Tweens aren't often heralded for their good judgment and excellent taste (Heelys--hello), but if any young starlet can redeem them, it's Hannah Montana. On this, the second soundtrack from the Disney Channel series, Miley Cyrus takes her cues from her TV alter ego, who has an alter ego of her own: Disc 1 features Miley as Hannah, hair-tossing pop princess by weekend, likable schoolgirl by weekday (see "Old Blue Jeans" and "True Friends" to get a sense of each episode's un-cloying sweetness). But disc 2 is the start of something new, as her friends over on the High School Musical set might say: Miley sings strictly as her spunky, truth-telling self. This yields a number of pepped-up pop tracks bound to vibrate through the walls of pink bedrooms everywhere--"See You Again" is a boy-centric song instantly relatable to anyone who's ever been in seventh grade and suffered a bout of bashfulness, "East Northumberland High" puts a punk spin on an I'm-just-not-into-you tale, and "Clear" bounces on a reggae beat while canceling any doubt about our heroine's ability to stand up for herself. Like Hannah before her, Miley makes the best of both worlds--this well-worth-it set, by turns rockin' and reflective, is a masterful example. --Tammy La Gorce

4 out of 5 stars A Very Good Second Album .......2007-07-10

Miley/Hannah produce some catchy songs on this great follow-up to the first album. In many ways this two-disc set is better than the first Hannah Montana album (there is no filler from other groups or singers) and there are many age-appropriate songs that adults will find themselves singing along to. They have included so many songs that not every song is a winner (some of the slow ones are boring) and songs that Miley wrote show that she is still learning how to songwrite. She also oversings a couple tunes. But overall this is very good, well produced and recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Far Better than it has the Right to Be.......2007-07-06

Everyone above who is complaining that "this isn't real music" and that it is only a marketing ploy are people who haven't actually listened to the CD. The first disc (the "Hannah") side is completely how it is described. Just a boring collection of Disneyesque pop made to advertise a TV show. But somewhere along the way, someone let the album get good. The "Miley" disc is far, far better than it has any right to be. If it wasn't packaged with "Hannah Montana" it would be getting the rave reviews that follow fellow popsters Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani and Robyn, because it is just as good, if not better, then them all. Unfortunately too many people like to go on and on about the end of the music business and want to keep their street cred, so they fail to actually listen to music. Pop Music isn't a bad word, and this certainly isn't bad pop music. Hopefully Pitchforkmedia, long the perveyors of too-cool-for-you indie rock, but also champions of slick-as-hell pop music will catch wind and help out the cause.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2007-07-06

2. Good and broken
3. Start all over
4. Old blue jeans
5. Rockstar

2 out of 5 stars Not for little kids.......2007-07-06

This album is too rocky for smaller kids under 10. I have this album along with the first hannah montana album. and kids at my house will only be allowed to listen to the first one. There are 3 songs from the show that are on this album that are ok, but that is all. then Miley has the song called "I miss you" and it's ok..

For any kids here at my house, i prefer mellow music until they are 11 or 12. the smaller kids under 10 or so will not be listening to this album.

Even those allergic to musicals may be won over by Once, a tender-hearted Irish romance with songs by Czech Republic-born Markéta Irglová and Frames frontman Glen Hansard. (The film's director, John Carney, actually used to play bass in the group.) The trick here is that Irglová and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglová feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Björk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglová and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Seasontogether, so their collaboration here feels really organic--they sound particularly good together on the title track, for instance. Now that's the kind of magic you want from musicals. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova Are Spectacular.......2007-07-07

After seeing the movie Once and being haunted by its beautiful, lyrical music, I had to buy the CD. The songs are simple, yet powerful, with folk and ballad undercurrents. Once is my favorite CD purchase of the year. Thank you Glen and Marketa for listenng to your muses!

5 out of 5 stars Soundtrack for a great movie.......2007-07-07

See the movie - it's one of the best movies about musicians and music as romance. Once you've seen the movie, you'll want the soundtrack!

