CAN SOMEONE DO A MIRROR FOR THIS PLEASE

Well I'll just give my honest opinion of this : It's a barely listenable, awful mix of noises, which isn't worthy of being called a 'score'. Way worse than "Total Recall", which is saying something.

Thanks for the upload though, I'm only talking about the quality (or rather lack of) of the album, of course.

yeah...have to agree with bogus123. Thanks for uploading...but its terrible. Welcome to the end of film music I say....tragic

is this real? i don't see it on itunes or amazon

Welcome to the end of film music I say....tragic

Like Battleshit ...

thanks anyway ;)

...its terrible. Welcome to the end of film music I say....tragic

You just summed it like the way it sounded. totally horrendous!!

Before i forgot, thank you for sharing it ironhide. At least i got to hear how repulsive this score was.

I have to agree what an atrocious score! but I have to disagree with what was said about Total Recall, I enjoyed that score it had some really good pieces of music to it and it was just sounds and garbage like Dredd is.

Indeed sounds like shit.

yup its total shite i just hope the movie is much better

i've tried the sampler that came out earlier and got dismayed about the sound and so right at the third track i immediately stop listening as it has become unbearable to take. and seeing the reactions here made me realize i'm not the only one, lol :D

oh well i still have hopes for the film though the score, i mean sound effects sounds terrible.

Have to join the "It's total crap" crowd. Actually what it sounds like to me more than anything is an acid trip version of Tron.

Judging by the music, I'm really wondering what the film is going to be like.

I think what is more amazing than how something so terrible could ever be produced is the fact that the entirety of FFS agrees on it.

Well clearly this will be the sort of Crank style film. The style of music doesn't really surprise me. Samples alone were enough to save me from downloading it.

Judging by the music, I'm really wondering what the film is going to be like.

Oh I see what is going on here.

Erm, I enjoy it... The actual music isn't that bad, but the mix is atrocious and sounds amateurish to me.

Still, it appeals to the John Murphy / Industrial fan in me.

karl urban as dredd, only thing i know of him is he palys doctor mccoy in the new trek movies, cant imagine the original dr mccoy (de-forrest kelly) playing dredd lol, i know its a move away from stallone's judge dredd movie but did hey have to really go with this score, im not saying someone like zimmer,horner or even newton howard should of, would of or could of done a better score but please please please something better than this if they ever do another one

Thanks for the share ironhide,
This score is ok but i must admit the first track i did skip halfway through due to blood dripping onto my shoulder from my ear lol.
This film was never gonna be a massive blockbuster it will do ok at the box office as for the score it was always gonna be diffirent due to the gritty setting and story that surrounds dredd.
So with that said i think this score works really well with what ive seen anyway but only time can tell.

I have to agree what an atrocious score! but I have to disagree with what was said about Total Recall, I enjoyed that score it had some really good pieces of music to it and it was just sounds and garbage like Dredd is.

Just getting this now - thanks Ironhide.

Gotta say, i hated the new total recall score, but thought it was ok after seeing it in the movie, will see what this is like, either way i'm seeing the movie on friday as i need to do a review, so will see how it sounds in it.

guess its one of those TGWTDG deals
even though I liked the score there

I hope a sound like Silvestri did with the previous Dredd movie, it was fantastic that score

This isn't the best D&B soundtrack i've heard ut its not the worst either.

Silvestri.

Bleh, definitely not my cup of tea :/ a shame really, alan silvestri must be laughing at this attempt though! xD

Judging by the music, I'm really wondering what the film is going to be like.

I think most A-list composers get to screen before committing. So if I'm watching a trailer for something with a budget and see that it can't attract a name I recognize, I usually take that as a sign that more talented peeps have declined for a reason. Of course there are exceptions.

Ditto Silvestri's Dredd, though. Love 'Judgement Day' cue, could listen over and over.

Thanks for the post :)

only thing i know of him is he palys doctor mccoy in the new trek movies

You forgot LotR and Pathfinder

But damn, I really wanna listen to this now and see what all the hate is about!! Lol

Being a fan of industrial music I have to say that I like this, but as a film score it's a little rough. However I will hold off my judgment until I hear it used in the actual movie, which I hear is fantastic.

