Gone Girl (2014)

[somewhat_]

Pre-order for cd is up on Amazon. Release date is November 24.

[jessamineny]

The CD Pre-Order + Digital Download is available again. Ordering now before it disappears again!

It's not going to disappear unless it's a mistake again, or unless they outright cancel the CD release for some unfathomable reason -- and then it won't matter if you got a preorder in.

[kevincwhitacre]

It's unclear why it disappeared in the first place as far as I can tell, so I don't know why it couldn't do so again. And Amazon's pre-order doesn't come with a digital download, so it is less appealing.

[jessamineny]

Because it's a major studio release of a regular CD in the first few days of pre-order, for a CD that won't be in stores for almost two more months.

There are still Social Network and TGWTDT CDs for sale on nin.com.

That's the stuff nightmares are made of....

This is probably more for "Random Thougts":

Much like the previous scores, "Gone Girl" is excellent reading music, especially if what you're reading is rather dark.

Also, I just played a bit of "The Last of Us" with this playing in the background. It fit perfectly.

that background thing in "technically, missing" makes me want to choose a planet on the galaxy map in mass effect

So this is my first time listening to something in WAV format and the amount of richness and detail I'm hearing is incredible. Is everything this improved? Because if it is, then I've got to really stop messing with MP3s as much as possible.

As much as I look forward to seeing how all of this fits into the film, of all three scores this seems to stand the best on its own two legs as just a great collection of music separate from anything else. This sounds like the best natural progression they've made yet with scoring, and if they stay on this track then I really do hope they continue to work with Fincher even more.

Just Like You is the prettiest thing Trent's made since Still.

Yes. Now get some decent speakers/headphones and find that bass.

I saw the movie yesterday and the music fits incredibly well! After my first listen of the soundtrack I was pretty worried..in retrospect, no idea why.

[eversonpoe]

i listened to the score about four times in the last couple days and then saw the movie tonight. i always love it when track titles are named after lines from movies, and it was cool to line them all up with the scenes. definitely not going to be able to listen to it the same way after watching the film, which is fine, as i loved it.

[laci]

Saw the movie yesterday and I have to say this is the best work Fincher ever done. As for the music, it's truly amazing. My fiancée found it the sickest TR/AR score and I have to admit.
You have to see and hear it on big screen, go!

[Corona Radiata]

I'm surprised people haven't been talking about Secrets more. I think that might be my current favorite track from this album.

What I really want to know is, did you watch it with your new bride and think "this is the type of shit I have to look forward to!"

[jmtd]

Great video interview here. He's even asked what his plans are post Gone Girl.

TR is one patient dude these days. Watching that I really wanted to punch the interviewer.

[eversonpoe]

hahaha no. she doesn't like seeing movies at the theater (unless it's a live rifftrax event) because somehow, something always happens to spoil her time (when we saw looper, i asked the group of middle-aged people next to us to stop talking and texting, and they threatened to beat the shit out of me). she also hasn't seen a single fincher film except se7en, so i want to get her used to his style so she'll appreciate it more.

also, to be honest, we've both been transparent with each other from the beginning. we got the ugly stuff out in the open early (i've always been an open book and with my last partner being as abusive and manipulative as she was, i wanted to make sure that wasn't going to happen again). but i definitely did think "i can only imagine how different of a dynamic this movie has for people in relationships who DO keep secrets from each other."

Well the score fits the film like a glove. Isn't as imposing as TGWTDT score yet stands out better than the previous two films.

I'm bias, but it was definitely one of the highlights of the great film. The score was so powerful at one point I actually felt sick. Amazing work and their best score yet. Also, the best Fincher since Zodiac and I loved TSN and TGWTDT.

I bet I know which scene you're talking of...

Saw it last night. Amazing. I have loved several of Fincher's other films, (but not all of them), and even though I was excited for GG, for some reason I just didn't expect it to be as good as some of his others. Very wrong. This might actually be my favorite of his, now. The whole thing was just incredibly well done. The score was perfect. Soooo good. Go see it!

Has a very Only-ish piano melody buried in there..

Staring out of the window, watching the treetops whip around in the breeze and grey clouds float slowly by while listening to 'Background Noise'... Melancholy.

Got round to downloading the apple lossless today, put it on itunes with my Sennheiser headphones, loving Like Home particularly now, and Clue Two / Just Like You. Consummation is terrifying

Just saw on twitter that Mike Garson helped develop the second half of Just Like You, I love his piano playing. I guess there may be more collaborations when we see any proper credits

So, Just Like You won't be on the FYC I assume? If it was co-written by another party?

[LOVEANDZOMBIES]

Saw the movie last night and it was awesome! I have to say in the first 3rd of the movie - I kept finding myself distracted by the score because I knew it so well. Also, there's some weird sound mixing in the early memory scenes where the score overpowers the dialogue to the extent that it takes you a moment to realize that you're not supposed to actually be following the words spoken but rather just feeling a sense of the moment. It was cool hearing the titles of the tracks in the dialogue throughout the film as well. Amazing film.

i was wondering if that was intentional and i figured it had to be because it's a david fincher movie.

At the bottom of that same tweet it says:

Just Like You
Composed, arranged, performed, programmed, and produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Just having some fun with you, bro. A bunch of middle-aged people threatened to beat you up at the movies? Talk about lame.

[Leviathant]

Huh. I came out of it feeling quite differently. I just got home from seeing the film, which I thought was well paced, the score serving to accentuate the twists within the scenery really quite well. I wasn't really totally hot on TGWTDT's score, which was appropriately bleak for the bleak landscape of that film, and I love listening to the Social Network score while I'm working, but as a film score it was very unusual - cool, but unorthodox. I feel like the Gone Girl score is actually their best yet at scoring a film. It was very tightly wrapped into the fabric of the film. If you thought it was barely audible, there was probably an issue with the speakers at your cinema. Now, I'm not here to change your mind, @GanduGains . You think the movie was a mess, and I'm just noting that you're pretty distant on the critical spectrum from where I'm sitting. Sorry it didn't work out for ya.
