Alexander Courage may have given the sprawling Star Trek franchise its signature musical fanfare, but for two decades it's been composer Jerry Goldsmith who's periodically infused the film and TV cycles with their crucial musical heart and soul or, as in the case of this rousing masterwork, their fire and fury. Giving nearly free reign to his notably modernist muse, the veteran has turned in a dark and driving orchestral maelstrom that's relieved only by its edgy, occasionally synth-burnished passages of alien intrigue and mounting suspense. Underpinned by bracing blasts of massive brass worthy of Bernard Herrmann and powered by Goldsmith's passionate sense of drama and mastery of orchestral color and dynamics, it's a score that not only ranks among the best of the imposing Trek musical catalog, but certainly one of the composer's most accomplished sci-fi scores of the last 20 years. --Jerry McCulley

 Where's the rest of the music? February 17, 2008
I love Jerry Goldsmith. While darker than almost all of the other soundtracks (and certainly-thankfully- not as proselytizing and moody as Jim Horner's ST3), I find this one to be as rich as any others with a more percussive tone to it.
My love for this aside, my only complaint is that there is quite a bit more in the way of music from the movie that did NOT make it onto the CD. The entire battle scene from the point of "Stellar Cartography" to the point where the pathetic Romulan warbirds get toasted in about 14 seconds - none of that is on the cd, and it would have been really nice if it was. Cliff Eidelmann's Star Trek 6 soundtrack was a little drawn out for some, but it was a largely complete soundtrack. Us Trekker music buffs really would have appreciated more of the meaty music, not selected excerpts.
 Great Soundtrack April 3, 2007
I absolutely love the soundtrack. I love Star Trek and it is a good soundtrack to have.
Darker and haunting May 7, 2006

This was Jerry Goldsmith's last soundtrack before he passed away.
It's a shame, he brought Star Trek to life through music. All us Trekkers will remember him.
I think he did a marvelous job of making the atmosphere of the soundtrack darker and more haunting and still retains that "Star Trek sound." There are action sequences like "Lateral Run" and "The Scorpion." There are also some touching pieces reflecting back on Data's herioc sacrifice. "A New Ending" and "A New Friend" are perfect examples of Data's last moments.
I was shocked that the producers didn't put in Data's rendition of Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies!" I never knew Brent Spiner could sing that well............
Listen to this soundtrack and let it take you back to the world of Star Trek.
Good, But It's Mssing Something... January 28, 2005

I loved the movie Star Trek Nemesis and the music was great. I'm glad they have a CD of the music from the film. However, I am APPALLED that the song "Blue Skies" wasn't incorporated into the CD. How could they do that?! To me, the Deanna Troi/ Will Riker Wedding was made a little better by Data singing them "Blue Skies" for his wedding present. But, putting that aside, I would highly recommend this CD

This album is absolutely awesome. Jerry Goldsmith was an amazing composer, and as one of the last albums he's done, this is amazing.
