Well, I’m listening to it now, and it isn’t THAT interesting. Some good tracks, some that seem clearly modelled on PREDATOR

Sounds to me like typical Silvestri. So far more or less all of his scores lose breath on album half way through. His lack of theme development and variations. That doesn’t bother me in the movie. But I always thought, that might be one of the reasons, why Silvestri unlike John Williams or James Newton Howard or James Horner never wrote music for the concert hall. Btw. one thing that puts Silvestri for me at the side of Elmer Bernstein. Super strong themes, little variation and an affinity to big band jazz.
