Music reviews of Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture
Music Review: Another soundtrack review ... it's worthy!
Rating: 5 Stars
There are reviewers grumping about this soundtrack.
I'm NOT so grumpy about it.
Between the choice of iTunes downloads of just the songs I want vs. the cost of the CD, the entire CD wins in this case.
I give it 2 thumbs up - it's worthy of driving with the windows down!
PS ~ CD players are PROGRAMMABLE (and so are MP3 players) so you can keep the fast songs with the other fast songs, and the slow ones with the other slow ones. The soundtrack follows the order of the music in the movie. That is certainly NOTHING to complain about! (And no reason to give a good song 4 out of 5 just because it is upbeat and comes after a slow song!)
Description of Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture
Like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, Shrek is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humor that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, there is some genuine emotion coming from this movie; Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and especially the Eels all pen winsome, longing tunes. Dana Glover's "It Is You (I Have Loved)" represents the soundtrack's requisite glossy ballad, but it's better than most, and John Powell's climactic, orchestral "True Love's First Kiss" makes one wish there was a full score to accompany this soundtrack. On the flip side, Smash Mouth cover the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" with a groovy treatment of crunchy hip-hop beats, and Leslie Carter (sister of Aaron and Nick) gives a perky performance on the Britney-esque "Like Wow!" The soundtrack squeezes the last drops of juice from the overplayed Smash Mouth hit "All Star," but other than that, it strikes a great balance between cute-but-not-precious pop hits, and more grown-up songs that are well within reach of young ears. --Beth MassaGeneral CDs
