I don't know about a CD, alas, but Mondo is putting it out on vinyl, a two-disc set, I believe.
On December 2, Nathan & Rian Johnson will be at Amoeba Hollywood signing "advance artwork for the Knives Out soundtrack".

I listened to a handful of cues and the score did nothing for me. I find it's been over hyped. Can't recall a lick of it after hearing it. Just recall some instrument choices.

You call the score overhyped and admit you haven’t heard the whole score. Oh, well...

Whole score doesn't need to be heard. The cues speak for themselves. If you want to tell me the score as a whole is so all over the place that all the cues are different, then that doesn't help any, it makes it worse.

Here's a fact: That sentence is riddled with errors.
Also, you are confusing the word fact with opinion. 2+2 = 4. It can only equal four. you have to add two and two to get four -- that's a fact. One does not need to here an entire score to for an opinion.

Is "Cut Narrative" a new label? Nevah hoyd of 'em.

Actually no, you don't HAVE TO. The condition is sufficient but not necessary. 1+3 = 4. ;-)

The score serves the film pretty well, although it's still fairly low-key. As is the movie itself - maybe I've read and seen too many murder mysteries so I'm spoiled, but I'm sorry to say that Knives Out is less than stellar compared to so many others. I was hoping for something quite a bit more clever and tricky; the "mystery" aspect runs out of steam halfway through and the solution is fairly humdrum and will likely elicit a shrug-of-the-shoulders "so that's it?" from most mystery fans. The political aspect mentioned in a previous post pretty much comes down to: "the big house represents America, see? Full of squabblers on the right and the left who are tearing things apart. We all need to calm down and learn some compassion for others." Aww, ain't that all sweet and simple?
Sarcasm and disappointment aside, there are good things here: Daniel Craig is having a ball as an eccentric sleuth who may or may not be as sharp as his reputation would have him. Ana de Armas elicits our sympathy as the murder (or was he a suicide?) victim's nurse; she, more than Craig, is really the central character here. The actors playing the jerkass family get to chew the scenery nicely: I particularly like Toni Collette, Michael Shannon, and Don Johnson. It's a pity, though, that Riki Lindhome (as Shannon's wife) gets virtually nothing to do. Were most of her scenes cut? It was also a joy to see M. Emmet Walsh in a new film - here playing the estate's ancient security man.
But too many missed opportunities: The dead man (Christopher Plummer) was a famous mystery novelist - wouldn't you expect at least some of the trickiness of the plot driven by this fact? But aside from giving someone some quick advice to get out of a serious situation, nothing is made of his status as a mystery writer. He may as well have been a wealthy industrialist. And only a couple of the Sleuth-like props and secrets of the house are exploited, rather than being intrinsic. And, as I mentioned earlier, the wrap-up of the mystery is pedestrian stuff, whereas a good Christie-like mystery should have you thrilled at the solution: "Of course! I should have thought of that. Brilliant!!" Not here, I'm sorry to say.
One does get, though, a literal running gag throughout.
