Love the crazy-souped-up jazz stuff in Jujutsu Kaisen, so much vibrant energy and chaos!

Epic show and epic score for the second season.

Frieren's great, both the music and the anime! Charming, heartwarming, epic and memorable. The main theme is beautiful, and Zooltrak is a banger!
 
The full album comes out when the season is over, sometime in April according to this.
 
Evan Call is such a great composer, and his work is usually beautiful and emotional, but also epic and exciting when it needs to. I hold a special place in my heart for his Violet Evergarden score, as that was the one I first heard from him!
 
I recently watched the first two eps of Solo Leveling and Sawano's doing the music. So far, quite similar to his AoT scores, but there's a cue on the second episode which was quite chilling in context, and I feel he will deliver some great tracks for the show, which so far seems to be really interesting.

Everyone will have a different understanding of what Star Wars is and what it means to them. 
 
 

Well, they can't ever stray too far out of the nostalgia-grabbing zone because then people complain - stay too close and people complain still. So it's just stuck in this position of being marketed one way that tries to please everyone. I ageee with James Cameron that at least the Prequels were more imaginative even if they had some lacklustre storytelling.
 
The Mandalorian is good, but so far it's riding on the iconography of Star Wars without doing it's own thing. I really think they, Disney, whoever's making future films has to take greater risks in shifting the status quo of Star Wars into a more expansive universe.

Damn Vinyl! What about CD?!

Shame on the Oscars for snubbing this score. Deserved to be up there more than Joker. What a joke.

I should clarify here, because in my haste to write my last post, I came off sounding rather anti-Thor; Whilst I'm fed up with Thor's opinion on C&C releases, I have for the most part of my time here in this forum found his critique and general film opinions to be fairly agreeable. 
 
I just can't abide with the anti-C&C critique...

I'd say an expansion of this quality being released thirty plus years after the release of the film is no laughing matter, nor is it something to turn one's nose up at. 
When these sets are as miraculous as they are to come to fruition, against the odds of studio money and interest, it baffles me that there exists a subset, albeit tiny I'm aware, of people who will insist on backhandedly snubbing these things as inferior. 
 
I'm not in the habit of messing around on here, but for fuck's sake, after all these years I'm so tired of seeing Thor's childish arguments and stance against these releases. 
 
Listening experience is something as subjective as the type of derriere someone prefers, but with these expansions comes the cleanest, clearest sonic improvements that do directly affect listening experience. Why would I want to listen to the 1991 compilation when it sounds like a turd in comparison to later releases? 
 
I'm going to say something controversial here, but to hell with Williams' intended listening experience. Nine times out of ten, I find his editorial decisions to go against what my preferred listening experience is. How many decades are we supposed to wait to hear cues that Williams thought ought to be cut? Or cues that had portions microedited out? 
 
I'm thirty now, and scores like those for the Star Wars prequels remain for the most part incomplete and unavailable to listen to in their full form outside of the films - how many more decades am I going to wait to get a release?
 
When it happens in 2030, I'm going to find Thor on here, opining that he doesn't need them and the OSTs were more than enough...
 
Yeah, well waiting, hoping, asking, buying release after release with the promise of future expansions is more than enough for a lifetime.

@QuartalHarmony already summed up my thoughts and I had nothing to add. I certainly wasn't going to bring the mood down on New Years by responding to your cringe attempts at baiting me.
 
There's simply way too much love and hard work that went into this gorgeous album and I'd rather celebrate that, than engage with someone reminding everyone for the millionth time about their indifference towards these releases, while gorging on the fruits of their labour.

Holy hell, you seriously have the gall to not only gloat about illegally pirating the set (which Jay, Mike and dozens of other people spent 8 YEARS working on) but turn around and not only complain that it doesn't interest you, but boast about how impressed you are with your newfound playlist of pirated materials? Are you seriously this tone deaf or is the whole contrarian schtick an intentional parody at this point?
 
Here's an idea. Instead of reminding everyone for the millionth time about how little you give a shit about these expansions, why don't you support the people working their asses off to make them a reality?
 
Better yet, say nothing at all! Especially if you're going to gloat about pirating the very thing you've spent a decade whinging about.

What's real anymore?
