"The Score - An Epic Journey" is the third album of the Dutch symphonic metal formation Epica, released in 2005. It is the film soundtrack to "Joyride", a Dutch production.

Most of the songs of the album are purely instrumental, and can best be compared to the intros of the previous two albums. The four songs which do feature the singing voice of Simone Simons, are different versions of songs from the album "Consign to Oblivion" which was released earlier the same year.
