Limited quadruple vinyl LP pressing. Essential Edition featuring track listing curated by Atlus Sound Team, including P5's most popular music. Persona 5 is a massive and epic opus of a game - the kind of 100-hour-plus JRPG journey that it is impossible to peel away from. The soundtrack is equally epic, featuring hours of jazzy, poppy, energetic musical magic that you'll find yourself unconsciously whistling throughout the day. From upbeat vocally-driven songs (many featuring the incomparable throaty gusto of Japanese soul singer, Lyn Inaizumi) to more contemplative, instrumental riffs - it's an impressive ensemble of tunes. Quite simply, Persona 5 is one of our favorite videogame soundtracks to date.

Great album! Buy it for $1 from the Chromatics' label site.
More to say, but just to start out: MP3/WAV shoppers can pick up top-quality digital versions of this and almost all IDIB releases for $1 at their website. Actual CDs are $3, which makes them cheaper than itunes. Amazon, etc.; plus, you get a cool CD. Not rocket scientry! Great way to directly support the artists.Anyhow—this is a classic/transitional release from this singular band, catching them as they were tackling the challenging task of fundamentally revising their sound, from the ground up. Not as exceptional/wonderful as the material that followed, but well worth picking up.
