Music reviews of The Music of John Williams: 40 Years of Film Music

Music Review: Awful. There is nothing else better to describe it.
Rating: 1 Stars

I was really anticipating this album. But after listening to the first CD (or trying to listen), it's just plain awful. I won't even attempt to listen to the rest of the set because it will make my speakers cry.

Half the instruments are out of tune and the brass is all over the place. The strings are out of sync, and the music is void of emotion. This would sound OK if you were in a drunken stupor. Don't get me wrong. It would be alright if the set cost $10 and you were using it as background fodder (like what most Christmas music usually is). But $40 for this trash? Come on. I wasn't expecting the world as I knew these weren't original recordings, but the orchestra sounds like they just arrived off the slow boat from Antarctica.

I guess I will give it away as a freebie to someone else who is deaf in one ear and doesn't know what a real instrument sounds like.

You're better off grabbing 4 $10 Williams albums than this insult to a great American composer.
