I cannot imagine a better collaboration than the one I had with Danny. It is an unarguable fact that he is a musical genius. --Paul Haggis

Danny Elfman is a composer I find to be exceptionally unpredictable. Seeming more at home in Tim Burton's quirky world (eg Alice In Wonderland, and that of films based on superheroes (eg Batman: Original Motion Picture Score and Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Score), some of his more mainstream action/thriller scores have seemed a little bland (eg Wanted). That said, I can categorically say that Elfman is on fire in this score. Quirky is out the window, and instead the score is dominated by some fantastic string and piano writing. There is some electronic element to the score, although this usually compliments rather than overpowers the orchestra. The piano writing was what caught me off guard as it is not something I really associate with Elfman - and it is sublime. The sense of pace and rhythm is fantastic as well, and utilises the orchestra for this rather than bland electronics beats and synth samples. I didn't care much for the two Moby songs at the end of the album, but if you are a Moby fan I guess they would be perfectly acceptable. There are still 64 minutes of Elfman's music before Moby, so you do feel like you get your money's worth.
Overall, this was an absolutely fantastic score by Elfman which took me completely by surprise. The fusion of the electronics with the orchestra was superb, and something I would usually have associated more with film composers John Powell or Harry Gregson-Williams. If you are a fan of Powell or HGW, I am certain you would love this release. If you are aware of some of Elfman's other more quirkier works, do not let that put you off - he has pulled something fantastic out of the bag and I would hope to hear more of this style from him in the future. An easy 5*.
