close to perfection January 21, 2008
The score for the film The Nightmare before Christmas is brilliant in its own strange way. Both the music and the lyrics are written by Danny Elfman, and he also sings the main character of jack Skellington.
The songs are delightful and variated, and you discover something new in the arrangement, every time you listen to them. Besides, the instrumental tracks are beautiful and melancholy, a nice contrast to the humourous and often lively songs. If you like the film or are just a little bit interested in music, you should definetly buy this CD. It has so many great tunes, and the orchestration is just perfect. All in all, a soundtrack quite out of the ordinary.

I completely agree with the other reviewer. You shouldn't dismiss The Nightmare Before Christmas as being just a Disney film for kids. The music is so full of depth and charm that even the coldest of reviewers surely couldn't fault it.
While there are some clear standout tracks (Sally's Song, What's This, This is Halloween, Kidnap the Sandy Claws and Oogie-Boogie's song spring to mind), each track is full of the same magical energy and vibrancy that only Danny Elfman can achieve.
Truly wonderful. I bought the DVD first, and found myself humming to the tracks, wishing I had the soundtrack so I could listen to it on my mp3 player.
Superb. September 16, 2006

Once again, Danny Elfman has done it again. He is just the best composer by far for musical films. A listen to this will prove my point. It's so, so good.
