5 out of 5 stars A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

4 out of 5 stars The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

4 out of 5 stars Good mix of film music.......2006-07-02

Good mix of films!
I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

4 out of 5 stars A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars Uplifts your soul, takes your mind into the heavens.......2006-01-06

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

5 out of 5 stars so good.......2007-06-28

i just love this album.it makes me laugh and think hard sometimes too.good charlotte just keeps getting better.

1 out of 5 stars Bad Charlotte! Absolutely horrible Charlotte!.......2007-01-10

Cool! More emo for the hit stations to pump into the ears of mindless musicoids who obey whatsoever the airwaves tell them! Actually, that was a bit harsh on this band's fans. But anyway, this is an absolutely atrocious release with the exception of "I Wanna Live" or whatever it's called. I heard this album about two years ago and that's the only song that stood out to me. Don't buy this! It's pop trash and there are much more sophisticated bands you could look for. (I.E. Lostprophets, still slightly emo but much better lyrically and instrumentally)

1 out of 5 stars GC SUCKS!.......2007-01-08

Hahahahaha. This band sucks, period. Honestly, I have never heard such horrible displays of music. Wait I have, that was Paris Hilton, K-fed, and Simple Plan. Wow. Hard to believe that the music scene has become this awful. I wonder what kind of idiots run the music industry these days. Whatever happened to the good ole days of BLack Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hindricks, Metallica, Pantera, Alice in Chains, etc. All of these good bands/artists have basically been replaced with whiny, wimpy, bubble-gum pop/rock bands/artists like GC, Simple Plan, Jessy McCartney, Paris Hilton, etc. I can't understand why wimps with no talent whatsoever are given recording contracts.

Anyways, back to this piece of crap band. This album just flat-out sucks. All the tracks are terrible. The lead singer sounds sexually frustrated which is absolutely annoying to hear. The guitar playing is a joke. These guitarists clearly don't know how to create a good riff. All they use is power chords and distortion. The production is terrible too. Btw, if you wanna know how whiny the lead singer can get, just listen to the first single off the album. It has him doing a spoken part which sounds more like a crying four-year-old than anything. It is ridiculous but not surprising when I hear most high school students saying how good this band is or that they rock hard. People, you don't know anything about what good music is or what rocks hard. For something that rocks hard, try Pantera, Metallica, Killswitch Engage for that.

I will be training to become an SBI agent in two years and know that I will have to deal with many juveniles in my line of work which makes me hate this band even more b/c that's what most of them listen too and rap(don't get me started on how much I despise this). I don't have a lot of respect for adolescents these days come to think of it. The fact that many of them are such spoiled brats and complain that their lives are horrible b/c their parents are too strict really pisses me off. In essence that's what this band talks about in their lyrics, especially on this album. I have had all I can take of bands like this and their fans who are ungreatful to be alive. This album deserves 0 stars, btw.

P.S. Also, if I have offended anyone by this posting, deal with it!

3 out of 5 stars Teens like this music.......2007-01-05

My teen daughters like this group. Too weird for me though.

3 out of 5 stars An Angsty Saga.......2006-09-29

I've given up my Good Charlotte fan status and tried to chuck my "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" CD ages ago. It's kind of personal, but I just kind of outgrew them.
Anyways, on this CD, I think the only song I like is "Predictable." I was resistant to it, but it wore me down. The speech-rant part in the middle cracks me up every time. Sorry, Benji and Joel. I know you showed vulnerability, but that whole "You're never coming back!" stuff makes me laugh.
It's not really good, and not my favorite thing ever, but it's fun to sing along like angst-filled pseudo-punks (with the windows firmly closed, to keep our cred intact, of course).

    5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2006-01-06

    I'm a big gc fan and i love all they're cds! This one is a lot deeper then all their others and its really encouraged me to write songs and work with my band even harder! you should give it a try if you've never heard it before. and if you think they're a bunch of "Posers" well you dont HAVE to listen to it! plus they never CLAIMED to be punk or anything they are jst 5 guys doing what they love and doing it the best they can! so give 'em a break!

