 Amazing ... September 30, 2007
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
First of all, it's very difficult to properly review this soundtrack without seeing the movie. Each song is performed in a particular context ... very creatively, I might add ... and forming an opinion on just the song itself without having the visual that Julie Taymor put with it is not doing yourself, or the creative work, proper credit.
I just saw the movie tonight and it is brilliant. And each song was amazingly portrayed on film. While "Let It Be" was by far my favorite song (as well as gut wrenching scene), I swear I will never hear "Strawberry Fields Forever" in the same way. These songs really MUST be heard with the visual that Julie brilliantly directed. I cannot stress that enough.
This album is not about paying homage to The Beatles as much as it was to use the Beatles music to tell a story. And trust me, that it has done.
DO NOT BUY THIS CD....GET THE DELUX EDITION September 16, 2007
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Ok so i pre-ordered this b/c i love the beatles and was very excited to get this. Now onto the bad part. The songs are great don't get me wrong...but there are at LEAST 4 missing from this cd in comparison to the DELUX EDITION (available on itunes). For example "Girl" "Dear Prudence" "I want you" and "If i fell" None of those are on this CD, great cd but not the one you want to buy!
I love the movie and the soundtrack September 30, 2007
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
I love this movie, so I love the soundtrack, because when I hear the songs I am transported back to my favorite scenes in the film. I think the singing is very well done and I really enjoy these versions of the songs. Normally, I'd say that I don't like them nearly as much as the original versions. That would be true if this was just a collection of Beatle's songs re-done by various artists. However, when we are talking about songs that tell a story in the movie, I have to say I enjoy the songs a lot more and (dare I say it) almost as much as the originals. I guess my point is that, although you may like this st if you haven't seen the movie, I think you will like it more if you have. However, if you do listen to it before seeing the movie, keep an open mind and please realize that, in some instances, the context in which the song is used warrants a rather different version from what you may be used to hearing. Oh, and I'd definitely recommend getting the deluxe version.
