Blaster Master for the NES is a great game, but...

The first five levels of the game are fantastic, unique, and fun. The level design is beautiful and the music is captivating. I don't know what it is, but levels 6, 7, and 8 just felt quickly thrown together with more linear level design, simpler graphics, and repeated music. Does anyone else think that or is it just me?
