Barnes & Nobles have posted 30sec samples for each and every track of the album. I know the cd comes out tomorrow, but since some people live outside the US, this could be intresting while we wait for the cd to get to us

The more I listen to the samples, and the more I’m excited about this cd…
I think it might be a very nice surprise for all of uspssst… the album’s on http://www.emusic.com/ . I will say no more.
And it sounds much better than I expected. Very electronic, but in a good way.I ordered mine through MovieMusic.com and got mine today. After a first listen it is my least favorite Danny score. I’ll give a few more listens, it might grow on me.
Man, I love “Finale”. It’s like Danny Elfman doing EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, one of my favorite bands (post-rock instrumental style). Not surprisingly, EITS scored Peter Berg’s FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. I haven’t had a chance to listen to much else (the premiere of BOSTON LEGAL is on tonight, folks!) but I have a feeling this is going to be at the very least a unique entry in Elfman’s filmography.

I really like the finale piece as well, the electronic bits are neat, but a little too dissonant for my tastes. I don’t think it will become my favorite score by him, but I don’t think it’s bad either.
I haven’t heard the score outside of the film, but I just wasn’t really into the guitar tunes played during the lighter moments and in the finale. The one cue that I liked both in the film and alone, which plays on the website, is “The Chase.” It really has a frantic feel to it that matches the intense and uneasy tone of the scene and the whole movie, plus I think it employs the most use of the orchestra. Otherwise, it’s just sound design to me.
In case anyone would like to check out the main titles…
