Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The soundtrack for the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie was infamous for having been whipped up rather hastily. For the sequel, Hans Zimmer takes the reins and comes up with his best effort in ages. Things start off with a nice cello theme for Johnny Depp's character, "Jack Sparrow." After that, it's high gear all the way, beginning with "The Kraken," on which Zimmer unleashes gales of symphonic aggro. Even when he closely follows what Hollywood execs clearly believe are set-in-stone rules for contemporary soundtracks, he throws in interesting wrenches. He does cram in both wailing female vocals and stomping percussion in "Dinner Is Served," but then the track abruptly turns into the kind of demented waltz you usually get from Danny Elfman. As usual with sequels, winks to the first movie pop in and out--the Black Pearl theme reappears in "I've Got My Eye on You" and "Hello Beastie"--but overall this album is more consistent. At least until you get to the final track, that is, a pounding offering by melodic-trance overlord DJ Tiësto. Pirates, wave your arms in the air like you just don't care. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Product Description
Captain Jack Sparrow is back for more action and adventure on the high seas! Once again thrown into the world of the supernatural, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) finds out that he owes a blood debt to the legendary Davey Jones (Bill Nighy), captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. And as if this weren't enough, the captain's problems manage to wreck the wedding plans of a certain Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightly), who are forced to join Jack on yet another misadventure.

Soundtrack features original score by Hans Zimmer plus a bonus remix track by the world-renowned DJ Tiesto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hans Zimmer Provides A Brilliant Continuation For The Trilogy, Not A Reincarnation Of Badelt's Score To The First Film, July 6, 2006
By Kaya Savas (Bethesda, MD USA) - See all my reviews
  
The first Pirates Of The Caribbean score is one of the most popular adventure scores of all time and I can't believe it was not nominated. Klaus Badelt composed the score with very little time to do so, which is why Hans Zimmer helped guide him through the process. If you look on the back of the CD case of the first score, you will see that the score is "over"produced by Hans Zimmer. Zimmer did write some stuff for the first film, but Klaus helmed it and it turned out simply amazing. Now the master takes over for the apprentice and Hans Zimmer delivers an excellent but very different score for the sequel.

I think the major difference between the scores is the tone. Badelt's score was much lighter and had an epic feel to it while Zimmer's score is darker and much heavier. Since we are dealing with a trilogy I am assuming that the three films will be different in tone as well. Zimmer's score is a full-blown synth/orchestration that borrows themes from the first score as well as add a whole new feel. We are in the belly of the whale here, and the score definately suggests that. A lot of people will probably say that they enjoyed the first score versus this one, and I can understand that. Hans Zimmer doesn't really establish the main themes that we heard in the first one. Instead he only brings them in once in a while just to remind us that this is a continuation of the first movie and not a reincarnation. The highlight of the album is definately track 2 where we hear some signature Zimmer. He uses a structure that reminds me of his work on King Arthur. I absolutely loved this score and can't wait to hear his score to the trilogy's final installment next summer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Zimmer's "Dead Man's Chest" Swashes a Fine Buckle, July 11, 2006
By G M. Stathis (cedar city, utah USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
First foremost, and above all Hans Zimmer's score for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is a perfect fit for the film, and the soundtrack album is a fine representation of most of the music for the Disney epic. Sure, a good deal of it is based on themes from the first "Pirates of the Caribbean," and surely all of the themes thus far will reappear next summer with the third and final chapter, but it is good stuff and almost everyone loves it. We still have some lingering questions about how much of the original themes were Zimmer's work and what should be credited to Klaus Badelt, but by now that is all rather academic. In this score Zimmer makes new use of the original themes, the true foundation of this musical voyage, and pops in new themes and motifs, especially his music for the Kraken and Davy Jones, and a few hornpipes for fun. Darker and more menacing in places with apt use of chorus and organ (or electronic organ) that work particularly well as motifs for the Kraken and Davy Jones (including a rather sentimental music-box theme that is quite touching and foreboding). Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann are all remembered by musical signatures, both in the earlier themes and some new variations, but so are the Caribbean natives. It is all swashbuckling fun, and on that level could not be much better. One thing though; obviously the album was cut before the final version of the film and there is some music that did not make it to the album (much of the opening)...too bad, because we could have done without the Tiesto bonus. Good produciton values and packaging by Disney.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Good Music!!!!, July 9, 2006
By TJ (PEMBROKE PINES, FL) - See all my reviews
I'm not going to ramble on and give a track by track review. I'm just going to say, if you enjoyed the score to the first movie composed by Klaus Badelt, then you will most defintley enjoy this one.

Hans Zimmer here takes over as the main composer, and he thoroughly and effectivley creates new and wonderful music for this second pirates movie, while still bringing to the table the themes that we heard in the first. One major difference you will notice is the music for this soundtrack is much darker and that is because the overall theme and story for this second movie is darker than the first.

All in all, Highly recommended!! 5 stars
