thestat 348 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Never discount Murphy especially since he is the man behind the most influential piece of score music this millenia (and that includes Hans' Batman wankboxes): And before any dickhead tries to talk about how similar this is to this and that - well, fuck you - this is where it started.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 It’s just popular trailer and temp music. Calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 993 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I'd argue it has a little bit of Journey to the Line DNA, though definitely better at making its own identity out of it than many other examples (including Zimmer's own attempts). Pretty funny how the first Days of Future Past used both tracks, as if the studio is just fully admitting they didn't have any real ideas there. As for the actual score track itself, it's pretty fun, even if it's not very substantive outside of the energetic rock style. I'm sure it'll be better than Steven Price's effort at least.

Romão 2,274 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Remember the time when these big budget, action movies, no matter how dismal, had a good chance of having pretty good scores? KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that...but I always thought this was just a really trailer-ized rip from FOTR... That, and Zimmer was doing this kind of thing 10 years before this anyway...

Huh, they weren't kidding when they said people's opinions of the past become more romanticized when they get disenfranchised with newer stuff. Absolutely convinced something like US Marshals got high praise back in the day. It's just one track that at least tells the listener that it's going to feel a bit different from the standard fare recently. I'd get the complaint if it sounded more RCP-ish or trailer like (or even just being for a major sequence), but now I'm wondering if people expect too much at this point. I'd ask if you even heard the track, but I'm probably being a bit too mean as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark 312 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Track sounds like your average John Murphy score from 15 years ago - I’ll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
