In general I would agree but I think there are still some extremely unique and memorable soundtracks out there such as Persona 4, TWEWY, and to a lesser extent Valkyria Chronicles.

Although I'm not sure if this apparent decrease in the quality of soundtracks is real or if it is just perceived because you only remember the best of the best from the past and you are comparing that to music in general of today.

Persona 4 had nothing memorable.  Valkyria had very nice music, but nothing memorable.

I will say that Disgaea 3's OST is a step down from Disgaea 1 and 2.  Although, I am heavily biased as I consider Sinful Rose to be one of the best songs to ever come out of the Disgaea series.  It's pretty amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkJB2TrIeG4

It's fine if you don't think Persona 4 had memorable music, but I do and I love having it in the background while I play skate 2, I can tell you specifically where each song is from while I listen to it as well.

So you're telling me that after listening to a soundtrack over and over that you remember the music?  

And that's why I specified that I remember where each song is from in the game.  If the only reason I rememberred the songs in general was because I listen to them alot (which could easily be said for songs people remember from older games), then I would just remember the songs and not what dungeon they are from.  Obviously I remember them from the game and not just from listening to them as background music.
