Music reviews of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
Music Review: Jasmine's Choice
Rating: 4 Stars
The varied styles of the artists on this album lend an even more creative air to Danny Elfman's unique music. There are two different remakes of the songs to The Nightmare Before Christmas, this one providing a more alternative Rock flavor to the songs, while the Nightmare Before Christmas Revisited provides a more alternate Metal feel to the works. Not all the songs are better than the originals, and Elfman's own voice provides a better version of Jack's songs than the remakes, and is included along with some of the other original artists. Only a few songs are remade, so don't expect a completely different album. For that you need the Revisited album.
Description of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
Not only is The Nightmare Before Christmas one of the best musicals of the past two decades; it may well be Danny Elfman's masterpiece, successfully integrating his main influences (from Cab Calloway to Nino Rota) into a fantastic whole. The first disc of this reissue features the original soundtrack, its songs still teetering between dark humor and poetic flights of fancy; this so-called kids' music is at least as sophisticated and skilled as anything you're likely to hear on Broadway. The second disc includes demo versions of four songs on which Elfman plays and sings everything, and five new covers of some of Nightmare's best-loved songs. Marilyn Manson successfully applies his spooky Weimar-circus style on "This Is Halloween" while Panic! At the Disco's lushly orchestrated take on the same tune is closer to the original. Fiona Apple's poignant "Sally's Song" is enhanced by very nice string charts, and She Wants Revenge does a disco take on "Kidnap the Sandy Claws." Best perhaps is Fall Out Boy's cover of "What's This?" which sounds like an unexpected cross between the Beach Boys and Queen. A highly recommended set. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
