Brian Tyler – Scream (Music From The Motion Picture)

As stated in the comment below, many titles are missing, which is unacceptable. All this time and postponements for this incomplete vinyl? Okay, the pressing is excellent, but seriously, 30 minutes less than the CD, what a rip-off.

As good as this LP looks and sounds, DO NOT buy it!

The CD and digital releases of the score are complete, while this vinyl release cuts out so many tracks. So much music is left out, including the score from the opening scene with Tara and Ghostface, which has my favorite cue from the entire movie. The hospital music is gone too. Both the CD and digital releases run slightly more than 70 minutes, while the LP only has around 40. That's nearly half an hour of music VS is screwing customers out of! There's no excuse for such a thing. It should'v been a two LP set. Nowhere does it state on VS's site, or anywhere else, that to hear the entire score, you'll need to buy the CD or the digital copy. I'd say it's a ripoff and a desperate cash grab to make people buy multiple copies just to get all of the tracks.

Vinyl is expensive and should be given the same treatment as their CD/digital counterparts.

The cover with the shiny printing on GF's knife looks great, the disc itself is heavy and without noise, and the insert sheet is cool, but that's pretty much where the positives end.

I'd say skip this LP until another label wants to include the entire score instead of cherry picking it. I'm sure their delayed Scream 6 vinyl will be the same way.

Vinyl buyers shouldn't have to shell out extra cash just to be handed a finished product that's missing material that's available on cheaper CD and digital releases. It's a massive middle finger to score lovers and fans of the franchise.

I'd give this release a 2.5/10. The aesthetics are nice and the sound/vinyl quality is good, but it doesn't make up for being an overpriced and incomplete product.
