Dust Bros.: Fight Club
20th Century Fox/ Restless
I swear the motherfucker sounded ten, no, twenty times as fresh and exciting
in the theater. Well, no. That would still be zero. Fuck. Okay: Parentheses,
variable "fresh" plus one, close parentheses, times twenty. There.
Those of you looking for a cheap sample source CD, this is it- if it came down
to a lawsuit nobody would be able to figure out whether you ripped off the
Dust Brothers or the Dust Brothers' sources. Or even the Dust Brothers'
sources' sources, as the case may be. Par for the course for a movie score
nowadays I suppose, meaning there isn't an original musical phrase or sound on
here. I'm not talking about genre innovation, either- I mean I've heard _all_
of this before. It was either on a Juno Reactor record or a NIN record or a
Hive record or a MBM record or in a PC game soundtrack, but dammit, I've heard
all this shit. What's worse is the DBs have put it all together so badly that
it's not even worthy of a stoner headnod 99% of the time and the transitions
are just as sloppy as the quick edits in the movie. In the film, Fincher has a
point to doing all the choppy editing- but this is a score, guys, on CD, and
you could at least mix it together a little more interestingly than STOP.
MUSIC. HALT. SILENCE... MUSIC. STOP. every goddamned forty five fucking
seconds.
Okay, so that wasn't the short review. But I am annoyed. Verdict: Inbred
techno-hop slag. Computers write smoother stuff than this. Badly put together,
sorely uncreative. I am Jack's massive disappointment.
