Editorial Review:
Album Description:
is It quite unusual for a metal band to release an almost instrumental album consisting only of film music. It has been widely known that all the Epica members are big fans of movie soundtracks. In almost every interview they talk about their love for famous movie composers, such as Hans Zimmer, Danny Elf man or John Williams. Their new release "The Score - An Epic Journey" contains only film music, without metal or rock elements. The album features pieces used for the new Dutch movie, "Joyride." Mark Jansen, Epica's main composer and the drive behind this project, once described this album as "Consign to Oblivion" without grunts, guitars and the rhythm section. Transmission .2006

The cd case was really slim and that makes it also fragile. The CD arrived in very good shape both box and disk.

Yes, it is very different from Epica's other songs, and I would have liked a little more vocals in this, but overall, it's absolutely fantastic and incredibly powerful, worthy of the classics.

This CD is a little different from other albums that Epica has put out, but it is a good listen in its own right. I actually quite enjoy this CD, and I would have rated it much higher EXCEPT I found after purchasing that it is Copy Controlled and cannot be ripped onto the computer (which I use as my stereo) and you cannot make a copy of this CD (I like to copy my music to protect the original CD from my own clumsiness). I always prefer to purchase an album for my CD library, and that way I have ...

If you listen to classical compositions like Wagner's "Der Fliegende Holländer", Stravinski's "Firebird Suite", or Tchaikowsky's "1812", you'll find great orchestations with an epic feeling, and there was no movies or video games as we know them by then. they are just what they are, the vision of an artist expressed with sounds. And that's exactly what this disc is all about: The vision of Mark Jansen and his fellow musicians, expressed in a new, different way.
This work is something ...

I would give it about 3 and a half stars but wouldn't let me.
This album is completely different from anything else Epica has done. There is no metal in it. It is completely classical/film music. It is really boring to listen to by itself for this reason. It sounds like something you would have in the background of a video game or a film. For that reason alone (that it is very boring to listen to by itself) it will probably not be well enjoyed by the public exept for a few.
