Customer Reviews
Zimmer returns with a much more mature score
The first score was criticised for the over use of samples,synthesizers and media ventures "factory ghostwriters" yet was a success and I have to admit the main cues are entertaining despite the poor sound quality, due to a lack of proper orchestration and sometimes just plain distortion. The second score, Zimmer himself at the helm this time, was a bit like the film itself-a filler, expanding with the vast array of abstract ideas presented in the first film. Zimmer played around with the Jack cello theme and left a lot of the over exaggerated Hollywood stuff behind. He experimented with tonality in "The Kraken" yet the score left him with a solid foundation to build a finale. However it didn't have the swashbuckling feel, and again there was an over use of soft synths and overdubbing. The third and final score in the trilogy presents one main new theme, the love theme, which is versatile enough to work for a lot of characters, there are many variations of it present in the film, especially as interludes from the action. Since the third film is the end, and in order to bring a finite mood, Zimmer brings back the heroic, and black pearl themes, found mostly in "One Day" and "Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho" to place the film back in its musical roots. A string countermelody is added to the main theme. "Up is Down" starts as a lively little jig,and then becomes heroic as the love theme enters. In the film at this point the crew of the Pearl are trying to completely capsise their ship in order to escape from the Locker. "I See Dead People In Boats" Is the love theme, this time played on solo oboe with string accompaniementa first for a Bruckheimer film!, followed by some variations. Yet the main theme for this score is "Hoist The Colours" , a song written to call the pirates together. It starts with the B theme being sung by a solo boy, followed by the A theme sung by a male voice choir. The tune is used at other points in the film, however with orchestra. "Multiple Jacks" is a variation of the Jack cello tune from the 2nd film, but this time with unexpected backing chords and more of a comical feeling, representing Jack's hallcinations. "Singapore" is a very cultural piece of music, which then breaks in to the Jack heroic theme. All in all the soundtrack is different from the first two, using more conventional orchestra and has a more classical style. I think it is the best score by far, and definitely worth a buy if you are Zimmer fan, or have seen the film.
A good buy!
I wasn't sure whether to buy it or not but after listening to the samples I decided to. It's a must for any Pirate's fan and each song will remind you of certain parts of the film. My favourites are One Day and Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho.
Fantastic, Best Pirates Score yet!
A huge improvement from Dead Mans Chest. This Album does show, that after Zimmer’s abysmal performance in the quality of sound from Dead Mans Chest, that he knows what an orchestra is and how to use one. My personal Favourites Are Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho, What Shall We Die For and One Day. “Hoist The Colours” is a very simple orchestration. It consists only of some drums and a choir. It is the opening song in the film. It is sung first by a young boy standing on the gallows and then goes on to be sung by a male choir. “Singapore” starts of with an oriental theme. It then sees the Return of “The Medallion Calls” From pirates 1. Zimmer has used choir to a great effect in this piece. “At Wit’s End” Begins with a dreamy version of Zimmer’s new Love Theme before he takes it into a slightly faster version of the same tune with more strings. He takes it nicely into Davy Jones’ Theme from Pirates 2. With it, he mixes the Love theme nicely. “Multiple Jacks” includes a comical version of the Jack Sparrow Theme suite. I was slightly disappointed that Zimmer didn’t dwell on any other tunes in as much detail as he did with the Jack Sparrow Theme Suite but his work fits nicely with the film. “Up Is Down” Introduces a catchy, fast melody. Zimmer starts this off with a string section playing this new melody before he decides to let a piccolo take the tune. He Manoeuvres it nicely into the Love theme, and orchestrates it in the way to give it a very victorious feel. This is mainly because of his use of a Trumpet/Horn. “I See Dead People In Boats” Is the new love theme. It is played (and it suits the scene brilliantly) when Elizabeth comes across her dying father in a single rowing boat heading towards the Locker. “The Brethren Court” has yet another comical arrangement of Jack Sparrow as its main introduction. It is then taken into the Love Theme/Orchestral version of “Hoist the Colours”. Zimmer introduces a Parisian melody to represent one of the Pirate Lords. It then changes its style quite dramatically as we hear a mystical/suspense to introduce Jack Sparrow’s father. An Electric Guitar is then used to a very good effect to play an arrangement of “Hoist the Colours”. “Calypso” is played when Barbossa’s and Jack’s crew release her from her humanly prison. Not one of the best on the soundtrack, but Zimmer has used the orchestra excellently to create a feeling of suspense and unknown. “What Shall We Die For” is one of my favourites. Its orchestration, tempo and melody give it a great feeling of pride. Zimmer uses a Key Change towards the end and introduces a choir to really emphasise the feeling of pride. “I Don’t Think Now Is the Best Time” Is the albums longest piece at 10:45. It is played directly after “What Shall We Die For” when the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman battle in a great storm in a whirlpool. It was nice to hear the return of the Original Jack Sparrow Theme Suite and its orchestration halfway through the piece. “One Day” is a great piece again giving a massive sensation of pride and success. He has used an interesting arrangement of “The Medallion Calls” and excellent use of Dynamics. He has used the Love Theme again to great effect. “Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho” is basically a medley of the different themes from the trilogy. It begins with a Parisian “swing” of “The Medallion Calls”, before he orchestrates it properly and takes the piece brilliantly on to “He’s A Pirate”. He uses the Love Theme for the last time before he ends the trilogy with a spectacular finale. All in all, a great album, and much improved from the previous film, and a good sense of originality.
