My favorites tracks are
1. Stealth Main Title
> The action motif is good and has lots of possibilities, however, it shines only in track 18. Shame.
2. War Machine
4. The Pilots' Theme
> It's good. MV-esque for sure, but still lacking that execution.
5. The Joy of Flight
> Unique sounding. Doesn't seem like an MV track however.
8. Hellava 1st Mission
9. Lightning Strike
10. Thailand
> Kinda cliche for me but it works.
11. Love Theme
> Good stuff. I like how it's transformed in the next track.
12. I'll Tell You Back at the Boat
15. Flight to Tajikistan
> Good Black Hawk Down-esque cue half way through this track.
16. Tin Man Will Prosecute
> Good Middle Eastern cue. The vocal and percussion is very similar to something Hans would do, but lacking in execution.
17. Attack at Tajikistan
> I like the simplified Black Hawk Down sound in this track.
18. Henry's Death
> The action motif from the main title get a good pulsating workout in Henry's Death. A stand out.
20. Kara's Ejection
28. EDI's Sacrifice

Its been a while since I've seen the film, but I enjoyed the few score parts...alot of the film was pop songs...but there was some scenes with good Zimmer-esque action cues.

C´mon....to say that Stealth is Zimmer-esque is almost insulting....It doesn´t sound even closer to any of Zimmer action scores. It lacks power (both synthetic and orchestral), memorable themes, melodies, personality, etc...not to mention the electronic parts of the score (please BT, take some notes of people who really can mix the electronics with the orchestra...David Arnold, John Powell...and of course Hans Zimmer). And he even dares to copy one of the themes from The Rock in his "Pilot´s Theme", of course with awful results (even the Director´s Cuts cd´s sound better).
You can do an "-esque" score, but do it right, like James Horner doing James Horner-esque scores, or Clint Mansell writing David Arnold-esque music in Sahara, or hundreds of examples.
Oh, and it´s amazing how somebody can call himself BT and sleep at night.
Anyway, Mr. BT, I don´t know which hole have you risen from, but you can come back to it right now.

It is actually horrible! I began listening with a very positive point of view, because of relatively good comments made various in forums and elsewhere but this is simply unbearable. Everything comes in a direct and shameless Media Ventures copy+paste that would annoy even the most fanatic fan of the studio, exactly identical ‘heroic’ themes (even the chord procession is almost the same with all the corresponding MV stuff) and endless electronic / percussion / techno droning that sounds strongly dated and yes, tedious. Every single good idea (don’t get excited, it’s only a couple of them) ends before it even begins, in a period of 3-4 bars and every attempt to sound organic gets killed as well, immediately, and gives way to the horrible noise. Even worse, it constantly changes style, by adding some ridiculous and clichéd eastern sounding, wordless female vocals and Asian instruments / arrangements that don’t find anywhere at all. Add to that an unbearable electric guitar on overdrive effect that tries to sound ‘heroic’ and ‘american’ but results in a violently dated and farcical result, reminding Trevor Rabin at its worst (like this is even possible!). It’s worse than THE ISLAND (if that’s possible as well!) At least that had the fabulous ‘The Island Awaits You’ and ‘My name is Lincoln”. The actual fault Is on me though, for 1) actually sitting down to listen to this 2) expected something decent for a stupid movie like this…..I’ll tell you what: become stealth yourself, run through the backdoor and don’t look behind.
