3.0 out of 5 stars Weird, but not a complete surprise, June 3, 2005

By	Jessica Levai (MA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Okay, by now we all have our opinions of the movie. I, personally, was grossly disappointed. So why did I buy this score? As a fan of Buffy, I had a soft spot for Christophe Beck. The review at filmtracks.com of this Elektra score will tell you that this music is a departure for Beck, but that isn't really true. If you've listened to the "Suite from 'Restless'" on the Buffy-Once More With Feeling CD, you pretty much know what you're in for.

Specifically, you're in for 45 minutes of funky percussion, clanging gongs, blasting horns, some other instruments I can't quite identify, and one soft, slow track at the end. So if you like that, then enjoy.

I myself actively like only two tracks: "De Marco's End," which is slightly kick-a$$ but only at the end, and "Insomnia." "Ninjas" has a bit of a James Horner vibe, like "Bishop's Countdown" from _Aliens_. (Of course, the scores for lots of action pictures claim a "Bishop's Countdown"-style track.)

I would have liked the album more if it had a good movie to refer to. Since it didn't, I can't really recommend it on the music alone. But if you like non-traditional scores (or only listen to the second half of _Children of Dune_) this might be worth a spin.

I love this score! Every time I listen to it I can picture the scene each song is from!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good album for an excellent movie, December 3, 2005

By	Jose Aguirre (Moreno Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is great. The music is so deep and relaxing. Only those people with no taste don't like it.
