I don't think soundtracks have gone downhill, if you watch enough new movies, you'll discover some gems. But you have to make the effort first. So many talented composers active by the way; Alexandre Desplat, Alan Silvestri, Bear Mccreary, Thomas Newman, Benjamin Wallfish, ...

I watch a lot of films. Sometimes two to three a week. And that's not counting what I watch at home. I haven't heard very many that's been great. Mind you I'm speaking of soundtracks mostly (as those are pretty much dead). But I speak of scores as well to some extent. As most scores I've found aren't released in stores/on CD. OR vinyl even. I only do CD and vinyl so for me, if it ain't physical it's not official. And even the ones that have been released have not been all that great. But then, I'm not the biggest score person.
