Of course you can say that, considering we never got to hear Yared's score in film in its properly mixed and edited form. Nobody has other than that one accursed test audience. There are some videos floating around on YouTube or whatever but they are fanmade, without proper balancing of sound, so Yared's music comes across as too dominant, but that's not how it would have sounded in the actual finalized film. We have no way to truly compare how well Yared's score would have worked, simple as that.
