keyser, I've got both those scores. I like The Usual Suspects quite a lot, but I wouldn't go overboard about it. I know a lot of people love this Ottman score, but I can't really understand all the praise heaped on it. Maybe I ought to give it another spin.The Game is something I got because I absolutely adored the movie, and the score went a long way in keeping the film permanently on edge. On its own though it's very dense and heavy, in fact a real chore to get through. All in my humble opinion, of course.

I just picked up this beauty in the "Silver Screen Edition." I'm listening to it right now, so far a very good score from Ottman. I am quickly starting to appreciate his work a bit more with each score I pick up.

Other than the End Title (the Main Theme), which I still listen to a great deal, this and most all other Ottman scores for Singer's movies are temptrack shitshows. The Usual Suspects is one of the worst ones, but as musical cheating goes, it succeeds in the film. To those who are just getting into this, do you know all the scores he drew from for this? Stuff like JFK, Basic Instinct, The Abyss, etc.
I can't stand that filmmakers who seem to really care about the artform, about film music, are the worst offenders of temp tracking in Hollywood. I soured kinda quickly on Ottman, once he showed all he could offer in his first few scores (similar to how I feel about Giacchino, as unpopular as that opinion is around here), but his best work is away from Singer. Mostly that Incognito score.

Interesting. I know nothing about Ottman, and the only Giacchino I've heard is "The Incredibles," which I generally like.

How can you damn the whole score but like the main title... which is a swipe from the title to The Elephant Man?
That said, I really enjoy the score but as it's built around the film's editing. The film is brilliantly written and edited and the way it unfolds (the editing reveals the music, and not the other way around) is really something else. Props to Ottman for his output here.
Oh, no shit? I haven't seen The Elephant Man since well before The Usual Suspects, so I don't even remember the music. Now the whole thing is ruined! Haha
