It's to be expected for the score to include some guitar work, since Keith Emerson is the main composer, but "We're All To Blame" is the only actual rock song in the movie. And even so, I don't particularly think the score for Final Wars holds up very well. It goes from guitar-heavy to techno-filled to a traditional epic orchestral piece from scene to scene. I don't think the score is bad, but inconsistent.

The use of guitar in a score does not constitute "rock music." Using electric guitars in a film's score is not the same as playing a rock song over a scene. And even so, I definitely wouldn't want to hear some of the more guitar-heavy music from Final Wars over a serious rampage scene in a different movie. It would clash with the tone and feel out of place. Even if the score didn't include any rock songs, it still had a bit of rock in it. Unless the scene was slow, I could really see a fast rock song playing over a rampage scene. Electric Funeral isn't exactly heavy. Rampages don't have a specific tone.
