Review
A disappointing album if you are not interested in songs or an African sounding choir. A plain score album would be desirable, since the orchestral sections of the disc are certainly good. Zimmer received an Oscar for them, although he composed even much better music than this on other occasions. The few orchestral tracks are interrupted by annoying vocals time and again, and they are very short.
