Hamlet (PC-98) (gamerip) (1993)

So, this is a nice album. A lot of good somber, creepy, and tense tracks. However, it never feels droning, which is a trap a lot of other albums fall into. The composer(s) are really good at building suspense and especially in a minimalist fashion (see track 15 for instance, which starts out with two instruments but then adds an extra one at certain intervals to increase the tension). Overall, I'd give it an 8.38/10.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) this is one of those albums with a ton of good tracks, so my recommendations will be a mess:
Better Tracks: 10, 31, 32, 34
Also Good: 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 27, 29, 30, 33

That all aside, were some tracks missing or deleted? The HML numbers and general track numbers usually match up until track 26, which is HML028. It's possible that some tracks were deleted in the game's actual files, perhaps.
