User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: 3rd Generation Soundtrack/@comment-3062343-20121001042636

I'd say that overall, 3rd Gen probably has my favourite soundtrack of the series. Area themes: Favourite: Tundra. As someone said below, it fits Gigginox particularly well, and it probably helps that the Tundra is my favourite of the 3rd Gen areas. Least favourite: Tough choice, but I'm going to go with the Deserted Island. I still like it, but the trumpets can get kind of grating on the ears, particularly when wearing headphones. It also sounds a little too over the top when fighting something like Qurupeco or Royal Ludroth. Monster themes: Favourite: There seem to be fewer monsters with a unique theme in 3rd Gen, but I guess my favourite is probably Guran's. Least favourite: Jinouga's, definitely. The only theme I can think of in 3rd Gen's soundtrack that I actually dislike. Which is a shame, since I really enjoy fighting Jinouga.
