Fantastic "despair and sadness" work by Howard,
By
This review is from: Sixth Sense (Audio CD)
I have to agree with 95% of the reviews already written on this recording. The despair, sadness and torment are front and center in this collection. You have to be in the right frame of mind to really enjoy the message of darkness and gloom. The track that made me buy the CD was "De Profundis". This delicate flow of misery with the sinking cellos and basses during the minor key change took my musical spirit to another place. It was divine.I really appreciate his Howard's use of low volumes to convey his thoughts. He fully understands that pianissimo (pp) can hit just as hard as a full throttled forte (fff). Although the music and concept deserve a five star rating, the record company really [disappointed] the buyers by only including 29 minutes on the disc. This, sadly, makes this THE SHORTEST soundtrack I own and one of the THE SHORTEST soundtracks on the market. :(

Do You Hear What I Hear?,
By
This review is from: Sixth Sense (Audio CD)
The enormous success of The Sixth Sense helped put composer James Newton Howard on the map. Of course he had been scoring films for quite a long time before the movie's release. But because everthing associated with it seemed to click with audiences, the score got Howard noticed.The haunting theme, with its emphasis on piano and flute, is almost hypnotic. Like the film itself, the score is filled with mystery and tension that matches the film's supernatural qualities. Howard also knows how to break the "sameness" of the score by adding a few surprise jolts along the way as "Suicide Ghosts" demonstrates He also does a good job with "Malcolm's Story/Cole's Secret"- that one cue alone has everthing the score has to offer. The music fits the film perfectly and represents Howard's talent very well... My only real complaint with the soundtrack, is its running time. With 11 tracks and 30:19 playing time, the CD is far too short. I wish there were more. Still, what is there is very well chosen, and a must if you liked the film

This review is from: Sixth Sense (Audio CD)
This is one of the most depressing soundtracks I have ever heard, and for that, the seizing quality of the instruments, the wild passion of the entire album - it makes it not something to listen to when you're feeling depressed. It has drawn me into severe melancholy because of its power. I'm absolutely in awe of it. One of the many things about it, however, is the variety of the songs. There is a distinct and marked change to every song, no matter how subtle, and it sweeps you away like a riptide. Without a doubt, listen to this cd. You will probably cry. See the movie, too. Very well done.