    4 out of 5 stars Good Charlotte Is good.......2005-08-09

    It's not the band that are posers the music is freakn awesome but some fans are posers and that gives the band a bad name, but hey posers have the right to like good music too but y'know posers are annoying.

    5 out of 5 stars GC ROX!.......2005-07-09

    Good Charlotte rocks no matter what other ppl say. This cd is amazing and show their evolution. they are really talented people. They are learning many instruments and will grow even more as time goes on
    Joel- sings/guitar
    Benji Guitar/background vocals
    Billy- Keyboards/Guitar
    Paul- Bass/Cello/Learning Keyboards
    Chris- Drums
    So before you judge listen to this cd and dont waste your time writing bad reviews. Get a life. They arent posers and never were/ will be posers!

    5 out of 5 stars They never cease to amaze.......2005-04-03

    Good Charlotte is an amazing band, as is this cd, despite what many may think.as for thoes of you who think that Good Charlotte is a band of sell outs well here what i have to say to you... how can someone sell out if they neevr knew what they were in the first place. also, why does everyone call them "posers" or whatever, they NEVER claimed to be "punk". it's music, who cares what it is as long as you like it. and if you dont, then dont listen. it's as simple as that! if you a "rocker" or whatever, then listen to your music, us GC fans wont bother you. so leave us and them the hell alone!
    This cd is absolutly amazing and i wouldnt change it. it is different then the old stuff, but i think i like it more. this stuff isnt just about high school and being piked last, it's deeper... it means more to more people. it really has hit a soft spot for me... i highly suggest this cd to anyone.

    1 out of 5 stars Terrible.......2005-04-03

    What a worthless pile. I sometimes wonder if Good Charlotte just tries to outdo themselves and put an even worse cd out every time. These idiots can't figure out who or what they want to be other than terrible artists. I can't believe people buy their records. Hearing it on tv is bad enough. Thank you MTV for making this terrible band famous.

    1 out of 5 stars Most disappointing album EVER.......2006-10-20

    Having rather enjoyed their self-titled album and "The Young And The Hopeless", I made the mistake of buying this boring and musically morbid CD.

    If this was an attempt by Good Charlotte to expand the group's musical horizons, then it's a perfect failure which perhaps demonstrates that the boys had by this point reached the limits of their creativity.

    If the album were not bad enough, I find the marketing technique of issuing two nearly identical CDs that differ only in the so-called "bonus song" offered to be cheesy at best. If that doesn't embrace the term "sell out", then nothing does.

    5 out of 5 stars Come on. .......2006-03-27

    It is really sad when people go on artist product sites and write trash about them when they dont even listen to the product, besdies what you hear on the radio.

    I mean come on. Give it up.
    You obviously cant escape them, so you might as well deal with it.

    SO if you dont like them, dont talk about them. The people here that do talk about them and only talk about hate for them.

    So STFU. Ignore it, go listen to your "GOOD music" and let the fans listen to GC. They are obviously sucessful in what they do and will continue. SO just bit your tongue and go on with your life.

    I mean if you hate them so much, why the shiz do you write long things about it. Real people would just go on with their normal lives and not care. Cause thats what cool people do.

    I like Good Charlotte. Im 16. What?
    Who the freak cares. I dont bother with your music.
    Dont bother with mine.

    (I am referring to all the gc haters who feel the need to waste space on something they hate) not anyone in particular. Just them =)

    1 out of 5 stars How the f... they call themselves good Charlotte when it's just bad?.......2006-03-27

    No need to say more, these f@gs are just making lousy punk pop for the teenage girls and mtv watching kids who think they're quite rebel with listening to this kind of sheit, and these suckers do it just for the money like green day or blink 182. There just have to be some stuff like this to fill all the pop and mtv charts.

    3 out of 5 stars Had Some Good Points..........2006-02-25

    Note: Track ratings are based on the album, not music in general.

