It is a very good film, and a 'good' score. But calling this the 'best score in years' is rather silly.
Nobody here called it that.
Exactly. It was called "his" (Newman's) "best score in years."
It is not that either, Bridge of Spies has a lot more thematic and musical richness across the whole film.
For me it is definitely his best in years since the last Newman score I bought was probably Lemony Snicket. As opposed to Bridge of Spies I actually noticed the music in 1917 and it helped the film a lot. But, as I had said before, I'm not the biggest Tom Newman fan in the world so probably that's why I find 1917 better than many of his scores - it's different.
Yes, we are probably similar, I have found a lot of his music not much more than effects. His philosophy I have read is almost entirely against the grain of his musical family history, I guess it makes a certain amount of sense. In any case I agree that it serves this film quite well, my one issue was it was a wee bit overscored, which of course is a directorial decision, and a few electronic sprinkles, which drew attention to themselves as incongruities.

Just got round to buying this cheap. I'm glad I didn't pay full price as I think it's shit, on the whole. Maybe 2/3 listenable tracks.

It might need some time to grow on ya. At first listen I found it all very boring and it did nothing for me.
But then I watched the movie and it all kinda made more sense so I gave it another swing, and today its one of my favorite score albums. Listen to it alot!
I have done that even with John Williams. At first hearing, did not care for the Patriot but after the third listening, I love it. but I would suggest listening more than once from any score and/or composer you might have a pleasant surprise

Just listened to the score on Tidal; amazing work, very moving. I imagine it must have worked especially well with the imagery of the movie. I should finally get around to seeing this.
