 Solid Soundtrack for a Great Season
Submitted on: 2009-09-21 |

The 4th Season of Lost was an important one. The first two seasons of the show were simply amazing. However, the third season was generally regarded as comparatively directionless. There were several episodes that did nothing to drive the plot forward and there were characters introduced that basically did the same. Despite this though, the finale was excellent and there was much hope for the show going forward.
The 4th season started late and was shorter than any season before it, largely due to the writer's strike. This could easily have worked against a show that is so dependent on narrative continuity, but as it turns out it produced arguably one of the tightest, most exciting season of television ever. Fewer episodes meant that the creators had to pack in as much material as possible into each one, and with a show as brilliantly written as Lost this was a very good thing. Michael Giacchino's soundtrack rose to the considerable challenge of matching the intensity of the storytelling.
The established themes of the island, the survivors, locke's theme, ben's theme, kate's theme and others are well employed and given new interpretations to good effect. There are great new themes introduced as well, the best of which I think are the "No Place Like Home" or Oceanic 6 theme and the "Constant" theme for Desmond and Penny. Both are heartfelt and moving, especially the Oceanic 6 theme that has a number of interesting and powerful interpretations throughout the season, a great example of which being "Of Mice and Ben". In addition there are several tracks showcasing the unique, kooky, playful and dark instrumentations and orchestrations that have become a trademark of Lost.
As with Bear McCreary's scoring of Battlestar Galactica, the music Michael Giacchino has created for Lost is an integral character in the series, without which the show would not be what it is. Both scores strongly define the feeling of their respective shows and both would be much diminished without them.
In short, if you're a fan of the music of Lost in general, and Season 4 in particular, you owe it to yourself to get this score.

 Michael Giacchino does another great season of LOST !!

| Composer Michael Giacchino is well to becoming one of the great composers in the world. If he's not already there on most peoples lists. Another full 26 track season keeps fans of LOST and Giacchino himself in awe. The best part about it is that for most of the tracks it makes you remember what episode it was. That's what makes him a great composer!! |

Giacchino keeps creating magic

| This review isn't as detailed as some of the others, but I will definitely add to their claims that Giacchino's efforts for this series continue to be stellar. Adding in a couple of new themes and giving some of the older ones new life is proof that this album will be a bit different than the others, but still follows the same orchestral feel. I certainly hope we, the consumers, get two more albums from this great series. |

Another excellent Lost soundtrack

My expectations were high for this album, and I was not disappointed in the slightest. This is some of Michael Giacchino's best work. He's developed a very specific sound for Lost, yet within that sound are countless themes and motifs that he's constantly adapting and modifying and developing in fascinating ways. Granted, season 4 is probably the weakest thus far, musically speaking and otherwise. And yet this was still the one album I KNEW I'd be buying this year!
This soundtrack is similar in format to the first two - it's one disc with music from the whole season. Even though it doesn't have a separate disc with the complete soundtrack for the season finale (like season 3), you won't feel cheated when it comes to the finale: half of the disc is taken up by music from "There's No Place Like Home," starting with the track of the same name. This was a good decision - the last half of the disc really shines, with a lot of exciting action music and consistently excellent use of the various themes.
That's not to say the first half is bad, though. We're introduced to the new theme for the freighter in "Time and Time Again," Walt and Michael's theme FINALLY makes it onto CD in "Michael's Right to Remain Wrong," and "Ji Yeon" features a gorgeous but heartbreaking counterpoint between the theme for Sun and Jin and the life and death theme. But I always find myself eagerly anticipating "There's No Place Like Home," in which the Oceanic 6 theme is beautifully introduced, and after which the music sustains a very high level of awesomeness. Listen for outstanding variations of the traveling theme introduced in the season 1 soundtrack's "Hollywood and Vines," tense use of the freighter theme and main theme AND Sun and Jin's theme in "Bobbing for Freighters" (a favorite track of mine), and the most heroic statement of Ben's theme yet in "Locke of the Island," followed by a chilling stillness after the Island...well, you have to watch the show to find out what happens to the Island. =)
Anyway, this is a fantastic soundtrack, 100% worth the money. If you're new to the music of Lost, I do recommend buying the soundtracks in order...don't start with this one. But if you've got the first three and you haven't ordered this one, what are you waiting for?! |

Great Music

| I love this soundtrack. I have Season one and two and this by far is my favorite. I can watch the show now and listen to all of the character's themes. Great to relax to too, if you aren't afraid of a few smoke monsters. :) |