5 out of 5 stars Best Irish Singer.......2007-07-05

This artist is excellent. Also can't wait till the movie comes out on dvd so I can purchase it.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic music from the most original film of the year!.......2007-07-04

Let me start out by saying that the whole singer/sonwriter genre does not usually appeal to me. That being said, I found myself blown away by this film and its integral soundtrack. Having never heard the Frames (or even seen The Commitments, for that matter) this is my first exposure to Hansard's work. The music features outstanding emotional delivery and execution with lyrical content that is both poignant and catchy. Irglova's voice is unique and hauntingly beautiful. The track "If You Want Me" where she provides the lead vocals was the highlight of the album for me. Even if you don't like singer/songwriter stuff, you may enjoy this one - i did.

4 out of 5 stars Movie musicals take a clever and fresh Celtic turn........2007-07-04

You'll appreciate this CD even more if you see the movie. The sweet without being sappy love story told in the movie comes through and reverberates beautifully in these artfully rendered music and lyrics.

The music for this third chapter in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is a traditional, efficient action score that, due to the film's setting, occasionally incorporates light Asian touches. The popularity of Hans "Long John" Zimmer (all the credits in the CD's liner notes include pirate-themed nicknames, like the roll call in a Simpsons Halloween episode) isn't in doubt--he sure is one in-demand composer--but afficionados are divided about his artistic worth, and this score isn't about to reconcile them. Some think that Zimmer relies too much on his stable of composers and sticks to tried-and-true recipes; others admire his capacity to weave themes in and out of cues, creating a whole made of subtly interrelated parts. At World's End feeds both camps: Seven of his collaborators are credited with writing "additional music," and the album feels by-the-numbers at times; but those inclined to listen very closely will be rewarded by the way Zimmer sneaks in bits of two main melodies (especially variations on the first track, a pirate theme titled "Hoist the Colours" and cowritten by director Gore Verbinski) throughout. The use of electronics is so light as to be almost undetectable, which will please fans of a more organic orchestral sound. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars Beyond words.......2007-07-09

I can't even explain how I feel about the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks, especially the third disc. I can't imagine how someone can be so talented to be able to connect you to the story through this music, I just really can't understand. "At Wit's End" is definitely a masterpiece, however every single song on this disc, along with all the others are absolutely outstanding. I love soundtracks, but I am aware of Hans's talent, and knowing he was one of the composers of these tracks I knew it would be a win win situation, and I knew I was not to be disappointed. I have never caught myself listening to a soundtrack..over and over.....and over again. Literally, I even watch the movies over and over so that I can listen to the soundtracks on it. Amazing stuff, just like I said, BEYOND WORDS!!

4 out of 5 stars Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.......2007-07-07

The 1st Pirates cd is my all time favorite, however I really enjoy this cd also. I've put all three cd's on MP3 and listen to them when I need a lift in spirits.

4 out of 5 stars The best of the three?.......2007-07-03

I love this CD, in my opinion it is the best of the three movies and it certainly benefits from the full orchestral treatment.

I have no knowledge of musical theory but very much enjoy the way that the differing themes appear throughout the soundtrack and how, when they are played on varying instruments and to changed tempos, they present such different feelings. It is also fun to be able to recognise themes that have appeared in the soundtracks for the first and second movies.

If you are a fan of movie soundtracks I would definitely recommend Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Zimmer!.......2007-07-03

Once again Hans Zimmer proves that he is good at his job. He has the talent to make the music both sad and enjoyable at the same, and all the songs have their own amazing sound. If you liked POTC score 1 and 2, you will definetly love this album! And Zimmer fans, like myself, will not be disappointed!

5 out of 5 stars Zimmer's greatest work to date!.......2007-06-30

I must say that the score may actually be better than the movie itself! Not to bash the movie, I did enjoy it immensely- but the Score is just unbelievably amazing!

Unlike many other franchsie scores, by the third and fourth part the score can become a little boring and redudnent, "At World's End" not only keeps up with tradition and has a sound that ramins true to the other two scores, but it has enough to make it completely original and fresh.

