Synth? Is the reviewer drunk?

Are you drunk? If we're talking about full scores here, both peices did contain synthisized music, but were not based on such. American Beauty's soundtrack relied on percussion. the vibes in the beginning, or "dead already" or, the pulsing, yet sensual rhythm of the ride cymbal during his (kevin spacey's) teen fantasies. Or the light, abstract piano lightly backed by strings during the plastic bag scene. yea, the strings are synth, but the piano isn't - as i recall piano is percussion, yes? So, if you're going to slam the american beauty score - and i mean FULL score - then at least learn something about music. And why not compare the k-pax score to the American Beauty score? I've compared them, only because i find them both very good peices of music.

This has got to be the Worst review i've ever read.

Thank you very much - bye
