[Eirik Myhr]

Yeah, I am actually maybe rating SOLO over THE FORCE AWAKENS as well. But agree about the «full-on» bombast tiredness. I am usually NOT a fan of this in general (I often call it «hack’n’slash» music). Never listened a lot to Powell, but I guess he is known for doing this a lot? In that case, I don’t think it was a big problem on SOLO. Maybe the hack’n’slashing is done in a more tasteful way, because I surprisingly liked the score even when it was being a bit intense.

You have to listen to OGA’S CANTINA, Thor! You will love it! I forgot to mention that the first track is a remix of the original Cantina Band song. I would normally hate a «remix» of such an iconic track, but in this case I was pleasantly surprised, though it in no way touches the greatness that follows in the next 10 tracks or so.
