The Sonic Colors soundtrack is one of those albums that makes it difficult to do our annual OSVOSTOTY awards. It was released on December 22, 2010, barely sliding into 2010 while making it difficult to allow all the staff to give it a listen before nominations and voting occurred. A few of us did listen to the soundtrack before voting, but it would have been ideal for everyone to have had the chance to listen.
Needless to say, I was excited about the Sonic Colors soundtrack after being amazed by the Sonic World Adventure soundtrack in 2009. That soundtrack in particular brought in live performers of many colors, including live rock bands, session players, and even an orchestra. Sonic Colors takes a similar approach, but does it live up to Sonic’s musical legacy?
