Much of the music is wonderful -- mixing beautiful vocals, period music and a lyrical, modern sensibility, but someone has GOT to shake some sense into ol' Bear. The album is two friggin' hours long, and wears out its welcome long, long before that. Geez. It's not like it's Wagner.
But yeah -- on an individual cue basis, there is loads of great stuff here, as there was on the first volume.
It's not Wagner, but he has a devoted fanbase who really want every minute of it, so why tell them no? Also, more than any of his other series so far, Bear seems to regard (and to attempt to composer) his score for Da Vinci's Demons as one big classically-structured piece, and he wants to reflect the movement and growth of the themes away from the show. While the first release was a bit too long, there were only a very few cues (like the Vlad material) that needed to be snipped to make it feel the right length.

It's funny, I'm a big McCreary fan, and purchased the season 1 release a few weeks ago, and I've listened to it three or four times. Yeah, it's a lot of music that can almost wear you out, but I'll say this: he sure doesn't skimp on the music.... seriously, I've got a dozen of his CD's, and he squeezes 78-79 minutes of music on to every CD. Considering how often on these boards people complain about not getting enough music on releases, I'll take more every time. Once I've identified my favorite music, I'll make a playlist of it!

So any news on whether or not there will be a CD release?
Also, any good reprises of the main theme in this season?
