Quintus 5,399 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm completely indifferent to it.I suppose I could say I prefer Giacchino's The Incredibles, because it has a catchier hook in its melody. And that's about all I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Psycho Pianist 216 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I like it, really funky and great rhythm. Like a crossover between Hawaii Five-O and Barry Gray's (especially the glorious subtle organ riffs in the midst of the mix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score_Fan 36 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I love it. The whole score is great, but that is easily the most fun track to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonStar 57 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I like it too. Not really spectacular but a pretty fun theme and arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,529 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Beefed-up big band jazz music in the style of old crime shows aka MANNIX, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE etc. Even elements of James Bond, David Arnold-style. Sure, it's pretty cool, although it could have benefitted from a bit more dynamic range. It's pretty full-on from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 390 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I prefer this to quasi-symphonic writing by a non-symphonic composer. At least it doesn't take itself seriously.As is, it's really quite flat; this sort of thing can be done so much better. I would have preferred it much busier -much more flamboyantly over the top-, with many more layers and more contrast. But I do appreciate the attempt at nostalgia.

Jilal 569 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The melody gets annoying after a while for me. I prefer Debney's Iron Man 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 If Williams had written something similar people would be reaching orgasms.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I like how people dig Brian Tyler when his sound is the same as RCP.It's not though. He knows how to write non-D-minor music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The main theme is in pure Zimmer fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think you misunderstand the Zimmer hate.It's not really the sound. It's that the same formula is applied to almost every subject matter. From Romans to Pirates to Cryptoconspiracies.He changes the instruments yes, but the music and techniques are the same from film to film to film. Granted Tyler does have an action formula...but the keyword is action. He doesn't apply it where it does not belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,378 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 But this thread isn't about the entire Iron Man 3 score, just the specific Can You Dig It track. I dig that track. The rest of the score is RCPish (though less RCPish than a real RCP score)But I don't think Can You Dig It is very RCPish, really. It sounds like The Incredibles.

Brónach 1,302 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It's not really the sound.Depends. Some of the Zimmer tendencies get on my nerves. Those loud notes that sound so flat (I don't know how to explain it right now). Like in that scene in Gladiator when Russel Crowe says "my name is gladiator". These tend to sound... blank, as if they don't say anything.I remember listening to unreleased parts of At World's End, and goin "oh I like this and this... hum, here are the flat sounds again."But I don't think Can You Dig It is very RCPish, really. It sounds like The Incredibles.If it was RCPish we wouldn't be doing this thread.I like the organ riff in the background and the moment at 1:36 and at 2:01. Perfect despiction of the character in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I watched the film and thought it was great fun. Probably my favourite Iron Man film. It had the entertainment factor that The Avengers was seriously missing.The score was nothing special (I've only heard it in context), but I was amused by the use of Dies Irae for the Mandarin. The score also at times tried to mimic Banes music from TDKR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Where in the cue?It's underscoring most of it, most audible from 60 seconds to 90 seconds. Also listen to the cue "Stark." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I, too, really dug this cue over the (pre-?) end credits. I've heard Tyler's scores in films before, but this one was the first time I really sat up and took notice. CD = ordered.If Williams had written something similar people would be reaching orgasms.Actually it's quite catchy, I like it."The Globetrotters" from A Guide for the Married Man is somewhat of a '60s equivalent. Orgasmic? Perhaps not quite, but I do love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