    I got this album for Chronicles, which is a pretty decent track, but after listening to the whole album a few times it didn't really have much to say for itself. Almost all the songs are, well, boring. The only thing that stops it getting two stars is that it does have some decent tracks on it.

    Also, Amazon says that track 9 is called the tenth. It's not, it's the truth.

    1. Once Upon a Time- The intro is ok, just a little odd. It really doesn't seem to credit anything to the band, but it has a nice tune and sets the mood for... some other album. 8/10

    2. The Chronicles Of Life And Death- A very good song, and it reminds me a heck of a lot of Sims 2... The tune is excellent, and the lyrics have some highlights. Though it's just the track, this song has a very good video if you care to look online for it. 10/10

    3. Walk Away (Maybe)- Has some nice bits, but overall just a bit grating on the ears. No excellent tune, or revolutionary lyrics. It's not bad, but it's not good either. 6/10

    4. S.O.S.- Again, a few decent bits here and there, but mostly very samey. The lead's whining is quite noticeable here. 5/10

    5. I Just Wanna Live- It's one of the better songs, but not one that I really like. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the album, and sounds a bit like Scissor Sisters rapping. Still good, though. 7/10

    6. Ghost Of You- A lot of very nice bits here, but basically the same "nice bit" repeated. The verses are very dull, and still the whining gets through... But the chorus is defitiely qutie good. 7/10

    7. Predictable- A nice tune again with some very decent bits, but also a lot of pointless lyrics dragging it down. It's another self-pity songs, but the chorus' tune redeems it a lot. 7/10

    8. Secrets- One of the best tracks on the albums, this is one of the few that stays good throughout. The instrumentals in this are also very good. 10/10

    9. The Truth- Another good one, but very slow, sad and depressing. Think of Oasis's "Stop Crying Your Heart Out." The major complaint about this is it's the same tune repeated, but otherwise it's one of the best. 10/10

    10. The World is Black- One of the best again, this one has very good lyrics that can really make you think (or at least made me think). The tune is lacking, but is in no way bad, and is better than some of the other songs. Despite its fairly cheerful tune, this song is one of the most depressing on the album. 10/10

    11. Mountain- Missing out a lot on the tune here, and it suffers from poor vocals. There are still good bits, and it's one of the more cheerful tracks on the album. Not bad. 7/10

    12. Believe- Talk about depressing. "Her only son has died, and now her daughter cries." The tune is simple but comes across as ok. The lyrics aren't brilliant, but the song isn't bad. 7/10

    13. It Wasn't Enough- Awful, whingy start. But one of the best on the album, and certainly the cheeriest. It's one that you can sing along to without thinkin gyou're singing about your own destruction. The lyrics aren't happy, but the tune makes up for it. The chorus' tune falls short, but the verses are good. 10/10

    14. In this World (Murder)- Ok tune, interesting lyrics, but it has a tendency to give you a headache. I can't listen to it; it's trying to be rock too hard with too much whining. But the lyrics are interesting, especially at the chorus. Not a happy song, though, and certainly headache-inducing. Not beacuase it's overly bad, just because it grates. The lead singer is whinging again. 6/10

    15. Meet My Maker- Again, trying to be rock and falling short. Better than Murder but singing about death in a not so cheery way. It's songs like this that remind me of My Chemical Romance, but Good Charlotte just don't have the same vigour MCR have for their music. It's a mediocre song: not bad. 6/10

    16. Wounded- Hidden track, in the middle of Meet My Maker. A very good song, running in the same vein as "The Truth," but a whole lot better. One of the best on the album, certainly. And the whining seems to fit this time. Excellent song. 10/10

    On the whole, they could have done a lot better, but some highlights redeem the mostly mediocre album. My advice to Good Charlotte: Quit with the nasal whining, it hurts our ears. Decided whether or not you're going to be emo. And if you can only produce crappy songs, just don't produce at all. This album would have done better if had cut out all the average tracks.

    Could have been worse, but nothing special either.

