Not in the case of Zimmer. That´s exactly the problem you see. The technical facility of his music and the naivete of his methods can be repulsive even inside the film music industry. These facts are hidden besides all the orchestral grandeur. Try listening to the music of the Pirates played by a rock band. You will conclude that the difference between Zimmer´s music and pop music is not that big. The reviewer quickly understood this. Anyone with some musical background can see this.
