4.0 out of 5 stars Only One Song, May 28, 2002

I bought this primarily becuase I wanted the "Don't Fear the Reaper" song but was a little disappointed that it lacked the other songs from the movie and only contained instrumentals. Becuase the film was shot in New Zealand they used local bands for most of the songwork and then Danny Elfman for the instrumentals. Now I love Danny Elfman, but this was not one of my favorites from him. Unfortunately this one leaves off some really good songs from the movie and I'll just have to live without them or movie to NZ.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Elfman, all right, but not at his peak, January 8, 2000

This is one of those for the die-hard Elfman fans. I'm one, and even then, after my first listening, my reaction was: "That was a lot of noise." It's gotten better...it has to grow on you, I guess. If you're just shopping for some good listening music, keep looking. If you're an Elfman collector, yes, this one is still a worthwhile purchase.

This is an Album that I enjoyed, the theme is just sensational,but I won't lie, you might get a little tired of it but it is still Danny Elfman!All together it is a great album and if your in to the darker side of Danny's music like me this is the music for you and I recommend it!
