**** Pretty decent effort. It's quite different listening to a soundtrack like this because since it's a musical, the album's music pretty much is the entire movie. While I loved the movie, I didn't love certain factors of the singing - I'm not a huge fan of Hugh Jackman or Russell Crowe's voices. But Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne are both absolute stars with amazing voices. Several big songs on here that are great - On My Own, I Dreamed a Dream, Red and Black - that are all performed well so a 4 for me.<br><br>80/120. |
