I am going to be honest besides the main theme the music in this show is not very good and I imagine I am not the only one who thinks this way.
-
I largely agree. I did enjoy a few of the songs, but others not so much. Especially the songs that kept getting repeated. But the main theme at least, and the background score, is pretty good.
-
The background score for me is very meh. My biggest problem with the background music is that it all sounds the same to me. Also when there's a peaceful scene the score is way too dramatic for me. Why couldn't they hire Michael Tavera to do the score for the series?
-
Also the fact that they re-used instrumentals from songs in the movies for most of the songs in this series is very lazy.
-
Can't agree more. Even simple usual background music did always cut my ears in the most of moments. :/
And since I always didn't like songs in LBT movies (as well as in other cartoons - I just don't like unnecessary singings!!!) very much, the fact that there's 2 songs in each single 20-minute episodes... It was almost torture for me.
-
I couldn’t agree more with this. Even as a child, I thought everything but the theme song from the series was so grating. The creators obviously didn’t think the target audience would know any better as long as there was some kind of music involved, but boy were they wrong. My brother and I like to laugh over how the annoying songs from this show don’t even RHYME half the time. ::) I mean, why waste space on lousy singing when a TV episode is already short as it is...Oh, I forgot, filler...Never mind. :p
-
Wait, there are songs in this show other than "I Feel So Happy" and "Adventuring"? :P
-
Reusing songs with different lyrics is a huge problem with the TV series. :facepalm It is basically the easy way out of not having to write new songs. I think there are at least two unique songs in the series that weren't in the movies yet repeated in the series. Like "Remembering" which I remember being sung by Ruby and Grandpa Longneck, and I think it's done well by both singers.
Also the remix of "Beyond the Mysterious Beyond" when the dinos were congratulating Cera for "scaring away" the gators makes for a good congratulatory tune. :cerasmug
-
Universal: “Yeah we can’t think of a good song, just make a conversation a song, maybe everyone won’t notice…”.
But yeah, jokes aside, the music was sorta hot and stinky. Songs are reused like it was very popular, songs are mostly conversations, and the background music feels like your in the dinosaur world, which is fine, but I liked Michael Tavera better.
If this TV series gets a second season, they should probably try and be more creative with the music, because, this is just lazy work! :facepalm

As someone who admires instrumental music, I couldn't help but notice some... off notes. Some of the keys were out of place, as in, it didn't fit well with the situation at times.
It seemed to sound the same for me. At times, the soundtrack would use just one instrument, and play some scratchy note that was just so awful.
I will agree that the first two episodes, they put some effort into their creativity. But when the show progressed, I was disappointed. Like come on bro. :spikenotamused

Same here. Even as a kid I thought the instrumental music was off.
-
Yes and no? I feel the same way about most of the movies, but by VII I remember the music getting more interesting with some unique motifs that made them stand out. But before that, it was largely just rehashes of the original soundtrack.
Still, I would love to give the sequal soundtrack a listen! Haven't been able to find it online!
Edit Okay so somehow I thought that this thread concerned the sequel soundtrack and I'm not exactly sure how that happened. Nvm!
-
The music is cringeworthy, which is in direct contrast to the great songs in LBT II-X.
The only exception for me is Chomper singing the “Its like the Bright Circle shining inside of me.” His voice is so cute and soothing compared to some of grating saurpranos.

Agreed, he is so adorable! There are people in the lbt community that joke around saying that the lbt characters will never grow up. But for Chomper, I truly hope he stays the same age forever, the way he talks is so cute and baby like!
:ChomperRWAAR - I'm not cute!
Literally everyone else- its so cute when he pouts like that!
Okay I'm done. Sorry for getting off topic there. :rhett_smile

You know what I am going to be blunt the music in the TV series honestly sucks.

That’s something I can actually agree with…except for the song Remembering, that was an actually good song, but only when Meghan Strange sings it.

oh my gosh, TRUE.
she is a good actress.

I think Universal should have refrained from using songs for the series. They felt forced and interrupted the flow of episodes.

You have a good point, especially in some sequels to the franchise.
The eleventh movie had a song that was pretty useless, and after it finished, cut to a different scene which explained the situation just like the song, like the song never happened, meaning that song was useless.
Then there was “Hot and Stinky” in the fourteenth movie, and why would we be singing if we are on an important quest to save Bron, this is important! He could be DYING! :GuidoAAAAAHHHHHH
Anyways, seeing as how this franchise became a musical in 1994, I can kinda see why Universal decided to use songs in the series.
Also, sorry if I go off-topic, but Phineas and Ferb did the whole “songs in episodes” thing better.

I will have to agree with you on that note. 'Hot and Stinky ' is probably my least favorite song in the whole franchise.
When I first watched the tv series, I was familiarized with the songs that put in there. They like to recycle the rhythm and try to make it it's own original song by adding different lyrics to it.
And what's worse is that there are two songs in each 25 minute episode. It really hurts sometimes to listen.
Often, when I watch the episodes on youtube, I tend to skip some of the songs entirely

Agreed. It pains me that they chose to force two pointless songs into every episode instead of using the time for something that actually contributed to the story.
