No, Peter, you're absolutely correct! I wanted to like this score, but everytime I listen to it, I can't help but think "Goldsmith rip-off."

The Edge is a truly magnificent score, and while Badelt does an admirable job of manipulating Goldsmith's main theme and adding a dash of Zimmer electronica, in my opinion, it doesn't even come close to the original.
