Horror and
drama soundtracks are old hat for
Christopher Young -- having wielded the manuscript paper for such films as
The Fly II,
Copycat, and
Rounders -- and he's back on the scene, with a sweepingly dramatic (and sentimental?) chip on his shoulder, for 2007's
Ghost Rider. Soaring French horns and ominous, low-register male
choral bits provide the meat for the theme, while
heavy metal guitars and drums punctuate the action sequences. When he lightens up,
Young gets quite melodramatic, but that's par for the course in these comic-book-adapted films. All in all, even with the occasional detuned "chunk-chunk-chunking" in place, the score feels lighter than the subject matter. For a film concerning demonic pacts, treachery, and an antihero who cripples evildoers by inflicting them with the pain and suffering of their own victims, the
soundtrack doesn't quite match up to the doom and gloom as much as it should.

Boring......
i listened to this on itunes. There were only two good songs, Ghost Rider and Blackheart beat. They charge $18.99 for this. On Itunes to buy the album is $9.99. If you an ipod and itunes just buy the song Ghost Rider and Blackheart Beat. The other bad thing about this is that its classical music. I was looking foward to some classic rock. But, no. A 1 out of 5.
