However the 16th December can't be that far away    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 3:27 AM     By:   SoldierofFortune   (Member) Samples up in NZ https://music.apple.com/nz/album/wonder-woman-1984-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1544290300    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 5:09 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) This is indeed good stuff for the most part, although I need to whittle the insane 90 minute running time to about half for maxium listening pleasure. There used be a time this was only necessary for specialty label releases, but now more and more commercial releases suffer from this as well. Oh well, added to the ever-growing whittle list (which probably counts some 50 titles by now). "Open Road", which they released early as some sort of appetizer, is actually one of the WORST tracks on the album, and will be weeded out by yours truly.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 6:38 AM     By:   maximus_rh   (Member) How are people hearing all of it? I can’t see it on iTunes or YouTube    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 6:39 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) First listen, and for me WW84 is Zimmer's best score since Man of Steel and Rush. If you loved Gladiator, King Arthur, POTC3, you'll probably fall in love with many of the tracks. I do love Gladiator and King Arthur.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 7:39 AM     By:   AdoKrycha007   (Member) Amazing score    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 10:41 AM     By:   Per   (Member) If you loved Gladiator, King Arthur, POTC3, you'll probably fall in love with many of the tracks. Yes I do (certainly King Arthur). No, not really.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 12:34 PM     By:   bondo321   (Member) "Open Road", which they released early as some sort of appetizer, is actually one of the WORST tracks on the album, and will be weeded out by yours truly. In reality, this is a fantastic action track and perhaps the best showcase of the WW-action theme on the album. HZ knocked it out of the park again!    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 12:35 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) Well, we're on different planets in our evaluation there. But thankfully, there are other fine tracks here, so it shouldn't be a problem to create a pretty decent album out of this material.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 2:11 PM     By:   Larry847   (Member) How are people hearing all of it? I can’t see it on iTunes or YouTube You seem to be yelling in a crowd. I don't see where they are getting it from either.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 5:01 PM     By:   jb1234   (Member) How are people hearing all of it?

It's already out in certain time zones.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 5:26 PM     By:   foobsz   (Member) It is LOUD. I will say it again..... LOUD! Unbalanced mixing and orchestration, a lot of high pitched electronic synth orchestra horns and strings. The sum of it all is equivalent to Nolan's problem with mixing dialogue in his movies. You can barely make out the other "instruments". I don't believe the music as represented on the disc is a good experience. I do appreciate the variations on the WW theme, but it would probably have been better with a full orchestra. "Themyscira" is one of the few tracks that is balanced in the volume of the instruments and sections of the orchestra. At 1:12 minutes into "Games" it just gets bad and then worse and onwards worse.... So with Themyscira at 3m:51s + Games, the first 1m:12s = 5m:03s of enjoyment. Until 4:04 into "Games" The thematic ideas in the track "1984" are great, but you can barely hear the other instruments over the strings, horns. They just "drown".    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 5:41 PM     By:   Spymaster   (Member) So it's too orchestral, and also not orchestral enough?!    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 5:52 PM     By:   foobsz   (Member) So it's too orchestral, and also not orchestral enough?! Well yeah ... the WW84 certainly in its variations could have benefitted from a full orchestral expansion. GO BIG... but then the strings are augmented with synths and the whole combination just flattens out.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 9:22 PM     By:   Mephariel   (Member) Best cue of the Year: 1984. Oh yes. The first 2'30" reminds me JNH's work in the 90's. Can't stop listening to it. No kidding. What a cue. I was shell shocked how 90s orchestral that cue was. Absolute gem.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 11:09 PM     By:   Mephariel   (Member) Just finished the album. Yeah, this is the best comic book score Zimmer has done. The strength of the score is in the opening orchestral, choral, celebratory pieces and the emotional and romantic statements at the end of the album. "1984" is really a throwback cue from a Zimmer that I no longer thought existed. It is beautiful and innocent. Like old style composition that I remembered when growing up. But I also really like the eccentric cues like "Anything You Want," which could be a track for a James Bond villain. Surprisingly there is little action, which is fine. But there isn't really a show stopping action cue. Closest is "Radio Waves" I guess. The mixing is not the best, that is for sure. The Cheetah cue is weak, and the score takes bits and pieces from other Zimmer signature elements. Overall, I am very impressed. It is absolutely the score I need this year and certainly a score I need to hear from Zimmer, being a life long fan of his. It is really an accumulation of all the Zimmers in the different eras.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2020 - 11:32 PM     By:   Mose Harper   (Member) Total time - 90:23 Great! That sounds fine for a 2 CD release. I just checked Amazon. The CD is listed at 48 min. while the download available looks to be the full 90:23. Would have preferred to have this on a CD, but not if I'm only gonna get half the material. Good thing I don't have much of a problem with nasty mp3 downloads.    Posted:   Dec 16, 2020 - 12:05 AM     By:   keky   (Member) Total time - 90:23 Great! That sounds fine for a 2 CD release.

Good thing I don't have much of a problem with nasty mp3 downloads. Amazon says: number of discs: 2 - so I guess we're getting the whole score on CD as well, not just the half of it.    Posted:   Dec 16, 2020 - 12:22 AM     By:   AdoKrycha007   (Member) Just rumors at this moment, but upcoming 2-CDs release will be a CD-R, not a pressed CD    Posted:   Dec 16, 2020 - 12:41 AM     By:   Mephariel   (Member) Listening to it a second time. Just loving this score. "Truth" and "1984" are ear candies. Along with "Games" and "Themyscira."     General Discussion: Wonder Woman 1984 - Hans Zimmer    << < 6 7 8 9 10  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
