close to perfection - By: Jakob Haugen-kossmann, 21 Jan 2008 
The score for the film The Nightmare before Christmas is brilliantin its own strange way. Both the music & the lyrics are written by Danny Elfman, & he also sings the main character of jack Skellington.
The songs are delightful & variated, & you discover something newin the arrangement, every time you listen to them. Besides, the instrumental tracks are beautiful & melancholy, a nice contrast to the humourous & often lively songs. If you like the film or are just a little bit interestedin music, you should definetly buy this CD. It has so many great tunes, & the orchestration is just perfect. Allin all, a soundtrack quite out of the ordinary.
Magical - By: Alexander J. Machell, 29 Nov 2006 I completely agree with the other reviewer. You shouldn't dismiss The Nightmare Before Christmas as being just a Disney film for kids. The music is so full of depth & charm that even the coldest of reviewers surely couldn't fault it.
While there are some clear standout tracks (Sally's Song, What's This, This is Halloween, Kidnap the Sandy Claws & Oogie-Boogie's song spring to mind), each track is full of the same magical energy & vibrancy that only Danny Elfman can achieve.
Truly wonderful. I bought the DVD first, & found myself humming to the tracks, wishing I had the soundtrack so I could listen to it on my mp3 player.
Superb. - By: M. Beckwith, 16 Sep 2006 Once again, Danny Elfman has done it again. He is just the best composer by far for musical films. A listen to this will prove my point. It's so, so good.
