"Final Battle" is only 54 seconds long?
If only to see how the hell they swung that, I'm gonna be seeing this.
Maybe they go in knowing, and since knowing is half the battle...
LOL! Perhaps they had to shorten the final battle so that there was time for the public service announcement at the end. After all we need a certain percentage of the film to be educational.

"This may be the JOE theme."
From what i have heard of the score already (and i am not just talking 30 sec sound clips), i can say with confidence that this is most certainly production music. I can't recognize the theme from the few parts of the score i have heard already (which i would describe as silvestris americana style mixed with tomb raider beats... all on full steroids). It's also important to point out that this does not really sound like something silvestri would compose.
The full cd should arrive here in a few more days, so i can tell you soon if its really part of the score or just some weird cue they have picked from a production music cd.

I have received my CD from colosseum records yesterday.
First of all: The score is so very good!
Second of all: the sound is NOT!
When i listened to the music on my good quality hi-fi stereo system, i noticed it sounded very flat and muffled. I then increased the higher frequencies and heard compression noise!
I have talked to others who received their discs and they confirmed they have the same issue. Some have run spectral analysis and there are frequency cutoffs typical of mp3 files. Someone must have sleeped during the production of the CD and used a lossy source as master.
I have contacted both colosseum and varese and hopefully will receive some answers soon. When i buy a cd i dont expect some download quality.

At first listen, this one's a disappointment. There's lots going on in action cues like "Just About Close Enough", but thematically it's too weak to be memorable.

I was expecting this score to polarize the opinions. However, this one has a great potential of getting better with each listen. I have already become addicted. The thematic development is there, but since this movie is an origin story the themes are only more hinted at except for the main theme.
And there is no choir or female voice, something that feels very refreshing. The electronics are really only there in the first half and make room for an incredible orchestral finale. End Credits is now one of my top favorite silvestri tracks!
If only the sound would be better...
I would suggest everyone who has the score to email varese about the sound issue! Don't let them get away with this poor mastering job!

God I'm so sick of origin movie scores "hinting" at themes.

Its not like it does not have some obvious thematic statements at all. Thats not what i said. If you want just themes, listen to the second half of the album and ignore the first. From track 13 on this one is pure fun to listen to. And silvestri is in full control of the orchestra. As far as that is concerned, it blows lots of recent action scores right out of the water, into the orbit and back to that giant robot planet where they came from. "Just about close enough" is for me worth the price of the album alone.
But like i said, there are issues with the sound being mastered from a lossy source so if you pre-ordered this, ask varese and threat to cancel your orders if the issue isnt solved!
I would also recommend screen archives to ask varese about this!
