Quintus 5,399 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The unresolved piano motif which is the focus of the entire score is a classy example of how to make a fairly minimal amount of music go a long way. Again, it's another deceptively simple idea and a relatively short melody at work; something which Michael Giacchino (who struggles with thematic development and seems stuck with short melodic phrases) could learn much from. That provocative synthy timpani though, it's beyond Gia I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album features some more obligatory stingers and stuff like that so it might not be all that smooth listen. But it's core is quite tender and melodic. I would say quite an accomplished work, especially compared to many other titles like this. And the film is very good too. Anyway... The Blue Max (Tadlow) Karol Will check it out then!

Jay 37,367 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Michael Giacchino - Zootopia Meh - easily Giacchino's worst score. I guess he wasn't too inspired by the film. The first half of the OST is a lot of wacky and ethnic sounds, the second is a lot of dark brooding material (Locke's Theme from LOST makes an appearance). Even the ending suite didn't save it for me. Hopefully I'll like it more upon further listens >shrug< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Rey Meets BB-8 + The Rathtars = a reworking of The Stegosaurus from The Lost World. What annoys me about Han and Leia is how the beginning is just a quote of ESB. To be perfectly honest, the Han/Leia love theme has never sounded right since ESB. I don't know what it is. It just feels out of place on the OST, along with Snoke. I just want a leaner faster-paced album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye gods! IYHO. Idiomatically TFA doesn't stray too far from it and there is a genuine sense of architecture to the Spielberg movie that TFA decidedly lacks: a lot of cues go from one place to another without offering much, construction-wise. And while TFA has much better themes and stand-alone cues, i am done with it in about 35 minutes (which still is a lot, but y'know, Star Wars and so on...).
