Popular Post Jay 37,281 Posted September 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2021 A store in Taiwan has the OST CD for sale early Also, an early review from the FSM thread Quote I have been fortunate to receive an advance copy of the score. Made available to the press. Just had a quick listen to some of the cues. This is much better than I anticipated. Not a Zimmer sound design experiement at all. Very, very melodious in the slower cues. The action cues are a cross between Arnolds QoS and Newman. The brass is as Bondian as you can get. And. And. Boys and girls….John Barry is in there. Not just as an inspiration. Actual quotes from We Have All the Time in the World. Intervoven with snippets of the Eilish song. And a full, slower version of Barry’s OHMSS main titles. The James Bond theme is in there, but sparingly. Muscular, pounding phrases of it. Might be more of it in the film, than on the score. Not much Marr-guitar to be heard, so far. https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&threadID=130493&archive=0 And another review from a Facebook post Quote Without giving away anything, the second track ("Matera") creates instant goosebumps as it contains a musical cue that Bond fans across the globe cherish very much (no...it's not the JB theme yet). It is poignant. Although there are many audible influences of David Arnold and Thomas Newman, Zimmer's brute and violent side shines through and dominates much of the score. The Cuba track starts very erratic and continues the overall drum-driven score. A highlight mid-track is the short shift into a few second of Cuban Mambo...or is it a Cha-Cha...Salsa even? ?? Then, quite abruptly, back into brutal drums. It's like a rollercoaster ride. The Bond theme is appropriately used throughout with those moody guitar riffs beautifully shining through. "Back to MI6" utilises the prominent part of the Bond theme. And then again...goosebumps! Track 11 ("Good to have you back") is an entire rendition of another theme of the series. Quite a surprise. The piano segments of the Billie Eilish title song make an appearance in the next track, halfway through the score. Track 13 delivers a title theme rendition in quite a haunting manner. The Norway Chase is typical Zimmer - drums, choir and strings, infused with Bond-esque trumpets. For the final 90 seconds it picks up considerable pace but fails to impress me. From track 15 onwards, Zimmer presents the finale of the film. At first, it's minimalistic and eerie, especially Track 17 ("The Factory") which features long, ascending string segments. Track 19 ("Opening the Doors") goes back to full-blown action with rich drum/trumpet arrangements and thick layers of usual Zimmer overload. The final track before the Billie Eilish title theme, entitled "Final Ascent", starts subtle and then turns somewhat melancholic, repeating the title theme piano and reducing the track down to it. Where I expected an action piece, I got a very strange and incredibly sad vibe from the music...like something big was ending. Soaring strings and piano that have the potential to make you tear up. It sounds like deep pain and big loss. The end is abrupt and it leaves you with a big question mark. It is the end of an era and I think, the music reflects that well. Overall, Zimmer's score is a mix of moody pieces, nostalgic excursions to past Bond scores and ear-piercing, drum-laden action tracks á la Zimmer. Musically, it fits well into the Daniel Craig era sound but I would personally rate it much higher than what Thomas Newman delivered for the last two films. My favourite part is the first half (Tracks 01 - 13), after that I didn't really feel any connection to it without having seen the film itself. https://www.facebook.com/TheBondBulletin/posts/2038226773007209 Will, Naïve Old Fart and WampaRat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from the early reviews of the score it sounds like a great melodic action romp akin to WW84. Glad Zimmer decided not to think about this one too hard and “reinvent” the sound. 😀 Can’t wait!

Tallguy 3,361 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It's good. It's solid good. OTOH if you're going to structure a score based on the Bond Theme, Arnold has just about done it all, hasn't he? Matera is actually a really good track before it turns into what it does. But then No Time To Die starts to play and I catch my breath. Well done. I never hated the Newman Bonds like many do. They're OK. But they're not ones that I go back to either. This will probably fall into that category as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post publicist 4,643 Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 After the awful 'MI Part XIVVI' (or whatever it was, by Lorne Balfe), i harbored little hope for the next almost-dead franchise 'saved' by RCP. But apart from it being not being particularly great or distinctive, at least Zimmer and team produced a solid album with some stylish moments (which seem to be reserved for the expensive establishing shots, the rest is more or less standard mood scoring with the JB theme entering now and then). At least the unbearable noisy action cues are kept in check (some feature even fun counter trumpets, i. e. Cuba Chase). The outstanding stuff is exclusively Barry, of course, and its only the usual tip of the hat for the fanboys, but man, you listen up when these OHMSS references come in and ask yourself why current film music is what it is. Is stuff like that not good enough for movies nowadays? Jurassic Shark, toothless, Romão and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame producers/directors will push for references to the classics, but are so rigid in wanting music to be nothing more than nice background wallpaper. I think it just makes these scores sound strange that there are moments of pastiche-driven callbacks that end up feeling alien to the rest of the score. How do you go from melody-driven romanticism to post modern droning sound design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 987 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I think that's been my main issue with NTTD, in that it basically sheds the pastiche after a certain point, and becomes so strongly drenched in near direct lifts from Zimmer's past efforts, no doubt thanks to the time crunch and temp track love. WW84 runs into a bit of a similar issue, but it has plenty of narrative and thematic tissue to justify it (as well as still being able to forge a solid identity of its own). Perhaps the full score is able to amend these issues a bit, but as is, it's quite unfortunate that the score's strongest suits are purely tied to either previous efforts in the franchise or HZ's own work. And yet, I still had fun? Dune is technically the more cohesive and sonically interesting effort, but this just hits all my buttons for a trashy RCP effort that I can totally vibe with. I just wish it wasn't so derivative, since I really can't think of another Hans score that is this blatant in recycling everything. Then again, I probably still would rather any of this than whatever much of BvS was. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyO 62 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I really like it up until the final few tracks. What I presume is the third act. And it's not that I dislike the final tracks but they seem the most derivative for me. But my bigger issue is that the Spectre album had the same problem - the final act devolves into a wall of sound, continuous churning with not much variation. On the other hand, Cuba Chase is a wonderful return to Arnold's style and feels like where Arnold was heading with Quantum of Solace. I also really enjoy Message From An Old Friend - there's something interesting in the way it builds up to what I assume is the big action set piece shown in trailers. I also appreciate that Zimmer wasn't tempted to overuse Johnny Marr as a gimic, ala the drum circle in Man of Steel. I find Marr's contributions accentuate the greater whole. I'll be having this album on repeat for a while. My only wish is that the final set piece had gone balls-out like Arnold used to do (see All In A Day's Work, Submarine and Perla De Las Dunas). One other gripe. The score kind of just ends. The final track is an emotionally manipulative Time from Inception lift. It's pleasant enough but doesn't resolve. I presume the film will end with a Bond theme rendition, which I suspect will be Arnold's arrangement since it featured so heavily in the official podcast for the film.
