Free Music Notes for Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End
Free Music Review: Zimmer outdoes himself again. A stunning & mostly original score.
Hit: 5 Stars
Zimmer has outdone himself yet again. This is one of his most beautiful scores.
It's particularly impressive that he did not do what most composers of third-movies-in-a-trilogy do (even though it has good reason): rest primarily on already-established themes. Sure, he keys in the themes from 1 & 2 where appropriate, with delightful variations, but this score is mostly original work. So many stirring themes, all of a piece for these movies.
Listening to the score on its own, one can better appreciate its dramatic support of the film -- particularly in how he built much of it off the song penned by screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio (and co-scored by director Gore Verbinski) that's so integral to the story.
The orchestrations, particularly in "At Wit's End," "Up Is Down" and "One Day," are wonderful. I could listen to the stirring "One Day" for days on end. The Morricone tribute "Parlay" is great fun, enhancing the spaghetti western visual inspiration in the film.
One small regret: there is a beautiful new theme played briefly in the film's climax (and perhaps elsewhere) that does not appear on the soundtrack, which is odd since there's certainly room on the disc.
A score worth owning. It's stunning.
Free Music Review: The best yet!
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this soundtrack last week on the 14th at my local Target. I immediately began listening to it, and was completely blown away. What I had once thought of as Pirates of the Caribbean music was no longer that: it was a masterwork, with much fuller orchestration than ever before. I must say that this CD is definitely the best of the three, it includes all the "Pirates" music you grew to love upon listening to the first two, plus a whole lot more. The adventurous/epic theme heard first at the beginning of "At Wit's End" is brilliant, and by the time you have listened through to the end of the soundtrack, or even the first few tracks, you will not easily have forgotten it. My only complaint is the cover. It seems to have been very cheaply made, and could easily break. Some of my favorite tracks on the soundtrack are, in order of appearance on the disc:
"At Wit's End"
"Up Is Down"
"I See Dead People In Boats"
"I Don't Think Now Is The Best Time"
"Drink Up Me Hearties"
Overall this is an extremely good soundtrack with the greatest score of the three. A true must for every "Pirates" fan! You will not be disappointed!
Free Music Review: Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
After seeing At World's End I was desperate to purchase the soundtrack. I think that this is the best soundtrack of the three. It incorporates themes from all of them, except on a much larger, more epic scale. It also adds new styles, such as in "The Bretheren Court" and "Singapore." The global nature of the film allowed for music from different cultures to be incorporated, which I very much enjoy. Hans Zimmer and crew have done an amazing job and I am not disappointed in the least. I was also quite pleased to see on the insert that Gore Verbinsky played the guitar for the recording. The CD case is paper, making it somewhat flimsy, but I am not too bothered by it. The insert contains many photos from the movie, including production photos, which I found quite interesting and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of film scores or who just enjoys captivating, epic music. It is one of Zimmer's best works yet!Free Music Review: "Sail The Weird & Haunted Shores At World's End..." Hang On!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The soundtrack to the climactic conclusion to "Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is just as thrilling as the movie itself. My favourite tracks are: "Singapore," "At Wit's End," "Up Is Down," "Parlay," "Calypso," "I Don't Think Now's The Best Time," "One Day" & "Drink Up Me Hearties Yo-Ho." The love theme is very good, as it encompasses Elizabeth & Will's story, which has been developing through the first two movies, and pays off here. Also, it's so romantic and poignant. "Parlay" has a surprise composer. The mammoth "I Don't Think Now's The Best Time" is one of the best tracks on the album; it not only includes Beckett's death music, but the music of Elizabeth & Will's marriage and the fight between Jack Sparrow & Davy Jones. Very good album. If you loved the first two movies and albums, you'll love the third movie and album. Kudos to Disney for again producing a family-friendly movie and soundtrack.Free Music Review: Ingenious!
Hit: 5 Stars
The first movie had an innovative and fun soundtrack with some unforgettable themes, and I'd have expected the third movie to stick with the old standards. But for this one, they whip out a few of the most potent new melodies I've ever heard. These are made prominent in the movie, though still seamlessly woven into the old ideas.
I keep this CD in my car, and will never tire of it. It is unbelievably bold and aggressive, though many moments, particularly some in the Maelstrom track ("I don't think now is the best time"), could be taken out of context as bits of a complex and brilliant symphony.
This last score establishes the POTC trilogy as having more deep, effective and thrilling music than any other movie. I'm still looking for a better soundtrack; I haven't found one yet.
