For those (very few) who want to the score and the songs chronologically, here's my ordering:
Thneedville Ted, Audrey and the Trees Granny to the Edge Wasteland Truffula Valley Fantasy This Is the Place Once-ler & Lorax Meet O'Hare Warns Ted The River Bed Houseguests Everybody Needs a Theed How Bad Can I Be? Valley Exodus The Last Seed Thneedville Chase At the Park Let It Grow Funeral for a Tree Let It Grow (Celebrate the World)
The rest of the songs on the Interscope Records album are demos that aren't in the movie.
Interscope Records is also releasing an album of songs from the movie. Almost all of the songs were composed by John Powell, so maybe it merits inclusion on this site.
As for this album, I'm looking forward to seeing what Powell came up with for this film. I definitely think that the source material can lend itself to some good music!

Yeah, I also wonder why the Interscope Records isn't on this site.

Whoops, I meant to say, "Yeah, I also wonder why the Interscope Records ALBUM isn't on this site."
Does anybody know if Powell is actually doing that new Pixar movie entitled "The Good Dinosaur"? It's been on his IMDb page for so long that it could be true...

IMDb had listed Powell as the composer of the Toy Story short film (Hawaiian Vacation) for some time (way after it's release, in fact) until his name was replaced (fairly recently actually) with Mark Mothersbaugh. So it's probably not the best place to get precise information on upcoming composer projects, especially those with release dates set way in the future.
I'd welcome a Pixar/Powell collaboration, nonetheless.
funeral for a tree uses a tune from another song, what is it? its some sort of irish folk sad song I think.

The piano tune is from the song "Let it Grow," which is also written by John Powell for the film. (Plus, I'm definitely no expert on Irish folk music, but I thought "Let it Grow" was supposed to be slightly gospel.)
Bought the soundtrack from iTunes today. It's a pretty interesting, and sometimes strange, melange of instruments and styles, but it still has John Powell written all over it. Some of the piano and female vocals are especially lovely! A very fun and engaging score which conveys a lot of diverse moods! My favorite tracks are "Ted, Audrey and the Trees," "Truffula Valley Fantasy," "Valley Exodus," "Thneedville Chase," and "Funeral for a Tree."
@#$%!!!!!!!!! after hearing the samples, it will get a lot of playing time! Go John!

I don't know... I'm a Powell fan and all, but something is not clicking with me, at least from the samples...
I'll wait for the full CD to judge it, though.

Does his oldness make him weaker?
The theme for Truffula Valley, which i expected to be great just like Jungle Nool's theme, is simply not great at all , too much like Elfman's.
And then for the song, i know he had tried so much, but here is what happens: -Thneedville song really reminds me of that song from Just Visiting -The music for the Once Ler's song is simply awful.

I hope John Powell sticks with animation, his compositions shine with them. Live action scores have too much control and are too narrow for a colorful pallet that John Powell needs.

I am not saying he cant do it, and do it well he does..I am just saying, his best work is expressed in his animated films. My opinion of course. :0)
The mature track titles sound very intriguing and hopefully could contain some great music. I'm really intrigued for Funeral for a Tree, for example...
