The Ocean Dub had an entirely separate soundtrack, yet it was also well received. People act like the Faulconer track is somehow solely responsible for Z's success in America, yet that's not even true. It completely changes characters and context for most situations to fit a more typical "superhero" feel.Įxcept for the fact that every single other dub in the world did not have the Faulconer soundtrack, yet Dragon Ball Z was still a massive hit world wide. The Falconer stuff feels extremely amateur because of how it's shoved into the whole series.īut honestly, the Falconer soundtrack isn't even the worst part of the dub. I find it to be akin to how Suicide Squad felt like a mishmash of music videos made into an entire movie. It never felt part of the DNA of the series (as someone who grew up with it and loved DB/DBZ, I still did notice the music was awkward a lot of the time). Sure, there's a few moments where it actually works quite well for the scene but even a broken clock is right twice a day. The music is always there, always loud, and it always overpowers every scene its in. You never get that in the Falconer score. Nothing completely overpowers the other, we're given a sense of levity based on what we're hearing or not hearing. The original lets everything come together for scenes the sound effects, the voice acting, and the music. I don't think it adds anything, it's merely distracting and covering for lack of good voice acting.
