Mermaids- Running at 8 minutes, this is easily the longest cue on the album. The track opens with a fast paced pulse before expanding into a spanish variation on 'He's A Pirate'. The Pirate Who Should Not Be- Another interesting track title, this is one of RyG's medlies. Interesting only for the latin sound implemented in. Aside from that, the track is mostly a reusal of the track 'Swords Crossed', in Curse of the Black Pearl. Unfortunately not wholly memorable as some of the previous themes written by Zimmer (and also sounds a little bit too much like Barbossa's theme from the first film). Mutiny- This is where Blackbeard's theme is introduced. Definitely an interesting choice for a Zimmer score in this area. The music is mostly compromised of latin flavored themes with a waltz backdrop and some bass thumps. Rodrigo and Gabriela really show their playing skills off in this fun track.

It's short, but fun.Īngelica- Here's where the real treat begins. Guilty of Being Innocent of Being Jack Sparrow- Confusing title aside, this brief track is a compilation of all the various Jack Sparrow motifs and themes pushed into one. The album itself has also been prematurely criticized for the amount of remixes tacked onto the end. Interestingly enough, the latest release actually feels alot more different than the previous scores (I haven't seen the film yet so I have no great basis for comparison) with the help of the spanish guitars and the X-Ray Dog feel.


Coming on board this time are Spanish guitarist duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and composer Eric Whitacre. Even moreso with the release of Hans Zimmer and Co.'s latest contribution to the franchise. With the release of Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides looming on the horizon, anticipation has been very high.
