Free Music Notes for Battlestar Galactica: Season 3
Free Music Review: Excellent Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Bear McCreary smoothly blends many music styles in his tracks. His music is perfect complement for a great TV series. The last track, a new take on "All Along The Watchtower" gives me goosebumps.Free Music Review: Un-frakking-believable!
Hit: 5 Stars
I haven't been very impressed with soundtracks over the past few years but this one is simply fantastic on every level. Not only is it the best of the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks (each season seems to get even better) but the best movie/TV soundtrack available these days. If it doesn't reap some well deserved awards, something is wrong. The Celtic and other styles stand on their own with the best of any I've heard. The "All Along the Watchtower" vocals sound very much like Tom Cochrane of Red Rider fame and their are some other excellent hard rocking tunes. The best of everything in one package. No wonder the show is so darn good! Bear is going to have a tough time topping this one next season.Free Music Review: OK, I'm Hooked!!!

I love the show and now I love the soundtrack. I originally bought the soundtrack for one song and one song only. I loved the cover of "All Along the Watchtower" in the season finale, so I had been eagerly anticipating this CD for that one song. I was bummed that the song is slightly different from the one shown in the season finale (maybe they will release that version too and I will buy it as well), but it is still brilliant none the less (I think I have worn out my CD on that track if that's possible...LOL!!). The rest of the CD is amazing too. This CD is worth the price and worth the wait!!!Free Music Review: An album and a single, both worth it
Hit: 5 Stars
BSG's Season 3 soundtrack is among the best of Bear McCreary's work, and would have been worth buying even without the inclusion of "All Along The Watchtower". With it, it's worth five stars.
For those who will listen to content besides Watchtower, Bear McCreary does many good and a few great things. With David Eick wisely letting his composer glue the end of that episode together, the solid five minute cue of "Precipice" might just be his single best work in scoring an episode; the stories simply wouldn't have interlocked without it. Although different than the broadcast version, his work with percussion shows off in "Storming New Caprica". Tying in several other cues, "Temple of the Five" may be his most important new theme of the entire season. And finally, "Heeding the Call"'s inclusion of his adaptation of the Watchtower cues just prior to the big event was a pleasant surprise.
And then comes his adaptation of "All Along The Watchtower", which alone could have sold the entire album given the amount of interest in it. One warning: it is not quite the same version as broadcast, with some instrumentals taken out. Still, immediately following the show he could have probably sold MP3's of the song for $10 a pop - so be glad he included the rest of the season too.
The value is worth 5 stars as a result, and the music is the same.

This is, simply put, the best music I have heard in the past 3 years. I get as much joy from listening to the music that Mr. McCreary composes as I do from the show itself. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed by buying this Soundtrack. I hope there is a special feature on the DVD about the composing and scoring of this soundtrack, I feel that Mr McCreary has not been given due attention for his masterfully work.
