Hybrid, do you think there's any chance that Tom will return to do the last 2 movies in this trilogy? The second score was horrendous and I think it would work if Tom came back and brought his old themes with him.

No, I don't think so. His score was terribly butchered in the first and not so much was used in the final cut. Not sure he wants to return to that.
And he has much more interesting to do.

Yea but Diverent was such a damn good score. Would be great to see development of themes and of course new ones!
Ds
2015-10-10 21:28:07
That butchering was really a shame. I remember watching the movie after having listened to the score a few times, I could not believe my ears. Fortunately Tom released a nice album with many great cues, so that we can forget the film and keep only tj music :-p
...
2015-10-12 18:36:59
Yes it was a shame, but the album was awesome and considering the fact that Tom is a big guy now (not literally) they probably wouldn't butcher the sequel score if he were to do it.
Wow. Listening to Joseph Trapanese's score for Insurgent and talk about dropping the ball. None of Junkie's themes are used and most of the music is just atmospheric crap. The new theme is halfway decent though, but kind of generic.
...
2015-03-21 23:13:41
I totally agree! Listened to the OST and was like, where's the music? It's such a dull score and it lacks emotions, good action material and a good theme, such as Tom created for the first movie.
I wonder if it was due to scheduling issues that Tom didn't end up doing it or if it was the new director. Anyway I hope he will score the last 2 movies because anyone must have noticed that Joseph's work didn't work at all.

The first film was a "difficult" experience apparently for everyone, I never expected Junkie to come back...
And... Yeah, that second opus lacked pretty much everything while the first score had like 3 or 4 main themes...

Which is especially a shame because out of all the scores Tom has composed, this is the only one that I really like as a whole.
300 had, like, 3 tracks I would listen to more than once, whereas Divergent's soundtrack is a legitimately fun piece of work.
Hopefully Mad Max knocks it out of the park.

Considering how badly Tom's score was butchered in the first film, I really am not all that surprised he didn't want to return.
And as far as his scores go, Run All Night isn't half bad actually. The thematic part at least. ;)
I just saw the movie and have one word: HORRIBLE. The great music composed by Junkie XL has been completely butchered, the best tracks aren't featured at all, or have been replaced by songs or bland alternate versions. For example, the cool vocal parts of "Choosing Dauntless" or "Capture the Flag" are not even in the movie, and the great "Fight the Dauntless" plays only for 20 seconds.
Worst of all, the score plays extremely low and far in the background, which makes it inaudible from start to finish, even when there's no dialogue or action. The sense of rythm and excitement present in the album release is totally absent from the movie.
It is incredible how music with such a great potential and so much intensity, can be toned down and become next-to-nothing in a movie. I wonder who was in charge of cutting Junkie XL's tracks to picture. If he did it himself then I really don't understand.

I think perhaps whoever was in charge of the music decided to replace some scenes with whatever pop music that ended up replacing it. Cause there are cues on the album not in the film, so it may have been a later thing after it was scored to change things up a bit - but hey, at least we got all the music unlike some other releases *cough*man of steel*cough*

In that case, not gonna see the movie.
BTW, I still don't have a film version for MOS Flight. :(
After listening to the score over and over this weekend, I've come to the conclusion that Fighting Dauntless is one of my favorite musical pieces from the last few years. The mixture of the epic and personal is great.
This is a pretty good score. Tris, Final Test and You're Not Gonna Like This are by far the best.
Tris' theme is beautiful. I hope XL Junkie returns to score the next movie. I hear a lot of potential building blocks for future scores.

The second installment will by directed by Robert Schwentke who usually works with Christophe Beck, so Junkie's return is IMHO unlikely. Which is a damn shame, because the score is indeed very good.
Has threads of other stuff all over the place.....Girl Rising, MOS, some stuff by HGW, the piano in Tris reminds me of JNH's The Happening.
OMG. Has anyone noticed the stark similarities of Track #16 The March to the Opening Cue from Vangelis' score to The Bounty? Wow.
Really enjoying it, nonetheless!

Where did you hear the full score? Thanks!
Edmund Meinerts
2014-03-17 10:03:07
Yeah, "The March" really took me by surprise. Wasn't expecting to hear something so retro-sounding and, as you say, Vangelis-like.
Héctor

Better performance than the others. Similar to the structure of Bleeding Fingers....And survivor. But is better than the other stuff. More Whisky for Junkie.
I'll just echo what others are saying and say that this score is really not bad at all. Much better than I expected after the terrible 300 score.
It's the softer thematic parts that really shine, like the opening cue. The action music still relies too heavily on uninventive hammering MoS percussion for my taste, though (the 14-minute track just goes on and on and on and on and on...). But...okay. I'm gonna have to give Junkie XL the benefit of the doubt from now on.

