Music : Nightmare Revisited |

Rating: - * Dream Come True ... I had to have this album after hearing the Marilyn Manson cover of "This is Halloween". After hearing Amy Lee's version of "Sally's Song" though, the two above mentioned songs are tied for my personal favorites on the album. ALL the songs are simply amazing, and this album is a definite dream come true when it comes to excellent names covering excellent songs. Rating: - * Interesting Album... but not that great... ... This is one interesting album, but the majority of it I disliked. Like many other reviewers (okay, maybe some) I felt most artists performing on this missed by a long shot. The only pieces I felt worthy were Amy Lee's rendition of the tragic ballad, "Sally's Song" and the instreementals. Most of the songs in the film had a weird, but singable edge to them. This album's a hit-and-miss. Rating: - * Timely update on a beloved favorite ... "The Nightmare Before Christmas" came out when I was ten years old, and both the movie and the soundtrack were pretty much on constant repeat until I was twelve in my house. The music was winsome and creepy at the same time, and never seemed as much a "traditional" Disney musical as a goth-punk rock opera. Fifteen years later, the music is still every bit as enchanting to me, and a number of bands that I LOVE seem to feel the same way. DeVotchKa, Shiny Toy Guns, the Polyphonic Spree, Rodrigo y Gabriela and many other talented artists provide energetic updates to the lyrics and score. Standouts are Marilyn Manson's twisted take on "This Is Halloween" and Flyleaf's breathy rendition of "What's This?". Danny Elfman's "Closing" is a charming epilogue to the story. In a world where Jack and Sally are stamped on tubes of lip gloss, throw pillows, shot glasses, and thongs in Hot Topics and Spencers the world over, it's easy to feel like "Nightmare" has lost most of its cultural relevance. "Nightmare Revisited" proves that this is not the case, and I can't wait to see what musical treats we might get in five or ten more years. Rating: - * A must have! ... Such a great album! I don't normally buy things like this but Sally's Song by Amy Lee was worth everything I paid for the album and more! All songs keep the integrity of the original in perspective as none seriously stray too far from the movie version. Take a listen, you might just have yourself wanting a copy. Rating: - * Great album! ... I absolutely love this movie! The music to it is great(obviously, it's Danny Elfman, people!) and the covers of the songs are just as good. I only disliked a few song, but the ones that really made this album worth it were Korn's version of "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" and Amy Lee's version of "Sally's Song". Both are great songs that really capture the emotion and the tone of the songs. I recommend this album to anyone who loved the movie! |
