(I sure do wish this site had a better search engine so I didn't have to scroll and search through 7 pages of threads to find this one. Anyway...)
I found a solution to this problem.
1. Go to www.google.com
2. Type in whatever you are searching for, following by "site:www.filmscoremonthly.com". For example, in this case you'd type "snowpiercer site:www.filmscoremonthly.com"
Voila! The thread you are looking for will be one of the top results.

Listened to this after a few months absence.
It´s even more terrific than I thought before. Definitely one of my Beltrami favorites.

It's a great film. A little Gilliam, a little CUBE, a little bit of that undefinably inspired and twisty tone-switching brilliance that directors in South Korea have been perfecting over the past 15 years or so. I really love it as well, even if there are a few flaws here and there.
I can't agree with you re: Beltrami's score. Aside from that galloping end title, which very effectively lends optimism to what could have otherwise been interpreted as a very bleak ending, it's really just wallpaper throughout and doesn't engage in any special way. This is too bad, because scores that have a real voice in the film has been a pretty consistent boon to these South Korean directors' approach to filmmaking: See OLDBOY, SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE, A TALE OF TWO SISTERS, HOST... All distinct, melodic, expressive and *creative* scores that subvert expectations effectively. This score felt largely unimaginative and by-the-numbers in contrast.
I'm *still* waiting for Beltrami to write something as memorable or genuinely sweeping/gorgeous as his finale cue from MIMIC, "Reunited".

I also don´t think that the "Snowpiercer"-score is mainly wallpaper. Far from it. For me it is highly melodic, full of themes, and captures the atmosphere perfectly.
To each his own.
