I don't think Oath Sign is a bad song, it's just completely wrong for Fate/Zero. The show needed something hard-edged like Stereopony and instead we got a ballad from a romantic visual novel. Her work on Angel Beats was much better -- Girls Dead Monster was the best part of the series, really -- and though it's too bubblegum for F/Z I think it'd work for SAO. Too bad Jun Maeda isn't a full-time composer for hire.
