Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Sandwiched between the opening and closing numbers of the Monsters, Inc. soundtrack is the sort of far-reaching score we've come to expect from Randy Newman. Up, down, and all around, we swerve through the standard Disney scramble: there's a danger's-near ditty, a tearjerker, a rally-the-troops energizer, a plucky peek-a-boo number, and, as befits the hit Disney/Pixar movie, a hefty chunk of liveliness. But to say this soundtrack is nothing special would be to shrug off a solid effort from a musical legend. How easy can it be, after all, to stir so many moods as effectively as Newman does? He proves again his knack for making musical genius seem pedestrian. Fans of the movie will like eyeballing Billy Crystal's Cyclops character, Mike Wazowski, the sidekick to John Goodman's lead monster, James P. Sullivan (a.k.a. Sulley), on liner notes that unfold to a full-color poster, and they'll also enjoy the end-title buddy tune "If I Didn't Have You," reminiscent of Toy Story's "You've Got a Friend in Me." It's first performed as a souped-up Crystal-Goodman duet, and as a CD closer, it becomes a pared-down piano song by the inimitable Newman. --Tammy La Gorce Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent Music for an Excellent MovieThe music to any movie should move you and stand alone as entertaining and evokative without the visual. In this case, you are getting it all, from the opening song, done very well by Billy Crystal and John Goodman, to the end credits. The music is amazing, by Randy Newman really is quite the amazing composer and one expects no less from him. I was delighted and thrilled to find this gem! Rating: - RANDY FINALLY GOT THE ACADEMY AWARD!!!I have been a big fan of Randy Newman ever since I first saw him on The Tonight Show back in 1970. His music has fascinated me ever since. What I can't understand is what took Hollywood so long to honor him? Although I feel that the hallmarks of his career are his songs, his film scores are also the stuff of genius. His composition style is so easily recognizable and so very American. I consider him one of the greatest popular songwriters of our time. I saw Randy in concert once several years ago and the experience still lingers in my memory. Keep up the great work, Randy...we love you! Rating: - Monsters Inc.=RADNESS!This soundtrack, along with many other Disney/Pixar soundtracks are fabulous. They Rock. There is no reason no one should buy this. It's great for everyone of all ages; even adults love it.

The music is similar to what he wrote for both Toy Story films. The song "If I Can't Have You" is not a bad one and won Newman his first academy award for best song. The track "Monsters, Inc." is the melody to the song in instrumental form with the big band, swinging style that Newman used in "A Bug's Life". Another theme for Sulley and Boo is featured throughout, most notably in "Boo's Going Home". The fun music occurs when the heroic parts set in as in "The Ride of the Doors" and "Enter the Heroes". Good old-fashioned mickey mousing is featured throughout almost every track, but it is found the most in "Boo's Adventures In Monstropolis". ... Read More: |
