I love Trent's 90s and early 2000s stuff but most of his movie-type scores (oddly enough a thing that seemed to begin with the first Quake game) just seem like... noise.

It is....
Like the Gone Girl soundtrack - it's haunting and atmospheric but it's more like spooky nature sounds than Music.

They f***ing better. And plus the whole movie is basically building off the ending scene of the last movie where Kora came to the real world. And Ares was also mentioned in it as well.

Most signs point to Tron: Ares mostly being a repurposing of the old Tron 3 scripts where basically Kora would have been Ares.

Wryly amusing that Ares is scored by NiN who beat out Daft Punk for Tron Legacy to the best soundtrack Oscar.

And as Andrew notes, given the end to Legacy, there’s need to be some reference to Quorra here, or even Sam. Wonder if we will see Boxleitner or Cillian Murphy in any capacity? Sadly no David Warner probably despite Legacy’s “hidden” end scene.

Be careful with that. Technodrome clowns have a problem computing that failed scripts are repurposed and reincorporated into new material. Remember that fiasco of a "conversation"?

On another note now I wouldn't mind sitting through that animated Tron show that was on for a bit. Too bad that didn't have stronger legs.

Tron go outside the computers? This is ridiculous and a silly concept to try to make a movie that seems to be going for a more serious tone than the original. The appeal of Tron has been going inside the computer.
I know Tron has always failed but this one is going to be even worse.

I don't even remember what happened in Legacy, did they really set up going to the real world? Even if it did I'm sure this movie will be treated like a soft-reboot not really taking much into account from Legacy since no one watched that and it's been 10+ years since it came out.

I'm going to gamble that the although the Score to this one will be solid and interesting, it won't even remotely be as listenable all the way through as what Daft Punk churned out.

The Reznor scores have personality of their own, but they are loaded with atmospheric sounds that are routinely broken up by obnoxious loud moments. And so, basically the underlying sounds are intriguing, but not deeply "listenable" as compositions. The Gone Girl soundtrack is a perfect example of this - great, but not truly "listenable" because every song has moments of being broken up by chaos and it takes you out of the thesis of the moment.

Yeah, probably. Tron: Legacy's soundtrack you can listen to outside of the movie. I'm sure Tron: Ares's soundtrack will be decent... IN the movie, serving the movie, but wouldn't be something you'd be listening to outside of it.

Reznor is good at "melodic noise." But that Daft Punk score was art.

Loved this.... yeah exactly. You really encapsulated what I was illustrating there. Exactly.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah... just a lot of NIN "noise" going on musically.
