Wow.
(So, after the initial shock phase, we move into a more appropriate form of commenting)

So, did anyone else think that parts of this sounded eerily reminiscent of Army of Darkness? It was like the March of the Undead, with an 'ape like' overtone! Loved it! Another thing is how I like how Elfman's sci-fi scores are including more of this electronic sound to it. Like Men in Black, the main title for this score reflects a lot of the electronic sounds he uses, which I think perfectly compliments Elfman's style. I don't own this one yet, but it will of course be another Elfman selection in the library. I think it will be another one of Elfman's overlooked goodies, like MIB. Every time I mention the MIB music, all I get talk about is Will Smith! Boo!

Yeah, I quess. But at somepoint there is a brass theme wich remind me of the score of Sleepy Hollow, altough it isn't fully played. Just the beginning appears.

I noticed that to. I haven't hear him to use electorics yet. Sometimes the style is turning more to the Hans Zimmer like. Not that I complain.
