Not a fan of that opening ostinato-driven idea though. I agree wholeheartedly. I have to say, reading the blog before hearing anything from the score got my hopes up maybe a little too much. Also, at 3:22, is that a guy throwing a trash can at a swinging hook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KK 3,307 Posted March 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2016 Lol yeah. Not sure what that accomplishes when it just ends up sounding like a dampened bass drum sample in the final thing anyway. McCreary always gives me mixed signals. He clearly has a lot of interesting ideas, but it's almost always bogged down by just as much of the generic imho. Definitely plenty of potential though.

karelm 2,901 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 There is much to admire in this score. First of all, it demonstrates a unique voice. This is clearly Bear. Second, it demonstrates dramatic skill and talent that is rare. Third, it shows a reverence to the past. There is so much in this score that is informed by Herrmann, Goldsmith, and others without being derivative. Very well done! Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,266 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 When John Williams was 37, he had yet to write Jaws. Heck, he had yet to write Jane Eyre, Cowboys, Images, The Eiger Sanction or the Irwin Allen disaster movies. The Reivers would have been his most notable score to date, beyond his TV work. When Michael Giacchino was 37, he had yet to write a major film score or start working on LOST. All he had behind him was ALIAS, obscure indie movies, and a slew of video games.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The Incredibles is a masterpiece? I mean it's a good score, but it's a John Barry/Henry Mancini pastiche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Goldsmith wrote 'The Blue Max' and 'The Sand Pebbles' when he was 37. 'Planet of the Apes' with 38. And even before that he wrote tons of stuff that i think would make both McCreary and Giacchino blush. Masterpiece, my ass. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWMike 117 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 10 Cloverfield Lane was for sure his best film score so far! This 'God of War' overture I posted earlier is growing on me. I must be on around 10 plays already. Bear talks about the project in his latest blog post http://www.bearmccreary.com/#blog/blog/video-games/god-of-war-at-e3/ and explains that after the overture he conducted the live orchestra to accompany the guy playing the demo live for the crowd. How cool is that? As seen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have stripped back his tv shows to around 5 at once, which is basically nothing for Bear, and he's doing bigger films. Those few Horror films and 10 Cloverfield Lane were a good small start, but now he's taking on more and bigger sci-fi's. JWMike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
