"The only major detraction from Goldsmith's Legend score is a crashing glissando, or wobbly electronic pulse, that jabs at the listener several times near the beginning of the score for the goblins and as dark events are suddenly foreshadowed in the story more generally. These "oiya-oiyu, oiya-oiyu" noises (as opposed to the hard "doyng!" noises heard courtesy the Blaster Beam in the original Star Trek score, though just as metallic in general tone) often interrupt Goldsmith's best statements of the lullaby and nearly ruin the integrity of a few cues."

To be fair, the goblins who are stalking Lily and Jack appear on-screen at those precise moments, and, though it may sound jarring out of context, it fits the visuals perfectly.
