 A review for the cd, not the movie!! October 16, 2008
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is a review for those of you that have already seen the movie and are now looking at buying the Nightmare Revisited soundtrack compilation.
The cd case itself was enough for me to buy this amazing cd. Although it is a cardboard case it is still very nice, It doesn't look like someone cut it out of a cereal box and slapped pictures on it like some cds do. Ahem. The case has lovely drawn pictures of some of the different characters including Sally on the inside and Jack on the front cover..
The pictures are surrounded by slightly raised pinkish purple designs, all cutely spooky and definitely done in the flavor of the movie. And to tie it all together it has shiny black webbing in the background. Whoever designed the cover art definitely had a taste for the theme of the compilation.
The cd itself has a wide variety of sounds. This cd sports an impressive rang of artists, from the ones you'd first think of to do do a cd like this.. to ones you maybe wouldn't. An example would be Marilyn Manson, who does the same song he had from the original soundtrack Special cd, a very impressive version of 'This is Halloween' to Rodrigo y Gabriela's version of 'Oogie Boogie's Song' with a very enjoyable Latin twist.
Also featured are the well known artists Korn, All American Rejects, Plain White T's, Rjd2, and perhaps my favorite, Amy Lee who does a wonderful version of 'Sally's Song'. Danny Elfman also does some voice work in the opening and closing.
Interesting tidbit: There are some very obvious typos in the artists' names.. GARBRIELA instead of Gabriela?? Poor girl. Don't know if its like that on every cd but on mine there definitely was!!
Adding new sounds to a classic soundtrack, this cd is a must have for Nightmare lovers everywhere. All in all this cd is a great buy, definitely worth the money.
Timely update on a beloved favorite November 16, 2008

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" came out when I was ten years old, and both the movie and the soundtrack were pretty much on constant repeat until I was twelve in my house. The music was winsome and creepy at the same time, and never seemed as much a "traditional" Disney musical as a goth-punk rock opera.
Fifteen years later, the music is still every bit as enchanting to me, and a number of bands that I LOVE seem to feel the same way. DeVotchKa, Shiny Toy Guns, the Polyphonic Spree, Rodrigo y Gabriela and many other talented artists provide energetic updates to the lyrics and score. Standouts are Marilyn Manson's twisted take on "This Is Halloween" and Flyleaf's breathy rendition of "What's This?". Danny Elfman's "Closing" is a charming epilogue to the story.
In a world where Jack and Sally are stamped on tubes of lip gloss, throw pillows, shot glasses, and thongs in Hot Topics and Spencers the world over, it's easy to feel like "Nightmare" has lost most of its cultural relevance. "Nightmare Revisited" proves that this is not the case, and I can't wait to see what musical treats we might get in five or ten more years.
Great except for one thing October 1, 2008
I loved this cover album except for one small thing. I wish the Oogie Boogie Song wasn't just an instrumental. That's one of my favorites. The instrumental is nice but it's lacking something without the vocals. If you're a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas you should definitey get this though.
A new take on a classic October 24, 2008
Kid friendly album? Well that depends on the age and tastes of your child. This version of the movie soundtrack is VERY different! So many different styles of music are represented here. There are many instrumental tracks, and the ones that are sung use today's artists such as Amy Lee, Korn, and yes, Marilyn Manson -now whatever else you think of that guy, I have to say he pulls off his song just PERFECTLY!. The whole idea of the movie was to portray something just a bit, er, dark (for lack of a better word), and I believe this version of the soundtrack really gets to that aspect. My own kids *love* the song performed by Korn. I like them all. The mix is diverse enough that it makes you come back to it again and again.
Grab this CD :-) October 31, 2008
This is a wicked CD, great songs by great artists, especially Amy Lee!
The CD cover is sooo kewl. I recommend this CD to everyone, whether your a fan of the movie or the music or the artists, its awsome on every level.
