Earth's Mightiest Preview

(http://thescoredesigns.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/marvels-the-avengers-soundtrack-alternative-cover-alan-silvestri/)

----------------------

two more days and it's Assembly time at IMAX on 25th! :D

Thanks!!!!!!!!

BIG THANKS!:)

Thanks !

Thanks, though I'll wait for the Intrada release.

Just finished listening to it. It starts off a little slow, but the good stuff does kick in a little before half way through the score and it sounds frickin epic and awesome. I'm curious to know which track is used during Hulk's attack on the Helicarrier. I'm assuming it's "Seeing, Not Believing", since the title and the monstrous-bombastic sound can easily associate with the Hulk, but the last minute of "Assault" would sound awesome for the fight between Hulk and Thor.

Anyway, awesome score! And I hope we get that extra track "Interrogation" soon; and hopefully a complete score in the future! :D

Thanks for the quick up! I can listen to this before the premiere!

Awesome, thanks!

Christ Almighty, thank you!

thanks!!!!!!!

Thanks! :)

I'm anticipating the CD release, but this is a nice preview.

Isn't this the complete score?

I really doubt it. Most commercially released scores come nowhere near "complete". Or expanded. Or quartered, or...

So, the Intrada release will be mostly this, but with an extra track, and longer tracks? How is that right?

wow this is crucial!!!! thanks alot!!!!! cant wait to see the movie

Thank you very much for this!

much anticipated and much appreciated. thanks

Welcome to the forum and thank you very much for this. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-thumb-up-045.gif

SO GOOD !!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!

Thanks. Already ordered the Intrada release, but this will be good to listen to in the meantime.

i'm surprised Alan Silvestri didn't use a choir/chorus to accompany the score to make it sound even more epic, but so far this is good! can't wait to hear it on the film though for a complete experience.

it has been the longest wait ever for me, lol

2 more days to go before the grand premier on this side of the globe. :D

Thanks for sharing ! You are the man!

Thank You Very much for this!

Thanks!

Many many thanks INDEED for the early preview! :D

Bloody hell, though, what a stinker of a score. I wasn't particularly overjoyed with Captain America but I'd take it over this any day of the week. Alan Silvestri, the man who gave us The Abyss, Roger Rabbit, Back To The Future, Predator, Judge Dredd... WHERE ARE YOU? What is all this monotonous themeless droning?

Thanks, dude!

Muchas gracias :)

god, yes! Thank you!

thanks!

thank you

thanx!

After first hearing I'm disappointed. Typical Silvestri score... so sad. Armstrong should do it

Maybe I will change my mind after seeing movie.

Thank you so much, early listening is always good, although i have the cd ordered lolol

Thanks so much!!

Not bad,at least better than Captain America.

Thanks

Enjoy and Please Say Thanks :)

thanks....m8....

Cool. Thanks man!

Would someone enlighten me on how the bonus track is a BD rip?

And thank you, Collection

I believe the bonus track is the music to the post-credits trailer in "Captain America: The First Avenger", ripped from the bluray. It was added by a fan, and it isn't on any of the retail versions.

i'm looking forward to hear the score in the actual film, here' s hoping a complete version would surfaced soon :)

1 more day to go!

Many thanks!!!

This is the first time I've gotten the score before seeing the movie... I'll have to see if this makes the score during the movie more enjoyable or more boring.

Thanks so very much...I love you : P

Many many thanks INDEED for the early preview! :D

Bloody hell, though, what a stinker of a score. I wasn't particularly overjoyed with Captain America but I'd take it over this any day of the week. Alan Silvestri, the man who gave us The Abyss, Roger Rabbit, Back To The Future, Predator, Judge Dredd... WHERE ARE YOU? What is all this monotonous themeless droning?

Agreed completely! Even my boyfriend said it was generic while I played it yesterday. At least Captain America had a decent theme, although it was under-used and wasn't given the flowery orchestration it could have during the meat of the score (that was left to the march). I'll take Wrath of the Titans over Avengers by far, which is quite a shame. At least Wrath has a solid theme that I remember by the end and start to hum!

Hopefully the material on the Intrada disc improves it somehow.

