Mike Patton crafts a turbo-charged masterpiece of a score.

The overall effect is dazzling, the score courses with frantic energy, and is at times refreshingly raw and unpolished. It's if Patton himself was composing against the clock, forced to keep moving to keep his own heart ticking. Most tracks favor a rock structure, but he is equally adept at creating free-form cinematic soundscapes. Every composition is strong, and the album is a testament to Patton's considerable talent.

In 2017 the soundtrack was released on vinyl for the very first time [read].
