Free Music Notes for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullFree Music Review: Indiana Jones for the 21st Century (19 years older) Hit: 5 Stars
I can't believe I am finally listening to this album! After treasuring the first three for decades, it is thrilling to hear Maestro Williams back at it again. Yes, his sound and style have evolved over the last 19 years - this album does not have the same orchestral soundscape as the original trilogy...just as the film does not have the same exact visual style as the original trilogy. It sounds very similar to his latest action/blockbuster efforts (Some Star Wars Episode II, some Minority Report, some Harry Potter & POA...There's even some eery use of the electronic/synth voice from Witches of Eastwick!) If you approach this album with the same nostalgia as the original films, you will enjoy it. It's great music from John Williams - that alone puts a smile on my face!

Free Music Review: Just as expected Hit: 5 Stars
I think there were just as many people waiting for the release of the soundtrack to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as there were of the film. Those of us who are long-time John Williams fans expected something in the same grand, stirring style that has become the halmark of one of the world's most endearing composers. Well, his latest installment did not disappoint - it was just as expected! Starting with the iconic Raider's March was a good step. It advances from there into a soundtrack that is as every bit a rip-roaring ride as the film was. My only complaint - it wasn't long enough!
Free Music Review: This is a great (and severely underrated) album, but if you have not purchased it yet... Hit: 5 Stars
..then you are probably better off, as Concord Records is releasing this score as well as the (newly expanded) scores from the first three Indiana Jones films in a Five Disk Box Set. However, if you have no intention of purchasing the Box Set (I would reconsider if I were you), or if you do not mind purchasing the same album twice, then you cannot really go wrong with this album. As I stated above, there are many who do not like this score ( as well as the film it accompanies), but it really is not bad, not bad at all (though it may take a number of listens for you to fully appreciate the album).
Free Music Review: Indy's Back! Hit: 5 Stars
Without going into too much detail this soundtrack is nothing short of great. I have only listened to it once and it is already begining to stick in my mind. What more could you ask for, this is Indiana Jones. Even some of the newer score is fantastic. As soon as the " Raiders March " started I began to feel like a young child once again, carefree and innocent and thats a great feeling. Simply put, if the music makes you feel good inside then it must be doing everything right. Thanks again John Williams.
