content: I was quite looking forward to this soundtrack...I loved Klaus Badelt's soundtrack to POTC: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and I was very pleased to hear most of the themes from the first movie reprised in the second.Also, the second movie added some beautiful new themes by Hans Zimmer that I hoped would be developed further in POTC: Dead Man's Chest soundtrack. No such luck. The best of new tracks, The Kraken and Hello Beastie, suffered from too much mechanical repetition and lacked melody development, wasting their heart wrenching impact...My overall impression from this soundtrack was occasional moments of brilliance muddled by long stretches of sub par instrumentals. Dissapointing!
