Fury

This is very good soundtrack, when listening to it, you can visualize the film in your mind, especially when the Fury is jousting with the German Tiger tank, WOW!

This is one of those soundtracks that falls into the category of "not the expected soundtrack for the movie". I've noticed lately that some composers are moving away from the "expected" music score and experimenting with alternative instrumentation. Movie soundtrack enthusiasts have probably experienced Viking movies with techno music and Medieval epics with heavy metal guitars screeching. This avant garde approach has certainly had some successes and a few disasters in my opinion. When you think of WWII movies you can't help but to expect the sounds of grand sweeping overtures, military drum work, and basically something similar to every other WWII soundtrack you've ever heard. Well apparently Steven Price has said enough of that, we've heard that before...let's give them a "War is Hell" soundtrack. This soundtrack is hard hitting, thunderous, loud, dark, and evil. Sounds like I'm describing an Iron Maiden album! The soundtrack is indeed a step in a new direction for a film such as this and I commend and admire the artistic choices he has made for the movie. I haven't seen this movie yet but if you let the music tell the story...then this must be one tough war movie. Older WWII movie soundtracks tend to make war sound like a grand adventure...this one takes a handful of mud and slings it in your face.The score starts with a track called "April 1945". You can hear the sounds of tank treads rolling and men marching. Track one is a war machine accompanied by a chorus of voices that will give you the chills. Many of the tracks contain various choral arrangements that add to the ambience of war, fear, and sadness. A few times it reminds me of a satanic ritual that will scare the crap out you. It is a scary score indeed and at times you might think your listening to the score for the latest horror flick. The music does a great job of giving us emotional trauma through instrumentation. As I am listening to the music, I am trying to picture what it must of been like riding around in one of those Sherman Tanks knowing that one well placed shot from the more powerful German ones would of been the end. This score is definitely the scary part of war. It musically inserts the listener into battle letting you feel the sheer terror of combat. It also gave me a profound amount of respect for those who do this! There are a total of 19 tracks here and each one becomes a well crafted experience. When I preordered this CD, I was expecting something totally different from what I got and I must say that I am happy with the unexpected. It is a great score and I recommend it highly. My favorite tracks are the first one...just because it was such a shock to listen to for the first time and track 15, "Crossroads", because it sounds like the climax of the movie. There is also a really cool effect where the music sounds like something explodes. Is it the Fury tank? Maybe a German tank? I don't know...but this is definitely the climax music.The physical CD is released by Varese Sarabande and comes with a booklet that has about five photos from the movie. Nothing extra added here as far as liner notes. Sarabande has always been a little stingy when it comes to releasing extra content but I do appreciate the fact that this company still makes movie score CDs for us. The score clocks in at 1 hour and 7 minutes. Steven Price has done a great job with this one and I am excited to check the movie out and see exactly how this score fits in. I love the old war movie soundtracks and that is what I thought I was getting...but this has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Pick this one up!

Easy to visulize scenes from the film while listening to this gripping soundtrack!

Although I have never experienced the reality of war when I listen to this music I can see almost any and every war movie I have ever seen. For me it captures the grinding tenacity that fighting a war requires along with all the emotions that come with it: sadness of loss, horror of the pain and suffering that follows in the wake of battle, surviving when those beside you weren't as lucky, finding the strength to endure no matter the cost, bonds forged in battle that can never be broken, and sacrifice to move forward to victory. I feel that this music was made to honor all the men and women who have ever died fighting along with those that survived to see the aftermath and I hope that I could endure what they did if I ever have to.

Actually, I was expecting old fashion orchestral score but Its amazing, on first track "April 1945" you can hear bass guitar and electric guitar, , there are 19 tracks and my fav is "Tiger Battle" IMO this score was the best in the movie and matches perfect with the scene, album is generally emotional to reflecting the sorrow and misery but some scores sound like from Omen which makes you scared to think about horror of war.

