Great….an album of washed up pop stars poorly plagiarizing Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Does this Reitzell guy still claim to have written Leadbelly’s “In The Pines”? Send in the lawyers.
Would you calm down a bit!
Thousands of music pieces are pale copies of what you’ve already heard. Whatever you do you can’t change that. Sure the theme sounds like the Immigrant Song from Trent Reznor, so what?
If you’re not happy, keep your anger to yourself, some people enjoy this soundtrack.
Reitzell often collaborates with artists, remaking songs. It’s not stealing! Take Nirvana for example, their hit song Come as you are, it’s a sample from The Killing Joke – Eighties. Do you cry about that? No!
