Ludwig Goransson - CREED (Rocky spin-off)

[Ricard 2,245]

For those who don't know, this is the seventh chapter in the Rocky series, this time presenting Rocky Balboa as a trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson, the son of his late friend and former rival Apollo Creed.

I have yet to hear the score in the film but I have the feeling that Ludwig Goransson has nailed it. I'm really enjoying the blend of styles in most of the tracks on the album, with or without the cameos of Conti's themes, and I absolutely love the main theme!

Oh and even at the FSM board there seems to be a consensus that this is one of the best scores of 2015.

Here are a couple of examples:

(Disregard the dialogue at the beginning)

It's great fun. A bit like a Media Ventures score in good.

Here's a nice combination of the classic Conti themes and Goransson's brilliant main theme for the film:

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

Do the samples have really bad sound quality? It sounds so small.

[King Mark 3,631]

you know there's an absolute lack of interesting movies coming out these past 2 weeks (and until Star Wars) when I'm considering seeing this film by lack of other choice

[Thor 7,495]

I've now sampled it on Spotify after all the hooplah, and I must say that it does absolutely nothing for me (or very little, at the most).
