"Transformations"? You don't hear ANY theme in there that isn't played EXACTLY the same way it was originally introduced.
As some reviewer mentioned, maybe it even was Clem, stacking a theme on top of another doesn't pass as thematic development.

The word here is "symmetry". Music, and orchestration especially I think, live from contrasts, and that's what Zimmer lacks completely. The music doesn't even try to be unpredictable and surprising.

By the way, could it be that the little box you have to check in order to post, the one that says "Mandatory, check this box to recognise that Filmtracks retains the right to delete this message", only appears in the discussions to Zimmer scores?
