Wow, this is a very welcome surprise: a great melodic score which also thrives because of its unusual instrumentation - something I do expect from Mothersbaugh but not necessarily from a Marvel score.
Marvel seems to be improving a little bit in this area. Do you think it's because they're listening or because they just can't have 20 movies with the same score?

I suspect that Marvel began to take more care of scores after the first IRON MAN movies, bringing in more interesting directors definitely did help, too.
In the end, IMHO, it´s always the movie which decides what kind of score can be written. If the material isn´t there, the composer can try to elevate things (like Goldsmith did so many times) but in these days of much quicker editing the room for a melody to breathe often isn´t there.

Saw it at the cinema yesterday. Really liked the film. It was incredibly funny, colorful, and full of sheer spectacle. The music really fit stylistically. I will have to revisit the score on album at a later time. When he quoted the themes for Asgard and Thor from Doyle's score I had a huge grin on my face. Also, having an in-movie choir quote the music from "Into Eternity" ("The Dark World") was a neat little easter egg.
Hopefully, Doyle's theme has returned to stay.

Listened to the soundtrack twice yesterday (having seen the movie earlier in the week). I have to say, I am really enjoying it! It sounds so different when compared with most of the other Marvel movie works. The blend between traditional orchestra and 80s throwback Tron/synth sound is so refreshing. My only gripe is that they didn't include the Led Zeppelins song (even at the very end of the album), seeing as how it has such an important role in the score of the movie.

During the closing credits, it was mentioned that "The Lonely Man" cue by Joe Hartnell was used in the film, but I can't recall it. Can anybody tell me when it occurred in the film? And is it on the score album?
It's very subtle, but I seem to remember it's in the scene where Thor and Hulk are having the quiet conversation in Hulk's bedroom on Sakaar. It's not on the soundtrack.
We all know that they used one song from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was used when Thor was wheeled in to meet the Grandmaster? What is the name of the song? and is it included in the soundtrack?
"The Wondrous Boat Ride". It's not on the soundtrack.
Finally, what is the name of that hard rock theme that was used in the opening, the final fight scenes and in all the trailers for months? And again is it in the credits?
"Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin. It's not on the soundtrack.

Watched yesterday.
Favorite music of the year. Movie’s good but Mark’s score might be the best thing about it.

Man, this was such an enjoyable movie with an EPIC synth score - the best of the year, hands down.
Fans of 80's synth will not be disappointed.

Regarding general music, I like some 80's synth, some I do not. Regarding film music, I love electronics and synth 9 times out of 10 -- absolutely love them. They are often what my mind is drawn to the quickest and most naturally when listening to film scores. I've loved the recent "throwback" scores that've been done with 80's nostalgia hooks, like Jeff Grace's Carpenter-esque Cold In July, Disasterpeace's It Follows, Rob's Maniac, and Paul Haslinger's period-specific music for AMC's Halt and Catch Fire.
However, I could not get into Thor: Ragnarok. It just didn't catch on with me. Maybe I'll revisit it further down the line, but I was pretty turned off by it. Maybe if I see it in the film things will be different. First impression not good. I think it's awesome that a picture like this got a score like that, I like the bold choice and the left-field bravery of style, but it's just not something that synced up with my tastes this go 'round.

Never would have believed that the man who scored RUGRATS had one like this in him.
