Am I the only one who likes this great score?

I love it. Goes great with McNeely's SOLDIER and THE AVENGERS. What a time period for him. Three great scores, three terrible movies.

Virus is filled to the brim with pulsating action cues, and a piercing amount of percussion -- enough to rattle your spine. No real cohesive theme is present, but at 50 minutes on disc, I think the score works very well as an "album."

Love that cool little theme that pops up in Another Ship then just disappears from the score.
Same here. 
And if all movies this bad had end credits music this good, I'd be going to the theater a lot more.
Yea, agreed with all of this. There's "generic" action/horror stuff aplenty here but there's also lots of good stuff. The end title cue alone is worth the album purchase. It's just awesome. I love how the last two minutes or so of that cue cycles through a couple stirring heroic themes that aren't heard, nor even hinted at, elsewhere in the score. I guess McNeely just decided to take the opportunity to write a mimi-symphony for himself there!
But then again, many of his scores had terrific end title cues: TERMINAL VELOCITY, IRON WILL, SOLDIER (best cue from that score and absent from the Varese CD), SALLY HEMMING, etc.
I also love that motif in "Another Ship" - I wish it was explored again elsewhere, it's a great and very memorable piece. I liken it as a cousin to Goldsmith's similar heroic theme in DEEP RISING.
Any other fans?
