I felt Lincoln was overscored. Particularly at parts with heightened tensions, it would have been better to let the silence linger. But it felt like Williams wasn't content with that and had to wring every bit of emotion out of his audience. I've always had an appreciation for films that knew how to utilise silence, but this wasn't one.

This a million times. It was a pretty condescending soundtrack--is there an emotion you could possibly have here? HERE'S AN ORCHESTRA FOR IT--that was trying to relentlessly and sentimentally hit us with the feelings of the film. As if the film weren't already shot with an annoying degree of emotional unambiguity. Good god, he couldn't even leave Lincoln's speech alone.

e: for the record, I usually really like Williams. But the soundtrack of Lincoln left me feeling...pandered to.
