Music reviews of Ghostbusters II
Music Review: "We are the busters of any G-H-O-S-T"
Rating: 3 Stars
Like the film itself, the song score of "Ghostbusters II" was not quite up to the standard of the original film. Nonetheless, this is a fun CD. Whereas every track on the "Ghostbusters" soundtrack is heard in the film (even if only for two seconds), the "Ghostbusters II" CD showcases some songs composed for the film but omitted from the final cut. Most amazing is that director Ivan Reitman had the chutzpah to commission a song from the great Elton John -- the rollicking "Love is a Cannibal" -- and not use it in his movie!
Also unlike the first soundtrack album, "Ghostbusters II" features no excerpts from the incidental music score, instead focusing entirely on songs. While Randy Edelman's score is enjoyable, it is far inferior to Elmer Bernstein's for the first film, so its absence from the CD feels like no great loss.
While my favorite song in the film was "Spirit" (which features the best of the soundtrack's three separate retellings of the film's storyline in rap), my favorite song on the album is "Flip City", which is heard to much better advantage than in the film. Ironically, its lyrics can be interpreted as a (clearly coincidental) comment on the Egon-Janine-Louis triangle suggested by this movie.
