3.0 out of 5 stars Worth Buying If You Like Aerosmith, Otherwise..., November 19, 1998

Okay, so "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" is, without a doubt, one of Aerosmith's best songs ever. The new track "What Kind Of Love Are You On" is also very good. As are the Aerosmith classic "Sweet Emotion" and their cover of The Beatles' "Come Together". In other words, this CD is well worth buying if you like Aerosmith (which I do). However, not all of the songs on the soundtrack are that great. The remainder of the tracks are various songs by 70s and 80s artists; some songs were originally released years ago, a few were written just for this soundtrack. Although these songs definately added to the scenes in the film, they just seem unoriginal on the soundtrack. Furthermore, I don't even remember all of the songs on the soundtrack appearing in the film. Chantel Kreviazuk performs a fine cover of "Leaving On A Jet Plane", but did this song really need to be re-recorded? And "Animal Crackers" will make you sick to your stomach. It's bed enough that we have to listen to that stupid dialogue in the film the first time. What's missing from this CD is the majority of the music score. Armageddon had a great score, but we only get a 3 & 1/2 minute sample on this soundtrack. (I realize that the score has now been released, more or less in its entirity, on a seperate CD, but this was very recently.) Overall, if you like Aerosmith, definately buy this CD. Otherwise, listen at your own risk.

4.0 out of 5 stars One song CAN carry a CD, December 19, 1999

Personally I didn't really like most of the other songs on this CD. But if you're going to buy it just to get "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", I'd say it's worth it. This is one hell of a rock ballad, if there ever was one, and no matter how many times I listen to it I don't get sick of it. It's Steven Tyler at his finest (the music video rocks too).
