4.0 out of 5 stars
Disney's best movie, one of their best albums, July 29, 1999
By A Customer
This is a GREAT CD. I went through a phase where I listened to it several times a day. I think I'm qualified to review it. First, the instrumentals are AWESOME. My favorite piece is "This Land," but all of them are good. If only they'd included ALL the score, not just a few pieces! "Pocahontas" did this right. Second, the vocal songs were generally OK, but varied wildly in quality. I would have gladly given up all of them for more score, but since that isn't an option, I'll review them as they came. "Circle of Life" is the best vocal on the CD. I think "Be Prepared" and "Hakuna Matata"-- yes, "Hakuna Matata"--stink. The other songs are so-so, until Elton John gets to them at the end. Then they're lousy. But the score more than redeems the album. All in all, a good, if checkered release.
