Is Bayonetta 2's Tomorrow Is Mine the best battle theme ever?

Listening to the Bayonetta 2 soundtrack on youtube, the battle theme is one of the best songs on the soundtrack it seems. A lot of the songs blend in together, the "epic" or loud, clashing songs do absolutely nothing for me. Of course playing the game and hearing the intended songs IS how the songs should be criticized.

But man, so many songs with booming vocals and bangs. This is probably my favorite track besides the battle theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtZ8HYIaqhM.
 
It's catchy and quite punchy and sassy... a good fit for the game.

And wow... I had no idea Moon River was in the game, sounds fantastic!.

I found MGR's pop-rock themes a bit too generic but they did fit very well with the action. MGR's kind of music wouldn't fit well with Bayonetta 2 imo.

"Let's Dance Boys!" is my favourite track from the first Bayonetta, secretly the theme of bayonetta, imo.
 
Ahh, it's another one of those threads about somethings that's just released and therefore must be the bestest ever.
I swear one of these shows up every day these days.

The music in Bayo 2 sounded great from the demo, but the best battle theme ever? You know there are a lot of great battle themes out there, a lot.

Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHVrMl2R2gU
 
So far I prefer Bayonetta's OST much more than Bayonetta 2. I just don't care much for the direction they took with the vocals. Certainly not a deal breaker, but not really what I wanted.
 
The warship/Deko Stage 6 track in Star Successor, to this day, is still my favorite fight music. An unapologetic love letter to the N64/PS1 midi soundtracks of yore, while still being the baddest shit you've ever heard.

I didn't expect to see this posted in this thread. My favourite track from the game as well

What is up with people spoiling themselves listening to the OST before playing the game, anyway? Sounds weird to me.

Edit: Yeah, I'm a moron, forgot about the demo.
 
Fly Me to The Moon > Mysterious Destiny >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tomorrow Is Mine
 
No, the singer's sprechstimme makes her sound way to much like kesha. Which just straight up ruins the song for me. She sounds perfectly fine in moon river though
 
I'm not sure it is the best. I absolutely love it, though. I kind of like it more than I like Fly me to the Moon. And I love Fly Me to the Moon. It is more upbeat and uplifting.

And Platinum Games has been completely slaying when it comes to soundtracks. TW101 was also amazing.
 
One of the best for sure. Between Metal Gear Rising, the Bayonetta series, and The Wonderful 101, Platinum certainly has a lock on best action game music of all time.

Star Wars and Lord of the Rings would be hugely diminished without their brilliant scores, and it's just the same with Platinum's games. MGR's music in particular still astounds me. I have no idea how Platinum came up with such an exceptional collection of boss and battle themes.
 
So, it turns out I can't stop playing the demo. The game is absolutely amazing, of course, but this song is what seals the deal. As soon as the action starts, your ears get awarded with this beauty.

An absolute beauty.

Precisely how I felt when the original Bayonetta released. Seriously, I played the original demo for about 20 hours. It sold the game to me after about a minute.

There is definitely something to be said for a high quality demo. Might have to get a WiiU...

Although, I still think I prefer the original music... Sorry.
