Having not bought the score but heard the samples and seen the film (in the review I mentioned that Goldenthal was content to thrash about with the music) I shouldn't quite say I agree yet. This score sounds like too much stuff going on at one, too many layers that don't match up the way David Arnold's music does. but once again, I could be wrong, I dont own the disc, but I'm quite familiar with the music
