Trent Reznor's and Atticus Ross' soundtrack to 'Watchmen' - "from some other weird world"

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have released a three-part score for HBO's drama 'Watchmen', their "strongest and most direct since 'The Social Network' - or even Reznor’s soundtrack for the 1996 video game 'Quake'", Pitchfork says, adding "'Watchmen Vols. 1-3 play' like a dispatch from some other weird world, one that feels like Reznor and Ross’s alternately paranoid and plaintive music". Apart from the original stuff, the score includes a David Bowie remake, a 'Careless Whisper' reconfiguration, and a nod to the 'Taxi Driver' theme.