The score is amazing at evoking emotions from the listener, I heard the score prior to watching the film, and had an amazing understanding of the emotional content from this score.

"Hoist the Colors" not only starts out the soundtrack and the film, but it sets the mood and story for the film, and the theme reoccuers throughout the score.

"At Wit's End" is hauntingly beautiful and evokes a sense of mystery and sadness. "Calypso" is an amazing piece that grows from a mysterious haunting melody to a ferocious and rolling score complete with a choir that grows ever larger (which is PERFECT for the scene)

My personal favorite pieces are "What Shall We Die For" and "I Don't Think Now is the Best Time". The tracks are all part of one scene. "What Shall We Die For" is almost inspirational and has an amzing "uplifting" quality to it and the track grows bigger and larger and is just phenomonal. But the artistry of Zimmer and the Pirates score really comes to fruition in the second half of "I Don't think Now is the best Time" That's almost a ballet of a score that flows from Action mcvie score to romance- it's also one of the more memorable scenes in the film. The score has a multi-genre feel to it with the score running through Romace film, to western, Action picture and everything in between!

As scores go, "At World's End" really runs the gambit, from quiet and tragic, to desperation, to scary, to Soft and emotional, to hard driving action, to "Drink Up Me Hearties" that is almost impossible to listen to and NOT picture our Hero, Jack Sparrow, as it rolls into the unforgettable theme in true epic style.

My only problem with this score (as with the others in this series) is that at a running time of just under an hour, you do wonder where the other 2 hours of score are!

It doesn't quite have the Rock sound that 'Dead Man's Chest" had, but it really holds it's own as an unforgettable and amazing piece of work that really captures the spirit of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" and rounds out the trilogy quite nicely

As befits the soundtrack of a music biopic, most of the heavy lifting here is done by the movie's subject: iconic French singer Edith Piaf. She was the Gallic Judy Garland, a natural performer who overcame one personal tragedy after another and was never more alive than on stage, forging an uncommon bond with both material and audience. Since actress Marion Cotillard lip-synchs in the film, the first 11 tracks on the CD are by Piaf herself, and give a good overview of her biggest hits (though we get the English version of the title track) and her feverish, ultra-dramatic style. But Piaf wasn't only a tragedienne of song: Her lighter side is represented by "Rien de Rien" and "Mon Manège à Moi," which she infuses with wonderful flair. Tracks 12-20 are made up of Christopher Gunning's richly symphonic original score (check out "La Mort de Leplée"). The last third of the album offers Piaf without Piaf, with contemporary singers Jil Aigrot and Maya Barsoni performing her songs (apparently because the originals' poor sound quality meant they would have stuck out in the movie). Watch out, however, for Mistinguett's hilarious "Il m'a vu nue," a slice of French music-hall history preserved in amber. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

Official motion picture soundtrack to the film La Vie En Rose, the dramatic real-life story of French chanteuse Edith Piaf, starring Marion Cotillard and Gerard Depardieu. This release contains 27 tracks featuring 11 of Piaf's most popular songs remastered including "La Vie En Rose", "Hymne A L'amour" "Milord" and "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien", plus the original score by Christopher Gunning.

What fun! This soundtrack of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical overflows with glossy, ol' fashioned '60s-style pep. It won't win any awards for innovation, but it may well be one of the most feel-good releases of the year. While not quite as super-energetic as the original Broadway cast, the new crew ain't too shabby: Nikki Blonsky delivers as Tracy Turnblad and Zac Efron (High School Musical) makes for a devoted boyfriend, and the supporting cast gleefully embraces the show's silly-but-generous spirit. John Travolta (who gets to utter the particularly ironic line "it's been years since someone asked me to dance") goes drag as Tracy's mom, Edna, while Michelle Pfeiffer's slight stiffness is appropriate for her uptight character, especially on the cha-cha "(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs." After Mama Morton in Chicago, Queen Latifah puts in another brassy turn as Motormouth Maybelle ("Big, Blonde and Beautiful," which is then reprised by Travolta and Pfeiffer). The show's authors, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, have written three new numbers for the movie: the rollicking (and first single) "Ladies' Choice," "New Girl in Town" and "Come So Far." In addition, the CD also includes two tracks that aren't in the film but were in the show: "Cooties," sung by Aimee Allen, and "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now," sung by all three Tracy Turnblads: Blonsky, Ricki Lake (from the source movie) and Marissa Jaret Winokur (from the original Broadway cast). --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

