Hey guys. i just watched Pacific Rim, and holy crap did Del Toro deliver. Every fight scene was just so damn satisfying.
Djawadi's score was actually extremely effective in the film. It built up decently and had just the right amount of snazz and energy. I actually like it a lot more than before. So, does anyone have a Pacific Rim chronological order worked out for the score album? The album ends on a very anticlimactic note. Literally, I guess.

Agreed, a lot of fun. I think the score was very effective and agree with the conclusions in Jon's review. You know, I believe the evolution in Djawadi's scores is directly attributable to his work on Game of Thrones. The rigorous work of scoring a weekly TV series has allowed him greater latitude to craft themes and refine his music. Each season improves qualitatively for me and this has carried over into his film scores. We have come a long way from Iron Man and I am happy with his career trajectory.
All the best!

It's funny, outside of the main theme, I don't even really like the work Djawadi has done on Game of Thrones, but perhaps you're right, because Pacific Rim is a blast. I think it's actually the first score by the composer I've actively liked, and shows a side to him I've never heard before. Totally caught me off guard, and I'd say it's one of the best (or at least most thoroughly entertaining) scores of the year, moreso even than Tyler's Iron Man 3. In fact, if Djawadi's Iron Man score had been like this, I would've loved him to have scored the whole series.

I am also quite a big fan of Djawadi's Medal of Honor entry. I think actually it still has his best theme. Heroes Aboard is plain beauty.
