  1. Welp, I guess it's not a leak any more now that a Chinese poster has confirmed it for certain. Also spoiled in the trailer (thumbnail doesn't spoil)
  2. He can't take all of the blame. Wingard is on record as saying this: Source I should mention that the Godzilla fanfare first appeared in King Kong Vs. Godzilla, and the main theme never scored Godzilla itself until Terror of Mechagodzilla. Very tragic, indeed. By that very metric, wasn't Ifukube himself being 'insincere' for using it for the Showa Godzilla in the end, since Godzilla had effectively become a superhero at that point and not the original tragic allegory for nuclear weapons?
  3. More I've heard Junkie XL defenders saying Bear McCreary 'just copied the old themes', which is really reductionist. Yes: he borrowed and updated both Godzilla's theme from the 1954 film, and Yuji Koseki's Mothra theme, but he also wrote a lot of new material that fits alongside these new interpretations of those themes. I can remember quite well the motifs he established for Monarch, Serizawa's goodbye, Bear's original King of the Monsters theme that both opens and closes out the film etc. Beyond the main two themes, I cannot recall one note of GvK's score.
  4. Hmmmm I wonder to whom/what this track is referring to EDIT: Yes, indeed, that is a track containing an obvious knock-off to that theme. I honestly wish I could say "I don't know why I expected different", but the truth is I didn't expect any different, and that's just plain sad. Was using that theme 'insincere' too, Wingard and Holkenborg?
  5. The thread was originally about the film, we just happen to be talking about the score here too, so I'll probably add him in.
  6. I definitely feel a bit more subtlety in the reprised material here than in Afterlife's soundtrack, but overall I think I like this one just as much as Afterlife, and I reckon it will grow on me more with repeated listens.
  7. That's basically how I'm looking at this. Coupled with the fact I've never heard this composer's work before (similarly, I had never heard any of Simonsen's before Afterlife) I'm going into this with an open mind.
  8. The moment we knew Peter Bernstein was coming back, it was kind of obvious this was the route they were going to go. However... the "dropping whole cues or cutting and pasting different cues together and dropping them over the film" does give me hope the OST will have more original material.
  9. Ah, then there's no way for me, since I do not get paid until the end of the month 🙃 Pity.
  10. Nice! I wonder how long that's on for? Because those trombones sound great and I have neither money nor a big enough drive to put them on right now, so I'll have to wait to be able to buy that
  11. The main theme for Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire
  12. He might not have won the Oscar, but who needs a crummy piece of metal shaped like a nondescript fellow anyway? He has a whole building named in his honour, I'd say that beats an Oscar.
  13. The game was shit, but this commercial was pretty fun
