First ten minutes of the movie: http://vk.com/video247089797_168116777
At least it opens with Silvestri's theme!
I don't know why that's such a big deal to me, but nice! I had higher than zero hopes when Tyler used it in Thor 2.

What's all this I hear about contemporary films getting contemporary scores that sound like other scores of the period?
This is an outrage! Why, that's not the history of movie music at all, um, oh wait, yes it is.
nevermind

Okay, I have listened to the whole score now. And my first impression: it´s okay. Nothing special, nothing terrible. Jackman creates some emotional moments and some terrifying soundscapes - they will work for the movie.
I was hoping for more, of course. But the score can be enjoyed nevertheless.
It won´t convert anyone who hates this kind of scoring. But it does not have to.
Oh, and since the two directors of this film will return for part three, the composer seems to be set as well...

Hmm. No stars at all?
That is, IMO, just pure hatred and not a balanced critical assessment.
Of course, everything is subjective and every reviewer has to right to his/her personal opinion. But while I enjoy reading that particular critic´s reviews in general, he just despises the MV sound (with few exceptions).
Let me state again that I adore the Silver Age composers. But I have come around on the contemporary way of film scoring and do find it enjoyable at times. Jackman´s score to "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is one of those that I do like.
Having said that, right now I´m listening to Alexandre Desplat´s "Grand Hotel Budapest". It´s possible to enjoy many things for what they are.

The physical CD is coming from Intrada, Roger has confirmed on their board - no release date announced yet. Now, I know Intrada have pulled miracles out of the hat before, so is it in the realm of possibility that they are releasing the actual score to Cap 2, the one that was actually done by Alan Silvestri?
What are you talking about? As far as I knew Jackman was on board from the start, I don't think Alan was ever attached.

Silvestris theme was in the first 10 minutes of the film that popped up online... Was that not really from the film? Maybe it was just not on the soundtrack...
It's possible - you hear Cap'n A's theme in The Avengers the movie but not on the soundtrack album.
It is on the soundtrack, but damned if I know the track. Maybe the "Assemble" cue, or one of the other cues pertaining to the destruction of a city while a giant laser thing shoots into space and opens a portal of some kind.
