Editorial Reviews

As the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy has unfolded, the films' quirky characters have become even more of a draw than the action and special effects. The music for the films has followed suit, although not at the same pace: Hans Zimmer's score for the final film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End has a few moments of whimsy, spooky drama and exotic flavor mixed with more typical, churning musical backdrops for the action set pieces. With sawing strings and huge brass and choral sections, tracks such as "At Wit's End," "I Don't Think Now Is the Best Time," and "I See Dead People in Boats" are no doubt serviceable in the film's context, but separated from it, they're too repetitive and overwhelming to be enjoyable. However, "Up Is Down"'s Celtic flair makes it more interesting than many of the other amped-up tracks, while the chanted shanty "Hoist the Colours" and mischievous, sinister "Multiple Jacks" prove that the score's quieter moments are the most entertaining. It's also too bad that Keith Richards, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow's pirate dad, isn't featured somehow in the music -- it's a missed opportunity that makes this send-off for Captain Jack and his maties just a little less satisfying.

October 12, 2009: Hans Zimmer is one of the greats, that just can't be argued. And after you listen to this, you will cry "Aye!" with me on that. Zimmer does his magic again in PC3, World's End. If this was the end of the world, it couldn't happen to better music- ironically said of course! Anyways, things are looking bleak for the pirates in #3 and Zimmer opens us up the that dispair with track 1, where the pirates sing a song of courage and strength even in the face of imminent extinction. #2 and 3 are more powerful, and daring, creating visions of the endless freedom of the sea. 4 is more though moderate, before launching us into the celtic sounding #5, which is vibrant, energetic and spirited. #6-9 are also wonderful, with climaxes and more soothing parts, a nice mix to keep the attention. #10 -13 are much more dynamic and potent, driving us to the conclusion. The tracks are all actual pieces, no mish mash of sounds, the songs are all melodic, balanced and have wondrous variety. Through the music, you share the adventure and sample the emotions, tensions and so forth like gifts from the sea. It would be a great pity to miss out on this...so please don't miss out! Get this CD!