His Predators soundtrack was pretty solid (certainly better than the movie), even if it was just the old themes remixed with electronics/guitar. So far, this stuff is generic but decent, with the exception of "A Promise," which seems like it has actual effort put into it.

Edit: Having listened to all of it, yep, "generic but competent" describes it best EXCEPT for the beginning of "A Promise," the main "Avengers Theme," and that cue from "Avengers Assemble" that uses Captain America's theme but speeds it up. I do like the bombast he puts into the main theme, but literally more than half of the tracks sound like reusing the same cues over and over.

SAweeet! thanks!

Many thanks for the upload, but I have to agree with those who are disappointed.

Sigh. Still excited for the movie itself, though. :)

I'm sure that the Intrada CD with the longer cues must have a better development on the material. Wheddon is happy of the score, and he knows a lot about scores, so in the movie it must sound incredible.

i'm looking forward to hear the score in the actual film, here' s hoping a complete version would surfaced soon :)

1 more day to go!

The physical release from Intrada will not only have an extra track, but several extended tracks as well!

Avengers Assemble (soundtrack) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_Assemble_(soundtrack))

This is the first time I've gotten the score before seeing the movie... I'll have to see if this makes the score during the movie more enjoyable or more boring.

I've done this many times.

When you actually have seen the film, the soundtrack tends to stand out more as you are able to picture the scene when the music plays.

A good case to me on this is the the last two bond scores from David Arnold. Without seeing the films, the scores tend note to have much to say.

I hear noises during several tracks. do you?

Silvestri wasted opportunity for magnifecent score. I heard only Cap theme, no Hulk, Iron Man or Thor theme - even a few seconds...

On the other hand, I heard Lara Croft and Eraser theme...

Thank you very much!! Can't wait for the movie or to hear this!!!

@jarosHulk28 - that's interesting, thanks for that infos...

i guess i was expecting a bit more than what he did with Captain America TFA to this so in comparison to that i felt a bit disappointed, i love what he did to the Van Helsing score with the added choral touches which added more depths to the score. it's still bombastic orchestral score having been able to utilize 70 or more pieces but perhaps hearing the music side by side with the film might change my current opinion but it remains to be seen. but not the score will deter me from ever seeing this film and enjoy it.

we've booked an IMAX seat 3 weeks prior and that's more wait than i can handle right now, tomorrow i'd say is the big day for us!

Many Thanks !!!

I can already tell I'm not going to like this, given what people are saying about it. I'll still give it a listen, but I just know I won't like it. I was extremely let down when I found out Silvestri was composing this. The only good score if his I can recall is Forrest Gump

I'm sure the music will narrate the movie wonderfully. Joss said so himself. That's the beauty of Silvestri. He still makes a FILM SCORE. Unlike guys like Steve Jablonsky who only compose trailer music for each scene of the movie. It's alway just slow progression with those guys until you get a really epic sound in the end; then they're like "Okay, that sounds good enough!"

I've learned to enjoy certain cues in about every track of this score, so hopefully after seeing it in theaters and hearing the extended cues on the Intrada release, we will all have a better appreciation for it.

well i'll take this particular score any day over Jablonsky's Battleship. as far as score goes among my Silvestri favorites includes, "Back to the Future", "Stuart Little", "Forrest Gump", "Predator", "Van Helsing", "Mouse Hunt", "The Polar Express", "Judge Dredd", and "Captain America TFA".

it would be interesting to find out how the Intrada/Hollywood release will sound like or would differ...


yes, finally tomorrow is the big day!

This is a pretty disappointing score, to be honest. Silvestri's GI:JOE was really great, so surprised he's just running numbers on this score. What a lost opportunity.

Thanks for the mirrors, in case my original upload gets taken down!
BTW it was me who added the bonus track.

Not a fan of Silvestri, but I'm loving this!!! Maybe a bit of chorus, but the Avengers theme is awesome in my book!

Still, maybe John Debney could have make a better job. Or putting Debney, Doyle and Silvestri together!

Thanks!

Thanks for the upload. I'm only listening because I'm a fan of Silvestri and you can't really go wrong with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Still, maybe John Debney could have make a better job. Or putting Debney, Doyle and Silvestri together!

