Bah! Was hoping, what with it being DC, that this would be a proper LLL release at some point.
Still, happy there will at least be a CD out there.

What a surprisingly great release! I only say 'surprisingly' because I watched Arrow, but didn't notice the score a whole lot. It starts with the '5 years' prologue, introducing Arrow's theme, with fast-paced strings and (toward the very end of the theme) an electronic sound that I'm not sure how to describe. While generally I dislike the feel of electronics in general in music, this has grown on me, and seems to work really well in the theme.
'Returning Home/Scars' is an appropriately sad, melancholy track. It works to emphasize the torturous experiences that Oliver went through, and how that crucible changed him. Other tracks, such as 'Loss and Regrets' and 'I Forgot Who I Was' are in the same vein.
Tracks suhc as 'City in Ruin', 'Train and Hunt', and 'Chasing the Hood', which focus on the corruption and decay of his city, have a very heavy electronic emphasis. It seems the electronic side of the music represents the villains, decay, and/or Oliver's alter ego.
'Setting Up the Lair' is a powerful, effective montage track. It really moves along and it's amazing how how an entire secret lair can be set up in a scant 2 minutes and 28 seconds. 
This score has multiple facets and themes for different characters and the situations that they are presented with. Again, I was surprised at how good this score is. I recommend to anyone that he or she give it a listen and see what you think.
Favorite tracks: 5 Years, Returning Home/Scars, Setting Up the Lair, I Forgot Who I Was, The Dark Archer/It is I Who Failed this City, I Can't Lose You Twice, A Way Off the Island, Sacrifice, and Oliver Queen Suite.
