Free Music Notes for Once Album
Free Music Review: Lackluster, no triumph in music.
Hit: 1 Stars
I had the misfortune of watching this film in theaters. Drawn in on promises of a thrilling musical score and a story based on a struggling musician's life, I was sorely disappointed.
I will keep my opinion of the actual film separate from this review, as this is just the sound track.
Bottom line is that this musical score, is lacking, especially for a soundtrack of a film so centered around music. The vast majority of the songs take beginners guitar chords and place it against mediocre vocals which often repeat themselves to the point that it becomes apparent that the writers thought up one basic hook and failed to come up with anything more.
Perhaps the sound track truly does not deserve a 1 star rating, but I am putting the rating of this score that low to counter balance other people's overrating reviews.
These songs failed miserably to wow me. The composers seemed scared to venture out of their comfortable zone, creating a uniformly bland album. You would be better off saving your money for this one trick pony soundtrack.
