I’m not impressed, but I’ve never made a secret of not liking junkie XL. He makes too generic of a sound for me. Which is what this sounds like. I will say though that this is light years better than Danny elfmans score. I do miss hans on this one

While I still think Danny Elfman is great, his style has waned a bit. Unless he reteams with Burton and Depp on another modern day classic.
