I found myself listening attentively the entire time. Still, it very much has Newman's signature sounds, and I can't help but wonder what Shore or another composer could have brought to the table.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 11:24 AM     By:   John Mullin   (Member) Oh, I love it. Cues like this one are exactly why I look forward to Thomas Newman scores.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 11:25 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) , and I can't help but wonder what Shore or another composer could have brought to the table. Even Ryan Shore.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 12:05 PM     By:   Peter Greenhill   (Member) Beautiful music. Album due for release on 10th May.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 12:16 PM     By:   spielboy   (Member) quite nice but why do you miss Shore? Cause he did the RINGS music and you expected some themes to appear here?    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 12:19 PM     By:   Jason LeBlanc   (Member) 1 Dragons 1:14 2 Impecunious Circumstances 1:26 3 The Great War 1:42 4 The TCBS 2:48 5 White As Bone 3:29 6 John Ronald 1:33 7 Vinátta (Friendship) 0:42 8 Rugby 0:49 9 Kings and Queens 1:25 10 Army of the Dead 1:48 11 Lúthien Tinúviel 1:45 12 "A Good Man in the Dirt" 2:45 13 Dutch Courage 1:46 14 Sunlit 1:15 15 Starlit 2:26 16 Everything That's Good 1:18 17 Geoffrey 1:21 18 Eik (Oak) 1:37 19 The Ascanius 1:53 20 Black Rider 3:21 21 Scuppered (Ancient Things) 2:17 22 Other Sorts of Scars 2:51 23 Dark Magic 1:17 24 Fellowship 5:06 25 Helheimr (End Crawl) 3:30 Physical CD on Friday May 3rd: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NRDV69J Digital version on the same day: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QR1HKNC/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/1460037819 https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bbzescqffsx4gt6cde22xgegfwm etc    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 1:21 PM     By:   Replicant006   (Member) quite nice but why do you miss Shore? Cause he did the RINGS music and you expected some themes to appear here? Not necessarily because he did the Rings music. Mostly because he is one of my very favorite composers. And I think that I would enjoy what he would've done much more than Newman. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Thomas Newman's work, but it always has a sameness to it. His music feels so interchangeable to me.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 2:25 PM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) that was BORING.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 3:24 PM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) that was BORING. Did you ever consider that the MOVIE is boring?    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 5:32 PM     By:   Bill in Portland Maine   (Member) That's really nice. I agree that much of Newman's airy, new-agey scores have a sameness to them, but sometimes he hits on a melody or motif that really gels with the ethereal, tinkly background sounds. "Saving Mr. Banks" and "Marigold Hotel" come to mind. I'm looking forward to this score. I hope it's good, because so far 2019 has been a snoozer of a year for filmusic (and that includes Newman's "Highwaymen"). Disappointing, coming off of stellar 2017 and 2018. -    Posted:   Apr 22, 2019 - 6:53 PM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) That's really nice.

However it seems the album has the usual Newman problem: too many short tracks. I do not really like albums edited this way.    Posted:   Apr 23, 2019 - 1:52 PM     By:   chriscoyle   (Member) 1 Dragons 1:14 2 Impecunious Circumstances 1:26 3 The Great War 1:42 4 The TCBS 2:48 5 White As Bone 3:29 6 John Ronald 1:33 7 Vinátta (Friendship) 0:42 8 Rugby 0:49 9 Kings and Queens 1:25 10 Army of the Dead 1:48 11 Lúthien Tinúviel 1:45 12 "A Good Man in the Dirt" 2:45 13 Dutch Courage 1:46 14 Sunlit 1:15 15 Starlit 2:26 16 Everything That's Good 1:18 17 Geoffrey 1:21 18 Eik (Oak) 1:37 19 The Ascanius 1:53 20 Black Rider 3:21 21 Scuppered (Ancient Things) 2:17 22 Other Sorts of Scars 2:51 23 Dark Magic 1:17 24 Fellowship 5:06 25 Helheimr (End Crawl) 3:30 Physical CD on Friday May 3rd: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NRDV69J Digital version on the same day: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QR1HKNC/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/1460037819 https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bbzescqffsx4gt6cde22xgegfwm etc So SAE lists it as CDR from Amazon and Amazon lists it as an import! http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm/ID/37258/TOLKIEN-CD-R/    Posted:   Apr 25, 2019 - 9:38 PM     By:   Scott Bettencourt   (Member) I'm hoping it's one of those Sony CDs released as a CD-R in the US but as a pressed CD in Europe, which has become pretty common (though not 100 percent dependable) with Sony soundtrack these days. Amazon does list it on their Soundtracks-made-on-demand page https://www.amazon.com/s?bbn=2241371011&rh=n%3A5174%2Cn%3A%2144259011%2Cn%3A2241371011%2Cn%3A42&s=releasedaterank&qid=1347722938&ref=sr_st which suggests that at least in the US it's a CD-R.    Posted:   Apr 28, 2019 - 4:43 PM     By:   edwzoomom   (Member) A few years ago I read "Tolkien and C. S. Lewis: The Gift of a Friendship." I am hoping the deep friendship between these two men will be addressed in the film. I have not read anything beforehand because I want to view the film without any impressions before I see it. The cast looks very interesting. When I read that Nicholas Hoult was chosen for the role of Tolkien, I could not get the image of his Mad Max role out of my head. I am so looking forward to the Newman score. Admittedly, a wee portion of me had hoped to see Howard Shore do the scoring but I am sure it will be wonderful. I am picking my vacation reads right now and am going to pick up the Tolkien biography by Humphrey Carpenter. It has gotten solid reviews. I won't get to the book before the movie but they'll make a great pair.    Posted:   Apr 29, 2019 - 5:15 PM     By:   ST-321   (Member) I am picking my vacation reads right now and am going to pick up the Tolkien biography by Humphrey Carpenter.

Archibald   (Member) From the looks of the publicity material I’ve seen in HBO, it appears that TOLKIEN concerns his youth, college, and later shock in the slaughterhouse of WWI, with meeting the woman whom he later married along the way. I don’t think he met Lewis until he was older.    Posted:   May 1, 2019 - 12:26 PM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) Tolkien and Lewis met in 1926, after The Great War.
