Can’t tell much of a difference between the last 4 album assembly tracks and it’s revisions/alternates. ‘Angel Family’ cue (disc 2 track 20 ) is rearranged/reedited/assembled from portions of both versions.

They look like cosplayers which doesn't surprise me at all.

The Goosebumps TV show theme was cheesy anyway. Plus I didn't think it captured the tone of the books either, imo.

Don't understand the antipathy toward the Brian May scores.
I'll take these over Junkie's percussive droning anyday.

The most intimate score of the trilogy, imo. Lasiurus is a very effective ambient and mysterious track that still resonates with me for some reason.

While looking at Vision’s face on that EW cover I’m getting a Peter Weller Robocop vibe.

I don’t think the season 5 finale needed to be 90 minutes long. And the number of 4 -5 minute commercial breaks took away from the episode’s suspense and pacing, imo. However I still thought it was a good episode to an otherwise excellent season. And as for the upcoming cash grab/spin off I’ll probably check it out out of curiosity if anything.

Well with today being Friday the 13th…

Anyways it's pretty cool to have the king of superhero scores assist the MCU music department's golden boy on this project.
That would be Zimmer.
Elfman superhero/comic book based scoresBatman, Batman Returns, Dick Tracy, Darkman , Spider-Man 1 and 2, Hulk, Hellboy 2, Wanted, and MIB Trilogy. And additional music for Avengers 2.Elfman superhero/comic book based themesTales From The Crypt and The Flash (90s tv show)I'll even throw this in.Zimmer doesn’t come closeThe Dark Knight Trilogy, Megamind, Man Of Steel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and the upcoming Batman V. Superman. -
Disney unveiled the terrible one-sheet artwork.

Interesting how the crew legend says "Additional Music By Danny Elfman". Elfman wouldn't get billed on the main credits if they tracked in some of his music, would he?
Did not see that coming. Wonder if he’ll be involved in anymore upcoming MCU movies? Anyways it's pretty cool to have the king of superhero scores assist the MCU music department's golden boy on this project. Now if only Marvel could hire John Williams to compose the themes or scores to Avengers: Infinity Wars Part I and II and we’ll be set. -

Thanks Lonzoe, I'll definitely check it out. I'm a fan of Bacon's other work. Have you heard Source Code? One of the best main titles in recent years!
Varese and a youtuber separately edited their own suites from Bates Motel on YT. Check it out.
Yes I've heard and even own Bacon's Source Code. And I agree about the main titles. I also adore "Frozen Moment".

It really tugs the heartstrings. Especially during the context of the movie.
Interesting coincidence that Vera Farmiga (Miss Bates) is also featured in Source Code.

I’m not as good at giving reviews as others up here, but here goes…. I’m a casual viewer of the show. And Source Code got me into Bacon’s music. Bates Motel is an ambient score that not only explores (as does the show itself) the psychology of a young Norman Bates and his unorthodox relationship with his mother but also the mystery behind certain characters and events of White Pine Bay that crosses Norma and Norman’s path. Bacon came up with plenty of motifs that either depicts Norma, Norman , the mother and son bond between Norma and Norman, the romance between Norman and Bradley, the brotherly bond between Dylan and Norman, the mysterious town of White Pine Bay, etc. It has it share of bleak, macabre, and even tender moments. Fans of the show and Bacon should check it out.

An underrated score that I felt was a vast improvement over Zimmer's previous scores from the same genre.

I thought Raimi instigated that feud, getting Elfman kicked from the project?
Elfman actually walked away from S-M2 .
I thought Elfman's Spider-Man scores were mostly forgettable and mediocre. I dug the gothic black suit material from Spider-Man 3, which I actually thought screamed "Elfman!" more than anything in the previous scores, but apparently he wasn't involved with that one because he decided to repeat his director/composer feud with Sam Raimi in the role of Tim Burton.
Where can I find out/hear more about this feud?
A quote from Elfman about it.
"I'm not working on Spider-Man 3. I'm out of that. I won't miss not doing it. Spider-Man 2 was a miserable experience. It's like my connection with Sam got completely severed. As far as I'm concerned, he went to sleep, somebody put a pod next to him and when he awoke, he wasn't the same person I'd known for a decade" says Elfman. "He went from right there number two on my list of favorite directors to the exact opposite of what I look for in a film experience which is everything I could do on Spider-Man 1, I couldn't do on Spider-Man 2. He got so intensely attached to the temp music that I couldn't even adapt my own music close enough. Let me put it that way. I couldn't get close enough to me, least of all anybody else who was in the temp score."
You will hear Elfman's theme in "Spider-Man 3" in any case because Raimi owns it - "He can do whatever he wants. It's the first time I've ever walked from a director in 20 years and hoefully the last time I have to turn my back on somebody but it became like intolerable. And I've been on some heavy duty films, so to say that, it had to be pretty bad. I've been in war zones you couldn't believe in 55 films but this is the first time I said, 'I've had it. It's just not worth it. I'd rather go back to waiting tables than to do Spider-Man 2 again, to have to have the same experience."

Raimi finally opened up about it while promoting that Oz prequel at a press conference back in 2013. And he took most of the blame for the feud even happening. Check out 14:24

Spider-man 3 isnt nearly as bad as some make it out to be.
Yeah, no, it is.
I thought it was better than the first one, although that's probably colored by how much I prefer Young's score to any other Spider-Man efforts.
Meh! Young's is my least favorite score of the five movies. And it only added to the many problems I had with the 3rd movie

Don't have much interest in the film and score either only posted this news for those who were curious about it.

Up there with the best superhero scores, imo. Ant-who?
