Mad Max: Fury Road - 10 Reasons Critics Are Calling It A Masterpiece

5. The Soundtrack Is Downright Brilliant

"The greatest achievement of the film's psychedelic roller coaster is the potent and passionate music of Junkie XL, whose previous scores could have never hinted at the masterpiece composition he would create for George Miller." - Clayton David, AwardsCircuit.com

Junkie XL has been a composing soundtracks for movies for a while now, but his musical score for Mad Max: Fury Road is purported to be his best yet. Whilst some of XL's scores have faded into the background on account of their forgettability, his latest is being hailed as a masterpiece of the highest order - just another brilliant facet to this astounding movie. This is no ordinary soundtrack, after all; it's a soundscape built around the idea of fevered, post-apocalyptic insanity - a notion that reportedly comes through on every track, what with its emphasis on bombastic strings and heavy drums. Like the movie itself, Junkie XL's musical score will stay with you long after you've left the theatre. Always a good thing.
