User blog comment:J Fan/Favorite Song(as of On Stranger Tides)/@comment-4693709-20120716184359/@comment-184.160.4.105-20120717173607

''LOL, when I said "picks", I meant your picks for favorite song...I think you mistook that for pics. Sorry if I mislead on you that. xD''

Bugger... I hate it when that happens... xD (sorry)

''To be quite honest, the OST soundtrack was one of the few things I didn't like. The music in the film was decent enough, but there were points I thought "they should've done something new!"(particularly from the carriage chase scene where we heard Davy Jones-esque music). And of course the CD having mostly remixes(really...why?!). But enough of my ranting. lol''

Yeah, me too, the OST of OST (xD) really disappointed me. When I first heard it, I was looking forward to see the movie and heard the score that wasn't on the album ('cause there wasn't a lot of the movie score on the album). But again, I was really disappointed. I mean, it's not that the score is "bad", but, like you said, it's always repeating old theme. There was the mermaids' theme that already existed, Privateer Barbossa's theme that already existed, the first part of the Foutain of Youth's theme that already existed, Davy Jones' action theme that can be heard two times (like if they couldn't invent a new fight cue for Battle Montage and Carriage Chase) and one time also on the Sola Fide Beach (did they ever notice that DJ wasn't in the movie ???) and the Mermaid Attack's theme, that is an adapted version of themes from The Kraken (common...).

At all, there's five new themes : Fountain Of 'Youths theme (I talk about it above), Blackbeard's theme (good representation of the character), QAR's theme (good representation too), Angelica's theme (I'm gonna talk of it later) and Spanish's theme ''(the only theme that sounds "new" in the whole score). Plus the new "background" theme (I'm not sure how to call it, it isn't playing often during the film, but you can heard a part of it at the end of Palm Tree Escape), the Foutain Of Youth's background theme (can be well heard when the Spaniard is talking in the Fountain Of Youth) and Spanish's other theme (can be heard at the end of On Stranger Tides (the cue) and when the Spaniard is talking, with the FOY's background theme. I also heard that this theme is in fact a part of the Spanish's hymn or something like that).

For the Angelica's theme, when I heard it on the OST, I was really excited of what it was gonna look like in the movie (plus it was during long). But in the movie, they put it like if it was Scrum that was playing, so the quality isn't as good as in the OST. That, I understand it. What I don't understand (or don't want to understand :P) is why they did the scene so short and, moreover, they cut a part of it ?? I was also disappointed by the fact that the Angelica's theme is playing just for the Tango scene (and a bit of it during the Mutiny cue). I read somewhere that Hans Zimmer wanna put it at some place in the movie, but Rob Marshall said him that he didn't want it to play at any other moment that during the Tango scene. That explain why we can heard it at a lot of moment in the demo score, but not in the movie. The moment that I hate the most is at the end of the film on the Sola Fide Beach when Angelica is trying to convince Jack to don't leave her. That would have been the perfect time to play the Angelica's theme (like in the demos). But no. What is playing ? DAVY JONES' THEME ! xD

Some days after the realease of OST, I read an interview of HZ somewhere and he was saying that Rob Marshall didn't have the same interest for the music in the movies that Gore Verbinsky had. He was also saying that he wasn't going to come back for a Pirates 5. But I don't know if this interview was real.

Personally, the majority of my favorites OST tracks weren't made by HZ, they were made by Geoff Zanelli (Palace Escape, British Attack, Palm Tree Escape, Water Drop, The Foutain of Youth, the Spanish's theme and End Credits). And for all those tracks, he's practically not credited.

So what are your hopes for P5's score ? Do yoy HZ to return or someone else ? And if someone else, do you want him to all begin again or to stay with the old themes, by adding his to it ?

(again, sorry for the mistakes, a bit too lazy to correct all of that...:P)
