After 20 years of pure love for David Arnold's Independence Day (especially the LLL 2-CD set) I think it's safe to say that the new score will go down as this decade's biggest missed opportunity for a new classic. It sounds like Arnold was just waiting to be asked and instead we get pure... meh.
Looking back, I'll lump this instantly forgettable sequel score in with other huge missed opportunities like John Williams not being brought in to write a true sequel score for Superman II, Eric Serra's total misfire in Goldeneye, and the neglecting of Bruce Broughton by major directors and big name projects over the years.

This means someday Lalaland or someone like them can fix with a proper release.

I'll certainly keep an open mind about the score potentially being better as heard in the movie, but it doesn't change the fact that (1) we're stuck with a lame score album for the forseeable future, and (2) David Arnold was not brought back to give us a new epic ID score after 20 years. Grrr.

You can always take the radical step of not listening to a score album that you don't actually like, you know.

Rumor has it that Arnold couldn't be reached because he was hanging out outside EON Productions, waiting for Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson to pass through so he could remind them that he's available to score future Bond movies... you know, just incase they missed all his tweets about it and all the interviews he's given where he's said he totally free.
I'm a fan of Michael Giacchino, but nothing in Jurassic World stands out to me. The same can be said for Don Davis' Jurassic Park 3. Both scores were perfectly functional, but I suppose it's hard to top the brilliance that is John Williams.

I'm sure his regular concert appearances, conducting his 007 scores serve to remind EON much better than your awkward attempts at sarcasm.
