    Yes that´s why I think it is better than AVP:R. It is more balanced, I mean, it´s a loud, bold action score, but those softer moments are a nice break for the listener. Anyway, "Decimation Proclamation" is still unbeaten. But overall I also think Eagle Eye is far better.

    My only concern is the music IN the film. Usually this loud scores are buried under loud sound effects.

  3. I saw Eagle Eye at the cinema tonight. The score has its moments (some of the cues employed during scene transitions are quite good), but overall I had a sense of 'heard that before' about the whole thing. I certainly couldn't listen to the entire soundtrack CD in one sitting (even two would be a stretch). There simply isn't enough variation in the score to justify an album of the duration of this particular one. I'm all for having more score on soundtrack CD's, but only if what's included is able to maintain one's interest. An album of half the length of Eagle Eye would probably be wonderful.

    Film score fans are a weird kind of species. Thomas Newman albums will send us ranting about small duration of pieces, fragmented scattered tracks and little music, Brian Tyler albums and Horner scores on CD will send us rambling about how much music is on their gigantic durations and when a similar CD of equally varying interest comes out with the label "complete" everyone rushes to spend their hard-earned money on that, especially if it's a limited edition / crappy low quantity alert item, just because of the "complete" and "limited edition" thingy. dizzy

    Perhaps I can find another way of saying what I tried to before - when he first really appeared on the scene, with things like The Hunted, Darkness Falls and Timeline (not so much Children of Dune, which I always found overrated), I found myself frequently trying to defend him against what I considered to be unwarranted criticism, particularly from Goldsmith fans who were pissed off at him for scoring Timeline (slightly odd since I'm such a Goldsmith freak myself). But I'm afraid the plus points he built up with me thanks to those early scores have now all been cancelled out by the dross he has churned out over the past couple of years - particularly the extreme temp-track lifts like The Greatest Game Ever Played and War, which are at the Tyler Bates / 300 level of "inspiration". And even when he writes things that are reasonably good, like Rambo and AVPR, he spoils them because the albums are produced in ways that makes the scores extremely hard to enjoy.


    As I pretty much enjoyed THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED's MAIN THEME and overall the track DETERMINATION I'd like to know what you are referring to when you say this score is a particularly extreme temp-track lift? What comes to mind?

    When it comes to Tyler's RAMBO I would say Goldsmith did a pretty much unbeatable work for this films, even FIRST BLOOD is outstanding on its own. To me it is like Goldsmith were in another league of compositional skills. Odd is that the outstanding tracks on Tyler's Rambo were directly adapted from Goldsmith's First Blood - but it was a pleasure to listen to Coming Home with up-to-date recording environment.

    Didn't Goldsmith throw in the towel as he would have to do serious changes in his Timeline score?

    Regards
  6. Legends of the Fall is the influence on Greatest Game Ever Played main theme, then it goes a bit through Zimmer's Pearl Harbor.

    And they're not just "influences" either, they're Tyler Bates / Alan Williams type things.

    I agree almost 100% (I´m not a big fan of his dark side: Bug, Constantine,...).
    Besides, he seems such a cool guy. If I were a director I wouldn´t hesitate hiring him. Has to be great watching him composing / conducting his music. Oh, and watch how he shatters the orchestra has to be cool too biggrin

    His "dark side" usually captivates me, except Constantine bores me to tears. Frailty and Godsend, however, I find fascinating. I have to say I don't know anything about Bug, and didn't even know there was such a score until just now. And Terror Tract, I find deliciously Elfman-esque.

    That's why I have high hopes for Brian Tyler: he's grown so versatile that I find myself looking forward to any type of assignment he might receive. I'd be just as excited to see his name attached to the next AVP movie as I would be to hear him being hired by Edward Zwick.

    I just watched those two video interviews. Pretty damn cool studio, but annoying how the interviewer didn't have a microphone. I'd keep turning it up hear what he was saying and then quickly turn it back down before Tyler started speaking.

    One thing that didn't make sense though:

    "I record all my drum/guitar/percussion tracks separately". If for example there were 15 tracks in a 10 minute piece of music, it would take 1500 minutes to record it." Umm, don't you mean 150 minutes? Ah, who cares, his maths might suck but he writes good music. biggrin

    Is there going to be a part 3 as the video kind of cuts off?
  18. 25 hours recording eh? A day! biggrin

    EXCELLENT review, totally agree, mindblowing score and i am glad you're enjoying it! It's easily the most adrenaline-packed major release of the year and such a big, well-crafted and in-your-face ballsy ride!

    As I've said before, his MUSIC doesn't do much for me. I've heard bits and pieces here and there (in films and outside), and it's nice enough in that Zimmer mode. But I haven't yet found anything to GRAB ON to; no particular trademarks or hooks. A bit like I feel with fan favourite Giacchino, in other words.

    However, there's no denying that he LOOKS GOOD and must surely be one of the coolest film composers around. He's got that rock style that the chicks dig. Nothing "nerdy" about him (then again, that applies mostly to film score FANS, not film COMPOSERS).

    Thanks for the clip!
    I am extremely serious.
  24. Actually. Tyler is a big fan of film scores, so all the references he does, especially in AVP were definitely big fun for him to do.

    I most definitely could've seen Michael Kamen do so, though. If there was one composer I would've loved to count as a friend based on what I'd read about them, it would've been Mr. Kamen. alas....

    Yes, he looks like he´d do it. John Powell doesn´t look like he´d do it that way in the other hand.

    Which implies that people only buy new scores a week or two after they are actually released, not later than a month maximum anyway, either they don't buy them at all; which i don't precisely agree with smile
