音效和音乐的质量对一部好莱坞大片有着根本性的作用。从渲染灾难片的角度上来说，这张电影原声是比较称职的，它找来将近两百人的唱片制作和乐手队伍，从头到尾以低音打击乐器和管乐烘托恐惧压抑的气氛，跟那些“浩然正气”的史诗片不一样，“The Day After Tomorrow（后天）”让整个空间都充满了邪恶的空气，像“Superfreeze(极度冰冻)那样阴沉郁闷的曲子，除了黑暗氛围或者死亡金属外，大概没有比它听着更让人难过的了，除非是在看电影，相信别的时候这种东西是你难拿它来听着玩的。在通篇紧张局促的气氛下“The Day After Tomorrow”也偶尔给我们带来了一些比较大气开阔的作品，如同名曲和稍显温和宁静的“Body Heat”和“Hall's Plan”但是多数人最终还是在“Tornado Warning”之类的黑色启示录中等待恐怖的特技在银幕上降临。
