Underrated! |

While many in the soundtrack listening community rightfully praise Horner's star making turn on the Wrath of Khan, for album listening, I much prefer the further development of the music on The Search for Spock. Maybe Horner had more time to work on the film, maybe he had matured a bit as a composer and orchestrator in the intervening time, maybe he just had more time over the years for ideas around the themes to percolate, or maybe it's just that the film had more time for thoughtful music. Besides, the expanded STII score has all the short horror-y cues which don't make for good listening for me, and the recording quality was much better on STIII.
Anyway, to sum up - better quality recording, more developed themes and orchestration, less short creep cues for me = better listening experience as an album. Plus, you can't beat the grandeur and constant tension building of 'Stealing the Enterprise.'
Final Note: While I adore the scores for STII & STIII, I can't bear to listen to anything else the guy has done. :)
