With all the hype around this movie, there is alot of buzz around the music too. Being a fan of Daft Punk, I was compelled to listen to their latest work.
Generally speaking, its a weird album. I was expecting the next great Daft Punk hit. This is not that album. So throw that expectation in the garbage disposal. It'll improve your experience greatly. This is a good album. Its very unique, interesting, and mature. Its orchestrally heavy, like a typical film score. There are also many electronic elements and flourishes. The old meets the new on this album. In fact, they are like an old couple - they bicker, they compromise, they even fight it out. If you enjoyed the Inception score (which I did immensely) you'll enjoy this. This album is not the next dance and electronic sensation though. A delicate balance is trying to be found here. It's subtle, it's epic, it's full, it's lush. It isn't strange, wild, or out-of-control. So don't come looking for that. I'll give this album 3 out of 5. If I went in with no expectations, I'd probably give this a 4. Try it out and let me know what you think.
