- Comment Yeah it's a bit frustrating to force people to buy a set with 2 discs that are not necessarily interesting to most score fans (assuming they already own the original album).

- Comment [b]Solo[/b] has gotten me through quite a few rough times in the past year. Really, anything John Powell tends to do it. The guy's music is just so joyful.

- Comment I'd love if Powell gets another shot, but I also kinda like the idea of [b]Star Wars[/b] being a musical playground in which lots of composers get to play. I wouldn't want anyone, even someone as good as Powell, becoming the franchise "house composer". That's an honor that ought to remain ...

- Comment Given the intelligence with which he was able to adapt the Bill Conti [b]Rocky[/b] material for his [b]Creed[/b] scores, I'm cautiously optimistic that he will be able to do the same for Williams and [b]Star Wars[/b]. He wouldn't have been my first choice but he's far from the worst either.

- Comment [b]Venom[/b] Not what I expected at all. I had feared a dreadful grimdark experience that takes itself far too seriously. Instead this was self-aware to the point of goofiness. Not sure it's good, exactly, but it's certainly fun and Tom Hardy is enjoying himself immensely.

- Comment Williams has written far too many dodgy jazz comedy scores in the 60s/70s for [b]The Book Thief[/b] to seriously feature in a Bottom 5, but I do find it by far the least interesting score he's written in recent memory. Still a nice listen but utterly forgettable, and you can hear basically ...

I'm generally very easy to please (albeit harder to blow away, of late). I'm fond of a lot of the films you listed in your previous post, for ...

- Comment Does anyone know if you can change track numbers of multiple tracks at once (other than changing them all to the same number)? I often cut tracks into smaller parts, and it's annoying if, say, I decide to cut track #2 of a 20-track score into two parts and then have to manually add +1 to every ...

- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] Well, in terms of Williams, he hasn't done a truly great 'wow' score since 2005, IMO (WAR HORSE probably comes closest, but even that is lacking). Something "happened" with him in the break from film music between 2005 and 2008, and he hasn't really been himself ...

- Comment [b]Racing Stripes[/b] is a lot of fun too, especially that final race track. Isham is pretty hit or miss for me in general, seems to write two or three mediocre scores for every good one, but at the same time it's impressive how versatile he is, even if you look at just the good stuff.

However, that EP thing he released a couple weeks ago has three of the cues in their original form, with electronics. How ...

- Comment Very underrated film, although to be honest I have zero critical distance as it came out at just the right time to blow away an impressionable 9-year-old boy. Never forgot that Crystal Chamber cue from JNH either, even though I wouldn't listen to it away from film for another 7-8 years.
