HGW is an extremely perplexing composer to me. Lol. He has simultaneously some of my highest rated, most played scores and some absolute bummers I wish I never listened to. When he hits, he REALLY hits and when he misses, he REALLY misses. Prince of Persia, The Last Duel, Prince Caspian, Sinbad and Kingdom of Heaven are in my top 20 of all time. Crazy.