The Hairspray soundtrack will feature 17 songs from the film, including three original numbers that were created specifically for the film version of the hit Broadway musical - "Ladies' Choice," "New Girl In Town," and "Come So Far." Also featured on the soundtrack are the songs "Good Morning Baltimore," "Welcome to the `60s," "Nicest Kids In Town," and "You Can't Stop The Beat." The songs are performed by cast members John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow and Elijah Kelley among others.

The Hairspray soundtrack is produced by Marc Shaiman and features music by Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman. It features tracks mixed by Ed Cherney (Rolling Stones, Bette Midler) and Peter Mokran (Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera).

Sixteen years after the release of the original film, New Line Cinema is bringing a feature film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Hairspray to life. Featuring new and original material based on John Waters' 1988 cult classic about star-struck teenagers on a local Baltimore dance show, the comedy features a remarkable collection of talent including John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, Allison Janney, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Chicago), and director Adam Shankman (Bringing Down The House). The new screenplay for Hairspray was written by Leslie Dixon (Freaky Friday, Outrageous Fortune).

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!.......2007-07-11

This is an excellent cd! The whole cast is great. Zac Efron did a good job as Link Larkin, and Nikki Blonsky was GREAT as Tracy Turnblad. John Travolta was surprisingly good as Edna! If you are a fan of the Broadway cast then you will love this cd!

3 out of 5 stars Missing Harvey!.......2007-07-11

When will they learn that when they bring a broadway show to film, they need to cast the people that made it a SMASH?

If the recording is an indication of how good the film will be, I am afraid that I will be disappointed by John Travolta. I see he has top billing, yet he is hardly heard on the recording. The numbers that he appears in are not done well at all. He did not bring anything to the table with this recording. I was longing for Harvey Fierstein in "Timeless to Me".

The rest of the recording is good and the new songs are just fine. Queen Latifah does a wonderful job and I am anxious to see her performance. The new Tracy sounds adorable and I am sure she will be a hit.

I am still looking forward to the film, but I would easily pick the broadway recording to listen to any day.

4 out of 5 stars Better than Broadway!.......2007-07-10

I saw Hairspray during the Seattle premiere and have long owned the Broadway Cast Recording. While I enjoyed the show and the Broadway CD, I never really loved Hairspray - until now.

I think aside from Melissa (Tracy, Broadway) the cast on this CD wins hands down. I liked Harvey in the role of Edna (Broadway) a lot - he is a great acter, but as a singer - not so good, and I didn't find his fracking voice amusing at all, which I am assuming was what landed him the role. I don't think Edna was intended to be this low voiced male/female character, but a female character, whom happened to be played by a male (Devine) in the first movie. Devine came across as a woman (some people I know didn't realize Devine is a man). With Harvey, I felt like they were trying to say - is Edna a man or a woman? Not the case with Travolta, who does a great job.

We know Queen Latifa is great, so I won't comment there. Pfiffer is ok. Not disappointing at all, and this version of "Miss Baltimore Crabs" is vastly superior to the Broadway version, in lyric and orchestration.

The orchestrations throughout have been updated and are much improved and more exciting. "Cooties" is just awesome on this CD. What a fun song.

All in all, a MUCH more enjoyable recording than the Broadway recording, and that's saying a lot, since the Broadway recording was pretty darn good.

