ChuckM 1 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Favorite is Steamboy. No competition there. Next would be either Transformers or D-War. They're both pretty good. The TFVG isn't bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivier 5 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I only have, and have only heard, Steamboy, which I like, but I have read much praise of his music for Walt Disney World-- "Celebration" I think the title is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,070 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Let's see, I've heard:The Texas Chainsaw MassacreThe IslandTransformers SteamboyThe first two...are...unlistenable. Transformer is meh, uninspired, Batman Begins 1.5, the best bits from it are by Zimmer. Steamboy is generic media ventures (I see a difference between MV and Hans Zimmer, one group has no talent, one man does) score done on orchestra. Add to that its action parts are just regurgitations of Pearl Harbor. For MV orchestra done right, go listen to Klaus Badelt's The Promise...which is a magnificent score, then tell me Steamboy is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamboy is decent, nothing special IMO, but D-War and the "My Name Is Lincoln" track from The Island are great. Also, his score to Anywhere But Here is very good.

The chance of mortality is very low if you head it off early.No, it's like asking, out of those who enjoy some of his music, which they prefer.Believe me, the day Jablonsky signs on to score Deathly Hallows, I truly will weep and beg for Williams to return, but otherwise just try listening to some more of his stuff before you start comparing him to cancer.Steamboy for example - a very orchestral, thematic approach to scoring. I got it a while ago and the praise it gets (in the context of Jablonsky's talent) around here is justified IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnifex 5 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 You should not bash him that much, the guy can compose if he really wants. Steamboy is one example, one of my big favourites. It is like Rocketeer's little brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckM 1 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 To be honest, although I am a fan of Jablonsky, even I was not particularly impressed with the score to The Island. It has its moments, but scores that are 90% percussion never really hold my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnifex 5 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Wow. Which scores of Silvestri's were less interesting than Steamboy?Exhausting task, I do not want to make a huge list. But I can say almost all. Silvestri simply has problems to stand out. Jablonsky has done it once at least. I am not cursing Silvestri, still waiting for his better than three star score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hmm...I recognize that Silvestri has employed filler scoring methods in cues (strings holding a long note being the chief offender), but I fail to see how scores like Back to the Future Parts I, II, and III, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Stuart Little, and The Polar Express are less interesting than Jablonsky's. Please, enlighten me. Maybe I missed something--are there any specific cues from either composer that jump to mind as more/less interesting? Also, three stars out four or five?

Morlock 11 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have a lot more problems with Silvestri than most do....but to compare him disfavourably to Jablosky is something of a farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
