Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - worth the wait
My son and I absolutely love John Williams' work and this was no exception. I especially love "The Call of the Crystal", which is very haunting and where sections reminds me of Adolph Deutsch's score for "The Maltese Falcon" which I find very fitting for the Crystal's theme. The only piece that I wish was in the recording of this fourth installment was Mutt's enterance at the train station, which sounded great when he came through the smoke.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The movie is back, and so the movie's soundtrack itself.
After a long wait, the movie is back. And so, the familiar movie's soundtrack is so back in the running. All the tracks are so good. When I listened to it, it felt like the adventure feeling was back into town. I liked all the track. My favorite track would be track 1. It was because the familiar "Indiana Jones" music would always attract the movie fans (especially "Indiana Jones" fans) to listen to it for many times. Overall, it was a good soundtrack. I loved it!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Money Well Spent
I thoroughly enjoyed this soundtrack. It has the classic sound of Indiana Jones and is a lot of fun to listen to. John Williams is brilliant in reviving one of our favorite heroes. I am so glad I decided to buy it. A beautiful soundtrack to add to your collection.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Music can sound as old and tired as the film's characters
If you felt the latest installment in the Indiana Jones series was one too many, or left you unsatisfied, or just didn't seem to feel right, then you'll find that John Williams' familiar scoring leaves much to be desired, or is missing the TLC that always made a Jones movie as much a pleasure to listen to, as to watch. Williams has seen better days, much like the movie's lead character himself. The score sounds like a TV soundtrack, and lacks the originality and atmosphere we usually, and lovingly, associate with Williams more typically brilliant work. I say take a pass on this one; it's lackluster and disappointing from first note to last. Speaking of first notes, this is the only Jones movie that lacks any real music in the first 15 minutes of the movie. And when we do, it's a rehash of the first film in the series. So to make up for this, the first track of the CD is a rehash of the "Raiders March", that goes on and on and on, until we can't wait for a merciful track two. The first track is almost always the first music we hear in the film. Not so in this case, and while the movie itself was, of course, a labor of love that any fan would enjoy, the score falls flat and uninspired. Please, John, this was a definite case of quitting while you were ahead.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is a great (and severely underrated) album, but if you have not purchased it yet...
..then you are probably better off, as Concord Records is releasing this score as well as the (newly expanded) scores from the first three Indiana Jones films in a Five Disk Box Set. However, if you have no intention of purchasing the Box Set (I would reconsider if I were you), or if you do not mind purchasing the same album twice, then you cannot really go wrong with this album. As I stated above, there are many who do not like this score ( as well as the film it accompanies), but it really is not bad, not bad at all (though it may take a number of listens for you to fully appreciate the album).
