Music reviews of What Lies Beneath (Score)

Music Review: too short!!!
Rating: 2 Stars

Not many people may mind the short length, given that it is one of those repetitive scores that can be summed up in 30 minutes. However, I never mind a score being repetitive. I would love to have every single note of this score some day. It would make a good Varese Sarabande Deluxe Edition, but that seems unlikely. The fees are very high, so I shouldn't hold my breath.

(...) let's just get down to the score itself. It is a wonderful score. I would definitely recommend it for Alan Silvestri fans, as well as horror/suspense fans. Robert Zemeckis did what he thought Hitchcock would do in the digital age, while Alan Silvestri played the Bernard Herrmann of the new millenium. This score is very reminiscent of PSYCHO (especially "Forbidden Fruit" and the beginning of "You Know"). Herrmann fans might also notice that "The Getaway" is sort of an homage to "The Prelude" from PSYCHO. "The Getaway" is one cue that makes this album worth getting. "Reunited" is almost as good. "Ouija Board" and "You Know" are enough to give your goosebumps goosebumps.

If you are not a fan of Silvestri's horror/suspense scores, but would rather go for something more emmotional, then this is perfect for you as well, as I am sure you will be moved by "Panic Attack", "I Opened The Door", and some of "End Credits".

I would love to have given it five stars, but like I said, the length is just insufficient. The score itself, however, deserves an unlimited number of stars. I say, you should still get it, but don't depend on it to kill a few hours.
