Which Balfe scores, in your opinion, are his best? I’ve just gotten into his stuff recently with Lego Batman and would like a good starting point with him, thanks!

I really liked Son Of God (Faith is amazing), Terminator Genisys is nice too.

Beyond: Two Souls and Blackwood are probably my top two from him.

From what I've heard, I'd say my top picks from Balfe would be Lego Batman, Home and Beyond: Two Souls. But like Zanelli, I feel Balfe is a composer who does some of his best work in additional music moreso than his solo scores, so if I was making a Balfe playlist I'd definitely also add some of his contributions to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Kung Fu Pandas 2 and 3, Megamind and Inception.

Nothing... Just kidding! Animation movies (Lego, Home, Kung Fu Panda, Penguins and Megamind) and video games scores (Beyond, Assassins Creed, Modern Warfare). Yeah, I like also some other things, but nothing too remarkable like those above.
Really loving this score and the film ROCKED. Does anyone know about Genius ? Lorne has posted photos today or recording sessions

Genius is the Rob Howard TV show based on The life of Einstein .

I believe Hans is writing the main theme with Lorne and Lorne is the Doug the score to all of the episodes . The super bowl spot looks amazing . Frost Nixon was a unique score from them both .

Great score . Nice to hear something so different and so many styles
Lego Batman just got released in Australia so it was great to hear how the score worked to the film. Amazing work . The Robin song I Found You is excellent and Lorne should be writing more songs . Interested to see Ghost in the shell now
Bought the score weeks ago but only now got to see Lego Batman. Lorne's score is better than the first film I think . Great tunes and lovely to listen to and I hope he does more Lego movies
The demos he posted on Facebook arnt on the album ? Does anyone know if releasing them . Great soundtrack and which more animation music was like this

Great sounding score . Definitely best score of the year . This a cool Batman scorof and better than most of the superheroes movie soundtracks week done to him
There seems some negative comments about this score but I think it is great because it is fun but also with great serious overtones. For a change , the music was as important as ththe storyline for a change . I was actually shocked to see Lorne's name at the end because I had never heard his music this good. seems like he was allowed to go wild and enjoy writing . Enjoyed this soundtrack more than anything in a long time so well done

Onlyon this forum ! I think it's amazing and the music makes the film . I have always been a fan of Hans music but now lorn music is beating everyone's music for animation . Really great and best batman score since batman begins

"now lorn music is beating everyone's music for animation."
Sorry. As good as this score is, Lorne still has a long long way to go before he reaches John Powell's level.

Sorry but !!! Edmund you seem to be in the minority ! Social media is constantly Mentioning the score in reviews . I realize I'm new to the new site but I follow Ihim on twitter and Facebook and everyone seems to be congratulating on the soundtrack . Apart from you ! Anyway - it's fun and I close my eyes and sit back and listen to it and enjoy A what else can I ask for .

Good for him! It's great that this score is getting such acclaim. It's a very fun and enjoyable one. But go out and ask those same people if they like this more or How to Train Your Dragon and then come back and tell me what they say.

Not just Powell but Zimmer too! The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda and The Lion King! Another great Powell animated score is Shrek, which he shares with Gregson-Williams :D

also 1:29-2:50 from 'Black' was for some reason replaced in the movie with new music no other track has edits like that I think tho

Where does the song I Found You feature in the film? It's a beautiful and it's the Robin theme but want to know where it goes .
Really enjoying this score and the film was great . Lorne's writing is getting Better and better and this is his best so far . Beautiful and great music .
Don't know why everyone is actually raving about this score ? Have listened to it once and I haven't felt the urge to listen to it again. It's a fun score for sure. But saying it's the best score for an animated movie since a long time is a bit too much credit for me... But hey everyone can like whatever they want. Love the first minute of The Arrival of Robin though.

I kind of agree with you. It's a fun score but the level of accolades it's getting would have you think it's the second coming of Jesus Christ.

It's not just fun score, it's fun "Batman" score. Sure many of us loved Hans' Dark Knight scores but this kind of addresses more aspects of Batman's & Joker's characters not just their broody nature and completely insane unpredictability that was there in Nolan's movies. Also the contrasting comic nature of the film helps the score to be enjoyed on a different level.
Of course it's not the greatest animation score. But when combined with the kind of popularity Batman & Lego movies have, it's just that more people are talking about it. And I, for one, am glad Lorne is getting some much deserved attention.

Obviously you haven't been reading the reviews then !!!! I think it's a great score and the film is a massive success . The music is is big part of the film and works brilliantly
Edmund Meinerts
2017-02-14 22:24:21
So if "the reviews" say something, it must be true and the rest of us have to fall in line? LOL

Has anyone seen the physical release . Amazon seems sold out already
Mike
2017-02-15 04:19:42
Different Mike here....frequent poster...Whenever I see other Mikes here, I feel the need to change my name. ;)
But I agree with Edmund. It's pretty good, but it's not amazing. Maybe seeing the movie will change my mind.
By the way, does the credit "score producer" for Max Aruj and Thomas Farnon means, that they are also write additional music and arrangements for this?
This is the soundtrack album that Zimmer and Balfe's Megamind should've gotten! That release was pathetic; it failed to satisfy those who wanted the songs (only had 4) and those who wanted the score (13 cues).
Fantastic score, one of Lorne's best. Has anyone else noticed how he quotes The Dark Knight score in "Your Greatest Enemy"?

It's funny how everyone is thinking they are hearing every single Batman reference . Fantastic score . Not what I expect led . Seeing the film this Weekend . Hope it's as good as the soundtrack
Bioscope

Do I hear a distinct quote of the Arrowverse motifs? I keep seeing The Flash running past me in my mind's eye :)
I can't stop listening to it . It is everything an animation soundtrack should sound like and more . Just saw the film today and the whole score stands Out in the film . I think this is the year for Balfe .......
I Found You is the Robin theme I believe . It is the best song on the album I think and lorne should write more songs . I think it's the best super heros score in along time .
Has anyone seen the movie yet ? Reviews seem amazing and score is sounding the best . Apart from Zimmer - best music to come out of RCP in a LONG time.
Edmund Meinerts
2017-02-09 14:06:40
I'd say that this is the best RCP score since probably Eddie the Eagle - but it doesn't top that little gem, for me. ;)

What a score . Great animation music but with solid themes . Defiantly best score of the year - hard to beat this one . Favorite cue is Lava attack and then Kaos in Gotham.
