Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'll probably get this. Damn May is a great month for scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 This will have to be a wait for me. I like Elfman a lot and was happy he rebounded with Hellboy II and Wanted after the dreadful The Kingdom, but as Nick said, there's not even a track listing for this one yet and its out in a month. That seems odd, but whatever, it doesn't influence me either way. I nearly always wait until I watch the film before I pick up the soundtrack, with John Williams being the lone exception. Though I did pre-order Star Trek, so maybe Giacchino will be added to my exclusive pre-order list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I will pre-order this the second I discover that this not an "Inspired By" album (or something similar), though it seems like we will have to endure a rap song regardless.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Actually from the trailers, from the standpoint of big robots kicking ass and causing awesome mayhem, Terminator 4 may just out-transformer Transformers 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Considering Linkin Park wrote an original song which is now being incorporated into the score as a theme, I wouldn't be surprised if I like Elfman's T4 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Oh, you misunderstood. Perhaps I should have been more clear.BREAKING NEWS: Linkin Park will be working on the score for Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen. Although I wasn't at liberty to say it before, the song I've been referencing here on mikeshinoda.com in the past few weeks...is actually being done for Michael Bay's new Transformers film, due out June 24th. In addition--and probably ever cooler--we have been offered the unique opportunity to help score the film. The song we wrote is being used as one of the themes, and we will be writing various interpolations on that theme, and trying out some other thematic ideas as part of the (very large) team scoring the film. My bandmates and I are working with award-winning film composer (and resident bottom-kicker) Hans Zimmer. We met with Hans last week, and heard some of the incredible things he and his guys have done with our new song. In the next few days, we'll be doing some work with Hans' amazing writing and recording crew. Michael Bay has shown us select scenes from the film, and it looks incredible. I can't wait for you to see it. - MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I was surprised his name was even mentioned. Perhaps he is producing the score or supervising the Jabman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well looks like the film is gonna end with a rock song, how inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QMM 4 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 The last thing I will touch upon, is the music. I usually enjoy soundtracks from all kinds of movies, and I did like the steel on steel sounds that has been with Terminator at least since Terminator 2. I wasn’t expecting great new music I could listen to at any time, but I usually am very fond of Danny Elfmans work, and thought it at times was too loud and big for the movie. Sometimes less is more, and for me, that would have been preferable this time around.from a review at AICNAlso, Elfman will be scoring a Broadway play(or musical I'm not sure) about Houdini starring Hugh Jackman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It is indeed a musical, and I honestly do not care if the music fits the film or not, as I will probably not be seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well looks like the film is gonna end with a rock song, how inappropriate.I love how you instantly judge without even having any idea of what context the song might be in. Have you heard the song itself? It's a very interesting choice for a big budget flick, itself being a premeditation on war, specifically Vietnam, so I don't think this is credit fodder.

Jay 37,376 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 First review I've seen:Getting my first few listens of Elfman's TERMINATOR SALVATION. It's no surprise that I love it, but I wonder if it's excessively aggressive action music will fly with those more apt to be listening to something from Cliff Eidelman's teen lesbian collection. It's one of those scores that the more you listen, the better it gets. I felt the same way about Michael Giacchino's STAR TREK. It really left me confused the first time through, but repeated listens helped bring out the theme and all the composer's ideas.The album is a nice balance between frenetic action and heroic (mostly for brass, strings and percussion), warm humanistic scoring, particularly nice is the solo guitar rendition of the main theme in "Fireside". That same theme is re-stated in the same track on a Celtic & Paraguayan Harp, which I thought might be something you'd hear in a HARRY POTTER score as some cut-rate, Russian-CGI-house-animated fantasy cliche passed through Diagon Alley.Brad Fiedel's original, anvil-crashing TERMINATOR motif does not appear on the album, but Elfman's own main theme and percussion keep the score somewhat in that same musical universe.From a post on the FSM message board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
