...to compare this score to Young's work. These are two different composers with two wildly different styles and ways of working. Carolan also had to work within Eggers' vision for the film. Apples and oranges.

Also, why not review Young's Nosferatu and put your compliments in more concrete form?

I think it's completely appropriate to compare them since the two scores were written at nearly the same time for the exact same story and aesthetics. This site is unlikely to review Young's version on its own so this was their way of getting recognition to it a different way. I like it.

Fully agree. I see no problem that Young's score was written in 2023 for the movie that was released in 1922. This is the score that was written for the picture, so it can be reviewed as a normal soundtrack. It's too good to just praise it in review of another soundtrack. Clemmensen may have some principles, but even so, sometimes it's possible to change it, especially when the soundtrack is that good like Young's Nosferatu.
