    It seems like Elfman tackled the drama and The Newton Bros got all the mood/horror stuff.

    It’s a really odd combination if nothing else. Very small score. Lots of piano, those rhythmic figures he loves so much these days and some very Elfman-like choir. For the cues that are seemingly Elfman’s at least.

    The Newton Bros stuff is very harsh and electronic.

    Having listened to the score twice now I think the Elfman cues are

    Getting the House Ready
    Welcoming Cody
    Cody’s First Day of School
    Butterflies (I think this cue starts with Elfman and switches half way through)
    Classroom Drawing
    I’m Sorry
    Post Sean “Dream” Breakfast
    Sean’s Christmas DVD
    What Happens When He Dreams (Starts with Newton Bros then Elfman for sure)
    Cankerman Eats Whalen’s Wife (Same as above but goes back to Newton bros)

    I’m not sure about the main titles.

    Trying to figure out why the YouTube playlist goes from track 10 to 24 for no reason…?

    Official credit in the end credits of the movie

    New cover art

    ‘featuring new track by Danny Elfman…’

    The Newton Bros said Elfman wrote a 12 minute track ages ago but that doesn’t seem to correlate with the album that’s already online.

    14 minutes of Elfman.

    Some of the music I thought was Elfman was evidently The Newton Bros. Fair play, some of it is really quite nice.

    None of Elfman’s music is on the leaked album.

    The movie has been delayed again so the CD release will probably be delayed…again.

    I think I don’t care anymore. I think I never did actually.

    Isn’t the film on Blu-ray in Europe/UK?

    Limited release – now shipping!

    Elfman’s contributions to this are really beautiful; they’re very sad and melodramatic with a hint of fantasy. You’ll all be fans I think.

    Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered my copy. $35 Canadian w/ shipping. Ouch. That’s more than $2 per minute of Elfman music!

    I just ordered my copy from the Varese Sarabande site, total of about $18.00 with shipping,not too bad, too bad it’s only three tracks.

    I think it took longer for me to remove the packaging than it did to ship to Ireland. There’s nothing relating to Elfman nor his team (apart from a thank you) in the booklet.

    Lovely music. What a great week for Elfman fans.

    Got my CD today — man, I wish Danny had scored the whole film. This is fantastic!

    I’ve got three new Elfman discs on my desk for the first time in how long? It’s a good time!

    Are we sure Elfman only did those three tracks on the soundtrack (“Sean”, “Christmas” and “Defeated”)?

    Also, does anyone know where I can download JUST the Elfman tracks? It’s not on iTunes (which is understandable, since it’s a limited edition).
