4.0 out of 5 stars An impressively detailed score not deserving of the film for which it was made, March 5, 2009

On the first few listens this score did not register fully but by the fourth spin it's clear Tyler has crafted a beautifully harmonic score for a terrible film. He weaves several memorable themes and motifs using mainly piano, strings and ethereal vocals throughout the 67 minute running time. Tracks like `Adam' are reminiscent of Michael Andrews score for Donnie Darko while the `Main/End Titles,' `New Home,' `No Return' and `Birth' are similar in style and quality to his score for Final Cut.

Tyler keeps things from getting too repetitive with an electronic drum beat in the second half of `loathing' and there's some standard horror/suspense queues in `Draw the Burning Building, `Darkroom' and `Curtains,' the latter of which wouldn't be out of place on AVP: Requiem.

Unfortunately this album is no longer in print so like you, I had to buy my copy through Itunes. Recommended for BT fans, or those who enjoy their scores to be reflective and melodic without being overstated.

5.0 out of 5 stars A return to the more serious side of Brian Tyler, May 7, 2004

This review is from: Godsend [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Audio CD)

This score has much in common with his score to Frailty. It is the most part serious drama with moments of sheer terror. Alas, Brian Tyler is a very talented composer who writes wonderful music for films that are commercial and critical failures. When will Hollywood wake up and listen? I would certainly like to see Brian get attached to highly successful project. I know that most people don't set out to make a bad film but come on!
