The Social Network and Other OSTs



There was a whole lot of buzz leading up to the release of The Social Network, and for good reason. It's a great film, but that's already old news. In other circles, namely the modern music publications of the day who ride the waves of every new and potentially world-shaking trend, the original soundtrack was as equally buzz-worthy as the film itself. The score, created by Trent Reznor and longtime collaborator and friend, Atticus Ross, lent a sizable dose of sexy to an already seedy film. It isn't too unusual for artists to step out of their typecast and dabble in composing film scores, but this has been a good year for said trend. Most people who follow music and were alive in the 90s are probably already aware of this lovely bit of movie history in the making:


It's gonna be epic, if the music from the trailer is any indication.
