Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross' Academy Award winning score for David Fincher's The Social Network is a marvel in that it's the only electronic-based score to win an Academy Award. The score alone conveys all of the emotions contained in the film's narrative and dialogue. Within the film, the score enhances the turbulent and sometimes melancholy atmosphere created by Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg. This score is one of the best scores I have ever heard. In my opinion, it is second to Reznor & Ross' score for another Fincher title, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Unfortunately, unlike the score for Social Network, Dragon Tattoo was snubbed by the Academy (but did end up winning the Best Score Grammy Award a year later). Nine Inch Nails fans might love to hear that "A Familiar Taste" and "Magnetic" are remixes of songs featured in Ghosts I-V, also composed by Reznor & Ross. A third non-original track, a reinvented version of classical "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is also a highlight.