2014-03-17 03:56:30
well, the title of the 14min track warned you man ;P
Tris sounds super similar to another song and I can't figure it out for the life of me. Anyone feel the same way and wanna help me out?
MacArthur
2014-03-14 23:17:19
Yeah...Lone Survivor.
Hybrid Soldier
2014-03-14 23:37:53
And was written a long time before Lone Survivor... lol
Edmund Meinerts
2014-03-15 00:15:29
It's the four chords of pop...there are literally a zillion songs and cues that use them. Most recent famous example is (Oscar winning?!) Let it Go from Frozen... :p
MacArthur
2014-03-15 00:30:47
Really it was written before. cause Lone survivor Came out in some countries early last year.
ei18
2014-03-15 16:05:57
yea Lone Survivor is similar but its not what i was thinking of. It Elie Goulding's singing that sounds really similar to something else.
I can't stop listening to those cues Hybrid mentioned earlier, I even get the chills, dammit! :D

It may help to have Hans as score producer.
And what's with Lone Survivor. in Tris.

This might be Junkie's best till date. And I haven't even listened to the full score yet. :D

The best out of what, three scores? That's not such a super superlative... :p

2014-03-13 23:54:04
I think it's a good score. The main theme is very catchy and it blends nicely different genres together, i love it very much. But for the moment I didn't notice anything particularly outstanding, apart from this main theme.
But i guess it'll grow on me in the next few days!
Tracks 1, 3, 4 are (for now) my favorites.
Hybrid Soldier
2014-03-14 00:02:44
The Main Theme, let's talk about that : Listen to Balfe's Girl Rising track I put on the player... lol
There's some weird, I don't know, similarity... haha
Very, very good score and the cues Hybrid mentioned are truly the best (especially "Choosing Dauntless", I simply love that one). It's really imaginative in its use of percs and Goulding's vocals, and although the MoS influence is still felt here and there, the score certainly shows that Junkie is more than able to bring his own musical identity to the game.
Listened to it twice. Loved it. Now I really don't know wtf went wrong with 300. It's probs because Zimmer (I think)didn't help much with it. The MOS percussion, Lone Survivor acoustics, and with Ellie Goulding's voice and Junkie XL's electronica blend surprisingly well. I can't wait to see the movie and I am sure it will fit great (guy's it is a perfect date movie!). Here's to hoping it fairs well critically! 3.5/5 for me. Screw 300 lol.
89 minutes?? I'm assuming this is a digital only release then, or how the heck do they plan on putting that on a CD?
Interesting that this already has a "HZimmer.com rating". Who exactly decides those? :p

Agree with Edmund, very interesting release!
Hybrid Soldier
2014-03-09 08:21:38
Because I've already listened to it...
It's not exactly like 300... Yeah it has some "usual" Junkie MOS percs, but it's more like a mix between the lighter action parts of MOS with Craig Armstrong's In Time...
I have 5/6 tracks on constant repeat (Tris, Choosing Dauntless, Capture The Flag, Conspiracy, Final Test (it's gonna remind people of some MOS unreleased track... lol) & Fight The Dauntlesss).
Can't put anything on the player just yet though...
Ds
2014-03-09 09:21:23
Okay, now i'm excited. I loved every bit of MoS. I loved 300 by Junkie XL. I loved In Time by Craig Armstrong. This seems like a perfect deal for me :-)

Why, Does every one want Junkie XL. He is not that good.
I mean he's ok but why not The Maestro himself. or Jablonsky or....Or even...Balfe. :)
0-cool
2014-03-09 18:49:42
he is better than most Zimmer collaborators. Check out Darkspore, which is one of the best electronic/ambient score I've heard. Then his symphony for an event in Utrecht. Can't imagine Jablonsky,Balfe,Djawadi etc pull that off
Edmund Meinerts
2014-03-09 22:06:25
Yeah, why more people aren't hiring The Maestro is beyond me...I mean, we all know John Williams is probably the greatest film composer of all time.

2014-03-09 22:17:21
I don't think that's The Maestro MacArthur meant. Would be impossible to hire him though, Jerry Goldsmith passed away almost ten years ago
