#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Charlie reviews the album.Second paragraph: "It's a big task".That is not a spelling mistake.In England "a big ask" is a term that means "a task that difficult to fulfill"http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/a-big-askJust trying to make you guys' reviews look more professional!Nice try, but you are just showcasing your ignorance when it comes to the English language.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think if you have professional credits under your belt the term "amateur" is no longer true. The negation of that concept is also true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallenger 483 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 To be perfectly honest, Gia's usage of Williams' material isn't any better than Davis'. It might be either performance or arrangements but those themes don't really feel right. It's a like a badly selected take from a score of a completely different composer. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Perhaps it's a good thing he doesn't rely so heavily on those.Other than that, it's not a bad score by any means. It probably won't convert many new people to the just cause but it does show improvement in writing. Action music is actually less cursory than usual. Not that it has a terribly complex architecture (like Williams or Davis) but at least it's dressed up a bit more cleverly. You know, a lot of woodwind runs, percussion, more interesting melodic lines. Giacchino references Williams more in the overall approach and orchestrations (at least generally), rather than themes. And it's not a bad thing, actually.His main theme is an interesting one and a bit curious. The first section isn't memorable at all but the B part is actually quite nice and deserve to be in this series (at 1:17). I like that he often cites the first three notes of Williams' main theme at the end (1:44 and 3:49). It's a bit like Elfman/Silvestri combo in Age of Ultron: It's curious, though, that this theme does not show up in the suite.KarolThanks for the additional info! I am happy to hear that despite not quoting his themes more that he instead goes for a more Williams sound in general. That is almost better anyway, and I could tell from many clips and film clips. That is curious that the "As the Jurassic World Turns" theme is not in the suite. Considering how freaking long it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think if you have professional credits under your belt the term "amateur" is no longer true. The negation of that concept is also true. Not to mention an Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think if you have professional credits under your belt the term "amateur" is no longer true. The negation of that concept is also true. That's complete bull. Having professional credits doesn't prevent the composer's music from sounding bad or amateurish. If anything, it makes the term "amateurish" more applicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It's always striking when a great composer's theme is being used by a greatly less talented composer of the new generation, and it's so painfully obvious when the subtle and nuanced touch, and the striking harmonies, flow into the mundane and generic compositions of said new composer. It's a bit less painful that, say, in the Potter films by Hooper, but it's still aggravating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The underscore and action music are what truly kill that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I consider that theme (well, the score in general) the only real saving grace of TLW, so I wouldn't have been at all against hearing more of it here.
