efficient action score that, due to the film's setting, occasionally incorporates light Asian touches. The popularity of Hans "Long John" Zimmer (all the credits in the CD's liner notes include pirate-themed nicknames, like the roll call in aSimpsonsHalloween episode) isn't in doubt-- he sure is one in-demand composer -- but afficionados are divided about his artistic worth, and this score isn't about to reconcile them. Some think that Zimmer relies too much on his stable of composers and sticks to tried-and-true recipes; others admire his capacity to weave themes in and out of cues, creating a whole made of subtly interrelated parts.At World's Endfeeds both camps: seven of his collaborators are credited with writing "additional music," and the album feels by-the-numbers at times; but those inclined to listen very closely will be rewarded by the way Zimmer sneaks in bits of two main melodies (especially variations on the first track, a pirate theme titled "Hoist the Colours" and cowritten by director Gore Verbinski) throughout. The use of electronics is so light as to be almost undetectable, which will please fans of a more organic orchestral sound. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Advantages: Will please fans of the film. Disadvantages: Expensive, Not one of Hans Zimmer's best scores.
The soundtrack for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END could have been a three-hour dirge of overly-orchestrated fussing, I consider my ears fortunate that HANS ZIMMER sliced the whole thing down to an hour for the CD merchandise release.
Now, I'm not a mean-spirited person and I have more than a few of HANS ZIMMER's soundtracks to prove I'm a fan. It's just, poor HANS, dear HANS! Try as he might, he's not a good inheritor of other composers' ... ...gears.
The score for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END is the final musical chapter in an alleged trilogy, that began back in 2003 in the hands of KLAUS BADELT with PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL. BADELT's score served up a taut set of themes and thundering action-scene orchestrations that were as obscenely infectious as the film itself. I'd be sitting on the bus humming away to it for twenty minutes before I'd notice ...

Where is The Magic? Review ofPirates Of The Caribbean - At World's End - Various Artistsby

Advantages: Good soundtrack for Pirates of the Carribean fans Disadvantages: Doesn't have originality of first 2 movies
**What Is It?**
Pirates of the Carribean- At World's End is the soundtrack to accompany the hit Pirates of the Carribean Movie series. Released along side the movie release in May. **Why Buy It?**
I bought my CD because i am personally a big fan of soundtrack from movies (as you'll possibly see from my other reviews!) and i was the biggest Pirates of the Carribean fan. So i thought it deserved to be bought. I also bought it because i collect memoribellia ... ...a dance remix of the Pirates of the Carribean theme. It doesn't sound great. **Cover**
The cover is of the infamous Jack Sparrow (Played by the goregus Johnny Depp!) holding a sword with the misty, spooky grey backround. And with the Pirates of the Carribean logo at the top. So it just looks like the DVD cover really. This might actully confuse a lot of people as they may think there buying the movie but if you have a look at the back you will see ...

Advantages: Brilliant, unique music Disadvantages: None
Overview
Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End OST is probably the best soundtrack I have. When I first listened to it, I was impressed but I didn't think it was spectacular. After listening to it a few times however, I started to love every track and have been hooked since - it is a truly fantastic OST. I am a big fan of a lot of music composed by Zimmer, but this CD beats all the others (Pirates 1 &2 and Gladiator are others). Tracks ... ...telling the tale of the Pirates in Singapore - there is some unique parts to this track and it can get you in a really good mood.
3. At Wit's End
It took me ages to get into this track, but when I did.... oh my word this track really is brilliant. The first half is a bit quiet but the last 2 minutes are really special. Words cannot describe the end to this track so I'll let you have a think yourself after buying it.

I got this soundtrack a number of weeks ago along with the two previous soundtracks from this wonderful trilogy and to be honest i thought it was a load of bollocks. I have since listened to it a number of times and now its my FAVE cd ever. It has converted me to a SOUNDTRACK lover. Singapore is the best track...although mikeywhitto will disagree...as will sidawg but yano its all about opinion. Well jst say it was helpful that way i'll be happy...anyway THIS IS AMAZING AND HANS ZIMMER HAS DONE A GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!! GO HANS. xx
