The Host Soundtrack

And I mean that in a good way. Though the movie wasn't as great as the book, the score is its own entity that deserves praise. It's truly a beautiful, almost "gentle" score, with it's varios tones, melodies, and stringed instruments to make it feel very fantastical. This is pretty much why it quickly became my favorite bit of sound to listen to before I fall asleep. If memory serves, the tracks play in the order you hear from the movie, which is always appreciated. There's such a lush variety of soothing beats in this score, it's hard to really pick a favorite track, as they all offer their own type of beauty.Each track is its own reward to listen to, but I'm partial to "Outer Space, Soul Inside, Into the Cave, Soul Outside, Sun Inside, Dying Soul, and Goodbye Wanderer."Put simply, if you like subtle tones for your score, this one's for you.

I'm guessing by the movie this is at least a good score... Word of warning!!... I didn't check my downloads from Amazon. I have at least 6 Film Scores paid for and supposedly downloaded, that were not, over the period of a year and a half. This was the latest. I wasn't worried about it because up until this one " appeared" to download I had not burnt any to a disc. Now I have to see if I am going to be charged twice for all these cd film scores. Be sure and check your downloads immediately. They "showed " downloaded on the web site but never got to my computer and nothing prior to the "cloud" failed to download. I am probably the only one who sees what I wrote, that failed to keep track of thier downloads but....just in case ...I wanted to warn anyone who has or may do this.

The Host Score Soundtrack is exquisite and vibrant.

I like this movie because it is different. The main character is actually two characters in one, battling against each other and working together at different times. The combination of the struggle for survival and the romance is blended well in my opinion, and the acting is not bad. It is not exactly true to the book, but most of the changes make sense in light of the differences in moviemaking versus literature.

I am a fan of having things simple and straight forward sometimes, and this official orchestral soundtrack for "The Host" is no exception. Beautiful melodies, haunting strings, subtle guitar, and an occasional tension created for those scenes in the film that needed it, the music truly enhanced and brought out the emotion the sequence is intended to bring to the listener. This is the kind of music I put the headphones on, light a few candles, turn off the lights, sit back, relax, and just let my mind be swept away in the lyricism of Antonio Pinto's score, picturing every moment from the film as I do. Great stuff and again, I feel the magic is in its simplicity.

Great music to relax with . If you've seen the movie you can really appreciate the music even more . May help prevent "road rage" . use it in your car while driving !!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed the movie (though the book's much better), and I was not a fan of the other soundtrack, not to say it was bad, just because the songs didn't...sound right for the movie. I like listening to classical music before I go to bed or if I just need to relax, and this one does that (minus Radioactive). It's sad that Radioactive is "Album Only", but I enjoyed enough of the songs I would've bought the whole album anyway. The music fit the movie well.

I don‘t usually buy movie soundtracks, but I‘m so glad I bought this one! This music is so soothing (except for the last track, of course), and it’s just what I need sometimes at the end of a busy day. I always feel better having listened to it.

Got a mark at the end of the cd with a read error on imagine dragons track. Luckily this is the only track so I will not be sending it back. But am disappointed being as the cd cost 2x as much as the blu-ray. Not sure what made the mark but it was aligned with that plastic mold cut off. But that is on the other side maybe it acted as a lens???

could listen to this all day, wonderful music,so glad I got it..one of the best soundtrack cd's I ever bought.

i went to see this movie and loved the soundtrack more. some parts are hunting and touching. suited the movie purfectly.

Even though the movie itself was a mediocre scifish drama the soundtrack is one of the best of yesar 2013. Up most beautiful atmosphere and emotionally connecting wholeness. Don't let the teen movie fool you and buy this record if you love quality soundtrack music.

An amazing soundtrack, there is not one song that I do not love. This album should get more praise! It is definitely a favourite of mine.
