I like Murray Gold. I feel like everyone likes Murray Gold.
But part of me was disappointed when it was announced he was returning to DW. I thought Segun Akinola’s work during the Chibnall era added a unique…otherworldliness to the score. It was incredibly atmospheric (perhaps at the expense of seeming “musical”), and there are times I miss that.
That’s a fair comment - I have thought the same thing, though perhaps in a more positive way. It’s almost like playing Metal Gear Solid or something.
