I have to agree here. Now I prepare myself for the wrath

No, but seriously. The music at the time was wholly appropriate and, as it went on, it became the music that fans grew up with. I started with the Saban score, then went to the Japanese score as I stared watching the show almost entirely in Japanese, and then heard the Faulconer tracks when they first started being released. Honestly, I thought it was a huge change of pace from Shuki Levi's score, and I appreciated it for that. But I quickly came to loath it for being almost entirely synthesized, playing too loudly in several scenes, having utterly inappropriate music playing during several scenes, and worst of all, realized the entire score was playing to the "hard-core" area of the fandom.
When it comes down to it, the original music was orchestral, appropriately used, full of drama and power during the action and light-hearted and charming during the calmer scenes.
Its use of cellos, violins, trumpets, drums, and organs made for a far more organic and personal experience while the dub music makes everything feel less personal and realistic. It's jarring, it's overwrought, and even the good tunes from Faulconer end up overused, often inappropriately.
I've had dubbed-only fans watch the Orange Bricks with the Japanese music on and convert because they find a far more enriching and interesting experience with the original score.
