JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hopefully the Decca release will be a better quality release than the crap that Sony continues to put on us.Also I hope that there is no preview of the music, no early release.For once it would be nice for all of us to get the score within a day or two of each other on the day of release and it not be anticlimactic as this day is.plus its bound to have a better looking cover, not that old tired Struzan look.Hopefully it will have the new poster, the one with the earth on fire.

Plus, since it's coming out a day before the movie, I'll probably just see the movie first.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I prefer to have the score a few weeks before the release. It sets everything up, and yet it gives me time to assimilate the music, and to be excited about how certain cues will look on screen. I memorize themes this way, too, and allows me to appreciate the score more and more. It always has enhanced my viewing experience.-Ross, relishing the Amistad ("give us free") and Saving Private Ryan ("earn this") memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Coscina 3 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Decca usually does a nice job with their releases. I really like ROTS and TIME Magazine gave the film a decent review (for a change) but I've always been more amped about WOTW- both film and film score. I want to be floored by both!

Steven Awalt 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I agree Joe (though I disagree about your Struzan comments—love the man's work!) that the Earth of fire poster would make a very nice CD cover.It'll be nice having the CD at least a couple of days before the film since it does set things up nice, as Ender sagely points out. I love driving to the theater with the score on in the car. Kind of a entrance overture on wheels before the show starts. Too bad the mood created by listening to Williams on the way to the theater is ruined by turgid pop music once I get in my seat in the show, plus a slew of commercials and such.Ah, how classy filmgoing is in this modern age...Nothing like boy band pop singles and hyper Coke commercials to whet the palette for "War of the Worlds."

I want to be floored by both!TIME (and Variety) actually gave a favorable review to AOTC as well after having panned TPM. It was completely bizarre, given that everything that was wrong with the first film stayed wrong in the second. Also bizarre for the same reason was Roger Ebert's giving the first film a favorable review and the second one a negative one. I couldn't agree with Michael Wilmington for a second, but at least he was consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QMM 4 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 What I'll do is buy the soundtrack, go see the movie and then after the movie in my car will pop the cd in and bathe in its glory.Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That music they play in theaters is really intolerable, and I like to get to shows early, so I have to sit through a lot of it. The iPod shows yet another hidden use by saving those with taste from suffering through being bombarded by bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I wish it was coming out more than a couple of days before the movie so I'd have time to absorb the music a little, but I agree that it will be nice to have it released at the same time for everyone so we can all enjoy it at the same time. 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacck 23 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 im curious what the score for War of the Worlds going to sound likeMe too ... looking at the trailers, it's got that sort of feel .. I can't explain it really.. but the sort of music that some composer like Harald Kloser or maybe Alan Silvestri would create (Day after tomorrow sort of thing..)But that's not really John Williams style, if I was to score that film , at a glance just from that 2nd trailer, I would really hear that sort of stuff.. But I think John Williams will really suprise us with some interesting music and some fresh exciting action cues .. maybe even some choral stuff? (perhaps not ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well, I hope it has NOTHING in commin with "Day after tomorrow", that score was the definition of "dull". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness at least the movie is released the same month...4 & 5- I dont care what cover is it but eat you Struzan's opinions to yourself, mister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm trying to say .. is most "normal" composers would feel the urge to follow that sort of style, but John Williams (being the Musical Genius that he is) will create a whole new, fresh, exciting score for us to have multiple orgasms over for several years to come (or is that just me? o_O)*runs away* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
