I just saw the WATCHMEN limited edition picture disk vinyl for sale at HOT TOPIC! It’s got the My Chemical Romance cover of “Desolation Row” as well as a snippet from the Bates’ score. The disc looks AMAZING and sounds as good as it looks. A great addition to my collection.

Terrible score. He ripped off Blade Runner for the Edward Blake track.

After listening to the full score, I think it’s quite good. And anyone who rips off Blade Runner is on the right track in my opinion. I will have a full review of it soon.

Judging on the clip on the amazon, Tyler deliveres another 300-like sound you’ll not remember. I’m afraid that the Music from the… disk will outshine the score.

I agree it’s nothing special, more like a synth version of 300. The guitars were present, but I’ll have to hear the full score before judgment. I did like the 300 score though.
