4 out of 5 stars Elfman at his best, plus Belefonte!   October 27, 2008
Great compositions by one of the best in the business, Danny Elfman when he was fresh out of his band "Oingo Boingo." All the interesting and dark twists and turns you'd expect from Elfman. Included are also two great Harry Belefonte tracks, "Jump in the Line" and "Day-Oh" (the banana boat song)that fit well with the rest of the CD. Recommended!


4 out of 5 stars Good choice if you liked the movie   October 1, 2008
I really liked this cd -- I actually hadn't seen the movie in a LONG time and listened to the cd first and it paints such a vivid picture that I could easily recall many of the scenes in the movie that corresponded to the music. And take away the fact that its a soundtrack and the songs are still really great.


4 out of 5 stars Classical Messed Up Childhood Memories   March 3, 2008
As a child we all have a movie that we will watch over and over and over until the tape or dvd is just worn down so much you can no longer watch it. I did thaqt with only 3 movies as a kid, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice. When I bought this album, I originally bought it just for the songs by Harry Belafonte, but the more and more I listen to this album, the more I begin to listen to the expertise of conductor Danny Elfman. While listening, you can't help but replay the movie in your head. This album is just one of many great compositions by the genius Danny Elfman. This is an album for those who love the movie, who love Danny Elfman, and/or people who have had some kind of crazy messed up childhood memories like my own.


5 out of 5 stars A demented soundtrack... your point?   November 25, 2007
After seeing Pee Wee's Big Adventure, I came to the conclusion that I enjoy music as much as the movie. Seeing Michael Keaton as `Beetlejuice'
was quite a surprise and the music by Danny Elfman... set the mood for the weirdness only Tim Burton could think of. Could have used an accordian but hey, it's Danny's work. Go Danny.



5 out of 5 stars very different   July 7, 2006

i love to working with this soundtrack in the back ground.
the music is fun, whimsical, and out of the ordinary.
i like pop and rock, but sometimes you just need good music without the lame lyrics.
