Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I have never heard this score, but I have heard a lot about it. I'll have to get this then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 The most overrated score in history, but it's got a great theme. I have to remind myself I'm not listening to Independence Day during a lot of it though. Suffers from the lack of character of all Debney's scores- it's not Debney, it's Debney doing a great imitation of whoever was supposed to/could've scored the film. Morlock- who has not tempted Steef's wrath and contempt in a while. Oh, I mean Stef's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fommes 153 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 it's Debney doing a great imitation of whoever was supposed to/could've scored the film.David Arnold.But indeed a great score. The score is sometimes a bit too 'loud' to my taste; but I'll get this release most certainly. Really wonderful - the Belgian label Prometheus is doing a lot of great stuff lately.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I got this score last summer and have really enjoyed it. But is more really necessary?

Johnnyecks 33 Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Great main theme... never really got into the rest of the score.

Morlock 11 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm very happy about this anouncement. It caused me to pop in my Sinbad CD, and remember all over again how great the score is. Except for RoTK, the best score of 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 ...and Sinbad, in turn, has inspired me to pick up Cutthroat Island again. I always forget how much I actually like this score. It's very, very, very good. IMO sounds like David Arnold, but it's fantastic. The energy is just unparalleled, though it does get a bit overbearing at times. I wish they were more small moments like the begining of 'Charting The Course' (which sounds just like Goldsmith to me). The score often loses focus IMO, just descends into action scoring lacking any personality, but always regains itself quickly to something marvelous. 'Dawg's Demise and The Triumph' is a good example of this, it starts off a bit vague and messy, but once it finds it's way, it's one amazing cue till the end. Overall, CI is a great score. I personaly like Sinbad more, it's more fun, and is a more varied listening experience. And while the theme is not as good as CI, the use of it and it's variations are just plain wonderful. I did not need an expanded release, but, being the sucker for swashbucklers that I am (who isn't?), I'll probably get it anyway. I still think Hook is the greatest pirates score ever, nothing yet comes close, but strictly as a swashbucklers, Cutthroat Island is on my short list of favorites, with Sinbad, Hook, and all of the Korngold ones. I don't know Mutiny on The Bounty, so I can't wait for the FSM CD. And I hear Sarde's Pirates is supposed to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
