    It's his style; and he writes way better than everyone else; but to judge a film score completely, you have to watch the movie it accompanies, Jordi. For instance, GHOST WRITER might appear 'the same' with his older scores on surface, but it's nothing like them in reality. Have you heard TAMARA DREWE or THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP?

    He has a good style. I love some of his trademarks, like the fluttering flutes, from The Ghost Writer, Tamara Drewe and especially, Deathly Hallows in the cue Lovegood (I knew that he was going to use it in that one).

    If I had to pick a favorite Horner score from 2003, I'd go with House of Sand and Fog. Great string writing.


    I found it outstanding in the film, but can't enjoy it on CD at all.

  4. NP: Father and Son - A couple of robots (TRON: Legacy)

    Nice rendition of the main theme with piano and french horn solos and violins.
  5. To me House of Sand and Fog is one of the most underrated Horner works, but where I differ with Kevin here is that I think that the final pieces actually are too intense for the final part of the movie. The director concurs actually, but blames it on himself.

    NP : THE PROMISE - Klaus Badelt



    Enjoyable enough though overlong to the point of outstaying it's welcome.

    There's a good 30-40 minute album here.

    I haven't heard the director's commentary, but either he or Horner were clearly going for some semi-operatic finale with the music. I thought it was cool...

    NP: X-Men: The Last Stand (Powell)

    Love it. I keep harping about Powell's Bourne scores, but this score is just wonderful. It's overblown and rowdy, but it's just so infectious. I wish the film version of "Bathroom Tiles" was on the CD, but still -- this is one of the most entertaining scores of 2006. It's probably my favorite Powell score -- yes, I like it more than How to Train Your Dragon, which is ridiculously overrated.

  11. FINAL FANTASY XIII - MASASHI HAMAUZU

    This has moments of outright symphonic brilliance, I shit you not. If you are willing to explore the vast 4-CD score release, there should be something of 1 - 2 hours of great music here, depending on your feelings whether sampled, looped tracks make for good listening. Sure there is cheesy music to be found here, but there is also a great amount of epic and rousing music here that are helped tremendously by the addition of a real orchestra and choir. This is the closest I've ever heard a Final Fantasy game score reach the beauty and stupefying symphonic awesomeness of Nobuo Uematsu's FF VIII: Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec.

    I've made a 2-disc set of this and I love it, cheese and everything! punk

    I also have on tap a cue from the STARCRAFT II video game featuring music from four separate composers. The open track is a epic symphonic feast!

    That's right! And spot the shameless Transformers rip-off cue, but I like it anyway. You'll hear it within 5 seconds!!! cheesy


    I can't spot it because I can't stand the Transformers score therefore never listen to it. Where is the shameless rip-off?

    Agreed. I loath the word "overrated". Seems so arrogant. "I don't personally care for this score but other people do, so they must be liking it more than it truly deserves". Argh!

    Well, it's very difficult and...odd, even for a lover of Goldenthal's music. But i must say it's extremely album-unfriendly. I can't judge it before i watch the movie first, to try and see what they wanted to do with this one 'cause i really can't understand it on Cd.

    'One of the best' is hard to quantify, but I would put How To Train Your Dragon in my personal 10 favorite scores since 2005.

    If you don't particularly like a score which virtually everyone else loves, then of course you think it's overrated. That's the definition of the word! How to Train Your Dragon wouldn't get into my Top 10 of 2010 (which is not a year likely to go down as a high water mark in the history of film music), so I certainly think it's overrated when I read that others say it's one of the best scores in a decade.

    Something I have learned in my fifteen years on the internet is that just because someone doesn't like something as much as you, doesn't mean that they are hurling a deep and personal insult in your direction. It just means they don't like it as much as you! I find it very curious how people react to this stuff. If someone told you guys "I don't like carrots" then I doubt that you'd say "YOU'RE WRONG!" so I don't understand why you think people are "wrong" to not like a film score as much as you.

    I daresay little will change on internet forums in this regard over the next fifteen years, though!

    So ends today's aside.

    I have no issues with people thinking that a score, movie, or vegetable is overrated, underrated, etc. but if that's all you bring to the table then I'm going to challenge it! It's like blurting out "that score sucks." Well, ok, why? Now, if you can back it up with a few compelling arguments or thoughts as to WHY something is overrated or underrated then I'll leave you and your opinion be.

    NP : SHE - James Bernard



    Excellent, I love this score with it's three distinct themes, quest, the theme for Ayisha and the Roman fanfares, a blend of exotic and ethereal. This film totally creeped me out as a kid, nowadays I can bask in the beauty of Ursula Andress lick

    Anyone able to compare this with Max Steiner's score? ( which I've not heard )

    Tom??

    NP: The Fan "Sacrifice" - Hans Zimmer

    The curious precursor to the current Zimmer sound. The first 6minutes and 26 seconds (with the ethereal choir passage and gorgeous Cello solo) is great. Everything else is an interesting sonic experiment that I enjoy as well. I would love to hear an expanded version (il/legal or not) with the HGW and Jeff Rona contributions.

    Couldn't agree more. I never understood why people get pissed and cry when someone mentions that a score they like is "overrated" in their opinion. Is just their opinion, it's not like it's a proven scientific objective fact!

    Well, indeed; at the end of the day, it's the manner someone presents their arguments and how they back it up. You're right and i'm with you. But i don't think we should be negatively preoccupied against anyone who mentions "overrated" in their texts.
