Like Seth MacFarlane decapitated Elfman in the FAMILY GUY/STAR WARS episode. I'm a big fan of both Elfman and Junkie XL, so while I can't really partake in the 'laughing-at-them' in either of these cases, it's a slightly amusing way to launch criticism for the critic, I guess.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The score in general is top tier, but I've never been able to endure Williams' sugary vocal writing and I dislike his broader choral oeuvre outside of a select few (the scary Close Encounters stuff, Duel of the Fates...). Voices are, I feel, not the Maestro's strong suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voices are, I feel, not the Maestro's strong suit. Songs may not be his forte (although he's made a few really good ones), but voices and especially choral music is definitely his strong suit. I absolutely adore the choral harmonies in A.I. towards the end of the film, when the aircraft flies through the ice digs.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I like when he brings in a chorus to compliment the orchestra (Jurassic Park), but that's often my limit with Williams and voices. For that sort of thing I generally much prefer Howard Shore's style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 It's atonal again though isn't it, like the Close Encounters stuff I love. He excels at that style. It's the sugar I can't stand.

Brónach 1,301 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hymn to the Fallen is boring and so is the film itself. Nothing to do with the choral awesomenes of some parts of Empire of the Sun, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
