WampaRat 1,105 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Has this one been done yet? I asked this back on the filmtracks FB page a year or so ago. Split pretty evenly. Interested to see the results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,501 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 For me, it's actually quite tricky. I voted ID4 first and then changed it to CUTTHROAT. Both mean a lot to me, smack in the middle of my formative film music years. Both of them suffer a bit from 'bombasticism', and CUTTHROAT perhaps moreso because the OST is a bit too long. Meanwhile, STARGATE is my favourite Arnold, which I prefer even over ID4. But both are fantastic scores. Tough choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,439 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I haven't listened to either of them in years. I'll try to on the next few days before answering the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallenger 483 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I don't know what it is about Cutthroat, but over the years I ended up liking it less than I used to. I think it has some amazing standout sequences like the Carriage Chase and basically all of the climax music... but everything inbetween just has become a slog for me. ID4 has a bit more highlights throughout and has more interesting "lulls" compared to Cutthroat. But in a way, both share similar problems.

WampaRat 1,105 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I confess it took me a while to grasp Independence Day. I always preferred Stargate. But listening to the expanded release of ID4 was a terrific experience and for whatever reason something clicked for me and now hold it above Stargate. That being said, the pirate genre has always been a favorite of mine since I was a kid (waaay before the PoTC movies) and the music to Cutthroat Island is just a abashed swashbuckling goodness. So that’s still my pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Cutthroat Island for me. Both are somewhat tiring in their noise and relentless enthusiasm but Debney's score feels tidier, more focused, better performed and recorded.
