Comments on: The Dark Knight Soundtrack, Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard http://www.thelisteningblog.com/2008/08/the-dark-knight-soundtrack-hans-zimmer-and-james-newton-howard/ “Listen all the time, and remind yourself when you’re not listening, or else the mike and the tape recorder will get the best of you.” – Pauline Oliveros Fri, 18 Jun 2010 02:15:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Brian http://www.thelisteningblog.com/2008/08/the-dark-knight-soundtrack-hans-zimmer-and-james-newton-howard/comment-page-1/#comment-13121 Brian Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:16:55 +0000 http://ajtesttest.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/the-dark-knight-soundtrack-hans-zimmer-and-james-newton-howard/#comment-13121 I thought it was brilliant soundtrack that sets the tone for the intense exciting story. The tracks "Like a Dog Chasing Cars" (track 8) really bring back the feeling of the movie and set the scenes in motion. This was also featured in Star Trek trailers this summer. I don't think it is fair to listen to a highly compressed version of the soundtrack on an amazon sample page to form an opinion.

I, too, was so overwhelemed with the dialogue, plot development, creation of Two Face, and especially Heath Ledger's execution of the Joker character, that the soundtrack made little impact on the rest of the film, other than, it was there.
