You see, The Darkest Hour actually confirms why Tyler Bates is already one of the less popular film music composers on the planet. The fact he's getting such cool assignments like this proves that producers and directors are favouring noise above actual artistry. This is a soundtrack that delivers not a single note or moment of actual melody. It's all mood, it's all sound design, it's all gloomy, dark and threatening, alienating so to speak off. Perfect for the effect it tries to create, a nightmare for an experience to hear.
