My most awaited score of 2012 is here and it is trully brilliant!
I own and love both the Batman Begins score and The Dark Knight score but this score takes things to a whole new level. The score is roughly 52 minutes long and features 15 tracks. It is not an all-out action score, but the action music is exceptionally good. The whole score basically flows through meditative aggression, darkened depression and energizing, forceful action. I love the repeated chant and the unspontaneous brass screeching that is maintained at length without interruption reflecting the entrance of The Dark Knight. I love the way Hans Zimmer highlights the sullen low-spirited feeling and oppressive feelings of gloom and inadequacy throughout this score.
`A Storm Is Coming' is the very first track and starts the album off in a befittingly threatening manner but it is only 37 seconds long! It is too short! At least it isn't the shortest track on the album!
`On Thin Ice' is a good emotional theme that ends with the same theme that is extended in `Why Do We Fall?'
`Gotham's Reckoning' is a wonderful action track ruled by powerful thumping, inharmonious strings and a chanting choir. The first half is menacing and features a quiet Bane chant, droning horns and a touch of electric instruments. The music then intensifies and employs severe, crushing strings to build a sound with electric instruments and ascending notes that are both messy and ambitious before finishing with a climaxing Bane chant. I love it when the brass injections kick in, imitating the rush of power-driven tremors.
`Mind If I Cut In' unquestionably sounds unlike the rest of the score.... Read more ›

It's been an excruciating wait, but finally we have The Dark Knight Rises, sequel to the Ambitious and excellent "Batman Begins" and the truly Spectacular "The Dark Knight".
With a great film should come a great musical score, correct? Well I'm happy to say it does. Hans Zimmer is going solo this time around, after teaming up with James Newton Howard for the previous two Films.
1. A Storm Is Coming
This haunting and suspenseful piece is what starts off our Album, and does a good Job setting the mood.
2. On Thin Ice
People hoping for the usual Batman theme to immediately take over may be left slightly disappointed as we then enter a soft and emotional piece. Not bad by any means, but not one of the Album's best either.
3. Gotham's Reckoning
And here we are clearly introduced to our villain as the drums are rolled out and we get our first dose of the rather adrenaline pumping chant that has featured in every Trailer for the film. A suspenseful and dark piece.
4. Mind If I Cut In?
I'll be honest, I quite like this. It's a different type of piece that suggests a certain female character may have a secret Agenda.
5. Underground Army
Well now we are really cooking now. More drums and more hints at things to come. Far from the best track, but far from the worst.
6. Born In Darkness
Once again we leave our drums and chanting and head back to a relaxed and emotional atmosphere. There is a lot to take from this track, but it was one of the ones I found the least interesting.
7. The Fire Rises
Boom Boom Boom. The Drums are blazing now, and the Men's choir is chanting away madly.... Read more ›

Recently saw the movie the dark knight rises and one of the main things I loved about the film was its soundtrack! Hans Zimmer is my favourite composer to date and he doesnt disappoint with this soundtrack. keeping elements from the previous two films whilst adding in new music elements, my favourite track being "Gothams Reckoning", which is the music introducing bane. Despite some of the tracks on the disc being very short, there is still plenty to enjoy! For any big fan of the nolan trilogy or of Hans Zimmer I highly recommend buying this soundtrack. 10/10 :D

This score gets full marks because every piece is perfect unlike the previous two scores. How the hell this didn't get nominated for best score (Oscars) is beyond me!

Another reason why I love Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy so much is because of the films' music. We owe both Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard a great deal of thanks, for not only helping to bring life to Nolan's vision, but also to embody the essence of icons like Batman and the Joker through stunning, unforgettable pieces of music i.e. `Molossus' and `Why So Serious?'.
For The Dark Knight Rises, it's a solo effort this time. Sadly, James Newton Howard departed after The Dark Knight, leaving Hans Zimmer to compose the soundtrack for the final part. However, I will say that there's NO cause for concern. Especially given that Hans' absolute flair for music has been crucial to such hits like The Lion King, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean and Inception (among others).
As with the soundtracks for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, this album features a beautiful array of distinctive, unforgettable pieces that capture the essence of the characters, the film's major sequences/moments and exemplary pacing.
The best examples of this are "Gotham's Reckoning" and "Mind If I Cut In?" - the themes for Bane and Catwoman respectively. "Gotham's Reckoning" is a tense, dramatic piece that just explodes into something truly titanic, whilst "Mind If I Cut In?" is quite a playful, delightful melody boasting soothing piano music. On the memorable scenes front, "Why Do We Fall?" is just an absolutely inspiring and heroic theme (best track here!), "Nothing Out There" is a poignant, heartbreaking piece designed to bring you down-to-earth, "Despair" turns out to be quite the opposite, and stuff like "Imagine the Fire", "Necessary Evil", "Fear Will Find You" & "The Fire Rises" are full of chaos, disaster, battle, aftermath that will take your heart along for an epic thrill-ride....

One of the many reasons why 3rd Batman film failed
This soundtrack is missing the input of James Newton Howard and is lacking the innovation of the first two films soundtrack's (which I own). Read more
