What episode of the show had your favorite soundtrack?
 

For me it's probably " Return to New York " I really like the song they play when the team is driving down the highway , when they find Splinter , and when they're fighting the Shredder Mutants.

A Chinatown Ghost Story & Return To New York (similar scores in both).

I re watched " The Lonley Mutation of Baxter Stockman " and that episodes sound track was pretty epic, it's one of my favorites.

I wonder if Sebastian Evans II composes new tracks for each episode or if he has a huge catalog of stuff that editors just pull material from.

I don't watch this series, is there at least one new track in each episode? Or has no one noticed?

Not sure about every episode but there's new stuff VERY often, it seems!

Glad to hear that. Evans seems like an all right composer, the more from him the better.

For the 2003 series for the most part it seemed like the composers just had libraries of music that 4Kids had the rights to use.

That's probably why there are like a dozen composers credited for any single episode. :lol: Of course there was new material every now and then, mostly jingles or montage sequences, but overall a lot of the music felt stock-y.

The score of Karai's mutation was fantastic.
I also liked the music in Turtles in Time.
And the fight at the end of Dinosaurs Seen in Sewers! had great music to it.
Also, the score of them fighting Shredder for the first time was great.

But my favorite track of the whole show is that scene from 2x26 when Leo keeps fighting. I just thought that was a really powerful soundtrack.

Agreed. It really set the mood just how desperate the situation was, and how determined the turtles and friends were to see it through and take back their city.

Pretty early on in the series but "New Friend, Old Enemy" I like the theme it plays when the Foot first show up I occasionally hum it even though it is very brief.

EDIT: Tales of the Yokai the scene when the Turtles are rescuing Yoshi from the building I love the music from that scene as well.

I kind of don't notice the background music that much. The tracks don't stand out to me for some reason.

I kind of like the guitar version of Shredder's theme from the end of Rise of the Turtles Part 2. It's an underrated song that should be used more.

Quite a few contenders for myself.

• The mutation of Steranko and Zeck from Serpent Hunt
• Leonardo's struggle in the Invasion
• The orchestrated theme in Vision Quest
• The sad moment themes
• Both the fight with Bradford and Xever as well as Shredder from Gauntlet

I'm quite surprised, but I honestly loved the soundtrack in season 3, one of the few things I liked this season. Overall though, all TMNT themes need to be set on record. ;)
