You are completely, utterly wrong. Your trying to project your opinion of music onto myself and others.

Music, is Music. Plain and simple. What you enjoy is up to you. If you can't enjoy the music that was written for a film when it stands alone thats you, and there's nothing wrong with that. But that is not why I buy film scores. Its not why I bought the Battlestar Galactica scores for Seasons 1 through 4, and its not why I own the Lion King soundtrack. I enjoy the music on its own.

It would be easier for you if you simply accepted that I like Scores because I just do and leave it at that, versus trying to justify it compared with your own preferences.

I'm not saying that it's not music. I'm saying that when you regard the score you have to set a clear distinction before starting to appreciate it.

Are you going to look at it as a film score or as any other regular album ?

That makes a lot of difference.

That said, a lot of soundtrack albums sound disjointed when listened to as an album.

Case in point, Tron film soundtrack which is great with the film (although the film is mediocre) but on it's own it's not an especially good album at all.

Hell, the only good thing about the Tron film itself is the melding of the visuals and soundtrack itself.

Do you ever buy soundtrack albums without watching the movie/show itself ?
