I wouldn't normally interfere among Hans Zimmer's fans but I dare disagree on this point made as you address wide-range of film music fans, Daren.
I happened upon this score by chance in my friend's CD collection a week ago and made an MD copy of which he approved. First off, I would not shed blood for Hans Zimmer's soundtracks, please note that, though since I liked Gladiator and absolutely love Crimson Tide I thought it couldn't be any of a trash fish as long as even Lisa Gerald and M were on the board. It's a good score, much much better than Thin Red Line and Pearl Harbor on my ears. But I still find this score to be too "Zimmer-pure" to be blithely recommended to non-Zimmer fans on the same level as Prince of Egypt or The Lion King could be. Hans Zimmer's music is considerably peculiar on its own, evident more than glaringly on this one score, yet hugely personal, something casual (again non-Zimmer) fans should be aware of before purchasing this item. Your recommendation even could cause a disappointment upon inveigled fans who already consider "buying without making sure..."
