Alan Silvestri Delivers Another Amazing Fantasy/Adventure Score

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

First thing’s first. This album contains the score for the film as composed by Alan Silvestri. There are several one-star ratings for this product that have been written by people who were expecting the pop songs from the film, despite Mr. Silvestri’s name being listed as the album artist AND appearing on the cover of the album, as well as the pop songs not being included at all in the track listing. If you’re looking for the “Songs from the Motion Picture” album, it is available for download separately both here on Amazon and on iTunes (as of this writing, it does not appear to be available on CD).

Now that that’s out of the way, this score is a real gift to Alan Silvestri fans. "Back to the Future" lovers will notice a lot of stylistic similarities between the two scores (not including the direct quote in the track “Real World Consequences” as Wade uses the Zemeckis Cube). Other direct references include Max Steiner’s "King Kong" theme and a very robust performance of Akira Ifukube’s "Godzilla" march. None of the material from "The Shining" appears on this album--I’m not even entirely sure if that music was rerecorded or just taken wholesale from "The Shining" soundtrack, it sounds so darn close to the original.

This is a very optimistic, sweeping fantasy score. Two main themes stand out very prominently, though there lacks immediately identifiable themes for the love story and the villain. Occasionally some of the music is a bit anonymous--it’s admittedly hard to weave a rich tapestry of thematic material when dancing around near-constant song placement, dialogue, and explosions. But by and large, this is a fun action-adventure score that serves the film well and is very enjoyable on album. It might not be the complete slam-dunk that, say, "Back to the Future" was, but it’s close.

A New Classic From Alan Silvestri

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

This entire film is a miracle. I never in a million years thought the movie would be able to be brought to life anywhere near it's original form, but the one and only legend Steven Spielberg pulled it off.

In his corner on this one, the master - Alan Silvestri. Listening to his music accompany this movie was an absolute joy. You'll hear queues that take you right Back to the Future. You'll hear stuff that is as swashbuckling as The Avengers, and you'll get to hear Silvestri adapt iconic themes from other all time franchises, seamlessly into this score. A score that is every bit as much a miracle in it's own right.

Still in disbelief that Ready Player One was not only faithfully made, but was also masterfully executed by everyone both behind and in front of the camera. The mother of all movies, and Alan Silvestri nails every last beat to make it hum.

Great score!

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018

Surely, this year 2018 should go down as the Year of Alan Silvestri. In this year alone, we got extended releases of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Mummy Returns, both fantastic scores, plus he wrote 2 exciting action scores to Ready Player One and Avengers Infinity Wars. In this deplorable age of composer by committee, lame theme-less minimalist wallpaper crap scores for action movies that we now seem to be stuck in, thank goodness Alan Silvestri is still here to carry on the baton and remind us all what film music should sound like. He is surely my favorite composer second only to the great John Williams, although his musical style seems more descended from Jerry Goldsmith. Ready Player One is a fantastic score, full of his trademark thematic driven action music with a little of BTTF thrown in. One can hear a few obvious bars of "DeLorean Revealed" as well as, more subtly, what sounds like the opening runs from "Clocktower." The two dominant themes in this score may not be instantly memorable compared to his classic scores, but there is plenty of brassy action music, typical Silvestri fanfares, jagged violin runs, and snare drum ostinatos (which sound similar to, but not really the same, as his BTTF work). I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this score, even more than his louder, somewhat more generic work for Avengers Infinity Wars, I would agree with those who say his heart seemed to be more into this one. The only complaint I had is the difficulty obtaining this album on CD. You can't get it on CD from amazon except through third party sellers, you can't get it from any of the other major online soundtrack outlets either. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that this is a double CD soundtrack album, which is a rare occurrence for a first time score release, and a very generous offering of score even in today's day and age of longer score releases. I managed to secure a copy under $20 and found it well worth it.

No '80s songs

Great score! Some of the poor reviews are only there because people didn't do their homework about this score. No '80s songs are included here, but I'm ok with that. This music from Alan Silvestri is great! Don't let the 1-star reviews deter you.

It's not a great soundtrack, and I've heard many

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018

Lacks the main title "Pure imagination". (Wish I had read the description closer.)
The rest is just "ok". I don't care it lacks the tracks from the 80s, (I didn't want those).
A lot of people bought this thinking it had 80s music on it, but they should have read the track names! That is their fault!
As for the soundtrack . . .
It's not a great soundtrack, and I've heard many.
I'll keep it for my collection, but it's unlikely I'll listen to it much.

I like the way it looks. Even the song it has their are only 11 in this album. So their are other songs that are missing in this album that was play in the movie of course. I love it.

This only contains the orchestra soundtrack, not the 80's songs used in the movie.

Loved this movie! Ready Player One the book was awesome, and the movie, while not a word-for-word adaptation, was highly entertaining regardless. This only contains the orchestra soundtrack, not the 80's songs used in the movie.

Great Selection of 70's/80's!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this off the back of watching the movie a second time and loving it! I also have a penchant for collecting CD's, the excellent choice of music in the film, and the 80's in general. In fact, even if you've never seen the film, this is a pretty decent selection of tracks you might like from that era regardless!
With staples like 'Everybody Wants To Rule the World' and New Order's seminal, 'Blue Monday', pretty much every track here is great. Even includes the relatively unknown Springsteen track, 'Stand On It', which I've always loved and been after in some form or another.
The CD itself is packaged nicely, had no faults with delivery or condition of the case upon arrival. Plays fine, and is lovely to look at, with the film cover providing an injection of futuristic sci-fi and nostalgia, too.
One thing I will say is that this soundtrack doesn't include *all* the songs used in the movie. I noted Van Halen's 'Jump' and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' amazing 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' ommited from this OST. Always strikes me as odd when they leave a few tracks out, but still - Most of the tracks used in the movie are on here, and they sound great.

Pot luck

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wanted to buy the Alan Silvestri score, but unfortunately fell foul of Amazon's complete ineptitude. They are simply unable to tag products correctly - never more so than with soundtracks, where there is often both an OST and an album of the pop songs that were used in the film. So I looked at this listing, which said Ready Player One OST, and underneath listed Alan Silvestri as the artist. Further down the page it did also say 'Various Artists,' which was worrying. So I looked at the reviews, and discovered one who said he had wanted the pop album, but this turned out to be the OST, so I thought, on balance, I was probably in the right place.

Sadly it turns out that both listings are completely screwed. The reviewer who gave me hope had probably gone in via the other listing, and got the OST, but I ended up seeing his review because the reviews for both are conflated in one place.

I think I actually give up trying to buy stuff at Amazon, till they get their act together.

Classic Silvestri

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2019

When I heard John Williams was unable to score Ready Player One I was disappointed at first, even though I really enjoy Alan Silvestri's film scores. After seeing the movie the disappointment was gone. This is a great score with some wonderful catchy themes. Possibly Alan Silvestri's best since the Back to the Future trilogy.

This is NOT the various artists version of the soundtrack...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

Please note - this is NOT the various artists version.
I have to give this 5 stars because it was totally my error in ordering it, however it is one of only 2 things I have ever returned to Amazon.
I made the mistake of reading another buyer's review without realising that there are two soundtracks for this movie and the 'various artists' one hasn't even been released yet (it's April 18). This version is what I would call the instrumental backing music and if that's what you want then it will be perfect, just be careful to order the right one!

The crackling in this record appears to be baked into the vinyl. I can't remove it, and the record sounds terrible. It came all the way from the USA to the UK... and I'm gutted that straight out of the wrapper, it sounds awful.
