This sounds like it should accompany one of those ultra-worthy HBO dramas the chattering classes talk about and you watch while secretly wishing you were binging on Say Yes to the Dress instead.

I've never been an Elfman fan, but this score is great! Along with Extreme Measures, I'm enjoying the darker side of his catalogue.
Yes! Dolores is probably his best score and Extreme Measures is very similar. I have said on this site many times that I think EM is one of his best and I am always met with disagreement. Well, I am here to repeat, EM is one of his best. Dolores, EM and Sommersby. Try Sommersby next if you haven't heard it.
