One of the best Zimmer scores. One of the most boring Zimmer scores. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -

IMO, it's the anti-thesis of boring. Glorious choral music, superb power anthems that continue to give me the chills after all these years, brief cameos of the Dies Irae, "Eternal Father Strong to Save", asskicking action music and just a "fat", funky sound.
CRIMSON TIDE FOREVER!

I wish Crimson Tide tracks were a bit shorter. I've had to edit a couple down significantly.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

The album's far too long really but the highlights are pretty much the pinnacle of that "classic" Zimmer sound, I'd say. -

Geological eras come and go in the time it takes most Brian Tyler albums to play, but that doesn't stop Crimson Tide being too long. -

Crimson Tide is a very overrated score. it has only an amazing main theme, the rest is boring. the action parts are really bad and the electronics sound very cheap. The Rock is better, but The Peacemaker is the highlight of all three scores, which have THIS zimmer sound. -

I like none of them.
Can we not talk about some good music instead?

Ya gotta be kidding me! I really dislike THE PEACEMAKER. Very noisy and bombastic without really anything to hook on to. It's not even in the same league as ROCK and CRIMSON.I am extremely serious. -

NP: THE ROCK (Hans Zimmer/Nick Glennie-Smith/Harry Gregson-Williams)
Another SUPERB score and alltime favourite of mine, even moreso than CRIMSON TIDE even. I've played it to death over the years, but it never ceazes to amaze me. I can perfectly understand why this hooked a new generation of film music fans, like STAR WARS did back in the day.I am extremely serious. -

Vehemently disliked it at first, grew to dislike it slightly less later on. I have to say, that style of score (tuneful, simplistic) fits the Bruckheimer action films like a glove (far more than the more recent Transformers-style does). -

I wouldn't call it 'simplistic'. It pulls on prog rock, metal, instrumental electronic music and orchestral Americana and meshes it together to form a totally captivating listening experince. In the film, it's mixed loudly and hits you in the face with pronounced melodies, and - when the soundscape is dense (as it usually is in Bruckheimer productions) - funky percussive grooves. It's a classic action film (appropriately released on the feinschmecker Criterion label) and a landmark score.
If you're judging it by the criteria of traditional symphonic music, it is indeed simplistic, but that would be very wrong, IMO. That's like judging a Bob Dylan song by the criteria of trance music (or vice versa).I am extremely serious. -

The Peacemaker has the better orchestration, the better themes and the better choir parts. the action is simplistic but has rythym and themes. the action in Crimson Tide is only simplistic and the action in The Rock is equal to The Peacemaker. all three scores are bombastic and loud. for me there is no difference. -

I'm not doing that. I think it's simplistic by any measure. It's as valid an approach to scoring a depthless action film as any other and it's very easy to argue that doing any more than it is just over-complicating things. But you'll have a hard time convincing me it's not simplistic. -

The term has too many negative connotations, and I don't think it's applicable for an action film where style is substance. It's not a profound, intellectual exercise. That's not what it is about. It's a classy, smooth, elegant action film whose strengths lies in cinematography, editing and a tight plot. And the music answers to that. Like SPEED, it's a genre-defining action movie of the 90's. 'Depth-less' and 'simplistic' are not words I would use to describe it.I am extremely serious. -

Apart from your first and last sentence, you wrote exactly what I may have written about it. I didn't mean any negative connotation, by the way. I meant simplistic as in the opposite of complicated. Nothing about either film or score is complicated, nor should it be. I see no depth to either - they're both pieces of entertainment designed to provoke enjoyment, not thought. That's what a summer popcorn movie is meant to be. Or, to sum up all that in a word: simplistic.
