Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah this might be the best Mad Max score, oddly enough. I do like Jarre's, but was never a fan of May's. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Did anyone else notice Verdi's requiem in the movie score? Classy touch to add Dies Irae wrath in the middle of mayhem. Also, was one of the brides the same model in Transformers 3? That recurrent downwards motif that is heard, for example, herehttps://youtu.be/MgYnKu8RYAU?t=19I think it is sampled, or at least derived, from this instance of Verdi's Dies Irae (at the 6 seconds mark, more or less)https://youtu.be/ZDFFHaz9GsY=6I'd like to know what more musically educated and sensible members of this forum make of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Jarre's, but was never a fan of May's.May's first is too overbearing. But the one for The Road Warrior is rather good. Though many see it is a holy grail and thats far too much praise.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Holkenborgs score works remarkably well in the film. But it doesn't have much of anything when it comes to sophistication or complexity.If you can't hear sophistication in Immortan's Citadel (the score's standout track) then you're deaf.Well, by the time you reach that track, you already are, thanks to Holkenborg's overly loud music.

Jacck 23 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Can't understand the attention this score has been getting. To me it's merely a whole load of clichéd, abrasive stock cinematic gestures repeated ad nauseam... Well mixed and produced, however. I suspect that for some, Junkie's name is influencing how the work is perceived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 It's a solid and effective work for the film it was written for.Its not gonna please the JW/Horner/Barry crowd naturally.Its not any less overbearing as the other Mad Max scores though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I would never buy or listen to that type of score separate from the movie. It did work perfectly for the film, though. Not every score needs to be a conceptual masterpiece of standalone art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,013 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Oh yeah, the music. I think it generally added very little. True, this approach worked well with the film's primal brutality. But then, it's just one more thing on top, nothing that really enriches it any. Everything the music says was already on screen before. I'm not saying you should have a 19th century orchestra in there with dozen themes flying all around. But there wasn't anything particularly imaginative or original about this score, even in its own niche.So, the score neither made it worse nor better. It's just there, doing exactly what you'd imagine it would.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The method Holkenborg chose certainly has validity. But its not exactly innovative.
