    SourBork reacted to leeallen01 in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Disney Records Original Soundtrack Album) - NO FILM SPOILERS!   
    Just got done with my first listen through.
     
    (Haven't seen the film. Not really interested because it doesn't look good, and I already know by the state of modern cinema, that it's going to be an overly-long, CGI-filled mess that's all about Phoebe Waller-Bridge, whilst Indy is told he's an old, washed-up relic that has just given up on life and has got divorced from Marion and is a dead-beat dad.) If anything I said was spoilers, then that's kinda sad how predictable they treat him, considering I have no idea what happens in the film.
     
    But anyway, onto the score haha.
     
    I enjoyed my listen through. But I noticed that it's dominated by Helena's theme (which already tells me a lot about the film). Her theme has some nice variation, but the opening phrase of her theme is used too much.
     
    Indy feels basically none-existent in this score, except for a couple of moments. 
     
    If you told me this was a score to an Indy spinoff where he isn't in the film, but is mentioned casually a couple of times, then I'd believe you.
     
    I don't recall a single time in the score where Indy's themes are given huge, grand, heroic moments that last for a nice while. He just gets a couple melancholic moments (which are lovely, like in the piece 'To Morocco').
     
    But overall, it's nice to hear Johnny do another action/adventure score, however it never feels like an Indy score for me. It's more like a spinoff film score for Helena.

    There'll be chances for inferior seating all around the arena, same as any other auditorium setting. I'd have thought the choir seating are fairly safe bets though.

    SO HAPPY for the people who managed to grab tickets today! John Williams conducting the London Symphony in the Royal Albert Hall. I mean come on, it's a dream!
     
    Also, huge thoughts and feelings to anyone who missed out, because it is horrible. I remember for years watching all my American friends getting to see him year after year and I couldn't afford to fly over there to see him, and it was crushing for so long. I even tried a few years back where I booked flights, hotel and tickets for Boston, which he then cancelled last minute due to health problems. That destroyed me and left me broke for a while. But then the Chicago tickets went onsale this year, and I said screw money, and just went, still in total fear that something would go wrong. But it didn't. It was a dream come true and the 2 concerts I attended, sat in the choir stalls, watching him face-on conducting, was un-bloody-believable! So I know both sides of the coin, the heartbreak of missing out, and the dream of finally seeing him conduct.
     
    I wish I was able to get choir seats today so I could pass on my circle seats to someone who desperately wanted them.

    My comment is perfectly calm. You however come across as borderline unsound and fragile. We're discussing music and I don't believe your assumptions about the process of making this music relate to the actual music in the film.