Only downside - no "Big Dollhouse"

Writer-director Marc Lawrence's romantic comedy gently satirizes the music industry's past and present via Hugh Grant's Alex Fletcher, a has-been Rock of the '80s icon given another shot at the charts by young pop diva Cora Corman (newcomer Haley Bennett). Grant gives some surprisingly credible--if often gently tongue-in-cheek--performances in his musical debut; indeed, he carries better than half the soundtrack with his earnest vocal charms. The production gets key help from Fountain of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, who contributes a delicious, loving send-up of Wham! courtesy of "Meaningless Kiss," the emotive piano confessional "Don't Write Me Off," and two versions of "Way Back into Love," the comeback ballad/duet that drives the story line. A playful demo version of the latter pairs Grant with co-star Drew Barrymore (playing the florist who becomes Fletcher's unlikely songwriting foil), while Grant's ultimate duet with young Bennett evokes contemporary pop conceits with a keen, affectionate flair that also graces the young singer's Britney-esque "Buddha's Delight," "Slam," and the more obviously snarky "Entering Bootytown." Rounding out the collection are a pair of complimentary tracks by Swedish pop acts: The Sounds' bouncy "Tony the Beat" and the club-slinky groove of Teddybears' "Different Sound." Highlighted by Grant's sympathetic vocals and a knowing musical sensibility that never quite lapses into mere parody, it's a pop-lover's delight from start to finish. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Music and Lyrics Soundtrack.......2007-07-07

I loved this movie, and I have watched it over and over again. The CD is also one of my favorites that I listen to constantly. I was very impressed by the duet, "Way Back Into Love," with Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett. All of Haley's songs were great, especially "Entering Bootytown." This little girl is a cutie, and I expect to see her become a big hit when she releases her first CD, soon. I think Hugh's solo, "Don't Write Me Off," is very good. I had no idea he could sing so well, and Drew Barrymore didn't do bad, either, with her demo version of "Way Back Into Love." It was worth the money just to hear the Haley/Hugh duet of "Way Back Into Love." They made a great team, and the song has wonderful lyrics, with a haunting melody. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

4 out of 5 stars What's Wrong with a Bit of Meaningless Fluff?.......2007-07-06

Oh people...this has NO redeeming features except extraordinary chemistry between always-cute-and-sexy Hugh Grant and remarkably-focused Drew Barrymore in a simply silly but very lovely tale of a self-proclaimed has-been Eighties rocker (Grant)who commandeers his plant-care lady (Barrymore) to write some lyrics he badly needs in 48 hours.

And why does he need these lyrics? Because the greatest female pop icon of all time, Cora (played brilliantly by newcomer Haley Bennett, hilarious as a cross between Britney Spears and Christine Aguilerra) has invited him to join her on her upcoming world tour--IF he can write the "perfect song." This would mean goodbye to performances at county fairs--goodbye to has-been-hood and hello to resurrected rock-hood!

Can they do it? Can they write THE song when they only know each other's names, are completely different in age, temperament, and just about everything else? Hey--this is Hollywood.

Just fun all the way through, and the songs (both from Grant's mythical Eighties band "Pop" and his "new" hits) are actually catchy. Very enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars Hugh, Drew, and Haley-an awesome musical pair!!.......2007-07-01

When I think of Hugh Grant I think of Elizabeth Hurley's ex with the proper British accent and the 90's floppy hair. I never expected such a beautiful voice!! Wow!!! The songs are beautifully written and Grant's soothing voice over the 80's pop melodies and beautiful piano ballads was addicting! Drew Barrymore and newcomer Haley Bennet, each with their different voices, made listening to the different versions of "Way Back Into Love" very enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars Surprising and Refreshing!.......2007-06-30

I rented the Music and Lyrics movie expecting to go through the same emotions I experience when watching any romantic comedy. And as I expected, I watched with a silly smile on my face, there were moments I yelled at the TV, I bopped to the music, I laughed, and I cried, and I was totally charmed. But I am seldom so dazzled by a film's soundtrack to literally rush out and buy a copy!! The lyrics are catchy and refreshing, the songs are upbeat and fun, and they all mesh together perfectly. This is a soundtrack I will be listening to all summer long, and well after summer is over.

