Free Music Notes for Across the Universe
Free Music Review: Wonderfully fun music.
Hit: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this Soundtrack very much. The only not so good part was that it leaves out some of the good songs from the movie, but I guess sacrifices have to be made to fit it all on one disk and there were no not good songs in the movie.Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
This was just a taste of the totally wonderful movie. I loved the movie and the music so much I had to have more of it. The only problem I have is that there are so many more songs in the movie that I wish were also on this CD.Free Music Review: Across the Universe

I thought I liked it, but it wasn't as good as I thought it was.Free Music Review: Buy the Deluxe version, not this
Hit: 1 Stars
Interscope Records has released three variations of soundtrack albums from the film - a standard edition and two deluxe editions. The standard edition contains 16 tracks from the film soundtrack. The first version of the deluxe edition features 31 tracks - all of the vocal performances and one of the three instrumental tracks. This 31-track version is available solely at the Best Buy retail chain and in a digital version via iTunes. A second version of the deluxe edition is available at other retail outlets. The second version differs from the 31-track version in that it omits two tracks: "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?". The total time for these two missing tracks is 5 minutes.
If you can get the 31-track version without a lot of hassle, then do so, even though the singer of the 2 songs, Dana Fuchs, isn't considered a particularly good singer or actor and the two missing songs aren't highlights. I see no point in buying the 16-song single CD version when for $2 more you get more than 54 minutes of extra music.
The 29-track version is excellent and worth the money. Virtually every song is done in a manner very different from the original by the Beatles and yet it is very enjoyable and tasteful. Great, innovative cover versions, an amazing feat.
A final comment. Interscope Records is to be distained for releasing 2 different Deluxe versions and causing both buyers and sellers a lot of needless decision making problems. Obviously Best Buys made some marketing arrangement with Interscope Records but it won't generate enough extra cash to compensate for all of the bad PR and angst that this will generate.
Free Music Review: Get the deluxe version instead
Hit: 4 Stars
The deluxe version has about twice as many songs for much less than double the price. Unfortunately, it was released later than this standard version so I essentially have the wrong version.
