Still a good listen, but sad to know that spark he had during the last quarter of the 20th century is no longer there.

Eh, I'd give his scores for TINTIN and especially WAR HORSE a listen before I write him off completely. He's still got gas in the tank; I think it's more (in both cases) them taking a score because it was expected of them, not because they felt particularly energized by the material.
