The soundtrack sounds very fake on some tracks. The Trumpets are awfull and lifeless. The orchestrestion is kind of empty in some way, like a melody, a bass Line and near nothing in between to support the simple pop kind of chords, no textures, some emptiness in the Spectrum. The songs are good and well produced. But the pure score/underscore tracks are not very good. A score is not a pop album…
