It's worth pointing out too, as you mentioned the number of tracks, that at least one from the ride itself is not included on the CD (Annoyingly my favourite part too!), which plays on the turnaround before the final drop. It's only a very short piece, which may explain why it's not on the disc, but even so
On the whole hype front, I do have to agree that I think IMA's name gets thrown around and worshiped far too much. Yes, they have produced some brilliant pieces of music, and fair play to them for getting to where they have in a relatively short space of time, but I don't think that they are necessarily the be all and end all. Just because a ride has IMAScore audio doesn't instantly make me want to fall in love with the park or product.
Each product is different, and I think that it very much boils down to what the client asks for. Attractions such as Europa, Disney, and co. all have exceptionally high standards, and therefore will settle for nothing but the best. Other parks however, may be more forgiving and laid back in what they require. If the client doesn't push for quality then they aren't going to necessarily get it.
As I say, they have produced some fantastic work, and I would never deny I enjoy it, but I don't agree with the opinion a few seem to take that any project they undertake will be amazing, and the best in it's class.
I'd like to leave this abomination here, as I leave (Check out the English version if you thought that was bad!)

Oh, and if anyone was wondering, my favourite soundtracks are Danny Elfman's Mystic Manor, and Steve Bramson's De la Terre a la Lune score
