crocodile 8,416 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I was underwhelmed when it first came out but grew quite fond of it. Great symphonic composition it probably isn't but I appreciate its directness and shorthand. It's actually quite memorable too. There are 3-4 themes that I can easily remember. The album is very well assembled so you don't really anything beyond it. It also helps that I rather like this film. Both film and score are underrated. Definitely better than Van Helsing. Give it a go @Jay! It's not a long album. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 4,089 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Having added War of the Worlds to my Intrada cart in the hopes of finding something to share its shipping, and realising they'd listed the shipping wrong on their 'policies' page (it's only $15, not $25), that's now winging its way to me. And I finally got round to actually comparing the sound quality with the OST. Holy. Freaking Crap. I realise I'm late to the party on this one, but it sounds like it was recorded yesterday...

Jay 39,171 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It's kinda shocking that the sound for a score from 2005 could be improved so much! Of course credit goes to Mike for his restoration work, but I think it really highlights that some bad decisions were made when mastering the original OST album. Both albums started from the exact same Pro Tools sessions after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amer 2,211 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yes the sound quality is astonishingly good. Exactly what I had expected(and hoped) I have yet to open my copy of MINORITY REPORT. I hear it sounds equally good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,171 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Minority Report is similarly improved, though I don't think the MR OST sounded as bad as the WOTW OST so it's not quite as noticeable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
