		But on February 24th of this year, Debney's most crucial piece hit streets on the eve of the release of one of the most impacting films to ever grace the silver screen.
		I'm sure when Debney took on this project, he never imagined he'd be in for the spiritual battle of his life, working on his toughest film yet.
		Debney uses a wide range of tones musically throughout the soundtrack from somber and sorrowful to emotionally-fueled bursts from the orchestra.

		Thus we have this rare promo, which can be found at a few specialty outlets for the outrageous price of about $30, which, when considering its short 25 minute running time, seems even more expensive (over a dollar per minute!).
		Debney forms an instrumental version of his "Skipping" theme here, for swing jazz ensemble.
		In short, only die-hard Debney fans will want to spend the astronomical amount of money to get this, and, while the score is pleasant enough, it won't appeal to general film score fans, especially those who despise jazz and swing music.

	The Passion of The Christ by John Debney \| Cinemusic.net Soundtrack Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Debney says that he was given a great gift as an artist to be allowed to put music to such a powerful film and the score became very personal for him.
		Debney composed a score for full choir and solo vocalists that stands up to the choral elements of the powerhouse scores of last year, Matrix Revolutions and The Return of the King.
		I hope that Debney uses this project to move out of the comedy genre and step into the public conciousness, because he truly is one of the best film composers working in the industry today.

	VARESE SARABANDE SUPERMAN RECORDING REVIEWS
		Debney and his crew were faced with the difficult task of almost reworking the entire score -- it was not simply a question of remastering the old recordings or easily duplicating a few pre-arranged pieces.
		This magnificent John Williams composition was conducted by John Debney and performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
		Debney did not have access to the film for guidance, but surely he could have simply rented the WB home video, played it on a hi-fi VCR the night before the recording, and noted the original tempos accordingly.

	5/5/04: Dominus Debney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		To take Debney seriously, one has to believe first in the existence of spiritual powers, the real and individual person of the Christian devil as a fallen angel, and the ability of such a being to interact with the human race.
		According to Catholic demonology, that Debney -- or any of us, for that matter -- should face such demonic persecution is a virtual given; that Debney should be able to perceive it is a matter of his personal faith and religious training.
		Likewise, whether you share Debney's beliefs or not, his willingness to talk about his faith as it directly relates to his work is both brave and a valuable insight into the creative process of a talented artist.

	The Replacements by John Debney (Quick-Click Review)
		While Debney's skills as a composer can hardly be doubted with scores like Cutthroat Island to his credit, it is difficult to reconcile works such as The Replacements with his obvious abilities.
		Given the plot and environment of The Replacements, composer John Debney had a daunting task ahead of him.
		Fittingly, his score for this film maintains the cheesy appeal of the film and there is little to no reason for one to bother with this release.

	The Replacements - John Debney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		I've not actually heard of Font 48 who perform in many of the tracks composed by Debney, but they are an enjoyable soft (softer during their songs than instrumentals as far as I can tell) rock group who also perform a couple of their own songs.
		While unusual for John Debney, the score isn't terribly surprising given the genre (American Football) of the film; a rock sensibility prevails during the action, with plinky plunky moments for the quieter scenes.
		With this and End of Days, John Debney seems to be adding an interesting pop sensibility and element of collaboration to his music.

	The Passion of the Christ (John Debney) - scorereviews.com soundtrack review
		Debney is probably one of the most typecasted composers working in Hollywood today, scoring mostly lightweight comedies like Bruce Almighty and Cats & Dogs.
		Compared to Jeff Danna's The Gospel of John, another recent score for a film about Jesus, John Debney's score is a lot darker and much more dramatic.
		Debney also uses ethnic instruments throughout the score, which at times creates a sound similar to Hans Zimmer's Gladiator score.

	Movie Music UK - Cutthroat Island — John Debney
		John Debney is arguably the only member of Cutthroat Island’s cast and crew whose career was not tarnished through their association with it.
		Despite the excellence of the music which comes before if, Debney truly saved the best for last, and while it may sound like hyperbole, I would almost go as far as saying that this cue is one of my favourite tracks of all time.
		Nevertheless, this one tiny criticism notwithstanding, Cutthroat Islands remains a spectacular effort from John Debney which every self respecting film music fan should add to his or her collection, be it the shorter original release or the new Prometheus version.

	Movie Music UK — Sin City — Robert Rodriguez/John Debney/Graeme Revell
		To this end, Rodriguez hired John Debney (who he worked with previously on Spy Kids) and Graeme Revell (who he worked with previously on From Dusk Till Dawn), and asked them to score the Dwight and Marv stories respectively, while Rodriguez himself would score the Hartigan story, and provide the film’s overarching main themes.
		Debney, on the other hand, was to try to emulate the great film noir scores of the past, and specifically Bernard Herrmann, and as a result made use of a full symphony orchestra with solo parts for a moody, smouldering trumpet.
		Debney’s music, by comparison, embraces the classic orchestral noir stylistics, notably featuring a lonely trumpet solo as a recurring leitmotif for Clive Owen’s unlikely saviour of the city’s hookers.

		Debney is my most favorite composer nowadays, and I am just wondering if anyone else thinks he is still underrated even after his immensely successful Passion of the Christ.
		Debney has yet float my boat, Cutthroat Island has it's moments but I've yet to be blown away.
		Some of John Debney's scores are great fun (CATS AND DOGS is a damn fine listen on disc, for example), but they don't bear any composer imprint (to me, at least).

		I have no statistics to hand, but I would lay real money on bet that the average grosses for John Debney scored films are higher than that of the average grosses for Jerry Goldsmith scored films.
		It would be unfair to suggest that Debney is anything less than an accomplished composer, at least technically, but here again displays a total inability to stand out from the crowd.
		Yes it is written by a skilled composer, Debney undoubtedly knows what buttons to press and when, but it's frankly all a little bit incidental sounding.
