Score means score, Soundtrack means Album, duh, September 8, 2002
This review is from: The One: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)
To all those people who are "disappointed" by the score, go find the soundtrack, and quit whining. The score IS the background music, plain and simple, don't buy it if you're looking for the album. Sometimes, they put one or two songs with lyrics on the score, because the composer had a hand in its creation, but that's about it. Don't wail on the score because you messed up your purchase. I saw the movie, and said, 'hey, an action movie's score is quite good. I think I'll buy it.' Rabin is a heavy electronic rock artist, (see Armageddon or Con Air), and once again does a great job of properly accenting the combat sequences, not to mention the slower, emotional parts. I'll tell you what they were thinking when they made the soundtrack: "Trevor Rabin's an excellent composer, let's sell the album later, and satisify those people looking for the score for a change." that's far from nothing. After hearing nothing but rap in Romeo Must Die, this score was a pleasant surprise. Even better, though, was Kiss of the Dragon, but that's another review.

Trevor Rabin, this is music, not songs., January 20, 2002
This review is from: The One: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)
If you are looking for the songs, then why write a review for this album? Trevor has come up with an original electronic sounding score for The One, which suits the movie and sounds interesting on CD.

"I Will Be The One", August 10, 2003
This review is from: The One: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)
Trevor scores another winner with this one, all the stuff you come to expect from him, synth, rock, and a decent size orchestra all in one kick{in} score. IF you liked any of Rabin's other work(manly Con Air) you'll love this soundtrack. Rabin uses three themes, Jet Li's Theme, Jet Li and his Wife's Theme, and The Future Theme. Each theme is used a good bit, making the cd even better. Rabin makes good use of the orchestra, but it can't be heard sometimes becuase of the synth and rock music but thats not always a bad thing! Even for someone who does not like scores and just rock music may even enjoy this CD.
