Sony Music release the soundtrack for MIB: International, with music by Danny Elfman and Chris Bacon. The Men in Black have always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe. In this new adventure, they tackle their biggest, most global threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organization...

Danny Elfman returns to score the latest movie in the Men in Black franchise. Fans of the composer's work on the first three films will recognise the occasional nod and cheeky wink to old themes. This time he's accompanied by Chris Bacon, who provides additional music. Sadly, the press information we received didn't break down who composed which elements of the music.

The album contains 26 tracks (54 min, 27 sec) and delivers nothing new or overly exciting. This is a MIB score and delivers exactly what you'll be expecting. There's deadly threat suspense themes (in tracks like 'Demise'); pieces designed to enhance the mood in awe-inducing scenes ('Seeing is Believing'); Quirky MIB hallmark segments ('Job Interview'); and reflective moments of beauty ('I Found You').

This is pretty much a textbook example of a classic Hollywood action blockbuster score that covers every base.
