Am I the only one that liked the Phillip Glass score?

The score isn't bad, it's just too much and it kind of clashes with sound quality of the dialogue. I started watching the movie today with the score on but I turned it off half way through because it was getting on my nerves. It seems like the composer was trying to fill almost every second with music as though it were a silent film. In sound movies the musical score needs to kind of pipe down at some point so as not to distract from the dialogue.

I really like it, but it's too loud on the DVD. Maybe they changed it on the Blu-Ray Disc release.

The score itself isn't bad, it's just that it's too loud and overpowering. It's like the movie was re-released just to advertise the new music. It should've blended in with the film more so it wouldn't feel so gimmicky.

An older thread, but my sentiment...like others have already stated, I agree...the score is not bad, in fact I was originally looking so forward to it. There's just too much of it; it's way to busy and to me very distracting. I watched the film with it once, and that's enough.

I didn't like the original Dracula all that much when I watched it the first time. But when I got it on DVD with the Phillip Glass score as a gift, I watched it and I loved it. It breathed new life into what I had always thought to be a lifeless movie.

Glass added the missing ingredient to a movie that was only a couple of years removed from the silent film era. This is probably why the movie works better with the epic score--the director and all of the particulars involved in it's production were still used to making silent movies.

I bought Dracula years ago, I was shocked! The music took away more from the film then what might have been added. What's wrong with leaving it as it was originally made?

And they added a cheesy sound effect for the wolves howling. No, not a fan of the new score.

I told you a million times not to talk to me when I'm doing my lashes!
