- Comment [quote][b]Erik Woods wrote[/b] [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] [b]NP: THE LIGHTKEEPERS (Pinar Toprak)[/b] Slow-moving and beautiful -- just what I like these days (although perhaps a bit too much 'mickey mousing' at times; lots of start/stop chord changes). Pinar hasn't really done a weak score yet, has ...

- Comment [b]Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom[/b] It's pretty lousy. Most of its plot is ripped straight from The Lost World, the new characters are either forgettable (the villains) or annoying (the sidekicks). Chris Pratt looks stoic, Bryce Dallas Howard screams a lot. There isn't any tension or memorable ...

- Comment [b]Hubris[/b] - John Powell Divorced from the need to write to picture and pleasing multiple filmmakers, this music shows Powell's classical influences much more clearly. It's intelligent, sometimes abrasive and frequently gorgeous. Definitely gonna need a bunch more listens to absorb it all. ...

- Comment [b]Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom[/b] There are some career-best cues here (the end credits suite in particular) but as usual with Giacchino, he pads the soundtrack with too many suspense cues (especially in the middle). Take some of the opening cues and most of the ending ones and you'll have a ...

- Comment Yeah, I don't care for the Williams quotes either, for the most part. "Reminiscence Therapy" in particular feels very clunky. It's one thing if you reference an old theme, another when you basically take entire measures of old cues and shoehorn them in.

- Comment [b]Solo[/b] - John Powell Basically what you'd expect from a score where John Powell meets John Williams. It's terrific. Powell's own themes aren't quite standing out to me yet but you definitely can't miss the new Han theme.

- Comment [quote][b]Erik Woods wrote[/b] I don't get the love for this score. It's Silvestri on autopilot. It's rather bland and forgettable. -Erik-[/quote] Agreed. I've always felt Silvestri does his best work when given the opportunity to write strong thematic material. Since this obviously wasn't the ...

- Comment [b]God of War[/b] - Bear McCreary Having just finished the magnificent game, I'm convinced this is one of the few masterpieces of 2018. The album is a little too long but in game, it is completely flawless, making me tear up on several occasions. Pruning the album down to about an hour makes it a ...

- Comment [quote][b]Southall wrote[/b] [b]God of War[/b] Bear McCreary There's some outstanding material on this, but the album's far too long.[/quote] It's interesting because in the game, the music is actually quite sparse. It only really comes to life (and extremely effectively) during certain cutscenes ...

- Comment [b]John Carter[/b] - Michael Giacchino Giacchino has felt a bit ragged to me since his strong 2015 but this score in particular is reminding me what an excellent composer he can be when firing on all cylinders.

- Comment I think Silvestri's action music has increasingly homogenized over the years. I went back to Back to the Future the other day and was greatly impressed by the clocktower cue, which had all the freshness I've felt has been missing from the composer's music for ages now. (But I can only blame the ...

The only non-animated score I have of his is a TV one, [b]Alias[/b]. I'd love to branch out more, but have had a hard ...

- Comment [b]Ready Player One[/b] - Alan Silvestri Chopped this down to 48 minutes and I'm enjoying it a lot more. Most of the suspense cues (with heavy electronics) got the boot.

- Comment [b]Ready Player One[/b] - Alan Silvestri It's okay. Will probably be able to upgrade that to "good" once I do some pruning down to maybe fifty minutes. Not as much thematic development as I was expecting based on earlier reports that the main theme is all over the score. My biggest ...

- Comment Watched [b]Gernika[/b] because I was curious to see how Velazquez's 25 minute cue for the finale was through-composed or just a bunch of edited together cues. Well, it's definitely through-composed, admirably so. (It's also very undermixed but I guess that's par for the course these days.) The ...