    Amazon.com

    Loosely based on the popular Disney theme park audio-animatronic ride, one might expect a modicum of good-natured "Yo-ho-ho-ing"--or maybe a little rousing Korngold/Errol Flynn/Captain Blood orchestral romanticism--here. Instead composer Klaus Badelt initially entices us with some sparing Celtic folk charm, then unleashes a furious broadside of symphonic and choral thunder to rival his ominous score for K-19. The composer's fellow German mentor is an obvious influence throughout (the album is credited with a wink as "Score overproduced by Hans 'Long John' Zimmer") but Badelt brings his own muscular instincts to bear throughout. Perhaps shrewdly realizing that genre cliches are nothing if not for reinventing, Badelt delivers his rhythmically nervous Eurocentric sensibilities--sort of Holst duels Shostakovich on the Spanish Main--with the subtlety of a scorching cannonball. It's seasoned with a little romantic respite in the final act, if a bit gingerly, and could no doubt profit by some of Korngold's sparkling melodic verve. But it's a loud, unabashed Summer Blockbuster score at heart; alert the neighbors. --Jerry McCulley

    A great soundtrack from a wonderful movie. Too bad the second and third pirates movies weren't as good as the first. Regardless, great soundtrack.

    i saw the movie which i recommend to buy now from amazon,i recommend to buy the three movies and have all the selection of pirates of the caribbean,this soundtrack is something that put you in the movie,words can't describe this cd,click,buy and you will see

    5 out of 5 stars yes, all true, but the sound!!!.......2007-06-28

    I agree with the other reviewers about the music, which is fine, but also want to point out that this is a terrific work-out for sound systems with REAL sub woofers (not the scrawny boxes that say they are, but aren't). If you have a room shaker system, down to like 15 Hz, this is for you. The deepest and most sustained bass I have ever heard.

    Secret - listen for hints of Gladiator and Mission Imossible. He helped with those films - maybe they are little inside jokes?

    5 out of 5 stars awesomee.......2007-06-21

    I'm not a huge fan of classical music, but many of the songs in this soundtrack melted my heart. :) Some were not *that* good, but some were just very incredible, which makes it worth five stars !

    If the 9-year-old in your life hasn't alerted you already, consider this your heads up: Not since Hilary Duff has Disney delivered the masses a tween sensation as hot as the double-life-leading Miss Hannah Montana. More important for speaker-blowing second- to seventh-graders and the parents forced to buy them CDs, though, no small-screen sensation transcends the tube more convincingly. Part party girl and part plain old good girl, Montana--a sweet-voiced, playful performer--never skimps on the pipes. Country fans will chalk that up to our rhyme-named heroine's lineage; 14-year-old Miley Cyrus, who plays Montana, is the daughter of Nashville star Billy Ray Cyrus (who duets on this disc's sentimental, twang-resistant last track). The rest of the world, though, is apt to find itself belting along based on Hannah's unsinkable hooks and frothy Ashlee-meets-Hilary vocals alone: theme song "Best of Both Worlds" bumps around off a Joan Jett-reminiscent springboard; "Who Said" rips a page from the emo diaries; and "Just Like You" ladles on harmonies sweet enough to attach a stick to. Additional tracks like Jesse McCartney's "She's No You" and B5's Earth Wind & Fire redo "Shining Star" are first-rate complements to the proceedings, but make no mistake: this dance-happy hybrid belongs to the reigning pop princess alone. --Tammy La Gorce

    5 out of 5 stars Hannah Montana is genuine and talented........2007-06-19

    My family and I love the CD and DVD we purchased of Hannah Montana last year. The soundtrack album is very well produced. We are awaiting the new CD and DVD release, and have ordered both several weeks in advance. Since she already debuted a half dozen tunes which cracked the top 100 in the first week, it will not surprise me if she does even better with this next album.

    Her tunes are cleverly written, and they seem to stay with you similarly to (as one write above mentioned) the tunes of the Beatles. I cannot recall very many solo acts or groups that hinted at perhaps one day being as consistent as the Fab Four were. Granted, this is only the beginning of what could be a very successful career, but my guess is that with her pipes, her stage presence and genuine musical talent, and these catchy songs--written by some writers whom really know how to craft tunes with the right balance of unity and variety (including such imaginative B sections)--she will be on top for several years. Furthermore, we will most likely see a transition from Hannah Montana to Miley Cyrus (this may already be occurring with the new release, given 'who' is singing what songs on the album) in the near future.

