>>12865802I absolutely despise the overblown synthetic horns you'd find on most WWE theme songs, and one of the worst offenders is Lashley's. Those horrible tubas legitimately push people away from the shows, it's aesthetically disgusting and makes your presentation seem even more childish than the much derided PG Era. It doesn't help that most of the songs share the same sonic palette, therefore making it harder to differentiate between each wrestler.
>>12866081 brings up a great point. For example, check out this shit

I don't know why they aren't hiring bandcamp bands and artists to freshen up their catalogue. Do a compilation album or something. These in-house producers have gotten them nowhere so far, and have only shown the greatness of Jim Johnston. That dude was a world class versatile talent. His absence marks the dwindling attention to art direction in the business.
