All albums added. I don't think I'll need to rely on my backlog much longer at this point, because...

Goddamn. I see that you're really into anime (and film) soundtracks - and there are some in that list that I've been planning to listen to for a while but I forgot about them. The ones I've bolded are ones I've already listened to.
Fairy Tail's first original soundtrack is pretty good. Filled with energy as a whole, though some tracks are weaker than the rest. I don't remember much from that soundtrack though, it's been a long time since I've listened to it. I do remember the main theme being amazing though, easily my favourite track in the entire OST. I gave it a 7/10, but it's probably more towards 7.5/10.
Tsubasa Chronicle's first soundtrack is decent, but I feel that it's pretty expected of Yuki Kajiura. The only track that stood out to me is A Song of Storm and Fire, but the rest feels rather unmemorable. I do prefer the third soundtrack more than the rest of the soundtracks, but overall I don't think the anime's overall soundtrack is lackluster as a whole. Madoka's soundtrack is better, I feel. 6/10 is what I rated Tsubasa Chronicle's first OST.
Somnium... is an album that I can't really rate accurately. It is indeed beautiful, but it's absurdly long. As much as I don't mind long tracks (Most of Basinski's loops come to mind), 7 hours worth of ambient is just too much for me to fully enjoy. I know that it's supposed to be used for sleep, but there are many other albums that induce a far better sleep than Somnium does. Maybe if the album was split into 3 different albums, I'd give 8/10 or higher for each part. As it is, 7.5/10 sounds fine.
You can pick one of the albums in the "rest" section and I can put that in the shortlist instead.
