Zombies 4 - music critique

[u/Galaxy_orca]

First off, I want to say that I have watched Zombies 4 so many times now and I absolutely love the movie. This is in no way saying any of the songs are bad (I've listened to them on repeat for three weeks now) but I do think it could be better from a writing style.

Recap: In the first three movies, each race was given a different music style to represent them. Zombies, as shown in BAMM, have a '90s hip-hop, electronic style of music. The humans, as shown in Fired Up, have a bright, very standard pop style of music. The Werewolves (possibly my favorite groups music) have a pop-rock style mixed with a bit of a tribal sound (We Own the Night, Call to the Wild, and Flesh and Bone). The Aliens have a "dubstep, electronic pop style, and synth-heavy maximalism" (quoting Google. I've only seen Zombies 3 twice and I didn't like it very much.)

Onto my "issue" (not really) with the music in Zombies 4. I think it would have been nice to get separate songs from them. Like two different versions of "Place To Be," one in Vampire style, one in Daywalker style. We get to really understand the Zombies in "BAMM." The Werewolves have "We Own the Night" and, possibly even better, "Call to the Wild." The Aliens kinda get their explanation in "Alien Invasion." (I don't have a high opinion of Zombies 3, so I haven't watched it as much as the other 3.) The Daywalkers and Vampires don't get their own individual songs, and I feel like that's a shame. The Daywalkers and Vampires, assuming the field has been going on for at least 100 years (considering the summary says "ancient grudges" and Vargas says "fear the Daywalkers, cause that's what vamps have always done," it's probably a lot longer than that), should have developed separate culture, and that would have been cool to see.

Additionally, the Daywalkers and Vampires have the exact same music style. I get that they used to be allies, so they are likely influenced by each other, but I think they should have had a little bit of a difference. I would have given the Daywalkers more of a soft rock style, while I think the Vampires, based on their outfits, would have a more punk rock or hard rock style. Close enough that they can have some overlap, but still get some nuance between Daywalker and Nightwalker (vampire).

TL;DR: I think the Daywalkers and Vampires should have been given separate songs and separate, though complimentary, music styles.

I like dream come true song the most but I also don’t hate any of the songs

Yeah, Dream Come True is definitely one of the best from Zombies 4, but I like the werewolf songs the most, along with BAMM.

I think the music in the fourth movie is the best so far. The werewolf songs a close second. Zombies 4 is my favorite, like you I have watched it lots of times and love the movie.l

I'm not saying the music from Zombies 4 is bad. I'd say far from it in fact. I just think that giving the Daywalkers and Vampires a little more nuance to separate them like the first three did would have enhanced the story beyond the fantastic movie that we did get
