Battlestar Galactica: Season 3 (Original Soundtrack from the TV Series)

After watching BSG, I had to download this song. All I can think of is Tigh screaming, "it's in the fracking ship!" This song played such a central role to season 4, and is a pretty good adaptation of watchtower as well. Thank you iTunes!

For years I've known of BSG's presence on television but I never really gave the show a chance until last January 2013. Omg, how could I have missed this show?! I love it! So many elements from drama, politics, religion, military, sci-fi. The soundtrack definitely pushed the stories forward. All Along The Watchtower made my hair stand when I heard it. 4 of the final 5 finding out who they really are, Apollo investigating something weird on Dradis only to find out the Starbuck has returned. Great end to Season 3!

Frelling (or should I say frakking) fantastic. But I would prefer a version of 'All Along the Watchtower' that has no words like that heard on the decks of Galactica by the final four in the nebulae.

This composer is a genius.... every piece in each of season's albums 1-4 and including Razor & Plan are STUNNING. iTunes can a box set containing them all become available? Please pretty please!!!

The track Admiral and Commander is by far the best track on this album nuff said

LOVE. buy it. listen. repeat.

The music for this series is outstanding, often unexpected, and even revolutionary in its choice of instruments, just like Battlestar itself. Precipice, Storming New Caprica, and The Temple of the Five are so evocative of the drama behind the music. The use of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower as a trans-civilization siren song is imaginative and always reminds me of the moment when the series took a sharp left turn. I highly recommend this album.

this song is not as good as jimmy's but its good song and i'd give it 4 out 5 at least listen to it. but if you are a big fan of BSG than definitely buy it!

Awesome...enough said!

Okay, so you've listened to the two previous season's soundtracks, and watched all the episodes up until now. You're ready for more BSG awesomeness! Now, many fans of the show have declared that this is there least favorite season. "It's not as exciting." "The story goes hardly anywhere." To a certain extent, these people are correct. With a few exceptions (Crossroads, anyone?), the story does not escalade that much. So what is this season all about? The characters. This season delves into the characters of the show like it never has before. It explores where they are coming from, why they are the way they are, and answers the question, "What drives this character's decisions?" Alright, now to the music. Personally, this is my favorite BSG soundtrack. It is just so... fitting. It fits flawlessly into the show, and illustrates the anxiety, emotion, and raw humanness that the third season is all about. It has some fantastic action cues (Precipice, Storming New Caprica, Mandala In the Clouds, etc.), as well as some beautifully written character themes that have a classic sound of the old soundtracks, plus a new twist to accompany the changes that the characters go through, like the heart-wrenching Adama theme (Admiral and Commander), a beautifully written theme for Baltar (Battlestar Sonatica), and the sorrowful rendition of Kara's theme (Deathbed and Maelstrom). There are also some wonderful new gems, such as Wayward Soldier, Fight Night, and Dirty Hands. And then of course, everyone's favorite, All Along the Watchtower! This epic soundtrack closes off, yet gets things rolling, with the haunting Heeding the Call, and then kaboom! All Along the Watchtower is in your face, all out, and rockin' hard! And once again, by the end of the third season, it fits the tone of the show perfectly. I can't begin to explain how phenomenal Bear McCreary's work on the BSG soundtracks have been. In the third season, he creates a refreshing atmosphere filled with the anger, sadness, excitement, and jaw-dropping moments of Battlestar Galactica. He explores the characters and sheds a light on them that we have never seen before. The show is driven by this powerful music. If you're an avid BSG fan like myself, this soundtrack is a no-brainer, along with all the rest of the albums. Buy and enjoy.
