These comments made me listen to the first hour of the OST on youtube. I liked the underwater version of one song and the boss song (even though it drug on about 90 seconds too long).

This is one of my favorite tracks of all time. It's also an underwater track, it's just so awesome. Shits all over the other games in that category.

And this is the first track that plays when you get back to your (frozen) island:

So epic.

I'm glad you like it so much, but keep in mind how subjective music is.

At the same time if we look on the objective side of things, what should soundtracks being nominated for? Variety? Catchiness of the songs? Rightful use of them? Should they be praised for their versatility, their influence? Their emotional power? We can both agree about the fact that the soundtrack of DKCTF answers positively to all those questions, as much as those nominated in the category. Who could say otherwise? If it gathers so much appreciation among the players and the critics, why has it been put away from that category? Why doesn't it fit in? Because it was released earlier this year? If a lot of people agree on the quality of Tropical Freeze's soundtrack, hence the majority, therefore it means probably it is regarded as a great soundtrack.

Then, why the criminal omission? I've played Destiny and Child of Light, of course the music is beautiful. Maybe DK should not win, but being nominated was the least of the things. I feel like this list will be updated sooner rather than later.
