Like the film, this soundtrack can be noticeably differentiated by the setting. Music from district twelve is often minimal strings, the capital is rich and loud and the arena music a mixture of the two.
Particularly standout tracks include "Horn of Plenty", the capitol anthem which plays over the chariot ride. This is a triumphant, loud choral piece that truly captures the moment in the film and is great listening on its own, Searching for Peeta, which makes good use of a motif established for Katniss as a hunter in the track "Katniss Afoot" and Muttations.
There are only a couple of tracks that lose something without the images of the film to back them up (Reaping Day doesn't quite induce stomach clenching nausea the same way as the moment on screen, although perhaps this is a benefit!), but these are easily overlooked by the quality of the remainder of the album, which is one I'd recommend for fans of the books and film alike.

After loving the books and thoroughly enjoying the film, I was eager to download the score. James Newton Howard has done a fantastic job and created a perfect score for the film. As a massive fan of movie scores however, I was a little disapointed that some of the tracks were so short and that there was not more of this incredible score. Still gets 5 stars though as I can't stop listening to it and it has become the perfect background music to re-read the books to.
Notable favourites include Rue's Farewell, Healing Katniss and Horn of Plenty.

The Hunger Games isn't an action epic and those looking for a dramatic, LOTR style soundtrack will be dissapointed. That said, I think that this score is utterly perfect for this film. Some of the tracks are a little like wine - complex, deep and such that I don't want to listen to them too often for fear of devaluing them. Every track perfectly complements the part of the film that goes with it, helping to accentuate the emotion and tension in every scene.
My only gripe is that several pieces from the film have been borrowed from other sources and are thus not present in this CD; however that's no fault of people who put this CD together.