The soundtrack are very hardcore!
Pure Industrial & Techno!
So futuristic!!

can someone post a mirror cuz rapidshare isn't working :(

Yeah, digging this.

It's like the illegitimate love child of Fight Club and The Social Network scores.

Sorry, world, on behalf of Great Britain. We can do much better than this.

Apologies accepted Great Britain. We thank you for "March of the Athletes". It's a fair trade.

Well,thank you.I guess....... :)

This "score" is the worst thing to happen to music since the bagpipes...

Truly one of the worst film scores ever created.

Have any of you seen the movie yet?

Have you seen some of the awesome slo-mo effects in 3D, I hate 3-D but I have to admit I liked some of the effects and the music works great within this realm. As far as sitting around your Great Britain fireplaces with a glass of sherry/ale and listening it probably doesn't work.

So many better movies coming out around the same time so I'll pass on Dredd, certainly not paying for the 3D!! Glad you enjoyed it though.

I saw it at Comic-Con and I was surprised by it I liked it.

In addition since I have seen the film already I can say that I like the soundtrack, although without seeing the film I would pass it off as useless noise.

nvm it is thanks so much for this!!!

Thanks to Ironhide for the original post and a thanks as well to WildwoodPark for the alternate link.

As far as sitting around your Great Britain fireplaces with a glass of sherry/ale and listening it probably doesn't work.

What are you even saying?

Thank you very much :)

Had to check this out to see what all of the fuss was about. First track in, it reminds me of the Descent II soundtrack, which was Industrial. Not so good for a film score in my opinion. If this was featured in a video game, I'd wouldn't complain, though. Then again, I like Industrial, but there's no way you can convince me this is going to be better than the score for the 1995 film.

Thanks for the up!

It might be a bit premature, but I'm only 1:40 into the first track and I'm digging it already

total shite! Thanks for the link though......stay as far as possible from this junk, worse score of the year along with :

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance by David Sardy, Total Recall by Harry Gregson williams, Bourne: Legacy by James Newton Howard and Safe House by Ramin Djawadi stay awayyyyyyyyyyy from this crap!

it's definately not the usual film soundtrack. Without having seen the movie, I used to read the comic books, IMHO it could fit to the tone of Judge Dredd. The comics were rather underground and punkish in a way and the soundtrack has similar qualities.
Maybe it's not a stroke of genius, but far from being the worst soundtrack or the death of filmmusic. And Paul Leonard Morgan comes across as pretty down-to-earth when interviewed about his approach. No talking about how he wanted to re-invent filmmusic or take it to entirely new levels, just some plain good old insight into why he did what he did.

Just back from seeing this and this works really well in the film. Perfectly fits the tone and style of the film I think.

is there a mp3 out yet?

Just back from seeing this and this works really well in the film. Perfectly fits the tone and style of the film I think.

Agree, wasn't impressed when i first heard it, but it suits and even adds to the grungy feel to the movie, it's a great accompanyment. I've listened to it again since and enjoyed it more now that i know the tone it's going for.

Works with the film, and is totally appropriate to the tone, environment and feel. Works for me.

I love this score. Its progressive. What does everyone want for Dredd? Some boring ass repetitive John Williams shit? Those same old score tropes over and over? Y'all must have hated Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Book of Eli, The Social Network, Scott Pilgrim, Max Payne 3... its evolution. This is a total evolution of the great synth work in the realm of Carpenter's 80s work. Synth scores and atmospheric tonal electronica isn't for everyone, but to call it shit just displays a complete and utter lack of comprehension of the work that went into the score mixing itself. Read up on how they constructed the slo-mo track, its truly amazing.

Alan Silvestri may be laughing at this, but at least this entire film will be laughing at that piece of crap Stallone train wreck. Dredd lives in a different version of the world in a different time, its rough, ugly and brutal... the music behind that has to reflect it to be effective. Silvestri would cheapen the whole vibe. That whole vibe his music worked for is pretty much gone from film these days anyway.

