i just watched it (I obviously don't care haha), but yeah if I was on blackout I'd change the channel if any commercials for this film come on.

Why the long case?

now this I'm really anxious to hear impressions on.
Goldsmith's score for ALIEN is phenomenal. I'm expecting something different here, but hopefully just as effective. Music will be critical in this film for me.

okay holy fuck this shit is creepy. So far I like it, it's sublime with heavy emphasis on low, segmented bass chords. The second track is seriously impressing me.
edit: oh god DAMN there was a definite hint at Horner's sudden brass hits from ALIENS. No mistake.

Don't get your hopes up. This composer has done nothing to write home about.

as far as I'm concerned he's doing an excellent job so far.

First track. Very good, although the second track is much better.

I haven't been very fond of Streitenfeld's stuff either but this is doing the trick.

ohhhh yeah this definitely belongs alongside the previous scores just fine. Hints of Horner here and there and some very cool, unique electronic stuff is really making this a great listen so far.

Did you listen to the track posted? It's good.
No. Aside from a once in a moon occurrence, I won't listen to any score before seeing the movie.

Me too. Like Solo my hopes for this soundtrack weren't very high, but I am more than pleasantly surprised/impressed with it.
James Horner style brass runs all over the place. I am pleased.

The music tells me one thing for sure: this is one fucking intense movie.

Then honestly I don't think you have something good to stand on from which to comment because there's a sample available in front of you. Needless to say I don't share your pessimism.
He was commenting on the composer's previous work, not passing premature judgement on a score he admitted he hasn't heard yet.

My favorite thing about this score is, again, the emphasis on low bass electronic stuff. It's really cool and sounds neat.

Good man. The only time I can remember doing so is for John Carter.

I love hearing scores in advance. When I'm watching the movie for the first time and familiar music starts playing, I dunno, something about it gives me more of a connection to it.
I also hold movie scores in really high regard and its one of the elements about a new film that I get really excited for. Also helps ease the wait.

Correct. I was trying to say poorly, it seems that his pessimism wasn't warranted, or at the very least he should reconsider. Wasn't saying he was passing judgement.
I did it for Dragon Tattoo, which is the only recent time I can recall it. Otherwise, I want my impression of the music to be colored by the scene it accompanies, not the other way around.

I think you'll be pleased.
I decided to listen to only track 2 to get a taste for it (and you said it was better than track 1). Very, very atmospheric. Will fit Scott's visuals like a glove.

It's definitely a good soundtrack that should work perfectly in the film.

You don't have to have seen the other films for this one at all. Though you should definitely feel bad about not having seen them.
Exactly. It's odd to me that anyone would want to take away the context set by the film.
I figure I'll probably watch them afterwards if I enjoy the film. As for not watching them earlier, what can I say? The other members of my family don't really like movies, and especially not movies about aliens, so I never got to see them when I was a kid.

I have a feeling that watching Prometheus first could ruin a lot of the surprise in Alien. Though watching Alien first might have the same effect, but probably not as much.

I'm sure Prometheus is being done such that the film will be more rewarding if you're familiar with the Alien series already.

Damn... heard just the two tracks posted here... they sound amazing, specially the second one.
Youtube was hiding the other song titles for me so I had to randomly click a couple to find #2 and some revealing titles came up (track #17, #25..). To prevent others from seeing these, here's track #2:

This soundtrack is ace. I thought the composer(s) would try to go head on with the style of the Alien movies but this is really good and unique!
The cinema is going to grin it's face off at this one.

Damn, this track is absolutely incredible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzI3AdpA9e4 (#4)

So I guess I'm the only one with youtube plugin that automatically shows the title of the tracks you're all posting. :/
It's like EVE Online and Saving Private Ryan had a baby.
Direct links to song 1,2 and 4 shouldn't be hurting anyone.
