5.0 out of 5 stars Good Elfman Soundtrack, July 21, 2008

By	Roberto Alves ""Omnia mutantur, nos et mu... (Funchal, Madeira - PORTUGAL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When we talk about music and reviews and such - we are doing nothing more than giving our opinions. And those are relative.
Personally, I think this was a great score, and the only track I really didn't care about was "The Little Things".
The CD contains the soundtrack of the "Wanted" movie, mostly orchestral songs, some of them I clearly remember from the movie. They are a nice mix of orchestra, electronics and chorus, adequate to the action of the movie.
Another great work by Danny Elfman, and essential for all of us, Elfman Fans. Don't be misguided by all the negative reviews here. This is a nice, solid orchestral work - memorable and fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars **WARNING!! Soundtrack fans!**, December 10, 2008

By	Crazy "Cat" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews

*** This is NOT a VARIOUS ARTISTS SOUNDTRACK from the awesome movie!
It is the ACTUAL MOVIE SCORE (instrumental background music of the movie) by Danny Elfman. Includes his new song "The Little Things" as the 1st track but this is the ONLY song on the CD! ***

An actual soundtrack version CD should exist, the end credits of the movie list all of the songs and it says "soundtrack available" but I'm still looking to find it.

[Note to GAMERS: The bonus disc version of the Wanted DVD has hidden player mode codes to the upcoming Wanted game which comes out in March '09.]

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun !!!, July 3, 2008

By	Martin Lauzier (Rimouski, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is NOT a Bad Score The Only negative point : A lot of Cues that we heard in the movie are missing on the Album...

BUT, this is not a Boring Elfman score.

A lot of Good tracks : Success Montage, Fox Story, Fraternity Suite, Breaking the Code and Fate

''The Little Things'' song by Elfman is enjoyable !!!


Welcome back Danny !!!