Now that's a clever and sarcastic remark of what is entirely wrong with film scores these days (and the whole film industry for that matter). Not many can have such great insight into the world of music and completly understand how much work, effort, passion and ambition it takes to write something like Star Wars and how little effort it takes to produce mindless, musically dead garbage like Dredd. It would be horrifying if people actually think like this, but thank god you're just exaggerating.

Oh look, the old explain someone else's comment that disagrees with your thoughts and claim they're being sarcastic for them routine. Cute. A remark of what is entirely wrong with trying to converse with anyone on the internet. Way to champion closed minded living in the past behavior. But thank god you're just a troll.

How do you know how much effort went to this? Because it's not a fully orchestral score doesn't mean that it's bad, that's a insult to the composer. And that's what's really wrong with film music this days. Everything has to be Williams or Zimmer, and that's being close-minded and snobbish. Film music can be every kind of genre, symphonic, electronic, ethnic, minimalistic, etc. If everything we're pure symphonic and thematic sound like Williams or pure electronic sound like Zimmer, film music would be boring and repetitive.

This score is amazing and finally something sort-of-new in the score-world.

Looking forward to the FLAC-Score and some extended music some day... if anyone has it, please post :-)

While this score may fully served the film well. As a stand alone music album this is nothing more than noises and effects not worthy to be called a score! There is nothing really wrong with the world or the film score industry because it all boils down to preferences and please there's more great to film score than downsizing them into likeness with two person and doing such is the real insult to all great composers, present and past, known and unknown.

I think Klnerfan hit the nail on the head there. It is a problem with the film industry that is polluting its collaborative / dependent fields...such as film music. Films today, and most people under 25 would not be able to appreciate this fully (Im sure I'll get some whines about ageism here)...but films today from hollywood are essentially...total shite. From Dark Knight to Total Recall to Dredd and so many forgettable productions. Pirates 3 was probably the last film from Hollywood that had any sense of story and wonder. Films today are hard, cold, soulless, devoid of content and story development, no irony, no insight...and most of all no sense of humour. This lack of brains is reflected in noisy scores like this one. Record the sound of me pissing in a lavatory and play it backwards...theres a film score! Total Recall for me is a great reflection of our times. JUst compare the original with this pathetic remake. Wheres the humour? The brains? The irony? The imagination? Silvestri's style would not suit this Dredd for sure, but an orchestral score would add some soul to it.

Do you really believe that? Do you really believe that only currently movies have been awful and devoid of artistic merit? The industry has had bad movies and scores for as long as it has existed, and people have paid to see said bad movies for that same amount of time. Time only remembers the best or the ones that have made such an impact so as to be remembered for their merits. The past has had just as many bad movies as we have today, and it's blind nostalgia to not see otherwise.

By the way, ironhide, thanks for the upload.

After seeing the movie, I have to say... the "music" is barely noticeable. Being what it is, this kind of score is sort of melded with the sound effects, noises, explosions, gunfights and the like.

So, what's the point of having a score at all, I wonder.

The movie is very good and entertaining by the way.

Whoever authored this seems to have done it by hiding a microphone above a toilet at a truck stop, keeping it there for about a week, then randomly cutting and pasting the loudest of the recorded sounds together.

What does everyone want for Dredd? Some boring ass repetitive John Williams shit? Those same old score tropes over and over?

Dredd lives in a different version of the world in a different time, its rough, ugly and brutal... the music behind that has to reflect it to be effective.

:this: Agreed.

:this: Agreed.

Boring John Williams bullshit? Are you retarded?

Yet i would bet this composer could only dreamed off what the maestro had accomplished in his whole lifetime! It seems this heap of crap had garner much attention here that it starts stinking, just pure B.S.

Pardon my French.

Well, for my two cents, it fits perfectly within the film, but as a stand alone listen? Yeah, I'll pass. Thnaks for the post.

Boring John Williams bullshit? Are you retarded?

Lol. Seriously. But all in all, it's just a different style.

