Such a fun and lively score. And it supported the (pretty crap) film enormously.
It's omission from those usual bullsh!t lists (Globes, Oscars etc) in favour of a grating, annoying score like TENET just shows up their usual sheep-like, unremarkable standard.

Why are there 27 tracks?

Because it contains all the pop/rock songs and other music used in the film (like the track from Sunshine and the one from Pompeii).


I can't find the "song" album anywhere, neither on CD or digitally. Is it a YouTube exclusive or something?

This is the most superhero soundtrack I've heard in decades.

So what is the lengthy final track Lost & Found (Bonus)?
Unused (or partially unused) material from the film?

Actually, is more like a concert version of the love theme

What about the epilogue scene music, set on the snowy street in Washington?
That was the music I remembered most from the film that isn't on the CD.


It's not from the score, it's from Pompeii...


damn it ! thank you so much!
I was like "damn this is good but reminds me something..."
Clinton Shorter 's pompeii that's it!

Havent been able to check out Sketches yet. Just finished the movie score and its freaking awesome!!
The emotional cues weren't "all that" imo (but maybe they will grow on me?), but the action stuff? Totally awesome!
Specially enjoyed Open Road and The White House!

I really liked the villain theme (Black Gold). Is this theme represented in the Sketches album?

Yes, there is an extended version called "Life is Good, But It Can Be Better."

I also really like the Barbara Minerva theme that wasn't used in the movie.

Also, "Monkey Paw" is much more interesting than "The Stone" on the original album.

However, there is nothing in the extended sketches that is better than the first 3 cues of the original album, and no intense action like "The White House" or "Radio Waves." The last cue on the extended album called "The Amazon" is the closest representation of Zimmer's Fandome performance with Jenkins and Gadot.

Both the original score and the extended sketches have some fine material. What a great piece of work overall by Zimmer.

Finally heard the sketches. Meh, guess I just don't like demo's. I'll stick with the OST.

"The White House" from the OST can be found in large part on the sketch album in "Apex Predator", and "Radio Waves" from the OST can be found in "In Harm's Way" on the sketch album.

Wow the OST gets better and better from each listen! Was a little let down by the emotional stuff at the first listen. It sounds a bit overproduced and too «big», but they are really growing on me now. Lost and Found is really amazing! There is some very small parts where I can kinda hear hints of both Gladiator and The Pacific in the emotional cues. Anyone knows what I mean?

The Sketches album was ok. Some tracks was very interesting while others were a bit boring to me. But I am sure they will grown on me too.

Overall an amazingly fun and catchy score!

In Harm's Way is mostly "Open Road" to me. "Apex Predator" actually contains the extended villain theme used in "Radio Waves."

But overall, none of the sketches contain really intense sustained action, even though some of cues approach it.

Ah, yes, I got Open Road and Radio Waves mixed up in my mind. I'll have to go listen to the OST again to see if I can find where Radio Waves might be buried in the sketches.

The big horn action riff from The White House (when Cheetah and Wonder Woman are fighting) is smack in the middle of Apex Predator, though.

Technical question...

Reading back in this thread I see there is more people, like me, who feel that some of the cues (to me it's specially "Already Gone" and "The Beauty In What Is") sounds overproduced and badly mixed. I can only hear noise at some point, which is a shame cause they are beautiful tracks. But a pain listening to!

So I wonder, if purchase the 48kHz · 24bit version, will this make it sound better?
Or does it have to do with something else? I have no idea how this works, I just really want those tracks to sound as good as "Lost and Found", lol!

Yes, BUT you must have proper audio system.

I never got around to sort my thoughts about WW84, nor write a review as I had intended, but I wasn't quite as enamoured with it as many of you guys, I'm afraid.

I think it boils down to this:

Everyone says it's a return to his 90s style. That, IMO, is NOT the case (and that particular comment tends to come from younger people who don't really know what Zimmer's 90s stylings were about). Yes, he's more melodic than he's been in a while, but this sounds nothing like his 90s work. Rather, it's his attempt at approximating the 80s orchestral adventure style, something he's never really done before.

That is fun and everything -- and I think the first half of the (overlong) album is really entertaining in that regard -- but it's not the Zimmer I care for and adore. I prefer the more visionary, idiosyncratic stuff that is more 'serious', if you will.

That's why the score ended up only as an 'honourable mention' to me last year, and not in the top 10.

I haven't seen the film yet, and am in no hurry to. I'm not a superhero kind of guy; never really been into that stuff since I was a youngster. But I'll probably get to watch it at some point.

I think it TOTALLY calls back to some of his 90s work, Thor.
After hearing bits of this score within the film (and on Spotify) I was digging out SPIRIT & RADIO FLYER & PRINCE OF EGYPT and also PEARL HARBOUR, as it reminded me of sections from those scores.
And it still does.
And the film is awful...in that SUPERGIRL 84 kind of way. Cheesy, not un-enjoyable...but garbage nonetheless.
