance with open options for player customization. They either favored some, or simply did a mediocre job of satisfying players that enjoy customization.

People keep getting confused. In Monster Hunter theres 2 different versions of one game, the normal, and the "G" or "Ultimate" edition. This is the soundtract of the normal version. No Dire Miralis, no Brachydios. Please take consideratiom before you buy. Otherwise, this is a great product for all Monster Hunter fans to enjoy

This is a 2 disk set containing virtually all of the music from Monster Hunter Tri on the Nintendo Wii. This is also an English release of the soundtrack, so you won't have to worry about not being able to understand Japanese to see the track listings.
There are two tracks that were on the Japanese release that didn't make it to the English release. The theme of the Mini Uragaan is absent, as is Alatreon's theme, both of which were listed as bonus tracks on the original release. I'm a bit disappointed in their absence in the English release, but that's still 52 total music tracks.

There's a lot of music here, some that I don't even recognize because it's from the very end game. Definitely worth the money. There are some translation typos in the booklet if that kind of thing matters to you. A lot of the tracks are very memorable and will have you reliving your efforts to fight particular monsters from the game.

Good but also an incomplete soundtrack. No late game monster themes, and no misty eastern mountains battle theme, one of the best themes in the game.

Incredible soundtrack. The instrumentation and composition feel right at home with the environments they accompany in the game.

Brilliant soundtrack. The songs fit the atmosphere of the game perfectly, and vary widely based on locations in the game. From tribal-esque music like The Ship Has Arrived, to Spanish-style music like Cazador El Monstruo, to epic orchestral tracks like The Subzero White Knight. The 2-disk soundtrack for this game really has an amazing variety of styles, and great compositions. It's amazing how a 20 second orchestral clip can set the tone of a hunting environment so well, as it does in Sea of Fertility. I think this is the best Monster Hunter Soundtrack so far, even compared to the newer Monster Hunter 4. The variety and polish in the tracks makes it so great.

Monster Hunter 3 OST = Pure amazing!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 12, 2013
I love the Monster Hunter series and have played nearly every game that has been released (aside from Frontier, as it is Japan only...). But something that really does add to the games is the soundtrack, and being able to actually obtain one has made my day.
If you're a lover of the franchise and the music within (The tundra battle music vs. Barioth/Gigginox is by far the best in my opinion), then you should grab yourself a copy of this soundtrack.
Even if you haven't played the game(s), this still contains some amazing pieces of composed music you will hear outside of Classical albums.
