I find this music particulary exciting and interesting. Hans Zimmer is really the best and I do believe that Dead man's chest is one of his best soundtrack, very puissant. Congratulations. My brother is also a fan of him and of his wonderful music. I do believe Hans Zimmer is the best compositor of all times.
Interesting... we do have the same old debate for the first score here as well... Some say it's 'good' and the others say it's 'bad'. In Jack Sparrow's words, "It's remarkable how often these two traits coincide."
Its a mix of first POTC, da Vinci, BHD, Peacemaker.... Some tracks suck totally. 51 min is ok. Fisoundtrack was good because it was solid action score, but this I dont know. Final Decision I will make after listening to whole album.
The extracts that are hardly escapes me are seem to you enough beautiful, the nearly equal rhythm e' to the first film. Beautiful the theme of Davy Jones….
Do you think a special edition soundtrack will be released? Since there's said that 2.5 hours of score is in the movie, and only 51 made this soundtrack?
I doubt if a Special Edition soundtrack will be made for now. There could be one, once the whole the third film is out, something like Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy Soundtrack, but as long as it's Disney Records that we're talking about, Expanded Materials should be crossed from the list.
As for the album, I would watch the movie first before I buy this album. I'm sure it was the brilliance of the first movie that put the first score on top of my FAV list, otherwise, in terms of creativity, the whole thing sounds identical.
Of course, judging albums from samples is unfair even though SoundtrackNet usually picks the best parts of the score IMHO.
The first soundtrack was awesome. Let's hope the master will not dissapoint us. I can't wait it's release. This is going to be one hell of a soundtrack.
I would not like to judge before I hear the complete work, although I must admit that the bonus track is completly un-necessary. And 11 tracks doesen't mean that the CD will be short (although they're warming that susspicion). I mean, think of Crimson Tide...it has only 5 tracks and runs whole 60 minutes long, and King Arthur is running also 1 hour and has only 7 tracks. The same is situation with The Last Samurai which has the same number of tracks as POTC2 will have.
Well, I suppose if they put together a CD like what they did for King Arthur, things should be fine. I mean, come to think about it. King Arthur soundtrack has only got 7 tracks. But those who have listened to the complete score will agree that it had all the best moments of the score on the CD. So if that's gonna be the same for Dead Man's Chest, I think we can forgive them for this inappropriate addition. :-p
I sure hope the 12 tracks don't lack in content, cause that is such a low number for a film soundtrack, especially one for such a huge film with (I'm sure) a LOT of music.
I'm going to be, of course, the first one at the store buying this haha.
there is only one word that can describe tiesto's remix of "he's a pirate" ..........awful!!! What were disney thinking?ive been anticipateing the release of this soundtrack since i heard the movie was going into production as i am a big fan of Badelt's take on the first film. Trance and orchestral are like hot and cold they do not go together as they are complete opposites.
Yes, yes, yes, thank you very much Disney Records for trying to ruin another Hans Zimmer score. What on earth is the reason for putting a TRANCE song on a score album? And then, only 11 tracks from Hans Zimmer? You gotta be kidding me...
Well, the track lengths are unknown at this time that I'm posting this message, but the way I see it, I'm affraid it's not going to run more than 40 minutes. It might sound fine to some people but for me...