Debney, are you kidding me? He's a fraud of a composer and he basically copy-pasted Silvestri's Predator for Predators. Come on!

thx!!! aaawesome!!

Debney, are you kidding me? He's a fraud of a composer and he basically copy-pasted Silvestri's Predator for Predators. Come on!

Dude, I'm guessing the "copy-pasted" you're speaking of was his intent... It's not like he was ripping it off. :)

Debney, are you kidding me? He's a fraud of a composer and he basically copy-pasted Silvestri's Predator for Predators. Come on!

Iron Man 2 score is quite good, and he's a great composer, but he doesn't get good projects. And yes, the Predators was probably on purpose, he wanted a similar style of score for the movie.

I've heard that score and I'm really sorry to say this music is incredibly trivial.
I usually like Alan Silvestris work but this is beyond the pale, completely uninspired, just loud and boring.
The coarse Thor, the narcissist Tony Stark, the naive Captain America, the schizophrenic Hulk,
this unique group of sociopaths would really deserves a better music. A lost opportunity.

What's about John Ottman? Fantatic work for Astroboy, Fantastic Four and X-Men 2.


Debney, are you kidding me? He's a fraud of a composer and he basically copy-pasted Silvestri's Predator for Predators. Come on!
No, the only good thing about the "Predator" score is the theme, the rest is typically 80's action scoring. Debneys score is quite independent, he cited Silvestri,
but he did not copy his work.

How about Jerry Goldsmith?

;)

Good idea, For "the avengers" he surely interrupts his retirement on cloud seven ...

"I'll depict Thor's hammer with the Blaster Beam"

"I'll depict Captain America with echoplexed horns"

"I'll Depict Hulk with synth percussion"

;)

Good idea, For "the avengers" he surely interrupts his retirement on cloud seven ...

For some reason, that triggered my "No more Jerry" depression three months early... I usually get it around July 21st... :(

I will say that this discussion finally motivated me to track down the Judge Dredd score... And holy shit! How did Silvestri manage that opus for a movie infected with Rob Schneider and for The Avengers he manages to drop this mediocrity? AGHHHH!!!

Seriously though, Judge Dredd is awesome action scoring. If only...

Add my thanks!

i love some of John Debney film scores, i guess he's not just receiving better film score projects lately and you can't blame a composer as he must also adhere to the producers or directors wishes creatively. the Iron Man 2 score IMO is far better than IM but you can't even hardly noticed it in the film being overpowered by the SFX.

as for this score i'm a bit dismay but i love how "The Avengers" theme is simple yet it has that intoxicating effect making you humm along wit it.

" dam, dararam dam ram, dara ram dam dam, dara ram dam dam.....dam dararararam dararam..."

few more hours to go... lol

Debney, are you kidding me? He's a fraud of a composer and he basically copy-pasted Silvestri's Predator for Predators. Come on!

Lair, Cutthroat Island, and The Passion of the Christ would like to have a word with you. (And Silvestri is credited for his theme in "Predators." That one lies solely on the producers.)

Not to mention Lair, that PS3 game. He rocked there!

And I agree with IamBugz about the Avengers theme, it's adictive :D

Silvestri composed a wonderful theme that was completely under-used.

I was extremely let down when I found out Silvestri was composing this. The only good score if his I can recall is Forrest GumpWhat? Who doesn't like Back to the Future?

I really like track #6, Subjugation. Very suspenseful.

Thanks for this!

Thanks a bunch for this!

INTRADA RECORDS will be releasing their own version of this score on May 1 2012. Compared to this 64-minute CD, that score will be a 76-minute CD. Same cues with longer runtimes apparently.
If someone gets their hands on That, then PLEASE Do Share. It will be greatly appreciated.

Craig Armstong should do it. TIH was the best Marvel-movie score. Period.

Awesome - Thanks for that. Saw the film today, and really loved it. It had a few musical cues that I really enjoyed, so I'm looking forward to hearing it.

