He's a pirate

Tuesday, September 9, 2003 » music update

The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack (composer: Klaus Badelt) is excellent. It is easily the best action movie soundtrack since The Rock, yes. Nothing else even comes close to its adventure-osity. And, unlike The Rock, this one is absolutely relentless. I think there are maybe one or two tracks without the pounding drums and frantic string sections, but otherwise it's over-the-top energy all the way through. It would be ridiculous if it weren't so AWESOME.
