Giacchino's music is the ONLY part of this movie by Osmosis Jones	May 8th, 2008 08:09:53 AM
I'm looking forward to.
The music is fantastic by m_prevette	May 8th, 2008 08:18:31 AM
....just waiting on the usual morons to come in and say "boring"...but the score ( as represented on the Varese CD and the complete score streamed on RR.com) is maybe the best thing Giacchino has done, and a really fun score to listen to. It goes from the cartoon retro feel to the huge orchestral assault of the "Grand Ol' Prix" cue...outstanding stuff.
motive? by banbury	May 8th, 2008 08:39:05 AM
it's MOTIF. Everyone at AICN needs to go back to elementary school and learn basic spelling, grammar and vocabulary. Harry...needs...to...stop...us ing....elipses...incorrectly.. . Seriously.
Giacchino is better than Williams by Musicballs	May 8th, 2008 09:06:51 AM
I will be the first to say it. What has Williams done lately? Nothing. And the 30 second samples from his latest Indiana Jones score on Amazon are subpar. Giacchino has taken the throne. Even ScoreKeeper points out that Giacchino's techniques are comparable to Beethoven on Speedracer. It's time for Williams fans to accept the truth: Giacchino has an extensive musical vocabulary cloaked in stylistic disguises.

Congratulations on fixing a common typo and saving all of mankind, you fucking douchebag.
Giacchino gets much credit these days- by DerLanghaarige	May 8th, 2008 10:02:46 AM

The score was definitely was one of the best parts. by Novaman5000	May 8th, 2008 11:49:16 AM
Giacchino is the man. I love his stuff from Lost, too.
Giacchino has come a long way by AgentArchangel	May 8th, 2008 02:26:37 PM
He was robbed of that Oscar this year, though to be fair all of the Best Score nominees were pretty damn good. Still, Ratatouille hits my ears (and inner dreamer) in ways Atonement never did. I hope he does well with Star Trek, and in my opinion Williams is still a fine composer, it's just hard to do much new when most of your work is repeating themes you've already written. Though, if he's offered HP7, I'm sure he'll wow us all.
Giacchino is awesome by Jack Colby	May 9th, 2008 12:07:06 AM
I don't mind telling you that as someone who doesn't care about Speed Racer at all, his score is one reason I'd still kind of like to see the flick.
Williams... by Jack Colby	May 9th, 2008 12:11:35 AM
John Williams is still good, of course, but I find that his sensibilities these days are just not in line with the kind of scores that I want to listen to. He's simply changed his style over the years, and I much prefer how he used to do things.
ScoreKeeper, I love reading what you write by freydis	May 9th, 2008 04:57:06 PM
It's so deliciously different than most of the stuff here, and I love hearing from someone who's both knowledgable and enthusiastic. Thanks.