    1 out of 5 stars Worst Band Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-12-26

    First of all, they're emo, so I give them a 1 star just for that. If I could give them lower I would. They think that they're better than Jimi Hendrix? Well why doesn't the lead guitarist from Good Charlotte take his guitar and shove it up his a$$! Their solos suck so fricking bad, it's unbelievable. What's with all of these kids saying how great they are? All they consist of is a bunch of wining little sissies b*tching about how screwed up their lives are. Boo hoo, who gives a sh*t?!? They think they've got it so bad. Look at all the kids on the other side of the world who are starving to death, have no homes, and no families. The kids in America who are influenced by their emo junk think that just because their parents don't let them do whatever they want that their lives are so bad. So that's an excuse to go cut their wrists? Nice influence their music is on kids. What happened to all of the good music from the 60s and 70s? I'm a kid and I don't listen to any of that emo crap. I listen to Kiss, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and Led Zeppelin. Real music. Not in a trillion years could Good Charlotte match up to any of those bands. By the way...their music just sucks in general.

    5 out of 5 stars Passion and Intelligence.......2003-08-07

    "Passion' is the word for this fine album by saxophonist Barth. Barth and a changing group of colleagues create an album bursting at the seams with jazz which is exciting and accessible. Bartz and confreres manage to sound modernist and back to the roots at one and the same time. Bartz successfully mixes gospel, rap, and the wonderful music of late 60's Miles's to create a collection of songs which, regardless of disparity of style and content from one song to the next, merge to create a tone picture that successfully evokes Afro-American origins and the sounds of today's inner city streets. Bartz is phenomenal, bursting with energy and intelligence. Among his colleagues, Cyrus Chestnut stands out. The only flaw in this fine collection occurs, unfortunately, in the first two minutes, when Jon Hendricks recites mediocre poetry in a tired voice. (Think of Hendricks' equally unsuccessful attempt at poetizing in George Russell's groundbreaking New York, N.Y. album from the early 60s.) The gem of the album is the magnificent "Song of Loving Kindness," which starts as a long, twisting solo by Bartz on tenor and grows in intensity as the rhythm section enters.

    5 out of 5 stars Great album from a serious player.......2003-07-04

    Gary Bartz has one of the most personal voices on the saxophone today. This album demonstrates his versatility and lyricism, his command of both the alto and soprano, and his love of the blues. If not for anything else, buy this album for the "Song of Loving-Kindness." His statement on this song is music as art at its highest level.

    This album has a lot of variety, and the level of playing is excellent across the board. You won't be disappointed.

    5 out of 5 stars ...very decent music..........2001-10-21

    this is an excellent jazz cd that incorporates traditional and contemporary styles with jazz an ounce or two of hip-hop. mr. bartz is all over the place with this ranging from ballads to reggae to some hard bop! at the time, amazon has this in limited supply, but if you can get your hands on it you'll enjoy it.

    4 out of 5 stars Very good, very interesting, one man's history of the blues.......1998-09-09

    All I knew about Gary Bartz was that he played with Miles sometimes in the 70's (on Live/Evil?). So I didn't really know what to expect... and yet I was surprised. Almost every track here is different -- funky organ/guitar combo (Million), straight ahead (Messenger), Trane/Pharoah-style meditation (Kindness) plus quite successful excursions into rap (Gangsta) reggae (Lively) and lots more. But from all the stylistic multitude emerges a strong, confident, passionate sound. He has a tight band and good choice of guests, and they make this "concept album" work extremely well.

      4 out of 5 stars The Best Chronicles Of Good Charlotte.......2005-10-07

      The disc : It's just the same with the original version, but the addition tracks are really cool. The live version is so good, and the Full Phatt Remix really danceable. Rating: 7/10
      The DVD: The behind the scene and performances are really great. Like you can get real "behind". Rating: 7/10

      So that the average is 7/10 but I add a bonus score 1, because I really love their image in this album. Finally, they can make a memorable album, not like a party-starter like "The Young and Hopeless".
