The Hydra Battle cue is truly Menken's worst

I think I have to be a die-hard Disney fan, because I did enjoy Menken's score for Hercules and even the songs. However, a particular track that I never really enjoyed was the Hydra battle, which are just sporadic bursts of brass with no form. Other than that Hercules should deserve four or three stars (it's not the best Disney score, of course).