WOW! just mind blowing!! just fresh from the premier and i'm totally blown away by how Whedon made this film a kick ass and every fanboys dream movie....while i have some disappointments in my initial reaction hearing the music by Silvestri first hand, i have completely change my opinion about it now hearing it side by side with the film. while one may use all technicalities and all to show their dismay with it, to me it just turned moot. the score serve the film well and it has done justice where it is needed.

seeing how legions of folks come out to support it with their content and enjoyment with the film makes it all the more certain that they'll be back for more as i will be, lol

btw(no offense) it thus included trailers for both the bat and the spider, but so far it doesn't look epic compared to what you'll get with this Whedon masterpiece.

Awesome! I wish I didn't have to wait until next week to see it here. I'm still very excited about the film.

Can you hear the score well for the majority of the film?

Grabbing, thanks much.

Thanks SO much!!

Craig Armstong should do it. TIH was the best Marvel-movie score. Period.

Agreed.
As for The Avengers, I thought Silvestri's score to be barely noticeable in the movie. I mean it doesn't really stand out, except maybe the main theme. And sadly it lacks an epic opening credits, a la Superman or X-Men.

I am remarkably unimpressed with Silvestri's music, as a stand alone score. Where has the composer of "Predator" and "Back to the Future gone?" Jablonsky's "Battleship" score, while not one for the ages, works far better. Ironic thing is "Avengers" which is undoubtedly the better movie has a weaker score than "Battleship" which looks awful.

Awesome! I wish I didn't have to wait until next week to see it here. I'm still very excited about the film.

Can you hear the score well for the majority of the film?

surprisingly yes i did! maybe it's because it's an IMAX with really crystal clear sound, lol... IMO it may work better being a music accompaniment to film rather than a stand alone but nevertheless it's not Silvestri's best effort but it's still good and commendable. so i stand by what i said that it serve the film well and it's a good score altogether.

while i adore some of Jablonsky's other works(Steamboy, Transformers, D-War...) "Battleship" IMO is a loose, lame, clone of his Transformers DOTM score.[COLOR="Silver"]

if you have doubts about the score? have faith in the film, go out and watch it and you'll surely have one heck of a thrill ride from start to finish. then talk about the score later you might even changed your opinion about it.

this film rocks!

nuff said

Thanks for the score, i loved the main theme, but it's too short you just start getting into it and it's over. :(

I'm able to pick out the parts Alan has used in the Abyss and Eraser and Judge Dredd.

Cool. Thanks.

Thank You! i am excited to see the movie and hear the score!

Which track is used for Hulk's Helicarrier break out; and did they use any other of the hero's themes in the movie?

Which track is used for Hulk's Helicarrier break out; and did they use any other of the hero's themes in the movie?

unfortunately i can't recall which is which as i was blown away by the spectacle unfolding before my very eyes, lol...but i thought i might have heard some resemblance or parts of it from Thor's theme, not really sure though...one of the same reason i am going to watch it again maybe this Sunday and it's already breaking records here....

Best ever!

Best ever!

Can't agree more, it was so amazing to see them all together and apart from Cap's noticeable theme I remember hearing some material resembling Thor but I lost any attention to the score once the final battle started!

Thanks so much!

DAMN! Sounds so promising!

yes, indeed that final battle had me almost cheering up like a child watching his Saturday morning cartoon fest.

darn, can't wait to catch it again! :D

And I've heard that just the scene with Hulk on the Helicarrier was even worth the ticket.

Alrigth, Intrada released samples of their release, and the big noticeable difference in the the sample tracks they offered was in "Tunnel Chase" which sounds even better than the original mix. There's a slightly different mix towards the end of "Assemble" too. Can't wait to hear the rest of it in a couple days! :D

AVENGERS, THE (SCORE) (http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.7566/.f?sc=2)

Btw, just ordered it, so it makes a nice birthday present for me today!!!

First physical CD I've bought myself in a long time. Last one was TIH.

i was about to get this ost... and also that 3rd cover artwork dosn't look right

The score makes much more sense after watching this amazing flick. Saw it 4 times in 3 days. It's frikking unbelievable. And I liked the score a lot better afterwards. The only downside of the score is that album edits are similar to film edits, which makes the action pause a lot. May have been better if Silvestri presented the music in suites.

the same thing happened to me, i get to appreciate the score better after hearing it side by side with the film itself. and that makes it more interesting to hear the extended version of some tracks in the physical cd release version.

