A review for the cd, not the movie!! October 16, 2008
12 out of 15 found this review helpful

This is a review for those of you that have already seen the movie and are now looking at buying the Nightmare Revisited soundtrack compilation.

The cd case itself was enough for me to buy this amazing cd. Although it is a cardboard case it is still very nice, It doesn't look like someone cut it out of a cereal box and slapped pictures on it like some cds do. Ahem. The case has lovely drawn pictures of some of the different characters including Sally on the inside and Jack on the front cover..
The pictures are surrounded by slightly raised pinkish purple designs, all cutely spooky and definitely done in the flavor of the movie. And to tie it all together it has shiny black webbing in the background. Whoever designed the cover art definitely had a taste for the theme of the compilation.

The cd itself has a wide variety of sounds. This cd sports an impressive rang of artists, from the ones you'd first think of to do do a cd like this.. to ones you maybe wouldn't. An example would be Marilyn Manson, who does the same song he had from the original soundtrack Special cd, a very impressive version of 'This is Halloween' to Rodrigo y Gabriela's version of 'Oogie Boogie's Song' with a very enjoyable Latin twist.
Also featured are the well known artists Korn, All American Rejects, Plain White T's, Rjd2, and perhaps my favorite, Amy Lee who does a wonderful version of 'Sally's Song'. Danny Elfman also does some voice work in the opening and closing.

Interesting tidbit: There are some very obvious typos in the artists' names.. GARBRIELA instead of Gabriela?? Poor girl. Don't know if its like that on every cd but on mine there definitely was!!

Adding new sounds to a classic soundtrack, this cd is a must have for Nightmare lovers everywhere. All in all this cd is a great buy, definitely worth the money.

Totally different October 14, 2008

First off, I want to point out that this is another colossal failure of Amazon in matching review with product, since none of the previous reviews here actually seem to be about the Nightmare Revisited soundtrack, but just he movie.

Most of the songs (in this album) are just rock covers of the ones from the movie. While I applaud Disney for trying out an idea like this, few of the new recordings can match the witty voices and unique instrumentation from the original soundtrack. You may like this album, but I urge you before you buy it to listen to all the track previews (for instance, on the Walt Disney Records web site).

Nightmare Revisited - Ok, but not 'awesome' October 25, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I was more disappointed in this newer soundtrack than the previous one which had 2 discs(the new songs on the 2nd disc). Many of the bands failed to capture the feeling of the original songs, and ended up ruining these classics.

DeVotchKa - Overture: I'm not even sure what they tried to do with this one..Sounds more like this was being played at a Mexican party.

Danny Elfman - Opening: This is more true to the classic opening, even though it's not the same narrator as the movie, and he says more than the original narrator.

Marilyn Manson - This Is Halloween: Manson actually did a pretty good job in his version of this piece.

The All-American Rejects - Jack's Lament: I like this band, but they did a terrible job on this song

Amiina - Doctor Finkelstein/In the Forest: This piece is just odd..It's not that bad, though. It's somewhat eerie. Reminds me of Edward Scissorhands a bit.

Flyleaf - What's This?: They slaughtered this song. It has no feeling similar to the original.

The Polyphonic Spree - Town Meeting Song: Reminds me of Rob Dougan when the man sings(he doesn't really fit the feeling of the song), but it is interesting when the girls sing.

The Vitamin String Quartet - Jack and Sally Montage: This was actually a nice piece to listen to.

Sparklehorse - Jack's Obsession: This one shouldn't be in the soundtrack at all..There's almost no talent or any real feeling in it at all.

Korn - Kidnap the Sandy Claws: This was an interesting piece to listen to, not too bad

Rise Against - Making Christmas: This song was pretty cool - it has a nice beat and most of the vocals are nice.

Yoshida Brothers - Nabbed: I'm not sure why this is in the soundtrack. It doesn't sound like anything that I've heard from the movie before.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Oogie Boogie's Song: Another Mexican-style piece.

Amy Lee - Sally's Song: Lee's good at singing anything that has a sad/slow rhythm. It's a good piece for the soundtrack, enjoyable to listen to.

Montage Rjd2 - Christmas Eve: Another strange piece..Reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

Plain White T's - Poor Jack: Not too bad. At certain parts this one is really good.

Datarock - To the Rescue: Another strange piece..Some parts are almost like 70's music.

Shiny Toy Guns - Finale/Reprise: Very creepy at the beginning, but pretty cool overall.

Danny Elfman - Closing: Not part of the movie, but interesting to listen to.

The Album Leaf - End Title: True to the original, enjoyable to listen to.

Have a strong sense most "reviewers" didn't know what they were reviewing October 16, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful

For all the, how to put this? Non-clever folks, let's say--who reviewed the movie, all the nice things you said about the movie are very justified. It is a wonderful movie. This, however, is a soundtrack, with the music from the movie covered by the likes of Marylin Manson and Korn. As such, the efforts are a little unever, but the overall effect is pretty cool--the total is greater than the sum and all that. The music comes in a wider variety of styles and interprations that vary from fairly close to "I never would have thought of that." It makes for a singularly LISTENABLE soundtrack, something that can be played as music in its own right (which is far from true of many soundtracks). The effect might wear thin over time, but over the few days I've owned this CD, I've played it several times and am always finding something new to come back to. A fine creative effort. And that extends to the packaging art which is truly extraordinary, with embossing and bold artwork.

I love the way this sounds. They took the originals and made them even better. If you are a NBC fan, then you will really love this album.
