This is the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to this summer's blockbuster movie Pirates of the Caribbean which was loosely based of the Disney theme park ride of the same name.

those who liked/loved the movie and its music. In fact, some people I know who didn't really like the movie (yes, these people exist ), and they still adore the soundtrack.

is Klaus Badelt. He's an accomplished, if not well-known, composer who worked on films such as Gladiator staring Russell Crowe, and K-19: The Widowmaker which stars Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson. This is his most recent film composition which will be followed shortly with his songs featured in Timeline starring Ben Affleck.

its beautiful and very fitting to the film's plot and movement. Unlike soundtracks that only feature slow, flowing, still pieces, Badelt delivers action, adventure, and perpetual movement--even in his slower moments.

This is definitely one of the best Soundtracks I own. Bottom line: This music is worth a listen, with or without the movie itself.
