Pirates Of The Caribbean Original Soundtrack

Excellent sound track

Super film soundtrack arguably the best of the whole franchise.

I would say that the thing that really makes a good movie a great movie is the music to go with it. If the soundtrack is rubbish you wont enjoy the film so much. Just look at Star Wars and E.T-This music is known and loved throughout the world because its just so darn good!Klaus Badelt's rollicking, rousing soundtrack to 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is the perfect partner to the hilarious film itself. Apart from the fact it's typically Piraty {if there is such a word...}with lots of rowdy crashes, deep foghorn-like bass notes and a hint of the songs of the seadogs {The drunken sailor?' etc.} The timing of each cymbal crash and drum beat is perfectly in time with the cannons fireing and the swords meeting. The best example of this is the fight between Jack Sparrow and Will Turner in the Smithy. Every sword crossed, every punch, hit and lunge, has a 'sound' to go with it. As the pace quickens the music quickens, and the opposite occurs when it slows. There is certain music to go with Barbossa's Captain Hook sequence, Will and Jacks move with and upturned rowing boat {Watch it.. you'll understand} and even Elizabeth collapsing into the sea 50ft below has its own little piece.It wasn't the Actors that kept time with the music either, the orchestra and the Conductor had to keep time with them! Cool!To conclude, you definitely get your money's worth, it's catchy, fun and interesting, and it sticks in your head. Which isn't so good...If i had one thing to complain about {and its really very small} it that the songs run into each other so you can't tell where you are in the CD. But no matter. Its a good all rounder-if you liked the film, get the soundtrack!

This is a good score and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Zimmer's work on the Gladiator soundtracks. It has very powerful 'swashbuckling' motifs that run through nearly every track and is very well produced.My only criticism is that too many synthesised instruments are used. I sincerely hope that we are not witnessing a trend to come of dispensing with the full orchestra and replacing it with samplers and keyboards. The effect is noticeable; the percussion often sounds hollow, and sometimes sounds are distorted in an effort to boost its presence. The synthesised instruments in Gladiator are barely noticeable, and in fact are probably only apparent if you are very famililar with their sounds. In the case of this soundtrack however, I'm afraid that their presence is perceptible, and may have been seriously detrimental were the score not otherwise excellent.One caveat; I noticed this score being likened to Lord Of The Rings. I am afraid to say that this is wrong. A comparison with Gladiator might withstand scrutiny, but this soundtrack entirely lacks the dynamic subtely and muscial variation of Lord Of The Rings. A simple comparison of the films should clarify this!In conclusion, if you enjoyed the Gladiator score, in particular Zimmer's driving 'Gladiator Waltz', then you will not be dissappointed. If, on the other hand, you prefered Lisa Gerrard's lilting solos or those of Enya in Lord Of The Rings, this soundtrack is unlikely to satisfy. Overall however, I must confess it is a very well produced score.

Loved the film and the soundtrack reminds me of the film, i recognise most of them. Good album

I absolutely love this cd. And what's more, my children aged 11 , 10 and 5 all absolutely love it too. Something we can all enjoy in the car! All the powerful, memorable tunes from the movie that stick in your head forever after hearing them a few times. And as if that wasn't enough, my 10 year old daughter has spent half of her Easter hols making up dances to it! The best value holiday entertainment I've ever bought. I'd be amazed if anyone who has seen the movie did not think this was excellent value for money.

Broken cd box. Very disappointed

One of my favourite soundtracks by one of my favourite composers. I love the movies and the music makes them even better .
