Yeah, but it's still a bop. Soken usually sticks to the tropes, but after fighting things like fairy kings and bug dudes to very... unique boss themes, I think he gets a pass.
(I wonder if it was scored to be a "America" style theme. Would make more sense, lol)
When I try to think of stereotypical "American" music, it's always either this, Trace Adkins, or Earl Scruggs. Soken made the right choice with Bones Malone and The Spooky Boys.
Oof, can you imagine a Trace Adkins style town theme. I can stand that of it music, haha.
Then again, you know Soken must have at least thought about it for the Western areas, complete with Koji Fox doing a fake twangy accent singing about booze, his ride, and those cow analogue things you can ride.
See you just have to find the thing that works for you. For me, I just love the variety and the odd little surprises (most of the stuff you can hear on the OST vol. 1)
And if I don't like it, I just shoot every goddamn speaker and radio in sight. That usually does the trick.

I did feel like the main theme that plays during certain montages had a bit of a 90s feel to it. Probably the use of a choir. Lol

Y-you shut your whore mouth right now! This is one of the jewels of that entire soundtrack.

and who could forget:
"... nowhere to run.... I'll rub your bum.... EVERYTHING BURNS.... EVERYTHING BURNS..."
or
"... cuz it makes me feel better..." x 1000
I will say that I do completely like the "Lift me Up" song. It rewards the general drudgery with intermittent tranquil harmony

I know what drums are and I think the xylophone is a wooden glockenspiel.

Tbh I’m surprised you know what a glockenspiel is but not a xylophone, lol (For the record… it’s pretty much just a bigger glockenspiel, yeah)
