Film scores are peculiar things.
If the score happens to also work on the album - fine, be my guest. It is actually quite rare to find a score that is quite a revelation on disc, but which is a huge, great annoyance in the film. Ridley Scott's Gladiator has attracted all sorts of praise, on every level. The one aspect of the film that most certainly did not work was the score. I don't think I've seen a film with a less appropriate score for a long, long time.
