Let me begin by saying that I became addicted to film scores several years ago. Since I began listening to them I have purchased nothing else. As an independent writer, I use them for inspiration when I write since they do not have distracting lyrics. I am not a music expert and know little about scoring a film. I just know what I like.

And I loved THE 6TH DAY.

I am a big fan of the movie, Schwarzenegger, and the score for this film. So much so that I listened to the entire Composer Commentary Track on the DVD and gained even more appreciation for the score. It is very aggressive music filled with synth rhythms and heavy drum work that I love in a music score. Both Adam's Theme and The Clone Theme continually pop up at all the right times.

If the soundtrack has a failing, it is that Mr. Rabin's sound is usually very similar in all of his scores. Some people might complain that similarities can be made to the score work done in CON AIR, DEEP BLUE SEA, and ENEMY OF THE STATE but I loved all of those scores as well. It would be like trying to tell an artist to draw figures a different way or get a singer to change his inflection and tones.

Composers are usually hired to bring his or her style to a picture and Trevor Rabin's great synth and action style is perfectly in tune for this picture. It is great to listen to as a stand-alone disc and if you like any of Mr. Rabin's other work, I am sure you will enjoy this disc.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once again proves sci-fi thrillers are still with us - but none of this would work without the magnificent score by Trevor Rabin. Cloning is the subject matter and our composer takes on the assignment with no-holds-barred, as you will journey through each cue that is simply riveting.

Rabin who gave us - "CON AIR" (1997), "ARMAGEDDON" & "ENEMY OF STATE" (1998), "DEEP BLUE SEA" & "JACK FROST" (1999), "GONE IN 60 SECONDS" & "REMEMBER THE TITANS" (2000), puts this on another level - with "THE 6TH DAY" darker and more subdued mixing rock, electronic and symphonic genres...nice touch, as it suits the films story-line perfectly.

Of course highlights - "PLAYING GOD", "THE ROOF TOP", "DRUCKER MEETS DRUCKER" and finally "ADAM GOES HOME" each cue has enough power through percussion, electronic and choral mixes to light up an entire metropolis...as the interwoven theme goes way beyond the max, simply outstanding in structure and awesome in performance.

Varese Sarabande and Trevor Rabin have another winner, as their long winning-streak for "movie-music" collectors and "film-score-buffs" continue to amaze every theatre-going fan!

This Score for the Movie The Sixth Day is a very Entertaining piece of score music composed by artist Trevor Rabin.This score like his previous Armageddon,Enemy Of The State and Gone In Sixty Seconds combines elements of Hard Rock,Electronic Back Beats and Pulse pounding exciting music.A wonderful Jewel of work is Heard in the End Credits song ADAM GOES HOME.This song starts out soft and carries the main theme of the movie along in it and is wonderfully paced.The rest of the songs including CLONING,The 6TH DAY and ADAM'S THEME are truly amazing compositions by Rabin.Some of his most Amazing work to date a great addition to any soundtrack collectioon.

5STARS

When you listen this soundtrack it makes you relax and feel confortable. You enjoy it for a while but then, it becomes bore.
In the end, is worth it.

How can I sum up The 6th Day in one review? Trevor Rabin's newest composition for the action, sci - fi film The 6th Day mixes everthing that score fans would come to expect from former Yes - man Rabin - amazing action cues (The Rooftop track comes to mind) and amazing themes, such as Adam's Theme and the loud, complex arrangements heard in Adam Goes Home. This score comes close to being some of Rabin's best work, but comes up a bit short - that's why 4 stars, not 3. After the incredible choral work heard in 1999's Deep Blue Sea, I wonder if Rabin could ever top the emotional level heard in Aftermath(of Deep Blue Sea) Overall, Varese Sarabande needs to produce longer scores, for those of us who like scores longer than 39 minutes!! Deep Blue Sea clocks in at 30 minutes, also on the Varese Sarabande label!! The 6th Day provides the film and the listener a qreat journey through the exciting world of cloning - and Ah-nuld!! Rabin managed to come up with many great ques featuring alot of diferent instruments, reslulting in a great "must - have" album.

Thanks Trevor!! If you are a new Rabin discoverer, get this. If you are already a fan of his work, get this.

Thanks for reading!!

An entertaining score, but Rabin has just used the main theme from 'Deep Blue Sea' and has added a touch of Armageddon to it. Thrown in are exact cues from 'Enemy of the State' remastered with some of Hans Zimmer's 'Power of One' kind-of chants. Track 4 seems like a lighter version of Armageddon's Launch track and Track 5 sounds exactly like Enemy of the State's Track 6 on the score CD.

I mean this is an entertaining score. But the tracks won't last forever. The genius ability that he showed in 'Armageddon' is definitely not in show here.

Only for the 'score-beginners' or 'Rabin's fans'...

Trevor Rabin is one of the newest names in film music coming from the Media Ventures lot. He returns once again to score the Schwartzenegger film The Sixth Day and it didn't do quite as well as I had hoped. The best things about the score are the 2 themes presented. The first is heard in full form in "The 6th Day" and is awesome when it is played in full force. The second and the better theme in my opinion is "Adam's Theme". Both themes pop up here and there throughout the score. The rest of the music is mainly electronic blasting noises accompanying the action scenes in the film. There are a few good spots where the action music takes off and this is in "One For The Team", "The Rescue", and "The Roof Top". A synthesized choir is also used in some of the tracks, but could just as well of been left out. 3 stars is the rating mainly because the majority of the music is noisy and gave me a headache. A small orchestra was actually used in the score but you can hardly tell as the synthesizers dominated the listening experience. Trevor Rabin is a talented composer when he really wants to be (think Armageddon), but here he falls short of the mark. A decent listening when the themes appear, but other than that, just a bunch of noise.

Hi - I have written the review below, but I realized I made an error - instead of writing "4 stars instead of 5", I wrote "4 stars instead of 3", in the middle of the review. So, it still gets 4 out of 5. Thanks!

Trevor Rabin is my favorite composer, and once again, he didn't disappoint me. THE 6TH DAY is filled with energy and emotion. Certain tracks, like 6 and 8 and 5, have adrenaline running through them. Some are subdued and build into an ominous theme that is a more electronic version of 'Deep Blue Sea'. Better than GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS and ENEMY OF THE STATE. Right alongside DEEP BLUE SEA. Tracks worth special note are IN THE BEGINNING---ONE FOR THE TEAM-- THE RESCUE-- THE ROOFTOP---THE KISS. Check out the DVD also. It will have a commentary by Rabin and isolated score. Finally he gets what he deserves on DVD. My only hope is that he will not be over-commercialized and forced to crank out mediocere score in mass

This soundtrack has a lot of spark!,All the song specially the first one have a lot of power, actually Trevor Rabin has the second place as one of my favorite movie composers of all time.
