Is it as good as the other (main game) soundtrack? No. Is it still good? Yes. I am blown away by just how period accurate the 1930s dixieland-big band sounds. Much like how the game itself is a love letter to 1930s cartoons and shoot ‘em up games of old, the music sounds as if the composer has a strong love for the styles he is composing in.

Fine. The characters are well designed and by showing the characters you get a good understanding that this is the music for Cuphead.

I am struck by how much this sounds like a soundtrack. Like I can imagine this music in the background while I stack something or fold laundry with trumpet blasts accentuating dropping something or me tripping…. Certainly pleasant, certainly performed by skilled musicians, certainly technical, but not really my thing.

The cover art is pleasant. I am curious as to why they chose only 3 colours - white, black and seafoam. 3 colours for 3 characters?
