I saw a few good reviews of it as well, so perhaps not all is lost. When I read that last bit you quoted, I wondered whether the author had seen the third film...
Evidently OST is also "darker" than the second and third. I don't know how that could be; the two films were (I thought) pretty "dark," they just handled it in a light-hearted way.

As I think I said before upthread the lack of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan has me excited.
I own all three but I must say the first one is the one I really rewatch semi-regularly. It's in the rotation with my IJ films, V for Vendetta, Die Hard, Predator and Goonies for films I default to.
I'm hoping this movie is more inline with Pearl than the last two movies.

From what I hear, it's just as good as the first, if not better...depends on which adventure you prefer. So far I have heard 8 VERY Positive Reviews, and only 1 semi-negative...even though the negative wasn't too bad, it just wasn't the reviewers favorite genre of film

The first film got a lot of negative reviews(at RottenTomatoes, it has a 78% which isn't terrible, but you'll find a lot of "Top Critics" who hated it) so I'm not worried.

Full soundtrack to listen to...

I must say, after listening to the soundtrack here and there, its defintly equal to Zimmer's work on the previous films. Bringing in Rodrigo y Gabriela also gives the score a fresh sound to it.

Not usually a fan of remixes, but these are actually quite good.
As for the rest of the soundtrack, standout tracks for me include:
Palm Tree Escape
The Pirate That Should Not Be
Guilty of Being Innocent of Being Jack Sparrow
| Angry And Dead Again (I'm interested to see what that title suggests in the final film) |
| Mutiny |
And of course the End Credits (never a disappointment).
Like I said, bringing in Rodrigo y Gabriela was a smart move. The score keeps all the familiar elements we've come to associate w/ POTC, and yet gives us something new to listen to.
Thinking back on it, Hans Zimmer is perhaps the greatest film composer working today (I would say John Williams, but he hasn't really done much, except KOTCS, since the SW prequels wrapped). Think about it: The Lion King, Prince of Egypt, Gladiator, Sherlock Holmes, Inception Batman Begins/The Dark Knight, and of course POTC... Hans Zimmer really has changed the sound of the film score, particularly when it comes to summer fare.
And for those of you who only want a taste of the soundtrack:

By major character, I meant Jack or Barbossa, forgetting Blackbeard. After four films, I guess I'm not sure I'd call he of the hemp beard a "major" character yet.
Contrary to what I expected, the more I hear about this film, the more I want to see it.

| Yes, so killing Jack or Barbossa again would seem a little lame, wouldn't you agree? How many lives do pirates have, after all? My bet is that it's the mermaid or Blackbeard who's angry and dead again. |
