Don't want to listen to it before the release of the movie. What's the general consensus on the soundtrack?
Great, good, meh?

Well it's certainly good, but I think it's great. Not only since Williams' score is so printed in peoples minds (ears) but because it also couldn't sound to much like Batman you know. It has to be it's own sound and Zimmer succeeded in that point. It has small parts but it can also go really big. However, I do think it's the best to hear it first once you see the film in theater, the music gets better combined with images and vice versa, they're made for each other. I'm just someone who couldn't wait to hear it :P Already sold on the trailers music so I though, fuck it imma listening it 8-) But good for you though.

I still think Zimmer could have done better but I guess this will pass. But the way the piano played in the beginning of the trailer sounded better than the version on the score. And there's horrendous distortion in the bass at one point in the Terraforming track.

Can't find a video of it to post, but the track "Earth" is just glorious.

The soundtrack is absolutely sensational when you are sitting in a theatre and watching the movie. Zimmer's outdone himself again! :clap:
