Free Music Notes for Across The Universe [Deluxe Edition]Free Music Review: Beautiful movie. Beautiful music! Hit: 5 StarsI love this movie and I love this music! All the cast members did a great job in the movie and on the soundtrack!
Free Music Review: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE Hit: 5 StarsThis a wonderful romp through a more peace filled time remembered. The music is wonderful. It's the Beatles. What more needs to be said. And the movie is so cute and sweet. In the struggles of every day life now, this movie brings back the gentleness and the victory our generation grew up on and the fact that "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE." It reminds us that if we can only pull together, we can accomplish anything. Afterall, we stopped a war and brought our people home. We could do it again if we united ourselves like we did back then.
Free Music Review: Amazing renditions! Hit: 5 StarsThe singers and musicians really made the music theirs, but still kept with ideas The Beatles would do. There were a few songs I didn't like ("Hold Me Tight", "I Want to Hold Your Hand", and "It Won't Be Long") but everything else I adored. It was interesting to hear some soulful renditions of the songs. I was surprised and found that I liked one song better than The Beatles' original! Joe Anderson absolutely nailed "Happiness is a Warm Gun" - yes, he even topped The Beatles, and that is not something I say lightly. All around it was excellent! I highly recommend it!
Free Music Review: Surpassing talents Hit: 5 StarsI've been a Beatles fan for over 35 years. Though it seems almost sacrilegious to say so, some of these re-recordings are better than the originals.
Free Music Review: Oh Brother Where Art Thou? Hit: 2 StarsI've heard a lot of Beatles covers throughout my life, dear friends. For the record, I am not among those who claim the only good Beatles songs are the one performed by the Beatles themselves. Many artists have delivered the goods when covering the mighty Beatles. It is a daunting task, to say the least.
This soundtrack has some real poopy versions, no doubt because some of them are sung by the original cast. Evan Rachel Wood is the unholiest of offenders. I liked hearing a cover of "Hold Me Tight", an early Beatles song that is rarely performed by others. But I think she positively made mince meat of the others she sang - especially "If I Fell".
In fact, dear followers, the presence of the titan Joe Cocker (himself responsible for arguably the only Beatles cover to actually out-do the original: "With a Little Help From My Friends") on a moody, atmospheric "Come Together" save this from the lowliest of all ratings. Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em, like it or lump it.
That phoney crusader Bono manages to strangle two Beatles' classics. Go back to U2, I say! And I'm sure most of you (well, those with a modicum of intelligence) will agree.
