Free Music Notes for 300 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: Epic to the Core
Hit: 5 Stars
What could possibly be more epic than 300 warriors fighting to the death against hundreds of thousands? This was a question i asked after seeing the movie but now I have the answer: This Soundtrack. This album truly cover all the basis' of what the word 'Epic' means. From soft eerily dark melodies to engaging bombastic drumming and of course head first into the guitar driven battle themes.
This album takes you to a place known as Sparta and you will feel the as though you are the one leaving your family behind to march to war and almost certain death ('What Must a King do' & 'Goodbye my Love'). It empowers the listener to feel as though you are there shield to shield with your war ridden comrades as you feel the very earth below you shake due to the approaching enemy('The Hot Gates' & 'To Victory'). This is no mere Soundtrack to a movie but in fact the story of 300 men told through one thing all can relate to.. Music.
I urge you to pick up this album if you are interested. It truely is a work of art & is easily one of the greatest scores written to date. So if you are a fan of Epic Musical Scores or just Symphonic music in general than this album will be a treat for you. The aforementioned tracks are my favorites and you may wish to hear them to get a taste of what this album can offer. Truly a magnificent addition to my collection that has yet to leave my stereo. Thank you for reading and please check out both the movie & Frank Miller's amazing Graphic Novel all of this is based on.
Free Music Review: 300 ORIGINAL soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
I have no idea why some people claim this music came from the "Titus" soundtrack. The "Titus" track is mostly Classical with Jazz fusion, a little rock, and beats. Mostly mellow.
300 Is mostly Indo-Eurasian with rock, synth and some classical mixed.
The tracks are a perfect match to the movie and only this movie.
Not only are the styles completely different, but it seems some reviewers' idea of similarity or "copycat" is the use of strings and vocals.
By that judgement, the "Gladiator" soundtrack is a rip-off of "Titus" and "Troy" is a rip-off of both of them.
Listen to the samples of both. You will notice no copying, no ripping off and very little of any ispiration from the Titus track.
This is an original and quite a fine match to the movie. You will not be disappointed, unless you have anything but the most narrow of tastes.
Free Music Review: Brings the movie to life...
Hit: 5 Stars
I had not heard of composer Tyler Bates until now, but was so impressed with the score in the film "300" that I bought the soundtrack immediately after seeing the movie.
This score is powerful and thrilling - an absolute treat. It ranks up there with Hans Zimmer's score for "Gladiator," Harry Gregson-William' "Kingdom of Heaven" and Howard Shore's "Lord of the Rings" as the all-time powerful epic scores.
My particular favorites are "Returns a King," "Hot Gates," "Immortals Battle," "Fever Dream" and "To Victory." My suggestion is to listen to it with the volume turned up in order to amp up the intensity and really get the feel for the music.
If you liked the movie and enjoy powerful scores, then this is a must have.

Free Music Review: The Score is more beautiful than the movie.
Hit: 5 Stars
The music on this CD is gorgeous. I enjoyed the score of the film more so then the film as a whole.
My personal favorite tracks are: To Victory, The Wolf, Returns A King, Submission, Cursed by Beauty, No Sleep Tonight, The Hot Gates, ect. This soundtrack is beautiful.
If you are looking for the song that played on the trailer, it's a song by Nine Inch Nail with the title of "Just like you imagined" on the Fragile Album.
Also, the movie is not bad if you can get over the lack of character building, all of the glorious one-liners spewed all over the place, and the macho-emotional-less characters that abound. It's a complete action flick with an even better soundtrack.