Saw it again last night in 3D which I definitely recommend and again going back to the final battle - JUST UNBELIEVABLE!

And to answer jaroshulk28 - There's a surprising Hulk vs. ......... on the helicarrier, I sat forward the whole time!!

The score sounds a bit more interesting on the Intrada samples. You can actually hear the various parts of the orchestra. I'd be very happy if they got a much more dynamic mix for their release.

My CD won't arrive for another week. Need someone to upload that one ASAP. : )

FYI: The Avengers Blu-Ray is already available for pre-orders through Amazon's Germany branch. Release date is September 30th.

Thanks! What an entertaining movie and an awesome Silvestri score!

i have seen it again this time on 2D, i still can't get enough of this film, lol

although it is best viewed via IMAX or 3D it still proves a big hit as the big malls open up more theaters to accommodate demands with folks lining up to see it.

I'm going to see it in regular 2D. I don't really like 3D or IMAX that much, except for when directors really use the IMAX camera like The Dark Knight Rises.

Yeah but IMAX theaters have much better sound than regular ones, so for the sound only it's worth it usually.

Great work by Silvestri

Agreed. The speakers in IMAX theaters are quite good. I still don't want to let Hollywood off the hook from providing quality sound mix on films in regular releases. Soon everything will be released in IMAX, at least most of the big films, and I don't want to spend the extra money on every film. I think it will be a lot longer before every big film uses an IMAX camera and even then certain ones are better in imax than others.

I am curious how people who saw it in IMAX or 3D (or both) compare the use of those formats to other recent films.

we don't have much IMAX theaters yet and going there means you really have to do an extra effort to do so like driving 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic, tickets are also relatively higher compared to both the Digital 3D or the regular 2D. but as a huge fan of the comic book team character it's like a dream come true to me seeing it come to life on the big screen so naturally IMAX is my best option.

but as a casual movie fan, it is okay to see it on 2D (as i have seen it) but in my case i enjoyed the fact that the 3D offers a better view of the film. night scenes can't hardly be noticed on the part where it's too dark (well maybe it could just be the film that had been sent on that particular theater, not sure though but if you have the means so why not be generous for once, lol) while better details can be seen on the much bigger screen size being the IMX. there's a lot of great scenes that deserves to be seen on a bigger and clearer picture add that with a crystal clear sound then voila, you have an exciting and enjoyable date on this years much talked about superhero ensemble of the year. :)

just my opinion from really being happy how the movie turned out.

and you'll have it in just 3 more days!

Intrada releases their CD today!

Hehe well I don't have to drive far to find IMAX because my local theater has one, although it is the digital IMAX screen not the huge dome IMAX. I've had this specific IMAX theater available since Spiderman 3 came out way back when. Thanks for your input.

Thank you.

i've tried looking for a cd on a local record store nearby and to no avail it still wasn't available...anybody had the intrada version? is there a big difference at all compared to the digital release?

Had a quick wander through the score and couldn't find it, but can anyone tell me if the piece of music from the beginning of this scene is on the score?

EDIT: Never mind, found it. About 1:20 into the track "One Way Trip". :)

It is slightly longer, I think around 10 minutes. From the samples it sounds like a better mix as well. I doubt you are going to find it at a local physical shop though, you'll probably have to order it online.

Thanks for sharing! :D

GOT MY CD TODAY!

Sounds superb on the surround sound and the expanded tracks so far sound GREAT. "Tunnel Chase" is excellent! Listening to "Stark Goes Green" right now.

I really want a CD, why am I so poor!!!??
Still, if just one FLAC link exists, I'll be happy

Cool bedsheets.

as far as i can tell, only piece of music missing from this release is the piece when Banner is being led by the little girl to the hut where he meets black widow, anyone been able to find this anywhere?
Aside from that, the beginning of the first track 'Arrival' is used several times throughout the movie, but i believe that the rest of the score is included in this release.

