    Reznor and Ross have pulled off something fairly remarkable here, creating a record that could've existed on its own as an original NIN production, but serves almost perfectly as the sonic document of the evolution of an online phenomenon that began in the dorms of Harvard and eventually took over Silicon Valley.

    While The Social Network may not be as iconic as the Dust Brothers' score for Fincher's Fight Club, it's as impressive and listenable in its own way. Reznor fans and film score aficionados will find a lot to like here.

    With help from producer Atticus Ross, Reznor has made a solid soundtrack to David Fincher's movie by doing what he's always done: creating grand industrial rock.

    This soundtrack enhances and drives its movie. It's subtle, urgent and infecting, much like its subject matter. "The Social Network" is a great film largely because of this soundtrack, which feels respectful and open-ended and intense all at once - a perfect compliment to a story about the densely intriguing first moments of a phenomenon.… Expand

    Did i hate the soundtrack? NO NO! However, compared to great scores like Hanz Zimmer's "Inception", it was not even close to an Oscar worthy soundtrack, with repetitive themes and some overall boring instrumental choices. But it is cool that it was made by computers.… Expand

    Honestly, bad score. It was horrible. It had no real rhythm at all, something that can be good, but was bad here. It was not recognizable at all, something that isn't necessary, but is important. It did not deserve the Academy Award for Best Score, and that award should have gone to Alexandre Desplat for The King's Speech or Hans Zimmer for Inception. It might be worth a listen to some, but odds are, you will hate it. It was horrible.… Expand
