LSH 969 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Listening to this now. Wow, it's really very dull... even for a dull Thomas Newman score. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Yeah, that sounded surprisingly static. To be fair, I love this kind of ambient Newman, but in smaller doses spread throughout an album, or with some interesting textures overlaid. But I'll wait untill we (hopefully) get a properly assembled album to evaluate further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSH 969 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Don’t get me wrong, I love “ambient Newman”, and the vast majority of his scores have a dose of that sound in some measure. It’s just a whole album of it is a bit of a drag. I’d rather him stay away from these kind of dour thriller projects because this is always the result, it seems. Nothing on the radar for him soon?

Edmilson 7,457 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Nothing for him on Film Music Reporter, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSH 969 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Shame. I'd like to see him invited back to Pixar. Or if Frank Darabont finally decides to direct again. Something interesting. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
