Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Not only is The Nightmare Before Christmas one of the best musicals of the past two decades; it may well be Danny Elfman's masterpiece, successfully integrating his main influences (from Cab Calloway to Nino Rota) into a fantastic whole. The first disc of this reissue features the original soundtrack, its songs still teetering between dark humor and poetic flights of fancy; this so-called kids' music is at least as sophisticated and skilled as anything you're likely to hear on Broadway. The second disc includes demo versions of four songs on which Elfman plays and sings everything, and five new covers of some of Nightmare's best-loved songs. Marilyn Manson successfully applies his spooky Weimar-circus style on 'This Is Halloween' while Panic! At the Disco's lushly orchestrated take on the same tune is closer to the original. Fiona Apple's poignant 'Sally's Song' is enhanced by very nice string charts, and She Wants Revenge does a disco take on 'Kidnap the Sandy Claws.' Best perhaps is Fall Out Boy's cover of 'What's This?' which sounds like an unexpected cross between the Beach Boys and Queen. A highly recommended set. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous Halloween Music
Highly Recommended! So glad I bought this CD for Halloween. The entire CD is Fabulous. I found myself listening to it over and over again. Two thumbs up


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - All-Time Favorite
This soundtrack's a classic! A must have for any Nightmare Before Christmas/Tim Burton fan; you can probably sing these songs word for word! The additional cd with various versions of the songs is excellent, and I especially enjoy Fiona Apple's version of "Sally's Song". The Danny Elfman demos are amazing, and it's entertaining to hear how they compare with their finished versions. She Wants Revenge's cover of "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" is amazing as well.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful CD
This CD has all the classics and some great remakes. Highly recommended for the upcoming holiday season.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Movie, great soundtrack!
The Nightmare Before Christmas basically defines Halloween, what better way to have Halloween with you always then this CD? Load onto your iPod and it's good to go. The 3D cover art is really cool along with both CD's. The first CD is the original soundtrack and it's pretty much amazing. From The Overture to The End Title all the music is fantastic and clear as crystal. The second CD is remixes and demos. Most of the remixes are really cool. The only two I don't like are Sally's Song by Fiona Apple ... Read More
