Even if you didn't know the plot of We Are Marshall, you could deduce from this CD that it's an inspirational movie set in the heartland and that it's about college sports. You'd be right. "Marshall vs. East Caroline" is a dead giveaway. The track starts off with a gentle piano theme, quickly augmented with a softly plucked guitar and strings; just after the minute mark, a fierce drum line comes in and shakes things up, though a slightly ominous undercurrent indicates that tears will have to be shed and boys will have to become men before victory can be declared. Fans of composer Christophe Beck from his days on Buffy the Vampire Slayer must be warned that his style on this soundtrack is a far cry from the one he adopted on the TV series--most of the cues here are fairly unassuming, except when Beck brings back the drum line ("Marshall vs. Xavier," "The Young Thundering Herd"). Note also that while the movie is set in the 1970s, this CD is devoted to the score and devoid of the expected classic-rock tunes. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
