Cut into pieces, a thousand details, and an itch are currently my favorite songs. This soundtrack is amazing.

I really like the sound track. However, the length makes it kinda a pain in my ass... 3 hours is a lot of tunes to sit down and listen to... But I have gotten through it. About twice now. (The Zep cover and the HTDA cover have been getting a lot of repeats. I'm really impressed with the HTDA cover, while it has been a long time since their ep came out. I wasn't impressed with her voice mostly just due to her lack of emotion... But here it seams to me that she put some heart and soul into it... Its damn good.)  Over all I really like it. Long, but good. I hope they use a lot of it in the movie...

 real good interview.

some snippets:

it was a whole 14 months of our lives working pretty much everyday, and that's also why the soundtrack record is long; we just kept writing music. There's more music than there is in film. We thought, 'This was all written for this specific purpose, so they all feel like relatives, as songs. Let's put them out as batch of what we did this year.'

Not to sound arrogant, but I find quite often I run into people who think I'm a prick or difficult to work with. I expect excellence, and I demand it. If we're going to do this, let's not fuck around, let's do it. Then let's do it a little bit better, because why would you not do that? What's the point of it if it's not the best work you can do? I found someone that may have up the ante on me with Fincher. He challenges you and sometimes provokes you, but I have complete faith in what he's after is excellence. I believe in his vision, support it and respect it, and I feel the same affinity from him towards me. It's led to a good working relationship. It's not always, 'Let's hug each other! Yeah, I agree! Great, I love that too!' Quite often, we're butting heads about certain things, but it's with respect.

So I've concluded that this is a great background music kind of album, great for listening while cleaning or folding laundry, not so good for Saturday afternoon grocery shopping

[doom]

So, the soundtrack isn't in the correct order to how it's arranged in the film. I'll probably have to wait until the DVD release to fix it myself, but hopefully this bugs other people on the ninternet. Even if there are reoccurring motifs, I'd rather just listen to them again. I wonder if fincher made some last minute rearrangements after the soundtrack was released or if Trent arranged them this way.

[Goose]

I'd guess that Trent & Atticus made a few decisions on what would sound better from an album's perspective for the track arrangement that differed from what actually ends up in the movie.

[doom]

Its nothing too major, I just noticed some of the opening tracks are out of order.  there are also some sound clips within the score, so it's almost like a "that's where I am in the story right now" type thing.

[chimera]

Yes Trevor has noted in the past as well that the sequencing on a score album is usually different than the actual running order in the film because it's a different rendering.  That's what DVD-rips are for. 

And this:

I'd like to say I believe that, but, in reality, I can look back on my own work and feel great about something, then it gets critically shit-canned or someone hates it, and that's the one that sticks with me [Laughs]. I feel like I've failed somebody.

...means Trent is still upset over rynne hating The Fragile.