Opinions, opinions. Maybe 6-7 years ago I would think whatta heck is dis shet?! Not now. Have learned to appreciate many things since then. The score IS noizy and heavily industrial and hardcore, and I'm not even going to say that it fits well with the film, it's just a really good score in its own right.

As someone said once: "It all depends on how much you willing to let it work on you".

Like Mike Shinoda's THE RAID, Paul Leonard-Morgan's DREDD is pretty awful on its own term for me. I admit that I feel a bit refreshing for the first 2 or 3 tracks but then the rest is just boring, noisy and hyperactive - it apparently makes this year's scores like Steve Jablonsky's BATTLESHIP and Harry Gregson-Williams' TOTAL RECALL look better.
Don't forget, the orchestra still exists because it can add some depth and emotion to the score in long run as well as the thematic development. Speaking of the sound of the future, I think Daft Punk's TRON: LEGACY and Craig Armstrong's IN TIME is much more like it. They can balance both cool sound design and melodic pleasure nicely. I also admire Nathan Johnson's LOOPER as an innovative and memorable effort, and it's all contrary to this DREDD.
Anyway, everyone's taste in music is different so I'm just saying.

The raid...what did you remind me now...awful, awful awful!

Just seen the movie and I really like the score with the film. Brillant. Personally before anyone judges the score based on it's own merit they should watch the film and see for themselves. Otherwise it seems pretty silly to argue to me.

I've seen the movie and it is still utterly noisy, messy and absolutely rubbish.

the score is rather dreadful (pun intended ; ), but it works really well inside the movie for the most part.

I loved the score. Its very different. I really liked synthesizers and beats. I don't know why people call this as terrible and awful score. I think people need to watch the movie before listening to the score. Because some people may like this score after viewing the film and would be better understanding that how score works on album as well as in film.

If you need a movie to like the score then it has failed it's secondary function of being good music.

the score is rather dreadful (pun intended ; ), but it works really well inside the movie for the most part.

I agree. But as a stand alone album it's still dreadful and i would prefer to call it sound effects or part of the sound effects not music at all!

The movie is ok though. The music - bah nevermind!

thanks for this!

The score fits the movie very well. The movie is good- go see it. Way better than Total Recall. :)

I really enjoyed the movie and the soundtrack. True, it wasn't a great film, but it was very entertaining.

Thanks WildwoodPark! :)

Thank you very much, WildwoodPark!

The thing is..when I saw the the film I didn't even notice the score. It's only since i've heard it again via a friend that I've come to enjoy it. It's certainly not your typical score, but i really dig the industrial sounds. It's more of a game soundtrack to me. I can tell you that it fits perfectly with shooting a bunch of guys ingame! Thanks for sharing it :)

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but Dredd was on TV the other night, and as I have no life, I decided to sequence the soundtrack in order to the film. There are a few pieces of short music that are either not on the album, or just portions of the album tracks (such as Anderson's Theme, used for the Skate park scene) but aside from that, it's pretty much this:

1, Mega City One
2. Anderson's Theme
3. It's All A Deep End
4. The Rise Of Ma-Ma
5. Slo-Mo
6. The Plan
7. Lockdown
8. Hiding Out
9. Cornered
10. Mini-Guns
11. Undefined Space
12. Judgement Time
13. Bad Judges
14. Any Last Requests
15. Judge, Jury And Executioner
16. Ma-Ma's Requiem
17. Order In The Chaos
18. She's A Pass (End Credits)

(Bad Judges is also reprised after She's A Pass for the end credits)

Apocalyptic Wasteland, You Look Ready, Kay Escapes and Taking Over Peach Trees all do not feature in the film at all.
The scene where Kay does escape, the music used doesn't appear on the album. Likewise with Dredd's first encounter with a 'Bad Judge'

So there you go - I'm sure you can all rest easy now, knowing this!

Can someone reupload please?

Status.....Uploading finished.....

HERE (http://ipkill.org/nh7p) is the re-up, the password is notstallone , probally this is so funny you will like this post....
