- Comment [b]It[/b] - Benjamin Wallfisch While not exactly easy listening out of context, it is a pretty solid score in context especially and some of it is just gleefully insane. Wallfisch is growing on me as a composer with both this and Blade Runner 2049 especially, his two or three other scores of 2017 ...

- Comment [b]The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers[/b] - Howard Shore I still think The Two Towers is the weakest The Lord of the Rings score, but this is still my favourite score of 2002. The Fellowship of the Ring is the best score in the trilogy for me followed by The Return of the King. I am not too ...

- Comment [b]The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel[/b] - Thomas Newman Much better, this is one of Newman's finest 21st century scores. A wonderful Indian flavoured journey. Apparently it is the score he himself would pick to listen to from his fairly recent output if he just had to grab something. Give me this ...

- Comment Really? I am just writing what I think ;) Agreed about Silvestri, he has done maybe a dozen or so of very good scores, but I am not a big fan of him.

- Comment [b]Ready Player One[/b] - Alan Silvestri This was much blander and more anonymous than I expected it to be. It shows us how far Silvestri has sunk - one of the most overrated living film composers even if he has done some fine work in the past (Back to the Future, Predator etc). It was a long time ...

- Comment Agreed about the Kaczmarek, dull as dishwater. Not that I am a big fan of him anyway, but he has his moments. [b]The Good Thief[/b] - Elliot Goldenthal Not one of his best scores, but it is still a good score. Goldenthal rarely disappoints. I wish he returned to scoring for real... --- [b]Mary ...

- Comment [b]Pacific Rim Uprising[/b] - Lorne Balfe Not again, this is pretty dreadful. Bottom 5 of the year so far with Ludwig Göransson's Death Wish, Lorne Balfe's Hurricane Heist, Ramin Djawadi's A Wrinkle in Time and Junkie XL's Tomb Raider. Djawadi's Pacific Rim is a masterpiece in comparision, which ...

- discussion topic Iconic Composers i.e. The Most Recognizable?
- Comment Do they have to be from the entirety of the last 100+ years of film music or can they be from the same era? Herrmann for sure if we are including dead composers - he is easily one of the most distinct and original film composers of all time. Out of living film composers the eight most ...

- Comment Haha, not at all. I just don't very often give out ratings above 4 stars. I am very critical, maybe too critical in some ways even. Not that many scores are 4+ stars for me. 4.5 stars are very rare and 5 stars almost never happens. I can't genuinely remember the last 5 star score I had - it was ...

- Comment Now playing: I am on a Joe Hisaishi kick, he is easily one of the finest living film composers (top 5 probably) so I am listening to quite a few of his scores, some scores I haven't explored much and some scores I am trying to enjoy more than I previously have. I actually find Hisaishi's ...

- Comment [b]Mulholland Drive[/b] - Angelo Badalamenti This is a pretty good score, some lovely dark ambience here, it has at least two tracks - 8 minutes of music worthy of addition to any Badalamenti playlist. Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5. --- [b]Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets[/b] - ...

- Comment [b]Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets[/b] - Alexandre Desplat I like it better than on my last listen - this is easily Desplat's best score from 2017. The score didn't make my top 10, but it was among the ten honorable mentions. It has a few highlight cues that I rather dig such as Pearls ...

- Comment [b]Max and Me[/b] - Mark McKenzie It is is a pretty good saccharine traditional score, but it isn't anything special at all. It almost strikes me as a poor man's Horner score in this mode, but Horner's scores usually had at least one good theme, this is forgettable in comparision. I would be ...

- Comment Haha, I see what you mean. I just set out on a mission to try to find Reznor & Ross's finest 1 hour of film music compiled out of their 6 film scores, but won't listen to them back to back ;) That means I have to narrow down around 10 hours to just 1 hour. [b]The Girl with the Dragon ...

- Comment [b]Gone Girl[/b] - Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross I have grown to dig their stuff quite a bit. It is so much better than what we get from RCP, except the rare exceptions. This is probably their second best score, although I haven't heard Patriots Day, The Vietnam War and Before the Blood yet. It ...

- Comment [b]A Wrinkle in Time[/b] - Ramin Djawadi It is incredibly bland and laden with cliches. There isn't anything really of true interest. Not even as a mood score is it good. The new-ageish parts of the score just aren't compelling. Pacific Rim is probably Djawadi's best work I think (aside from Game ...

I wasn't a big fan of Black Panther at all, but compared to this dreck - it is a masterpiece which tells you how weak this score is. [b]Red ...

It has some decent moments, but as a whole, this isn't a score I will revisit. [b]Game Night[/b] - Cliff Martinez The ...

- Comment [b]Black Panther[/b] - Ludwig Göransson It is OK, which is what I think of Göransson's work in general - servicable, OK, but nothing more and certainly nothing special. I prefer Creed over this score to be honest. A lot of excessive percussion work, brass blasts and chanting. Certainly no ...

I prefer this over the other Indian flavored score of 2017 - A.R Rahman's Viceroy's House which isn't as classy as Newman's superior score. I will only keep the ...

Some of the best electronic film music of the year can be found here, but that doesn't say much and I still find it very overrated. I am completely satisfied with keeping just one track from it. There is ...
