“The music has good variety, and I never found it obnoxious sounding unless I was dozens of tries deep :p”
“Rhythm Journey is an amazing game with an extremely good official soundtrack.”
“The songs kick ass and it's easy enough to tune out the lyrics.”
“The music is mediocre but good enough, especially with the snare kick giving you the feels of the rhythm.”
“Minor gripe: the music itself is solid enough, but those vocals are quite distracting.”
“I don't like the four-wall thing because it doesn't seem to match the music in any kind of way; it's purely visual, and in my mind, the ideal rhythm game experience is based on listening to the music more than looking at the screen.”
