This soundtrack is just great. I was excited for this to come out. Bear is a great composer, I just love the themes he creates for each character. The songs feel like the characters. My favorite theme is Derek Reese's theme. I like them all though. I also really enjoy listening to Samson and Delilah. This is one of my favorite cd's now, so Good work bear. I just hope fox doesn't even think about canceling this show, it's epic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Strong Score, December 24, 2008

The score for the Sarah Connor Chronicles is one of my favorite. It really seems to have a strong place in the Terminator movie scores. Really the only thing that could make it better is for it to have more songs, but I guess you can't fit much more on it. Just can't wait till volume 2 comes out. I think the main theme that seems to be throughout the music is very moving and strong, Really fits the epic /terminator mood. Just wish the theme was a bit longer. But all in all, if you are a fan of the Terminator series, this is a must have.

If you know Bear McCreary or are a fan of Battlestar Galactica, I would stop reading what I have to say or anybody else has to say and recommend picking up this album asap.

If you are not familiar with BSG, what Bear McCreary is able to bring is what I would call an epic score, but not epic like LotR or Troy with large horns and brass. Instead, its a very powerful, subtle and emotional music that plays that can be enjoyed in any mood. The themes give you perfect immagination of the character and what they are feeling and what it turns out is the opposite of most soundtracks for shows that are meant to be just be filler music. Instead, Bear McCreary is able to turn the music into a character, helping lift the emotions and feelings of the character and push the story. Just the new terminator cue gives me chills or Sarah theme with the ballad of strings.

If your into a fantastic listen, or looking for music with meaning, this is a must buy.
