Three tracks in and this is already 10 times better than Silvestri's Marvel scores.
Yes, true story

As much as I like a lot of Silvestri scores, something about his Cap and Avengers themes bug the crap out of me. Cloying and trite is the best way I can describe it,.... .

I think what you describe enchanced the tension between the Avengers team. That sense of it never coming together until it finally does in that brilliant moment when the camera pans around the team. I mean who can forget that moment? It was brilliant! And, I don't think it would have been nearly as memorable if we got his full theme straight away. Silvestri has been scoring films for 30+ years. He knows how to serve story with his music, something I think Tyler has yet to figure out.
Finally, someone with brains!

So I have to listen to an hours worth of forgettable music so I can finally hear something memorable in the end?
No, you should listen to my resequenced version of the soundtrack which makes for an excellent 35 minute experience! (its over at Intrada :MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS; THE ALBUM"

The rumor is the Kevin Feige, didn't like the score for the first film.
It makes sense, it's a possible explanation about who is guilty about Marvel movies lack of care with continuity in music, maybe he's another superproducer a la Bruckheimer who doesn't have the best musical taste in the world.

Saw the movie. Like its poster, the word that comes to mind is overstuffed. Truly a lot of characters, action, one liners to the point there are almost too much of them, although all of these have great moments. You’re never bored but the story has a lot to tell and some plot point are handled so quickly that they lose their dramatic weight.
You can’t fault Whedon for not trying everything, and the movie is stretched between a bit of extra darkness and not taking itself too seriously -up to a point where one character basically says how ludicrous this kind of movies may look. It tries to give quiet character moments to everyone but some of them fall seriously flat and too sentimental imho. Ultron itself talks a lot but, by the time we reach the climax, he doesn’t feel that much a huge threat to the team – while the first part of the movie succeeded in making them vulnerable.
Excellent FX as expected, in the end, this opus feels more disconnected, and the warmth and simplicity of the first movie is partly gone. Entertaining, funny and spectacular, the movie has a “been there, done that-Marvel” feel to it, and is certainly not a standout movie like the first Iron Man or Avengers.
As for the score, may be it works fine on its own (haven’t heard it), but can’t say it made a huge difference in the movie, especially under the sensory assault of the action sequences where I could barely remember if there was music or not. The only standout stuff is the reprise here and there of Silvestri’s theme. End credits have two consecutive title cards, “Music by Brian Tyler” “ Music by Danny Elfman”, playing, I believe, right under Silvestri’s fanfare  (Silvestri is credited for “the Avengers theme” at the end of the end credits for those waiting for a post-credit scene that is not there, there is just a mid-one)

I saw in the credits that Tyler recorded with two London orchestra's and Elfman had no orchestra credit. Which makes me assume he recorded in Hollywood.
