Assuming those who are looking at this are fans of the Monogatari series or know someone who is, so I'll skip the part of the review where I rant about the show.
I will start with the product itself. Two CD's in one case that is the same size as a CD case that contains a single CD. (This is a Japanese product so the writing is probably 97% kana/kanji, 3% English) The CD's have a combined 69 songs which the Amazon music player on my phone says is 2 hours and 31 minutes long. The little booklet that comes inside the case has a list of the track names with their respective number on each CD. It also contains the lyrics (yes, it is in Japanese) for the opening songs for each story arc. These songs are sung by the respective voice actor for each character. For clarification: the first song, staple staple, is sung by the voice actor for Senjyougahara Hitagi; Third song, ambivalent world, sung by the voice actor for Suruga Kanbaru. That's about it. Very impressed with what I got, very happy with the content. Worth every penny.
A WORD OF WARNING: Because this is the soundtrack for the monogatari series, it has the music FROM the series. Which means every one of these songs, with the exception of the opening songs and the ending song, were played with there was either a monologue or dialog going on. The music itself is quite simple, because for the most part it's BACKGROUND music. And really good background music at that.
Post script. Please excuse any and all misspellings. Thank you.

Love it. 恋愛サーキュレーション (Love Circulation) was the main reason I bought this, but the Monogatari series has some of the most memorable music in all of anime.
This is a two-CD import from Japan, with music from Bakemonogatari, arguably the best of the two seasons released so far. It has 56 tracks, and runs just over two hours. The best part about it is that it has all of the OP/ED songs: Staple Stable, Wonderful Day, Maoi Snail, Surugu Mokey, etc. Usually, you don't get this music on a sound track CD because of licensing issues, so I'm glad they were able to get those sorted out. These tracks all run around four minutes, and if you liked them in the series you'll like them here.
A second category are the tracks that form something of a leitmotif for the various characters. Most memorable, of course, are the various guitar / piano / harmonica blues backgrounds to Arararage's encounters with Oshino Meme.
Third, we have a few additional renditions of the OP/ED music, but on different instruments. If you've ever wondered how Nadeko Snake would sound on a music box, here's your chance. Also in this category is the unforgettable piano rendition of Staple Stable that always seems to make its way softly into the more romantic moments. This alone makes the album purchase worth it.
The final category is what I'd call incidental music: simple tunes that form an aural backdrop to one scene or another, and useful most for recalling those scenes. The music isn't designed to stand on its own. Most run about a minute and half, are childishly simple, and repetitive. The last track on the second disk, for example could be mapped as something like:
with each letter representing an identical six-second/ 12-note sequence.
If you then replace those instruments with various combinations of tubular bells, marimbas, autoharps, pianos, drums, or their electronic equivalents, you get the pattern for about two thirds of the music on the discs. Nice tracks to build ringtones and time alarms with on your cell phone. Nice background to other things. No thought required.
Conclusion: I like it. I'm glad I bought it. I'm not sure it's worth buying if you're not a Monogatari fan. Even the Staple Stable piano cover gains most of its value through its romantic associations.
