I'm sorry, but I'm going to be "that guy", but I'll try not to be a jerk. Before I start let me state that I bought this game both digitally on PS4 and physically from Limited Run to support Koji Igarashi and his teams, and that I understand that a game's soundtrack is usually considered only secondary or tertiary to the actual gameplay.
Flat out I don't like the music in Curse of the Moon 2 (frankly I wish I could turn it off or download an alternate ost as dlc). I'm fighting back saying a lot of mean comments when trying to describe why. I know this can be subjective, but the template of all of the memorable melodies and catchy hooks for CotM 1 and Ritual of the Night are gone. Is this the same series? What happened? [ As a composer myself I understand how challenging making good music can be, but this is a spiritual sequel franchise to a series known for it's amazing music. It's so irritating to me that I'm reminded of Harmony of Dissonance's soundtrack. Maybe it would sound better with real instruments, but did we not learn our lesson from that game's musical mistakes?
Please consider Yoko Shimomura, Motoi Sakuraba, Yuzo Koshiro, Jake "Virt" Kaufman, or hell bring back Kinuyo Yamashita (who hasn't worked on a Castlevania since the very first game)!
