Well what can i say? This is perhaps the best Doctor Who score to date, as has been said before there is not a single bad track on the two disc set.
There is, however, a manufacturing fault with disc one (track 9) which is currently being remastered and the replacement disc being re-issued by silvascreen towards the end of November.
Contact Silvascreen on their website to obtain a replacement disc
Enjoy this quality score and hurry up and release the Doctor Who Proms 2010 score!!!

The spirit of the resurrected Doctor Who endures in this latest soundtrack. There are very few tracks I would skip, and that's saying something given the huge number of tracks on the CD (thank you Murray, THANK YOU!!!). I definitely agree with an earlier reviewer, that this is the best soundtrack since Series 3 (a few more listening sessions will be required before I can ascertain if it is actually an improvement). I think it's fair to say that a soundtrack deserves a full five stars when hearing it repeatedly brings an uncontrollable smile to one's face.
One of the things I like most about the series 5 music is how Murray Gold slipped in a few tunes from the Specials music, essentially 'bridging' Series 4 and 5. For example, listen to the beginning of "The Sun's Gone Wibbly" from series 5 and then "The World Waits" from the Specials soundtrack. My inner-nerd squeals in delight when I recognise familiar tunes. At the same time, the new music sounds very distinct.
I think a real mark of the quality of a soundtrack is when it contains music that you didn't notice during the film/program, but absolutely love listening to on its own. This is the case for tracks such as "A Lonely Decision", and "Victory of the Daleks". Murray should also be commended for tracks such as "The Time of Angels". Normally I don't like intended-to-be-creepy music so much (with the exception of "Blink" from Doctor Who series 3), but the Angels track is just SO creepy. Doctor Who doesn't really scare me but this music would if I ever listened to it at night alone with the lights off (which I will never, ever do).
Of course, the soundtrack's crowning achievement is the new theme, titled under "I Am The Doctor". What an incredible tune! It encapsulates all the epicness, mystery and joy of Doctor Who. I'm still a little sad that the old Doctor's Theme has been decommissioned (Murray, if it made a few returns in later music, just every now and then, that would make my life), but "I Am The Doctor" is the perfect successor. I love how it's revisited in several tracks, without getting tiresome.
The only thing that prevents the series 5 soundtrack from being perfect is the omission of one of my favourite bits of music, from the "Amy's Choice" episode - there's a really rousing piece which plays while the Doctor is in the butcher's shop and he's trying to escape from the murderous geriatrics before he falls asleep again. I mourn its absence...

Whilst I disagree with one of the other reviewers who said that the music from the Specials was non descript, I have to agree that this is definitely better. The previous CD, taken from the Specials had loads of good tracks on, but some of it was a little too familiar.
This CD is full of new sounds. A new doctor, with a new tardis deserves a new score and Murray Gold has really delivered here. Plenty of variety and some really excellent themes. The opening titles have been given a tasty reworking and I love the new themes for Amy and the Doctor. Very memorable and evoke the TV series very nicely. There are many other tunes which capture the mood of the series but are just as good as musical pieces in their own right.
I used to think that the music for series 3 was the best, but I have changed my mind. If you only buy one Doctor Who soundtrack make it this one. However you really should get the others as well, as they are all good. Oh and while your about it you should check out the two soundtracks from Torchwood, you should enjoy those too.

Somewhat disappointing
I am a Doctor Who fan. I greatly enjoyed Series 5, and Murray Gold's score. But these CD's fail to deliver, as many of the most memorable parts are not included. Read more

Easy-Listening music from Doctor Who
One of the most important ingredients in Doctor Who has been its incidental music as well as the famous theme at the beginning and end of each episode. Read more

Good for background music
It only has a short version of the main doctor who theme tune. It is nice background music but in my opinion nothing outstanding on it. However I'm not a great music lover

Great even if for only a few songs
Whilst you can probably remember most of the music when you listen to the CD the chances are there are only a few you're likely to listen to on a regular basis. Read more
