A Call to Arms Music

[AmyG]

This thread is a vicious attack on Evan Chen. You may say you don't like the music, but saying the music is the worst is not the sort of thing an amateur ought to do.

Speaking as someone who's been a professional on both the performing and administrative ends of the music business, I can tell you that plenty of people who shouldn't be commenting on - and making decisions about - music...do just that. That's life in a commercial market, and there ain't nothing you can do about it but get used to it.

I didn't much care for Chen's music myself, but I don't loathe it the way some here do (although it took numerous listenings for me to feel that way about it).

Yep. I hated it when it came out, because it wasn't what I expected. Now, I consider it one of the best things about ACtA/Crusade. It did exactly what it was supposed to do: set a completely different atmosphere. With CF music, ACtA/Crusade would have seemed "B5 done wrong." With EC music, it is clearly "something different in the B5 universe."

If you want to be a music critic, go earn a degree in music. Otherwise stick to things you understand.

Incredulous.

Whoa, Michael!

Nobody attacked Evan Chen, all they said is that they didn't like the music for ACtA. One doesn't need a degree in music to have likes and dislikes and since there's a choice of only two B5 music composers.... Well, three, I guess but Stuart Copeland's score for 'The Gathering' was pretty forgetable IMO.

I came to like the Chen music and, like the Crusade series, I'd've liked to see how it would have developed. As it is, I *love* the opening sequence for Crusade.

Allllllllll right. And what is this?

It's a model of a hydrogen atom.

And this would not be to scale, right?
