It's forgettable. I rather listen to "Die Another Day" on repeat.
Hey, careful, people are touchy about that sorta thing. ;)
Get ready for the "the awards mean nothing!" mantra. Of course, if David Arnold had gotten the same accolades we'd hear a different tune regarding that.
It's all over that score. "A few scant nods" is hardly accurate. Off the top of my head:
"No Good About Goodbye" is really prominent as well, and arguably the driving melodic references more frequently. But they're both there, and I find it really interesting how he makes both work (+ the Bond theme) without the score ever feeling overburdened.
Don't forget those who won't give the SP score an honest chance because of "brothergate." ;-)
Well, some of the music seems to hit the right spots footage wise. And that epic ending is glorious. But...who knows?
Doubtful, I would say. Sounds like usual trailer stuff.
It isn't Zimmer no.
Although, when one listens to a track like Silhouette, it makes one thinks Newman knows and understands the action side of Bond, but chose not to do it often. I really think composers who get action right are very good, because scoring action scenes wrongly can make it begin to sound more noise than music. Honestly, I usually fast-forward Newman's Granborough Road to the end part, where Newman features that nice rendition of the Bond theme, because the rest of that track for me, sounds too noisy to enjoy.
Hey, careful, people are touchy about that sorta thing. ;)
Aside from “Field Trip”, I’m not seeing how any of these count. If they were honest attempts by Arnold to put the song into the score then he did a terrible job.

Is it available anywhere? I’ve been obsessed with this rework since the ‘Now Your Enemy is My Enemy’ spot.
I didn't realise Pfeifer didn't do the second SPECTRE trailer - the one that reworked OHMSS. I think his music was missed in today's trailers. I'm not quite as enamoured with the music as others are.

I think I would be turfed out of England instantly if I didnt do Bond justice
🤣
Thank you so much for this! Hopefully it will get released properly soon. Best trailer music for Bond since Goldeneye. Chills.
Do these trailer songs get released at any point? I remember looking around a lot for the Spectre OHMSS trailer music and having to make due with a digital orchestral cover of it on Spotify.
Thanks! I thought no one had spotted it :D
You’re welcome.
I enjoyed the links, too. This way I could listen to the trailer without being spoilered at all. ;)
Yeah. Me too. I never understood the criticisms of it. It's a big, beautiful and triumphant piece of music. Though I do see the point that there is a time and a place for it to be used and there hasn't been too many of those in the last couple of eras. We need another "good army versus bad army" sequence to give it a nice big whirl. In that sense, it's as much on the filmmakers as it is the composer. I'd hate for a composer to shoehorn it in where it's not suitable.
That being said, I'd rather have a small assault army/team led by Commander Bond to the sound of an Hans Zimmer 007 theme, than a 1+1 buddy movie finale, but I'll reserve my judgement on that ;) for I think the two 00s will have different things to do, although so did Bond and Jinx in DUD :-&
