great series but the music is just as terrible.. irrelevant times, irrelevant music. there is a high speed car chase on the screen and the piece of music they have selected is "song 2" by blur, which is more of a positive song, but the car chase is not that positive, and moreover bad guys succeed to get away.
i haven't been able to check who has been dealing with all these music, but if i'm not mistaken, jj abrams has made the title music and this may indicate us that he has been dealing with the other pieces of music too..
and "song 2" isn't the only example. there are many many examples, almost on every episode. if this had been something worst, i mean alias, i could accept that but it's a huge success and you have to find suitable and relevant music wherever necessary. you can't just put a piece of music jut because it's slow or fast.
i began watching the series a couple of months ago, i mean at the beginning of the 2006 summer. first i thought: "the times are changing and in this 5 years, both my taste of music and the choices for the series have changed" but after thinking further, i saw that it didn't have to do with the time. the songs don't change in means of their mood, they may get old, but they will still have the same mood and certain things will go on being the same, i mean, love is sweet, car chase is thrilling, a new baby is lovely, death is painful, fights are breathtaking, war is cold.
and i remember "lost", it didn't have this kind of irrelevant music.. i guess jj abrams had its lesson with "alias" and made a better work with "lost".