I have listened to this soundtrack for hours on end. This music was perfect for the movie. Each song on the album was perfect for the part of the movie it represented. I watched the movie several times. This album captured the drama of the reality that faced those men. Fantastic.

This is a very cool movie about World War II and the soundtrack is gripping, eerie and sounds very much like the battlefield you would face if you were at the Battle of the Bulge in my opinion. Love the song Tiger Tank and others. I will listen to this while I am doing other things on the internet and it is very inspiring to me since I am a World War II amateur historian buff. Sieg Heil!

When we think of WWII music, we think of the sweeping scores (Saving Private Ryan, Between Heaven and Hell, Windtalkers, Thin Red Line). Yet this soundtrack delivers a far darker and grimmer version of music for a dark and grim war. Price gives us a score that has a martial air that seems to fit war and the harshness of it far better than the operatic compositions of many other composers.

It's a DVD of the film, as was expected. What can I say. It's a reasonable film and it works...

ブラッド・ピット主演『フューリー』のサントラ。スコアのみ19曲。作曲は『ゼロ・グラビティ』のスティーヴン・プライス！不安をあおる感じは『ゼロ・グラビティ』に似ています。１曲目の冒頭、よ〜く耳を澄ますと「戦車」の音が「スコア」として組み込まれていることに気づくはずです。ほかにも「鉄板を叩く音」などが音楽として編成されています。小太鼓を叩いて勇ましくマーチングする第二次大戦映画とは一線を画します。主人公たちが体験する地獄、そして心の旅路。美しい音楽ですが、高揚的ではありませんし、ロマンチックでもありません。暗雲としていて、物悲しい。しかし美しい旋律。戦車バトルの印象が強い、戦闘場面に手に汗握る映画ですが、サントラは印象が異なります。ドラマチックでエモーショナル。一聴の価値があります。『フューリー』という映画の内容に沿った、またしても完成度の高いサントラだと思います。

緊張感が漂います。トラック11のタイガーバトル!劇中のシーンが頭の中で、蘇ります。アメリカ軍の誇る主力戦車、M4A3E8シャーマン戦車と、ドイツ軍の誇る主力戦車である、タイガーⅠ戦車との対決シーンで使われたBGMです。聴くだけで興奮しました。何度も繰り返し聴いております。ブラッド・ピットさん、カッコ良かった。M4戦車もカッコ良かった。けれど、戦争のない平和が一番だなぁ。戦争は、好きな人を失ってしまう事もある。戦争というものはどういう物なのかを考えさせられた映画でしたので。

アカデミー作曲賞を受賞したスティーブン・プライス渾身のアルバム輸入盤の場合、価格の上下にかなり差があるようなのでタイミングを見計らって購入すると良いかもしれません。私の場合は、アマゾンでの購入で送料込みで1､666円でした。まだ映画は公開前ですが…作曲がゼロ・グラビティでアカデミー音楽賞を受賞したスティーブン・プライスであることと作品への期待感から購入しました。ジャケットはフルカラー6Pのスクリーンショット、ケースはシースルーで5人が搭乗したフューリー号の全面からのショットです。本作の音楽には映画音楽にありがちな「メインテーマ」となるような強く主張する旋律が見当たりません。プライスの映画音楽に対する姿勢は知りませんが、自らの旋律を強烈に主張するのではなく、あくまでも映画を引き立てる背景サウンドとして曲を書いているように感じます。映画を観ていないのであくまでも予想ですが、プライスの音楽は迫力ある効果音のように映像の迫力を引き出すのかもしれません。効果音として捉えた時、本アルバムは出来れば高品質なプレーヤーやヘッドフォンを使用されることをお薦めします。物凄い迫力を体験できます。映画のイメージとして旋律を聴くのではなく、迫力を音体験するといった感じです。エンニオ・モリコーネは映画に音楽の代わりに自然音を利用する試みをしていますが、スティーブン・プライスも何かの信念を持って作曲をしているように感じます。
