Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross' 'The Social Network' Score Still Slaps

Okay, gotta talk about 'The Social Network' again. Not the movie itself so much, though Fincher is obviously a genius and the acting is top-notch (Eisenberg nailed Zuckerberg’s detached brilliance/assholery), but the score. Specifically, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's score. I've listened to it a million times, and it still gives me chills. It's just... perfect. It's cold, digital, and unsettling, perfectly reflecting the themes of isolation and ambition running through the film. Remember the scene where Mark is furiously coding in his dorm room? That driving, pulsing beat... gets me every time. Or the scene with the Winklevoss twins rowing? The score builds the tension so brilliantly, you can practically feel their frustration and sense of entitlement. Honestly, it's one of those scores that elevates the entire film. It's not just background music; it's an active participant in the storytelling. What I especially appreciate is how it doesn't just rely on electronic sounds. There's this undercurrent of classical instrumentation that makes it feel so much more sophisticated and, dare I say, tragic. It's like Reznor and Ross understood the underlying sadness and loneliness beneath all the coding and legal battles. Makes you wonder, at what cost? My ONE complaint - and this is super nitpicky - I wish they'd used "Hand Covers Bruise" a little less liberally. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing track, but sometimes, subtlety is key. Still, a minor quibble for an otherwise flawless score. Anyone else obsessed with this one?
