I've been reading the posts here and I am a bit surprised at the backlash at Michael. I don't know much about his work but I found he did a good job on ST9. I do agree some of the themes were reused too often but that happens a lot in Trek by other composers. Overall, it was not a back soundtrack and I just loved hearing the original (Alex's) theme at the end. It made up for any mistakes for me.

I wish JJ was not so married to this guy. I was so underwhelmed by his score for ST 2009. I thought it was the weakest part of the film from a technical stand point. His work is what I like to call musical wallpaper. It's sufficient to set a backdrop for the scene, but when you try to listen to it outside of the realm of the movie it just doesn't have much there. I dream of what ST 2009 would have been like with a James Horner or Goldsmith or better yet a Hans Zimmer score. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever see any JJ Abrams film without Giachano. It's a shame.
