The music itself was divided amongst three composers: Keith Emerson, Daisuke Yano and Nobuhiko Morino. Emerson's work makes up the majority of this score, but not by a very large margin. It would be interesting to know what the back story behind this decision might have been, as Emerson was officially announced during the movie's production and the addition of the two composers behind Alive's score weren't known until fairly late in the process, especially that they would be doing such a huge part of it. Regardless, the final soundtrack is an uneven effort. There are some great themes here, like "The Beginning of the End" and "The Arrival", while also some fairly awful ones like "Back in Action" and the made-for-TV-esque "End Titles". The disc rounds out its runtime with six additional tracks (24-29) by Emerson. Most of these didn't appear in the actual film, while two of them were spliced together to form the "End Titles" that were used. Emerson also does an "update" of two Akira Ifukube themes for this disc, with the first being of the "Monster Zero March" and the second being of the "Godzilla Theme". Overall, it's not a bad CD, but there are enough questionable cues here to probably turn off a few, while those looking for a more "traditional" type of Godzilla score akin to Ifukube's efforts will likely be disappointed. As a bit of side notation, the soundtrack isn't full as it's missing the two stock Masaru Sato themes and the SUM 41 song, although these can be found on other releases.
