He's popular but you also have the trendy, contrarian contingent that gives him a hard time and dismisses his music as crap with the annoying BRRRRAAAM joke, and slap the old "wall of sound" description on him, when he's actually probably the best regularly working film composer when it comes to writing a good tune, the same thing that those critics usually lament the "death" of.

I agree that recently he has been very disappointing in the past few years. Interstellar was the first time he's gone out of is comfort zone and done something great and memorable in a while, but I doubt it's a sign that he's going to continue being different. It's likely the last really great thing we will hear from him in a while. He been doing wayy to many generic blockbusters.
does anyone else really like his rain man score
No, the Rain Man score is well and truly awful. It may have passed as Oscar-worthy back then but it is hideously dated now. I used to like the pan-flute before I watched Rain Man.

Saving Silverman is awesome.
