A Sturm und Drang epic that seems spawned from the feverish imagination of the collective Dungeons & Dragons unconsciousness, it's pure cheese but an undeniably fun, engaging listen. Goldsmith's muscular melodies and bombastic arrangements perfectly complement the onscreen action, conveying the danger and violence of author Robert E. Howard's barbarian world in broad, slashing strokes. This is music possessing neither complexity nor subtlety, but taken solely on its own terms it's a vividly visceral success.
