 Review : "The Incredibles" is my favorite movie of all time. It's also the first place I heard the name Michael Giacchino (now one of my absolute favorite composers), and my first introduction to the magic of film scores in general. Considering all of that, it's embarrassing how long it took me to get around to actually buying this album. And it's a purchase I don't regret in the slightest. The best film scores not only support the film but also hold their own; this soundtrack is a marvelous success on both fronts. It has a fabulous jazzy feel and plenty of big-band flair, packed with excitement, suspense, and sometimes just pure joy (see Track 6, "Life's Incredible Again"). It's perfect for whenever I need a pick-me-up or a touch of action in my life. In a (very cheesy) word, incredible.
