INSIDE OUT Score Review

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Check it out... if you wish to hear Michael Giacchino paint a variety of musical ideas across a broad canvas while staying rooted in his style developed in previous Pixar films.

Skip it... if you insist on a homogeneous listening experience on album or expect a film about emotions to have a score saturated with shameless romanticism, Giacchino instead opting for a more restrained, yet still effective, approach to the moments of emotional potency.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

JURASSIC WORLD Score Review

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Check it out... if you possess a fondness for Michael Giacchino's most bombastic, energetic and wild writing, as Jurassic World veers into action bliss for much of its duration

Skip it... if your love of the original Williams work clouds your better judgement, and you can not respect an amiable sequel score which just falls shy of reaching the heights of its prolific predecessor

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

1ST QUARTER WRAP UP: Review Collation - Part 1

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Score Review

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Check it out... if you're willing to embark on a listening experience that touches upon sombre and emotional moods, and executes them with slow and intelligent music. 

Skip it... if you'd rather not sit through another Giacchino Lost-like score, as all the slow string riffs are here in their grand and plodding glory.
