Gladiator Soundtrack

The Gladiator OST is commonly touted as one of the best, epic soundtracks of the modern(ish) era. Despite providing a certain atmosphere - of extreme proportions- to the movie itself, this as a stand-alone album, doesn't stand up to what one would want to hear. The majority of the 'uplifting' songs drag on for longer than necessary (with that being said, none of these clock in at over 7 minutes). Yet the repetitive nature of these tracks, inhibits the absorption, and overall enjoyment of them. Many of the songs with vocals sound like something you'd want to hear in the background of an extremely noisy and crowded arena - a wish that is not granted in this soundtrack. Despite all this, the tracks which are calmer, and more ambient revolved are a much needed break in this somewhat enjoyable, yet overrated soundtrack.
