Tracks like Lapti Nek and Yub Nub add so much flavor to the score. Return of the Jedi by John Williams Some great material (Into the Trap, The Forest Battle, Alliance Assembly) and some oddball but still loveable stuff (Jabba the Hutt, Ewok theme). Great.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The Amazing Spider-Man It's a surprisingly bland Horner. Elfman's scores were way better. There's still some good stuff in here, most of the usual Horner trademarks. I like the tender romantic stuff, although I still give the edge to Elfman.

Elfman knew how to make it tender, too! There's some real heart-swelling stuff in his two scores.

Bohemian Rhapsody alone is enough to come to this conclusion. I think he really had a singular compositional sense. He could have been better than those two.

I like quite a few bands/solo artists these days, but melodically i can clearly trace back everything i like to another song from the 60's to 80's. I once sat through whole Belle & Sebastian concert and was so annoyed how they Hornered so much 60's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
