On first viewing, I didn't notice as much interesting music/soundscapes as Gone Girl has. A good deal of "dread hum," although there is one pounding cue that made me sit up and take notice: it occurs when one of the characters makes a miraculous escape.
Very good Z-style film. I will certainly be revisiting it in the future and will then see whether or not more of R&R's score stands out.

So I've listened to the commercial album. I found it much like the commercial album for Dragon Tattoo, an extremely different experience from the score as heard in the film. The commercial album leaves off many of the best cues and mixes others together, seemingly out of film order. Even the cues that are included are completely different versions in some cases.
Luckily, I was able to get the 2-disc Golden Globes FYC album. It appears to be the complete score, in film order. It has 33 tracks listed on the packaging, but only 32 tracks on the actual discs. It does not include the listed "End Crawl" as the final track. It comes in a cardboard sleeve.
Be aware, a new FYC has been issued for the Oscars, which is identical to the shorter download-only commercial album. It has only 12 tracks and comes in a jewel case.

5 years on - and rewatched this tonight; and yes, Reznor & Ross' score is much better than the average "dread hum" styling.
By the way, by "Z-style" I am referring to the 1969 documentary-styled drama film Z, not a "Z-grade" movie!
