In my opinion, for almost a decade, there have been a great many forgettable soundtracks. Granted, you'll have some that stand out, like say "Lord of the Rings," but if you listen to a bunch of today's soundtracks, they are, what I believe, by-the-numbers scores. They all sound the same; they don't stand out. You can't even whistle to many of these scores. I love Hermann, Williams, Goldsmith, Barry and Scifrin (sp). The work these guys did was even able to lift some mediocre films they scored for. I'm still waiting to hear from the new generation of maestros... Okay, I'll shut up. I agree wholeheartedly.
