| | Nightmare Before Christmas: Special Edition Soundtrack CD (3 Customer Reviews)
With its gleefully morbid and mischievous songs, the soundtrack to THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is just as adored as Tim Burton's 1993 stop-motion animated classic itself. While the movie deftly blends the Rankin-Bass holiday aesthetic with Hammer-style horror, Danny Elfman's expertly follows suit, his score meshing seamlessly with the fantastical tale of Jack Skellington and company on ghoulishly festive tunes such as "This Is Halloween" and "Making Christmas." The album includes vocals by actors such as Paul Reubens (a.k.a. Pee-Wee Herman), Catherine O'Hara, and Patrick Stewart, with Elfman singing a number of character parts himself, most notably Jack. For devoted fans of the film, particularly goth-inclined listeners, this collection is essential.
Original Soundtrack/Danny Elfman: Danny Elfman, Ken Page, Catherine O'Hara.
The 2006 re-release of the soundtrack to Tim Burton's THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS features a bonus disc containing both cover tunes by alternative acts and a set of composer Danny Elfman's demos. Goth performer Marilyn Manson contributes a tense, bristling version of "This Is Halloween," and pop singer Fiona Apple offers up a beautifully wistful rendition of "Sally's Song," leaving room for tracks by popular emo-rock bands and Elfman's entertaining extras.
Additional Tracks; Deluxe Edition

 Stick with originals.
THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS has become a classic along with Peanuts Christmas, Santa's Coming To Town, and Rudolf, and it makes holiday memories vivid in those of us who were fans of the movie from its debut. This disc is the audio refresher of the entire movie and excellent! The extra disc, however, is, generally speaking, a waste as the tracks beyond the original composers' presentation have no bearing on the movie, or the memories, and are thus superfluous and obvious efforts to cash-in on the popularity of the movie. Elfman's material is great, however ... he's one of the movie business' best score writers of this generation. The original soundtrack disc would have been absolutely sufficient, with the nifty new case cover in 3-D!

The Nightmare is back
The music from the movie is still amazing, even 13 years after its release. I like the demos and three of the covers, especially Marilyn Manson's. Even two of the covers weren't impressive, the soundtrack is still great.

Nightmare Before Christmas: Special Edition Soundtrack

Possessing metal pipes like few before him, leonine Steelheart yelper Michael Matijevic scarred the airwaves forever when he hammered the simply unmatchable chorus of the hairball "I'll Never Let You Go": ludicrous and sublime, akin to Whitney Houston hitting the hot spot in "I Will Always Love You." The opening strands of "Everybody Loves Eileen" bring Ratt out of the cellar before the cut curls into a pop n' fresh roller coaster ride. The remainders on this ridiculous dish are also overlong ...

Nightmare Before Christmas: Special Edition Soundtrack
$9.69
Loudness was a Japanese hard rock quartet that had numerous hit albums in the 80's and early 90's. Thunder In The East reached number 74 on the Billboard charts in 1985. Wounded Bird. 2003.
With 1985's Thunder in the East, Loudness were faced with the daunting challenge of conquering heavy metal fans outside their homeland of Japan for the first time. Knowing that their early sound might prove a tad too heavy and complex for American audiences, the foursome rose to the occasion by dispensing their most melodic compositions ever. Yet, except for a few obvious examples, like "We Could Be Together," first single "Crazy Nights," and the power ballad "Never Change Your Mind," the band doesn't seem at all self-conscious about this transition. A few all-out headbangers ...
