Free Music Notes for The Island
Free Music Review: This is an awesome movie score!
Hit: 5 Stars
Once again, Steve Jablonsky has made a true movie score. It is not his absolut best work, which has to be the score of Transformers, yet it belongs to a 5-Star Moviescore. He gave a true personal touch to this work and this makes the difference between a movie soundtrack and a movie score. Probably one of the most gifted componists right now.Free Music Review: Amazing.
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is absolutely worth 19 dollars. After watching the movie, I knew I'd have to lay my hands on the score as soon as possible. All the tracks are fantastic, although I don't think that the track 'Mass Vehicular Carnage' has anything to do with the rest of the CD, because it's basically a rap song.
My favourite tracks are 'The Island Awaits You', 'This Tongue Thing's Amazing', 'Mass Winnings' and 'My Name Is Lincoln'. I'd say that if you like Hans Zimmer's music, this CD is definitely a good buy for you.
Free Music Review: I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 4 Stars
My quest to find this soundtrack (though at the time, I didn't know this was the one I was looking for) began when I saw the Flyboys trailer a while back. The music in the trailer was amazing, and I was determined to find where it came from.
My search led me here, to Steve Jablonsky's The Island, and specifically track 14; My Name Is Lincoln.
Even if 'Lincoln' was the only track on the score, it may be worth the full price. Okay, not quite, but the song is VERY GOOD! Unfortunately, the rest of the score isn't quite as good, though it isn't terrible. It does not offer any strong themes or particularly memorable moments, it's kind of just there. I'm also not a huge fan of the last song, which I deleted from my mp3 player.
One should buy 'The Island' for 'My Name Is Lincoln,' then one should check out the Transformers score, Jablonsky's masterful work...that one is very good!
Free Music Review: Good music / but is missing some of the best tracks
Hit: 3 Stars
I agree with all of the other reviews about the depth of Jablonsky's work and the complexity of these titles.
It is missing the background music from the highway chase with the Black Wasp's and train car wheels, that methodical synthetic metal drum isn't on the CD. If I'm wrong or if it is on another audio CD then please correct me.
The haunting theme played during the credits is Track 4 "Starkweather" and is the second half of the CD track, but for some odd reason it is interrupted by what can only be described by an eight second violin waul then reverts back. At first I wondered if my CD player was skipping but it does this on every player I have. You're better off just recording the audio off the DVD while playing the credits.
#14 "My Name Is Lincoln" and #10 "This Tongue Thing's Amazing" are worth the price of the CD. At the time of this writing this review in late August of 2007, I can't find this CD or even variations of the song on iTunes.
Free Music Review: awesome!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The brooding post modern industrial feel to the songs on this soundtrack give it a feel of epic proportions. I simplely love it!!!...dark,foreboding, and eerily brilliant on every track....thank you Mr. Jablonsky!
