The extended soundtrack with 3 extra tracks is now streaming in any country where it's already Friday

But still not available for purchase? Fuck that noise


The lossless download will apparently be available to purchase at Qobuz tomorrow.

$26.89 for a download? That's steep.

I guess it's all a supply chain thing. The cost of everything is going up, especially oil to transport stuff.

The only other explanation would be rapacious greed using the excuse of inflation, but that couldn't possibly be it. Could it?

Finally saw the fim yesterday. Loved it and loved the score. Was primed to buy this (as a download) at $15-$19.
At $27 I'll just throw a middle finger salute in Disney's direction and live without it for now.

That's fairly standard for hi res downloads. I'm not confident the promised improvement in quality is audible or worth it. On Friday it will be cheaper on iTunes and Amazon Music for sure.

I get that the score is a good one by Elfman but I'm amused by how much anxiety has been expressed on this thread about it. It's only been three weeks - I remember waiting MONTHS for soundtracks to hit retailers for big films with major composers and without any supply-chain issues to blame.

They are not offering it in hi-res. That is the standard 16/44.

It may not be as outrageous as Disney charging $12 for 7 minutes of a WanaVision ep score, but it's still wildly excessive.

By comparison, Water Tower's 36 minute longer The Batman score is $14.40 for CD quality, and $16.60 for Hi-res.

I actually greatly appreciate seeing KeV McG accuse the director of The Evil Dead and Darkman of "assaulting sense with an endless barrage of FX." Means he hasn't lost his touch. I loved the movie but I don't think it is Raimi's best (by a longshot). I think it is entirely a Sam Raimi movie, however. There's a twinkling of that MCU overabundance we've basically asked for over the past decade (yes, I blame the audience), but the moments of subverting that content had me gleeful.

Now it's coming up as unavailable for download (again) on Qobuz.

This is the worst film I've seen by Sam Raimi (and yes, I've seen SPIDERMAN 3) wink
Apart from one or two of his typical flourishes, it gives credence to the claim by all those 'other' directors about the generic, conveyer belt line of Marvel Superhero films and how they are (mass) produced.
For the most part, I couldn't have told you if it was even directed by a human, such was the endless barrage of CGI FX that assaulted my senses.
It was like sitting and observing someone playing a computer game for 2 hours, with barely any logic or coherence.
Even Elfman's score battered the senses, which is pitched at 11 from the start and pretty much stays there for the duration (admittedly there are some great moments scattered within the score and I did love most of the sad/emotional moments...plus I really liked the 'musical notes' battle near the end).
When the ending FINALLY!! rolls around, I was left incredulous by its outcome.
IS THAT IT?? I thought, as it rendered the previous 2 hours completely pointless.
It literally is one of those 'Oh, alright then' finales that beggars belief.
Of course, none of this matters one jot, as these films make millions/billions regardless.
And I was onboard with their previous 20+ film series that culminated with the double AVENGERS battle/outcome, so I'm not some comic book/Marvel hater.
Now, I just feel they're going around in circles, dropping some lame cameos in that (hopefully) sends the audience berserk.
My future watching this series is on very thin ice.


Plus 1 on all these sentiments

Score is up on ITunes and I assume other digital download platforms

I think that the inclusion of "Wanda at Home" would have made my first listen (pre watch) more enjoyable as it nicely connects with "They'll Be Loved" but I am so happy this is finally up for download. Absolutely love this score, easily my favourite score of his in so long. Hoping for a recording sessions leak at some point, with the drums from the Kamar Taj scene.

The sequencing for the original release was quite odd, but worked when you listen through. The inclusion of The Illuminati and Wanda at Home as the final 2 tracks kind of ruins this though. Weird since Illuminati vs Wanda is placed in the middle of the OST. Sequencing in order shouldn't be too hard as the titles are fairly on the nose.

Does anyone know how those other 2 tracks should be inserted into the main program?

1:50 of Illuminati was what I was waiting for, sounds great!

Not on iTunes. I expect Disney strategy with downloads, for this movie at least, is they will release the downloads, the weekend this movie comes out which I’m assuming is Memorial Day weekend. The part of the strategy that’s bizarre is it’s available on streaming and at high-end lossless sites. It’s just doesn’t make sense

OK. The original listing I bookmarked on Qobuz had only 32 tracks and was the one priced just under $27. It's no longer available for download.

However, there is another listing for this, under Elfman, that has the full 35 tracks, is available now, and is priced at $18.09.

No hi-res option, but I can hang with CD quality. Still on the high side, but a lot more palatable.

35 tracks available for download on iTunes for 11.99

Exactly as we were told it would be, and for a lot less than the Qobuz hi res price. No surprises here. Enjoy!
