Free Music Notes for Across The Universe [Deluxe Edition]
Free Music Review: Other Singers Do the Beatles Beautifully
Hit: 5 Stars
I was a teenager when the Beatles came to America and I even saw them perform in Cleveland where the girls in the audience went absolutely nuts (as did the Fire Marshall). My sister was just a little kid and came along too. She became an even bigger Beatles fan than those of us who were teens. Fittingly, she discovered the movie and album first and told me to get them. I am so glad that I did. This is other artists performing some of the most well known Beatles songs. I absolutely love it and have spent many pleasant times listening to it behind the wheel of my convertible, top down, and these tunes playing again and again. I think this shows how very well written these songs were that they work for contemporary artists in another century so very well. I loved the movie and couldn't wait to get my mitts on the album after seeing it. Get this. You won't regret it.Free Music Review: A wonderful compliment to the original songs.
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw this movie and although the movie was predictable, the music was wonderfullly done. I ordered the CD soundtrack before I was finished watching the movie! I LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK! It is a lovely tribute to the original songs, but does not take anything away from the originals. The songs on this CD give me the wonderful feeings that I get from listening to the originals, but they also give me a feeling like I'm listening to something new. I can not say enough about this CD, except that I highly recommend that any Beatle lover give this a listen. I recommend that you give this CD a listen even if you don't like the Beatles! Like I said, it's got that compliment thing going as well as a new feel.
It's got an extra emotion, soul and 'edge' that I really love in music. Even my young children are liking this CD.
Free Music Review: For a new generation of fans
Hit: 5 Stars
This soundtrack is a fantastic, modern interpretation for a new generation of fans. My best friend and I weren't Beatles fans before watching Across the Universe, but we were after. We LOVED the movie and the music - so much so that in addition to this album, I got 2 other Beatles albums. I know alot of old-school fans were displeased by the film, but it really is a tribute to the Beatles that only further enhances their legacy and longevity. I was especially impressed by the performance of Evan Rachel Wood, who I've watched since Once and Again. Who knew she had such a soulful voice, as evidenced on Blackbird? Timothy Mitchum on Let It Be is another standout on an album full of wonderful performances. This is the best soundtrack I've heard in a long time.Free Music Review: Beatles reloaded
Hit: 5 Stars
You may have a tons of critics for the movie, but the Soundtrack is superb.
This edition, much more extensive than the regular edition of the soundtrack, and almost fully covers the whole soundtrack of the movie (just for the omissions of "Why Don't We Do It on the Road?", "I Want You (She's so Heavy)").
The new versions of the old-time favorite Beatles hits, are truly well-worked. The whole cast from the movie, unknown to must of us, have truly great voices and they show here that they can sing. The "famous guest stars" (Bono, Joe Cocker, Secret Machines) also do a great job; making the Beatle song to sound like their own. So, don't fear, believe me, the songs don't sound like a cheesy Broadway musical.
Free Music Review: A Delicious New Take on Classic Beatles Songs
Hit: 5 Stars
Very rarely is a remake of a Beatles song made that is actually worth listening to, and yet this album presents two discs packed with cover versions that are typically just as good, if not sometimes a little better (I know- blasphemy) than the Beatles' version. An amazing gospel version of Let It Be, a fantastic bluesy/soul Come Together, and a solid rocker version of I Am the Walrus featuring Bono come to mind as some of the highlights, but the harmonies and womens' voices in pieces like Because and Dear Prudence truly provide a breath of fresh air to the beloved originals. Pick this album up, give it a listen, and check out the movie for added beauty and a new context for the music... You won't regret it.
