Someone thinks it's too much of a soundtrack album and not a Daft Punk album, others just think it's a great soundtrack. Check out the latest reviews of the score, and don't forget to read our own review her.
Allmusic: Tron: Legacy's legitimacy as a score may surprise listeners unaware of Bangalter's fine work on 2003’s Irreversible; while that score actually hews closer to Daft Punk's sound, it showed his potential for crafting music beyond the duo’s usual scope. Working with the London Orchestra, Bangalter and de Hominem - Christo fuse electronic and orchestral motifs seamlessly and strikingly. 4 out of 5
The Independent: The opening "Overture" sets out their stall, its French horn sunrise swelling to a vaunting full orchestral climax. Much of the album then juggles different orchestral gambits - the thunderous percussion of "The Game Has Changed", the fatalistic doom-chords, urgent string motif and triumphant horns of "Recognizer" - while the duo's synths roll out the stalking synth lines and cycling arpeggios beneath the foreboding sheets of strings. 3 out of 5
Empire: Despite flashes of synth-favouring composers Hans Zimmer and Vangelis, the Punk create aural backdrops that suit Tron’s digital realm to a tee. With Disc Wars and CLU, they showcase a sonic largesse, with synthetic percussion and pounding bass pulses colliding with shredding strings. Fans of their day job need not feel alienated either: the pulsating electronica of Rinzler and End Titles would fit just as easily on their albums as they do here. 5 out of 5
Rolling Stone: Whether Daft Punk have created a worthy soundtrack is for filmgoers to decide. As for the album they've made — it's so-so mood music, full of dramatic, string-suffused sounds that are sometimes moving and sometimes just there. Daft Punk cut much of Tron: Legacy in London with a 100-piece orchestra. 3 out of 5
