Free Music Notes for Rent (2005 Movie Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: great soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
I have own this soundtrack pretty much since it came out...
I have never been that big on musicals, but when the movie first came out my friend dragged me to the movies with him to see the movie, and right away I fell in love with it...and for the next week I had the songs stuck in my head, they just wouldn't go away...they haunted me in my sleep, but in a good way...I fall in love with all the music, so i had to get this soundtrack so I would be able to listen to these wonderful songs all the time, especially till the movie came out onto dvd, which i also own and love to death. The songs are so addictive...I am actually listening to the soundtrack as I'm writing this review, I can't pick out one song that is my favorite, I love all of them. If i had to choice "Will I" or "Without You". "Will I" is such a touching song on its own, but when its patterned with the movie it hit me hard, great song, it brings tears to my eyes when i listen it. And the same goes with "Without You" its just a very touching song and it connects with my life. Overall one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.
Free Music Review: First Time a Film has been as Good as the Original Musical
Hit: 5 Stars
I will keep this short, because " M J Heilbron Jr. 'Dr. Mo' " said it perfectly.
I have never seen a movie that has been able to capture everything a musical did.
The actors were perfectly selected for the cast. The voices amazing and the acting flawless. Who knew Taye Diggs could act and sing.
Buy this CD. You will love it every bit as much as you loved the original Broadway CD... if not more.
Free Music Review: The music will captivate you
Hit: 5 Stars
Even though I have the CD, whenever I'm flipping channels and I come across the movie "Rent", no matter how many times I've seen it and regardless of what point the movie is at, it is like I am mesmerized, and I know from experience that I am going nowhere until the movie is over. My husband feels the same way and we've both discussed why this is. The answer is the music. It actually pulls us both along through the movie. Just as one great song ends, another begins, and we can't pull ourselves away until the movie - and thus the music - ends. There actually isn't a tedious, boring, or even mediocre piece in the whole musical. Every song has a style different from all of the others and each is quite powerful. The music is not the meat on the bones in this movie version of the Broadway musical, it is actually the very bones under the meat. My favorite is "I'll Cover You". Remarkably, this song works both as an upbeat love song for Angel and Collins and also as a funeral dirge. It is very amazing that Jonathan Larson, on his first outing, could come up with even one of these amazing songs, much less all of them. It makes me sad not only for the loss of Jonathan Larson the human being, but the loss of such an amazing artist. I highly recommend this CD. I think you'll find yourself hooked on these unique and powerful tunes.Free Music Review: Rent Soundtrack is amazing.

If you have ever seen the movie, this soundtrack re-lives every moment. It is wonderful, and I would recommend it to everybody.Free Music Review: Don't sweat the small stuff
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't understand why there are all these reviews that are arguing about RENT:stage vs. RENT:movie. The fact is that both are good and arguing over the relative merits or each is like deciding which time the PREZ lied about the Iraq war was worse.
Let this work, in all of it's forms, stand as a great and innovative piece of American Theater and a tribute to it's composer.
Besides, the songs are catchy, great, and have emotional depth. I just wish that Junior High Choirs would stop mangling Season's of Love.
