	I am impressed also. Got the CD last night and it was excellent. I'm absolutely loving track 5, 'Up is Down'. That jig is so catchy. 'What shall we die for?' is ace too. -----signature----- Mmm....

	I think my favorite moment on the soundtrack is in "At Wit's End" where we hear the melancholy Davy Jones' Theme on music box wtih the new love theme coming in slowly underneath and then the orchestra and choir swell to an amazing, grand, and tragic rendition of Davy Jones' Theme.

	I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this. I have the first two, but in fact, I only just recently picked up the DMC score. Forgot about it. But I have to say, the Kraken's theme is one of most favourite pieces of music ever. I love both scores. I've seen AWE twice now, so the music is fresh in my mind. So is the trailer music. Can't wait to hear the entire soundtrack in peace. -----signature----- But not yet... ...not yet!

	Listening to the samples from Amazon, and my favorite one is 'Up is Down'. The fast-paced music, and the strings make it sound superb. I'm definitely going to buy this soundtrack, as I have the other two. -----signature----- "Lasagna would not require teeth to properly chew." -McCourt's in Session

	Did anyone think that the 'Parlay' track sounds a bit like the theme from 'Johnny Guitar'. I have not seen the movie, either of them, but I have heard the Johnny Guitar theme and they sound strikingly similar. -----signature----- "Lasagna would not require teeth to properly chew." -McCourt's in Session

	"Parlay" is a very obvious homage to Ennio Morricone's score to Once Upon A Time In The West, the track "Man With A Harmonica" in particular. -----signature----- "Okey dokey, Doctor Jones, hold on to your potatoes!"

	I've been avoiding this thread for a bit, until I saw the film and purchased the soundtrack. After having done both this afternoon, I can say that I find this score quite enjoyable, perhaps more "polished" than the first two.

	Saw the movie last night and have to say that the score worked very well in the film. When I first listened to the soundtrack, I really didn't care for the Multiple Jacks bit, but in the context of the movie, it fits in nicely. My favorite scene both in terms of music and what happens was the wedding of Will and Elizabeth. The whole thing was just so over the top that you couldn't help but love it (paticularly the string flourish when Will and Elizabeth cross to stab two members of Jone's crew). And Geoffrey Rush just absolutely nailed his performance in that scene. Overall, I found the film to be fun and entertaining if a bit convoluted at times. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to stick around after the credits.

	Dull, interminably serious, dark, repetitive, predictable... Zimmer used the orchestra more, but the orchestrations must have been very simplistic, because most of it sounded like the same synthesized stuff, at least in the sound mix of the film. There were occasional moments where drama began to emerge from the music, especially the last scenes with Will and Elizabeth, and the Jack Sparrow theme, with its lively cello solo, worked well, but by and large the score was lifeless. Even the lifeless theme from the first film, "He's a Pirate," would have been welcome because of its nostalgia value, but it was reserved for the end credits (save for a few boring, low-key variations in dialogue scenes). Zimmer tried, but he just doesn't have it.