EDIT: Seems there's another track 'interrogation' which is appearing on some listings somewhere which is not included in this release - the tracklisting on this is in chronological order that it is in the movie, and interrogation seems to be in the right place, so maybe that track is all we need? anyone have any luck finding it? It appears in the 19 track version as track 4.

cool, got my cousin to look for a cd on the record bars in the malls nearest to their school to get one for me, i just hope it was already available there...

great @jarosHulk, you have one now :D

Agreed completely! Even my boyfriend said it was generic while I played it yesterday. At least Captain America had a decent theme, although it was under-used and wasn't given the flowery orchestration it could have during the meat of the score (that was left to the march). I'll take Wrath of the Titans over Avengers by far, which is quite a shame. At least Wrath has a solid theme that I remember by the end and start to hum!

Gotta say, when i heard it at first i didn't like it atall, though it has grown on me, and i've found myself both humming it and listening to it daily the past few days.
But i still think it's a lazy composition from Silvestri, wish he had come up with the same themes, but done more with the orchestrations - could have assigned different instruments to each character, like a electric guitar for iron man, choir for thor, trumpets for Cap, and maybe drums or percussion for The Hulk - then when each of them was on screen, use their assigned instrument more, so that when they finally do assemble during the climactic battle, all on screen, it would be a complete piece of music, but no, generic, lazy, silvestri. I wept when i read his name on the first posters, and I still wish they had gone with someone else, but i do think it's at least better than what he did on Captain America.

Great! Any chance of a rip in flac or 320? the CD is supposed to be longer than the donwload version by about 10 mins according to different places?

Thanks A Lot

Awesome ideas on the music, that would have been sweet. Yeah, I wish he had weaved the themes in the action music here and given it some motifs at least to weave together. The more I listen to lush orchestral scores and recognize what those composers can do with the orchestra, the more I miss it when it isn't there. I listened to The Red Canvas again the other day and I wish there was some of that style of action writing here. It would really have propelled it to new heights.

I also would be interested in a rip of the CD, perhaps the score will be more enjoyable thanks to what sounds like better mastering by Intrada.

agreed! i would love to have him at least incorporated some choral chants / chorus to make it sound more epic or grander in scale. (Anime & VGM composers specially Japanese composers are great with that form) :D

anyway it's alright for me. it works well on the film and that's a big consolation i guess.

I've been listening to Kid Icarus Uprising and that is the perfect example of a quality score I was missing here. Grab it in the VGM section. Some amazing orchestral work, including some great action writing.

i would gladly check it out. thanks! :D

I'll try to upload it in both. I'm not great at doing that stuff, but I'll try. The re-edits are pretty good for the most part. The only one I don't like is "A Little Help". As for the booklet, it's great. Joss Whedon actually gives a deep heart-felt 2 page analysis on Silvestri's scoring. I'll try to post pics later.

Great! Thanks

thanks in advance! that will tide me over till i get me my own cd which is not certain yet as it might still be unavailable as of this writing. :)

I'm waiting too !!!!! Thanks

I too would like to see an upload of the Intrada CD. I downloaded the digital version(was gonna buy it on Amazon or iTunes but I might hold out for the Intrada if it's worth it)and I kinda liked the score. I was hoping to hear Captain America's march theme a bit since Alan Silvestri scored TFA as well, but I only heard little snippits of it. I'm hoping in the extended CD they'll be more of it. Or is that it for the entire score? Anyone know?

Alright, working on it right now.

cant wait for it ;)

Huge thanks JarosHulk :D ....any chance you could post the cover scans as well?

Just got back from seeing this movie, which was a pretty fun flick. An interesting observation: the moments that got the biggest applause from the audience were all accompanied by Silvestri's Avengers theme. The music is used to great effect, and I was glad to see that the credits were kicked off with score material rather than some random pop song.

OMG, applause from the audience? That's always the worst thing that could happen in a movie theater...put your hands together in your own time and place...I say..

But it was fun, was it? 3D was pretty good and shots were really made in a way that 3D dit have an extra effect to the whole experience...
Music was nice, but need to hear it apart from the movie!

Thanks!

its unavailable :'(

Thanks a lot!

I'm assuming mostly everyone is digging this OST a lot more after watching the film over a hundred times :D

You could be right because I knew someone who is now into film score because of this film and the music. Even my grandson actually bought a cd of the soundtrack and the score album.

awesome

Groovy

thank you

Thanks for the share!!

Thanks

Thanks

thanks :3

thanks you

Thank You
