If you've seen The Hateful Eight, you realize why this score is so good. It stands on its own fairly well, though in the course of the film it rises from just a great score to something that should get an Academy Award. The main theme is incredibly enticing, even if it is repeated liberally throughout. Morricone makes things interesting by never giving us the exact same representation of that main theme, always throwing in some kind of variation to keep us interested. It's one of those scores that is best appreciated in the film, though, so keep that in mind while listening.
