Soundtrack Thursday 23

The final Hans Zimmer week. At least for awhile. I may continue to do this outside my job, but we'll see. I was a little disappointed to see that he didn't do the second How to Train Your Dragon movie. Went to go see it a couple nights ago. I'd recommend it, but it wasn't as good as the first. There were some good aspects to it, but the first story had more...impact. This story was basically rehashing everything we already knew, throwing in a little random death and a bunch of SHOCKING TWISTS that you could see coming a mile off. But the movie is adorable and has dragons and silliness, so overall I enjoyed it. That and I want to support one of the only other animation studios out there that can take on Disney. As much as I enjoy Disney, I do not want them to be the only source for decent animation. Seriously.

So we've exhausted a lot of YouTube's resources for Zimmer tracks, so we have to GO DEEPER. Oh wait, we already did Inception. Damn...um well

Oh hey, Divergent. Heard it was a decent movie (and book), but haven't seen or read any of it. I just got excited because I saw Hans Zimmer + JunkieXL.

Next I've got a Gladiator soundtrack. Another movie I haven't seen, but I've heard it's terribly inaccurate in terms of history. One of those turn your brain off movies I suppose. Also the soundtrack compilation appears to have large periods of silence. Maybe it's just me.

Crysis 2 - Oh here's a good one. Bear in mind that other composers produced the majority of the soundtrack, but Hans Zimmer was involved so it counts. We have this game for some system...actually I think I have this on Steam. I know Michael played it but I have no idea if he finished it.

FINALLY.

Some random compilations:
One
Two
Three

Hurray I can still count.


Also...I discovered this today. Here's a breakdown of my thought process before my thought process caused a breakdown:


Wait...what's this?

A new Imagine Dragons song? Let's see what the comments say about this!

Wait a minute...no. No that can't...be...

No. No no no no no.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHY IMAGINE DRAGONS WHY?

I'm going to go weep uncontrollably in a corner now.

*rocks back and forth* Why must we all sell out? Why why why why....

Oh god, oh god. I just checked. It's not a lie.

CURSE YOU MICHAEL BAYYYYYYYYYYY!
