Which has the better OST - The Social Network or Tron Legacy?

[Skel1ingt0n]

...or...

These are possibly my two favorite OSTs ... maybe ever... and they happened to come out within just a couple months of each other in late 2010. Both are written and performed entirely by famous, award-wining artists. Both suit their respective - but very different - films almost perfectly. Both are highly lauded and for me personally, I still listen to both at least a handful of times every year.

What say you, Era?

 

[nekkid]

Tron Legacy, and it's not even close.

 

[rude]

Tron Legacy is probably some of Daft Punk's worst material.

TSN wins this one.

 

[AMAGON]

Tron 10000000000%

Spoiler

Its Tron Legacy IMO. Its only downside is that they had multiple versions of it like retailer preorder DLC

 

[andymcc]

The Social Network.

 

[GSG]

Love both, two of my favourite OSTs of all time, but I have to give the slight edge to The Social Network.

 

[FTF]

Def TSN, but being that it's such a better movie may be helping.

 

[BringBackSonics]

Tron.

 

[Wracu]

The Fountain

 

[Mahonay]

Tron Legacy soundtrack was a fucking banger

 

[Ringo]

Tron has Derezzed...so wins by default.

Is it weird that I don't really remember TSN's OST at all? I remember liking the movie, and I love Reznor and Ross, but I just don't remember a thing. I should listen to it again.
Tron's soundtrack, on the other hand, was super memorable.

The Fountain

But this is the true answer. Death is the Road to Awe is a goddamn trip.

Tron Legacy's OST is some of the best work ever done by one of the most important artists of the millennium. The Social Network's OST is solid and Reznor deserves the praise he gets for his work in film, but divorced from the movie it's not amazing like Tron's is.

Take everything you just said, reverse it, and you've got exactly how I feel. I'm a huge Daft Punk fan but the Tron OST struck me as completely forgettable and generic without any of the daring creativity found in stuff like Discovery or Homework; I remember nothing from it, whereas some of the tracks from TSN are just staggeringly beautiful.

All this thread did is make me boot up the tron OST, cause it's fucking bonkers good.

The movie was utterly average, and yet the soundtrack makes it a complete joy to watch. That's how you know it's the best

 

[Feep]

Tron's, which will live forever.

It's weird how it works sometimes. I even listened to The Social Network's OST recently at work and liked it quite a bit, but I can't recall any melodies still. I'll give it another chance for sure though.

 

[jett]

The Social Network for me, although I also like Tron Legacy's soundtrack a good bit.

 

[Muitnorts]

The Social Network is a masterpiece. Tron's good but it doesn't come close for me.

 

[Pokémon]

Derezzed is a masterpiece, so Tron.

 

[Fancy Clown]

The Social Network's score is better, c'mon people.

 

[Tygre]

The Tron: Legacy OST is both a fantastic score, a fantastic full album and has at least three fantastic singles.

It's attached to a worse film, no doubt, but it is the superior accompaniment.

This.

 

[Darth Pinche]

Both are great, TSN is iconic for me.

 

[•79•]

Both equally. The Fountain is incredible and Max Payne 3 has the best score in any medium. So there.

 

[CanisMajoris]

How is this a debate? lol

Tron of course.

 

[GringoSuave89]

I mean, its two popular artists doing their first soundtrack work for a major Hollywood picture. Both have the dna of their original sound while also working as a whole new pallet to explore. I love both NIN and Daft Punk, and TRAR has had more soundtrack work to their name which has only improved with each project so I'm a bit biased towards TSN acting as a sign of whats to come. Both are pretty fantastic though.

Also, hey Disney, with you cooling down on Star Wars, how about cashing in on the popularity of cyberpunk aesthetics and making another Tron film? Just saying.

 

[Dodongo]

The TRON: Legacy OST is super good, but I find myself going back to The Social Network soundtrack all the time.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Tron Legacy for me.

Considering that the best track on TSN ost is a remix of a century old Greig's tune? Not really.

It's Tron, not sure if I would call TSN ost music at all, and I love NIN.
