It just doesnt have the same oomph and isnt nearly as punchy or impactful.
Worst examples Ive heard so far are the item fanfare, Mysterious Forest, and Boss Theme. The overworld theme seems to be missing the entire second half too.
Tail Cave isnt bad though. I like it but man the other songs are kinda bumming me out and Im not getting any nostalgia from them so far.

Ew I hate the panic music when BowWow gets kidnapped, and Bottle Grotto is alright but I dont like how they redid the low part in the second half.

I think it's a bit of a mix but generally I like most of its remixes. They did a good job of taking songs that are sometimes only ~15 seconds long and making them sound less repetitive. Like Mabe Village for example.

Face Shrine's remix is stirring and wistfully evocative.

Really? I love it, it sounds so menacing and intense. The original song also becomes suddenly menacing and intense, I think they did well catching it.

But I agree with you about some songs like the song when Bow wow is captured, it sounds like farts.

Its :45 seconds long and I thought it was missing the bit from :31-:45 that starts with the flourish but its there, just doesnt have the same grand feeling in the remake so I didnt notice it. And its not that I think the remake music is necessarily bad, its just me being picky about music but it just doesnt feel the same. It just doesnt trigger the nostalgia that I normally feel with music from games I loved as a kid.

eh, I can see your point

I like the remake's music but I also think it's too low-key in spots and not easy to hear over the effects

Thats pretty much my main criticisms so far, that its just too soft most of the time. Though I think the dungeon themes are quite good so far, except not sure how I feel about Anglers Tunnel, not that the original was anything special, just the ambient parts sound kinda weird to me in the remake. And holy hell Face Shrine is phenomenal, like beyond great and really hit me with the nostalgia.

Id also like to say that I was being a bit over dramatic in the title. I dont dislike any of the music, in fact I do like most of it, except the Panic music and Animal Village, just not feeling most of it the same. Its just a personal minor criticism and I am enjoying the game so far (aside from the blasted frame drops)

I think the Animal Village theme is hilarious, but can also see how it can be grating on some

And to be fair, I never stayed there for more than a few minutes...
