  1. 9.0 |   The AU Review

    This is a very intricate and fantastic musical work that’s incredibly deserving of anyone’s attention
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Suggests many of those Nine Inch Nails tricks hold good. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    He is clearly onto something with this soundtrack malarkey and if he could perhaps leave his roots behind him he might really surprise himself, and us
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Bookended with grinding covers of Immigrant Song by Karen O and Is Your Love Strong Enough by How to Destroy Angels , its atmosphere is further darkened by producer Alan Moulder’s gritty mixing
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    An exercise in the kind of deep, dark storytelling both Fincher and Reznor have embraced over the past 20 years
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

    Ross and Reznor craft almost unrelenting tension and paranoia with dark electronic drones that are only slightly mitigated by piano, guitar, and percussion but still leave a feeling of deep unease
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    The soundtrack takes what was so exceptional about The Social Network, and expands it beyond imagination
    Read Review

  8. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    It succeeds where it counts: making it difficult to picture Fincher’s film without Reznor and Ross’ exceptional score
    Read Review

  9. 7.5 |   Beats Per Minute

    Even without the context of the film, the soundtrack makes you feel like a clandestine individual on a mission involving the darkest of secrets
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   BBC

    A suffocating soundtrack, but one that suits its movie’s air of oppression
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Even if it doesn't quite work as a standalone experience, the real takeaway here is that Reznor and Ross may be ushering in an exciting new realm of possibility for mainstream film scoring

  12. 7.0 |   The Independent

    It's the sense of space that grips one's attention, sometimes just flecks of sound, like snowflakes in darkness, create a sense of brooding unease
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Reznor and Ross have learned that a fractional change in frequency can change the mood altogether
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    It is unlikely that many new fans will be won over by this daunting collection but its glitchy, fragile nature coupled with a brooding sense of dread will delight fans of soundtracks
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Reznor and collaborator Atticus Ross roll out three hours of often weirdly engrossing metal-machine music
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Mojo

    You can see why they've got another Golden Globe nomination for this. Print edition only

  17. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    It’s an enjoyable enough outing all told, but hardly essential
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    It works as a standalone piece of music in the same way as Hans Zimmer’s Black Hawk Down or Vangelis’s Bladerunner, albeit in a colder more fractured fashion
