The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, 'Avengers: Endgame.'

Here on the, simply put, invigoratingly phenomenal 28-track score by Alan Silvestri, we take the rollercoaster ride that our heroes do, albeit rather more safely from the comfort of our own homes.

2. 'Arrival'
3. 'Where Are They?'
4. 'Becoming Whole Again'
5. 'I Figured It Out'
6. 'Perfectly Not Confusing'
7. 'You Shouldn't Be Here'
8. 'The How Works'
9. 'One Shot'
10. 'Snap Out Of It'
11. 'So Many Stars'
12. 'Watch Each Other's Six'
13. 'I Can't Risk This'
14. 'He Gave It Away'
15. The Tool of a Thief'
16. 'The Measure of a Hero'
17. 'In Plain Sight'
18. 'Whatever It Takes'
19. 'Not Good'
20. 'I Was Made For This'
21. 'Tres Amigos'
22. 'Worth It'
23. 'Portals'
24. 'The One'
25. 'You Did Good'
26. 'The Real Hero'
27. 'Go Ahead'
28. 'Main On End'

This magnificent, pulsating and euphoric, and yet at times deeply saddening album begins where 'Infinity War' concluded with the dementedly confused Thanos score which instantly plants us at the center of the decimation.

From there it's everyone dealing with their post-decimation sense of grief, struggling to move on (like real life). The track 'Arrival' captures that sense of relief when you discover that someone you thought you'd lost has survived a devastating ordeal.

Intimately tearful more than triumphant, later we get an emotional reprisal of those feelings from 'Made for This.' There are also familial moments like 'Snap Out of It' that makes you long for those conversations with lost loved ones you never got to have.

As I say though, it's not all doom and gloom for most of the middle tracks are lighter and resurgent. There's even some good mischievous jazz blended in here and there, but when we get to the most powerfully triumphant track, 'Portals' the music soars into something so much bigger than an imminent superhero all-star victory!

From start to end, and overall, this excellent 'Avengers: Endgame soundtrack from the composing legend Alan Silvestri is a joyful monument to everything the MCU has given us. Truly magnificent.
