Greetings to all!

I've finally got the Spider-Man 2 score album, and I must say, it has been done not bad (oddly, this score album has been released in europe july 6). Almost every track, the Doc Ock theme excluded, has familiarity to the first Spider-Man score. Just a bit changed, in a very appropriate way, in my opinion. I like the main title theme too a lot, also this time. There is great energy in it, and Elfman knows every time how to translate greate energy on music.

But, I have also to say that I was very disappointed not to hear the original and complete track "Train" for the train battle scene between Spidey and Doc Ock! It is a remarkable piece of music cue and sounds even very powerful during that fantastic action sequence. I've learned from our friend Clemmensen, that this music has been written by John Debney. Or was it Christopher Young? Unfortuntly, it's missing completly in the score album. A real shame, I have to say! And I don't understand why tracks 10 & 11 are supposed to be bonus tracks? If they have or want to put in bonus tracks, then they have to make it right! Don't you agree? When I buy a soundtrack from a movie that I like, I want to hear the music I've heard in the movie, and not other cues which I have not heard in it at all, and therefor not having any identification or relation with the movie I've watched.

Overall, I like this latest work of Danny Elfman. I like the music version heard in the film much more better, than the version on the album, I have to say. If they would have put in that action music cue I mentioned, this score would have got by me 4 stars. But since they haven't, Spider-Man 2 - The Original Motion Picture Score album gets by me:
