If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably had the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy 3 mixtape on a loop for a week now. Beastie Boys? Heaven. ꦛThe Flaming Lips? Br💖illiant. Florence and the Machine? Perfection.

While G𓃲uardians of the Galaxy 3 viewers are quick to heap praise on what some are calling the "best soundtrack ever", many are in agreement that it’s missing one key ingredient: composer Tyler Bates and his iconic main Guardians theme.

. Another , "Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3 might have the best soundtrack I've ever heard. Earth, Wind, & Fire, Beastie Boys, Heart, AND opening with Radiohead. Non stop heat!"

Everywhere you look, there’s praise. "Every Guardians movie has the best soundtrack and best song placements throughout," one . Another viewer gave special mention to the noughties needle drop during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy 3 ending, that, musically, it’s "truly one of the best choi𓆉ce﷽s that has ever been made."

But, still, plenty lament the loss o▨f Bates – who didn’t return to composer duty – and the underutilization of the G🥀uardians theme.

"💮I love Volume 3 to death but i really do at least once or twice more in the film," one wrote.

"[Wish] the Bates theme really got a moment to shine in Guardians 3 like the Giacchino theme did [in 澳洲幸🦋运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Strange in the Mul꧅tiverse of Madness],"

One Guardians 3 fa♛n , "As much as I loved every other part of the movie, it does suck that my one fear about Guardians 3 – that the main theme by Tyler Bates would get lost or underused – completely came true" while anot🌳her the theme was "sorely missed."