    Musically, I have observed that she uses a preponderance of E major, and that even when the melodies are diatonic they are not always easy to memorize after a couple of hearings. Interestingly, her voice sounds quite different when she strays into other keys, such as G major in "Life Is What You Make It" (not included on the current album), in which it is a tad more raspy; and C-sharp minor in "Nobody's Perfect" (also not included on this album, but see below) in which her timbre is brazen yet controlled. I hope that she eventually explores the lower range of her voice as she becomes more creative (maybe even writing more of her own material and performing with guitar in hand as the years progress). On the rare (albeit brief) occasions when she has ventured into the lower gamut, the tone quality is far different and compliments her 'normal' ambitus very nicely.

    Those who like this CD may want to pick up the Hannah Montana: 2-Disc Special Edition Soundtrack as well. Sure, the tracks are nearly identical, but there is additional footage (exclusive Hannah Montana Backstage Secrets), autographed snapshots of Miley Cyrus, and a bonus track (audio) and live performance (video) of "Nobody's Perfect," a solid rocker which in the opinion of this writer is almost worth the price of the CDs itself. The track is arguably the most ambitious to date for the young singer. (N.B.: This review is being written before having heard the majority of the tracks on the just-released Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus CD.) "Nobody's Perfect" is performed remarkably well, with Miss Montana's stage presence and accompanying rhythmic synchronizations (hand gestures and choreography) augmenting an already intriguing piece of writing. The tune may interest those who enjoy relatively uncommon chord progressions in pop music. It begins and ends in C-sharp minor, but meanders effortlessly through a B minor/D major sound world, eventually gravitating toward E major. The combination and succession of pitch centers--and especially the harmonic tension created between the opening and closing key of C-sharp minor and the B minor/D major/G(!) major constructs within which the second major section of this work vacillates--provides a stark yet musically engaging contrast.

    I appreciate the image Miss Montana has thus far portrayed as well. As a father of several children (including four daughters, each of which loves her music), it is gratifying to see a positive role model (with talent to burn) coming out of the Disney mindset. I wish her all the best in the years to come.

    4 out of 5 stars We want Hannah . . . not those other guys........2007-05-25

    First of all, I give Hannah Montana 5 stars, at least I would, but they mix in all those other guys, Jesse McCartney, Everlife, B5, etc. But Hannah Montana sings only 8 songs. She should wait until she has more songs of her own before making an album. Plus she just came with her special edition soundtrack-$10 more and only 1 more song and a couple pictures-not worth it! If your a fan, get it. But if not, stick with other singers, like Hilary Duff. But if your saving your money wait 'till her second one comes out-10 new songs by Hannah Montana including Nobody's Perfect, Make Some Noise, and 8 never before heard songs! Plus a 2nd disc with 10 songs by Miley Cyrus (who plays Hannah.) So it depends on how big a fan you are.

    5 out of 5 stars Just go ahead and show your child how to set to auto-repeat..........2007-05-24

    My daughter loves this CD. It was one of her favorite Christmas gifts, and she's played it four thousand times, it seems.
    If you are looking for positive music for girls, with a singer who doesn't look like a hooker on stage, this is the album I'd recommmend! Hannah Montana is a great value for little girls, and her songs manage to focus on being who you are, not following peer pressure, and super-innocent attraction to a boy. This is truly girl music that a parent can get behind!

