Happy to get Elfman on the album even though it’s probably a little over a third of what he contributed.
Incidentally, all Elfman’s announced 2015 scores are done, and Miss Peregrine and Alice 2 are a while away yet. I wonder what he’s up to? Wouldn’t be like him to take a long break.
No hard feelings anyway.

Positive review of the score.
Has it already been discussed that the album will be digitally released on April 28th (10 days from now) and on CD on May 19th?
When do you guys think we’ll get a preview? Sometime this week? Maybe Tuesday?
Full score available to listen on YouTube… for now. Here is the playlist:

Edit: And alas, it is gone. Glad some of you got to hear it!
Well, I’ve listened to it and have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. You can really hear that Danny enjoyed writing the music; I think that after so many small films, he wanted to go full muscle for a short while…even though it meant using a lot of pre-existing themes. It’s nothing that you’ve never heard before but it’s straightforward and effective.
His new theme, although nothing special, morphs pretty well with Silvestri’s (which wasn’t something special either). It seems that he uses others themes as well but I’m no Marvel fan so I don’t know about that. There’s a more emotionnal theme though that sounds like a mixture of Sleepy Hollow’s main theme and Hulk’s Love Theme (the second part).On a side note, I have the impression that there are still orchestral samples left in there (especially in “Heroes” which isn’t used in the film…perhaps a demo-track of his ideas that was only partially recorded). The mixing isn’t the greatest either but I guess there wasn’t much time for crafting…
I totally agree… a thoroughly enjoyable listen indeed.
Just imagine what he could have done with a clean slate (profound sigh
)… but maybe there’s a chance that he returns for the next one Damn. I was in the middle of listening to the tracks as the files were being removed. Sounded good to me and I had a hard time distinguishing Tyler from Elfman a few times.
A lot of Silvestri music was tracked in. Mixing wasn’t very good, a bit kinder to Elfman than Tyler but not ideal.

I saw the movie yesterday, but there was a problem with the sound in the cinema (very low, lack of dynamism…). From what I heard, I agree with ddddeeee, a lot of temptracking (sadly, including during the end credits) and a music globaly drown under the effects.
But I heard the score on youtube (it was available again yesterday), and I love it. Quite hard sometimes to say exactly who did what, there is a real unity between the two composers, unexpected knowing how the “collaboration” worked…Happy to hear Elfman in epic mode again, the better Marvel Universe score for the moment, according to me.The ‘New Avengers’ segment is cut from the scene it was obviously meant to accompany, ‘A Promise’ from the first is tracked in, but I think it was temped in earlier in the movie somewhere. It’s really a huge mess musically.
Elfman’s ‘It Begins’ opens the movie but ‘I Got a Ride’ from the first score plays instead of Elfman’s ‘Heroes’ cue.
And Tyler somehow gets it worse. Elfman’s dramatic cues get a bit of a chance to breathe, Scarlet Witch’s big moment (Inevitability) is prominant and ‘Avengers Unite’ is kind of audible, but 90% of what Tyler wrote is completely buried. On the other hand, Silvestri’s cues are prominantly mixed.
Messy but good. Action kind of hard to follow but all the characters shine. Although I didn’t care much for Banner or Hulk in this one.
