I listened to the main "song" and I have to admit I shuddered...
IMHO I think Nobou Uematsu is unbeatable in the FF series, but then I can see that his often simple style might not work too well against their "MOST ADVANCED FF GAME SO FAR OMG!!" scheme.

Saying that, I haven't heard any of the actual soundtrack, just "My Hands", so maybe I'm not giving it a chance. ;)

EDIT: I've never heard the Axelay soundtrack but I've listened to remixes and enjoyed them.

The Axelay track is a mix of sort of urgency
with an overlaid opera choir, tis a goody.
