Alan Silvestri Delivers Another Amazing Fantasy/Adventure Score

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.

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.

It's always nice to have a new Alan Silvestri score - this one, I suspect, appeals more to fans of thumping action cues, but there are some very nice things besides those. I wished for some stronger themes, but repeated listenings do help, and there are any number of fun musical quotes in the score. I'm not sure we needed a two-CD set of eight-four minutes, but sound is excellent and if it never reaches the heights of Spielberg's regular John Williams, it's still fun and recommended.

Fake out - I thought it was going to be the 80's songs and it WAS NOT. Read these descriptions...

The movie's score is wonderful, and there are 2 discs of proof that Alan Silvestri is very much in the same league as John Williams

The score did not disappoint at all

I am a big Alan Silvestri fan. The score did not disappoint at all. Excellent recording. The only complaint I had was in the track listing on the back insert of the jewel case. Disc one lists tracks 1-11. Disc two lists tracks 12-22. The track listing on disc two should be the same as disc one.

Great music, dry mixing.

That old Silvestri magic is here in full force. My only complaint is the mixing is very dry, making the music sound like it was recorded in someone’s bedroom.

Those of you giving bad reviews because it's the movie's ORIGINAL SCORE should be ashamed of yourselves.
Not reading product information and knowing what makes up a soundtrack should automatically disqualify those comments.
