Well, OF COURSE IT'S GOOD!!!!, September 1, 2005
A Kid's Review
I got this CD before seeing the movie, and I was sorta disappointed that the majority of the songs weren't even in the movie. But that's not such a bad thing...All of my favorite songs are on this CD...and that's almost all of the tracks
1: You're Not Me (*****) I am so in love with Kaiba...and this song totally matches him...probably the best song on the CD
2: For the People (*) I really don't like the Black Eyed Peas that much...and this song didn't make me like them any better...It's actually kinda boring...
3: One Card Short (**) I'm not too enthusiastic about this song...I've listened to it a few times, but it's not one of my favorites.
4: Step Up (****) Before the movie came out, I listened to the 30-second sample on the Movie website about 1000 times...this was my favorite song on the entire CD...but it got annoying after awhile...so I only listen to this one occasionally...
5: Shadow Games (****) I love this one! It's sorta mysterious and romantic in a really low-key sorta way...I don't really expect you to get that, but if you do....kudos...
6: It's Over (-) I haven't really listened to this one all the way through, so I can't really say anything productive about it...
7: Blind Ambition (***) This song is just so totally Joey!!! I can clearly see a whole Joey montage when I listen to this. It's bouncy and catchy...kinda like Joey (I don't really expect you to get that either)
8: Great Pretender (*****) The lyrics for this song alone are awesome to just sit down and listen to...It's got a nice flowing tune.
9: How Much Longer (****) I like this one cuz it's mostly about Mokuba...and Mokuba rocks! This song is sorta like Blind Ambition...bouncy and catchy...
10: U Better Fear Me (**) I haven't listened to this all the way through, because it kinda gets obnoxious and annoying...the only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it has a cool opening.
11: Power Within (*****) This is one of my newest favorites. The lyrics are cool, and the tune is cool...and it could either go with Yugi and Yami fighting together with the power of their faith and friendship, or it could work as a cute couple song...I guess...
12: Believe In (*****) The other one of my new favorites...This is actually the theme song for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, of course it's edited to be short enough, but I didn't hear this song until I saw the YGOGX theme on yugioh.com...and long story short, I found it on the Movie Soundtrack...I love it!!! And I totally can't wait for GX to premiere whenever it does...
13: Yu-Gi-Oh Theme [Extended Version](****) This is just the two versions of the theme compiled together into one...enough said...
So, happy listening and happy Yu-Gi-Oh...ing!!!

The best Yu-Gi-Oh CD yet!, September 11, 2004
A Kid's Review
I suppose I'll review the whole CD, I've got some time ^^
1.You're Not Me: A great song! It's the perfect Kaiba theme song, and the singer is awesome, and it's a great opener for the CD!
2. For the People: Uggh. Yu-Gi-Oh's fallen into the same trap that Pokemon fell into. Trying to use big names in their CD's. BIG mistake. This song is rap, so it sounds weird next to all the action songs, and it has nothing to do with the series or the movie.
3. One Card Short: AWESOME song. I've loved this song ever since I heard it 2 years ago on the Mcdonald's meal CD's ^^ It's got this old feel that'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy-like.
4.Step Up: Another awesome song (There's too many great songs, I'm running out of words for great) I love the beat and the words, and if you watched the commercials for the movie, this is the song that was played in the background.
5. Shadow Games: The best song on the CD! I love the words, the beat, the sound effects, the meaning, everything! It seems to be a Anubis theme for the movie. Listen to this song first, and you'll be hooked on this CD.
6. It's Over: Unfortunately, I don't like this song either. It almost sounds like rap, and the sound effects hurt my ears ><
7. Blind Ambition: I love this song too ^^ The chorus comes on pretty early, so it gets you hooked, and never gets boring! The beats awesome, and the singer is awesome!
8. The Great Pretender: The chorus is decent, but not as good as Blind Ambition. Still way better than "It's Over" or "For the People"
9. How Much Longer: Decent song again. it seems all the great, OMG songs are at the beginning. Decent chorus, but it gets kind of boring after a while of listening to it.
10. U Better Fear Me: I was kind of downcast at the name, but the chorus is pretty good. The song's pretty good too. Not really great, but decent enough to stand.
11. Power Within: Aah, a better friendship song than some of the friendship songs on "Music to Duel By". Yay! Friendship songs ^^ This one is friendly, without being overly sappy.
12. Believe In: Decent song. I haven't listened to this song too much yet, so I can't really analyze and nitpick it.
13. "Bonus Track": Just a remix of some of the TV show's themes. Very very cool. Yay, evil egyptian psychos running around with evil alter-egos!
Definate MUST have for any Yu-Gi-Oh fan. GET THIS CD NOW.

LOVE IT., October 18, 2004
As a huge YuGiOh fan, I of course had to get the movie soundtrack. While there were two disappointing songs, the others more than make up for them!
1) "You're Not Me". Possibly my favorite on the CD, or one of them, at least. This is the absolute most perfect song for everyone's (least?) favorite CEO, Seto Kaiba. It makes you realize that being rich doesn't mean happiness.
2) "For The People". UGH! I'm not totally sure why this is on here. It's a song I might be inclined to like if I heard it on the radio, but the mere fact that they put it on a YuGiOh CD really annoys me. It's Black-Eyed Peas, which should tell you something. And it has nothing to do with the show/movie.
3) "One Card Short". I've always liked this song. It was supposed to be on the first CD, but was cut for some reason. The appearance of this song on the CD makes me wonder if we're ever going to get a disc release of "Panik Attack", but whatever. This song is really a great one, good lyrics, music, vocals...
4) "Step Up". Song they played on the commercials. I LOVE this song! Whoever does it, they sound just like N*SYNC. And even if you never liked N*SYNC, you gotta admit they had good harmony and sound. This song also has cool lyrics and a nice, catchy beat.
5) "Shadow Games". Another favorite. This seems to be an Anubis song, but I loe it anyway. The woman doing the vocals has a grat voice, that's for sure.
6) "It's Over". Another one I can't STAND. This seems to be some sort of rap, but I'm not entirely sure, as I've only heard it all the way through once. Ever since then, I change it as soon as it comes on. Blech!
7) "Blind Ambition". I don't know why, but this sort of seems like a Joey song to me. "Don't wanna be outdone/I wanna be second to none/I wanna be the hero, not a zero to everyone". All in all, a VERY good song. It's one you can get up and dance to! ^_^
8) "Great Pretender". Really good song, although I don't quite get its connection to YGO.
9) "How Much Longer". Yeah. 'Nother one I don't see the connection with, but it makes a bit more sense than "Great PRetender".
10) "U Better Fear Me". The title's a bit of a turn-off at first, but it could be worse. It could be "U betr ph34r meh" or something XP. Anyway, this is another Anubis song. Why he gets two songs when his appearance in the movie was only, like 15 minutes, I have no clue. This one's not as good as "Shadow Games". Doesn't even come close. But on the other hand, it's WAY, WAY better than "For the People" and "It's Over".
11) "Power Within". Pretty good song. Friendship song. Not mushy or sappy, but still okay. Not as good as "Believe In", or the ever-famous "We'll Be There" From 'Music to Duel By,' but it's cute. Only thing that bothered me was "The power within can make the Pyramid of Light shine forever". Uh, hello? Bad thing! Consistancy error. =/
12) "Believe In". Another one of my faves. I like this song as much as I like "We'll Be There". It's cool. The woman singing the second verse sounds a little like Megan Hollingshead, but it's not. Good. That'd be scary. But this is a really good song. Much more upbeat than WBT, and less sappy. I love it.
13) This one's a re-mix of the theme. Or something. Whatever.