    Amazon.com

    When a movie's main selling point is that it's really big and really loud, the soundtrack's got to keep up. But oddly, this CD falls short--tellingly, the first single is a power ballad by the Goo Goo Dolls, "Before It's Too Late," featuring the kind of emoting previously heard in Spider-Man's "Hero." The album's producers have mostly focused on arena guy rock circa 2007, with songs pulled from new or recent albums by the likes of Linkin Park or Taking Back Sunday. There should have been more tracks like the Smashing Pumpkins' rumbling juggernaut, "Doomsday Clock," Disturbed's compact "This Moment" or the Used's riff-a-rama "Pretty Handsome Awkward." Slightly surprising is the absence of electronics and hip-hop, the only exception (sort of) being Styles of Beyond's "Second to None," which sounds like the Beastie Boys on EPO, and Julien-K's "Technical Difficulties." While the big names are packed in the first two thirds of the CD, the last third serves as a showcase for upcoming bands (whose songs aren't in the movie) that sound exactly like their elders--glossy, huge, based on big guitar riffs. In the end, all this aggro energy feels more cosmetic and corporate than authentic. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    Save your money and buy the 2 or 3 decent songs on iTunes...

    For there to have been so much amazing orchestral music in the film, the CD soundtrack left out too much and included too many songs not featured in the film.

    1 out of 5 stars Don't bother........2007-07-11

    I can't say i hate the soundtrack, but I can say its not worth the money. The only three songs of worthiness are:
    What Ive Done
    Pretty Handsome Awkward
    Before its To Late

    Just go on Limewire and search those and your set. Save your money for the Score Soundtrack. I don't know when it will be released but most scores come out 2 weeks to a month after Theater release so keep an eye out for it towards the end of July, but I could be wrong. I heard the score is still being worked on for the soundtrack so don't quote me on the release.

    4 out of 5 stars Wow..........2007-07-11

    It seems quite a few people have alot of difficulty telling the difference between a Soundtrack and a Score. If you really need to tell the difference, try...oh I don't know... FLIPPING THE DAMN CASE OVER AND LOOKING AT THE BACK!!! Nobody has any excuse for "oops" buying on a soundtrack. If your looking for the Score and you flip the case over and see songs by Linkin Park and Smashing Pumpkins, instead of say, Hans Zimmer, chances are you have the wrong one. If your buying online, anywhere you buy a cd, they ALWAYS have a track listing. People are just dumb.

    4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good.......2007-07-10

    I liked this soundtrack. I thught that it was totally worth the $10 I paid for it. I wish the "Not on soundtrack" songs were actually in the movie cause I thought they were good. The only song that I really skip over is the Smashing Pumpkins song. Don't buy this cd if you want to hear the songs from the movie, buy this cd if you like the bands on here (which I do).

    1 out of 5 stars In Defense to Mute Math's version..........2007-07-10

    Most consumers by now should be going online or reading the back of the freakin cd to check if the Soundtrack includes the score. If you don't do that, YOU'RE JUST A BAD CONSUMER, I'm sorry.

    Usually, films nowadays have two versions: the score version (that most of us like), and the Money making, "Music inspired from the movie..." verison. I would have to say, that they could've been smarter with the choice of titles.

    What happened to all the songs that Bumble Bee used? That was a great, clever moment in the movie, and those songs would've been classic if it was included. I can see numerous consumers coming in to buy the soundtrack just for those songs...but then they weren't smart enough to include it. ALSO The Goo Goo Dolls are just trying to re-capture their success with "Iris" from the City of Angels OST. They should just stop...it was good then, just stop. The piano intro for the Linkin park song kinda worked, but then it hit distortion. I HATE IT WHEN THEY USE TOP 40 songs in films...it's such an abuse of product placement. What could've worked was putting the Mutemath Transformer's Theme after Optimus Prime's speech in the beginning of the film...that would've been ok. That Mutemath cover was the ONLY reason why i gave this album 1 star: jeez, i didn't even buy it this album....cuz most of these songs are on the respective artists' albums already.

    Someone here mentioned the Black Lab (look for it on youtube) Transformers Theme version and said it was better than mutemath's. WRONG. Well..unless you wanna go all metal soundtrack like all the horror movies these days. Metal just doesn't fit it...the autobots vs. decepticons scenes..maybe...but i even think the score was really good...MAYBE A lil' ARMAGEDDON-Like...but hey, who was the director? Yep. The Mute Math version was very spacey and was perfect for the feel of the movie and would blend well with the movie's feel.

    I do hope they release the official score...it was good.
