publicist 4,643 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Listen again! And again! And again!Till you like it!KarolNah Karol, it won't help. Upon closer examination i think there are much more dead ends than i thought initially. Cues that are short to begin with and don't go anywhere, begin promisingly but then fizzle out, or just lie there. A few cues worth having - preferably in a Newman/Bond general playlist - but in this case i may say that this musical chest of wonders Sharky and Pilgrim have found is completely over my head.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The eternally long stretches of ambient noises in this score are hard to tolerate for anyone who values melody.Those sorts of moments are why I also find parts of the LotR EE material snooze worthy and musically redundant. The same one note sheer strings played ad infinitum is as tedious to me as any Newman ambience is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,013 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 To be honest, all film composers are guilty of that. In one way or another. It's in the nature of this medium.To all the guys who don't like this score. Do you think it might have more to do with the 80-minute running time than it does with the actual content?Karol - who can't wait to see the film tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The album definitely needs trimming, just like the other Newman Bond. But Skyfall's content is just better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedigoScan 324 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 To be honest, I do wish I had seen the movie before checking out the scoreWith Skyfall I definitely felt the music stood out a lot and I wanted to hear it again.Now with Spectre I cannot be sure if the music is as memorable, because I already know what it sounds likeand again. I do prefer having the choice of what track to skip, over the album choosing for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 To be honest, all film composers are guilty of that. In one way or another. It's in the nature of this medium.Absolutely. Which is why the pro complete release argument can sometimes come across as obsessive and specialist only. Because there's plenty of filler underscore out there which just doesn't demand to be 'owned' by the listener; they only want it because they don't have it and they know it exists. OST presentations are often perfectly fine as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So when Thomas Newman apparently includes some of that sort of thing on his OST then we shouldn't really be surprised when listeners like myself say the album is a bit mediocre or even crappy, at least in part.

crocodile 8,013 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 You're right. I myself never said his album assembly is any good. I sort of ignore that in my reviews for the most part. I try to find out what their intention might have been and whether it works (for the film). The album presentation is a separate issue. The older I am the less I like 70+ albums. There are only a few scores that deserve that kind of running time.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedigoScan 324 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 There is always at least one track they leave off an album that I wished had been on thereAlways (even on those Hobbit releases)Not to mention I am very much a completionistOn the flipside, there is usually a track on the album that I always skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
