Having owned both T1 and T2 originals as a young kid, foolishly getting rid of them before I knew how collectable and valuable they were, there was no guesswork for me in deciding to repurchase this item. In terms of Arnold's legacy this is of course one of his biggest, if not the biggest franchsie of his career. This score in my opinion, in terms of Arnold's movies, is second only to that of Conan the Barbarian/Destoryer, who's incredible score is nearly unbeatable by any film. In the line of the Terminator serie's soundtracks I feel that T2 is in fact the best in terms of the score itself. The main theme, largely identical throughout the series, is made much heavier/bolder and more "metallic" (heavy metal clanking) than its origination in part one. In my opinion this adds an element of intensity that is of course indicative of the story itself. Of course die hards will vote with their money to the higher collectable value of T1's soundtrack, but the music of part two is superior. One contrast from part one, which is the only noteworthy flaw with this item, is the exclusion of the actual songs that were in the movie. Perhaps a marketing ploy or just a change in the industry, probably the former, the absence of Gun's N Roses "You Could Be Mine" is a significant let down. In an undoubted attmept to sell us both this orignal and the special release containing this song the studios had to make both, predictably greedy. At any rate, this is a must for those fans as nostalgic about this monolithic sci-fi blockbuster as myself.Read full review
The only reason why i gave it a 3 rating is because there is no action dialogue included from the actual film so if this soundtrack had included an action dialog or even Arnold's saying "I'll be back" or "get to the choppar with the music playing in the background I would give it a 5 *rating with no hesitation plus I would recomendation to all action xxx rated movie past & present which will make more money money for the entertainment industry more viable movie experience production's on the way up to include more movie dialogue action scenes here in must be submitted to the Hollywood inductees in a big way more profitable outcome for the costumers & movie patrons for a cinematic universel experience to go & see well worth waiting for 10 plus 10

I am a personal Terminator fan and always will be. It may be due to the fact i grew up with both movies (T1+T2). I would have to say that even for its time this soundtrack is well put together and still rivals instrumentals that are created to this day. The overall sound of the album is electronic. It was new for me to listen to music like this, but i think loving the movie helped out. As you hear each track you can almost visualize the movie scenes in your mind :) Its great, and for the Terminator fan it's a must have!
I enjoyed the cd. It was surprising to me that the disc doesn’t have a lot of volume capability. Thank you.

I love the music for the second Terminator film. It has great music from probably the best Terminator movie. For all of you Terminator fans, this soundtrack is great. The music is also used partially for the Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox.
