Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (soundtrack)

The score received largely positive reception. Tim Grierson of Screen International called Reznor and Ross's score "dazzling", further saying they "deliver pulse-pounding electronic music for fight scenes and then shift toward more melancholy keyboard melodies during quieter moments."[1] The New York Times Maya Phillips described Reznor and Ross's score as "killer", complimenting "their signature wild, industrial rock mixed with a few softer piano-heavy interludes."[2] DiscussingFilm's Andrew J. Salazar felt that the duo were "the perfect match for TMNT, bringing a griminess with their signature analog synths that match well with the turtles’ underground heroism." Further adding that they also captured "the youthful energy of the four turtle brothers with lively drum beats and compositions."[3]

Isaac Feldberg of Above the Line wrote: "Matching the sense of rocket-fueled propulsion is a bursting, acid-bathed industrial score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, which mirrors the film’s dark, neon-jagged color palette while restlessly clamoring with its same defining sense of impassioned creativity and relentless forward momentum."[4] Rafael Motomayor of /Film commented, "Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross deliver a bold new score that feels youthful and new for the duo, while the soundtrack is filled with needle drops that feel engineered to school Illumination on how to properly use licensed music".[5] MovieWeb ranked it as the third-best among Reznor and Ross's scores. "The duo gives the score a garage band vibe, matching the gritty, dirty dwellings of the sewers. It also infuses it with an energy fitting the teenage heroes."[6]
