    This is unequivocally one of the greatest modern film scores. Trent Reznor Atticus Ross really created something special that both fits the film perfectly and stands well on its own.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Admittedly, without Trent's voice and lyrics it lacks the sense of introspection that defines classic NIN albums, but that doesn't matter; the master is back at work. [16 Oct 2010, p.52]
