The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe Soundtrack

Anyone bought it? It just came out in the US today.

I didn't buy the whole thing, but I did buy my favorite song: Narnian Lullaby and I love it.

Overall, during the movie, I wasn't really impressed with the music. It was good, but not as good as Howard Shore, etc. except for one or two songs, like Narnian Lullaby.

I wasn't that impressed either. Get the soundtrack for the 1988 BBC version.

"Narnia lies beyond the door,
Narnia, who's been here before?" (just some words I wrote to the theme song)

I havent even watched the new movie yet, but the old theme for the BBC production is one of those themes...along with John Williams and the "Rescuers down Under" theme, that just stay with you.

Yeah, the only one I liked was the narnian lullaby. But usually I dont listen to the music in any film unless its really something.

I want it, just one of those obsessed with music. Only thing that made me mad was that Amy Lee was originally supposed to be on the soundtrack but she was taken off because she wouldn't change her style for them, just because they said it was too "dark". Yet Alanis Morisette (sp?) is still on it.

What you say is true Rian, the music was just to...to suspensful in all the wrong areas, and not very new sounding during the battle etc...I'm really dissapointed that Harry Gregson-Williams wrote so commonplace...he's no Howard Shore, Jerry Goldsmith or John Williams, but I've known him to have one or two inspired things up his sleeve.
When Lucy meets Tumnus, I thought the music sounded more aprpopriate for Scream 5. And when Edmund sneaks after Lucy, the music makes it seem like he's a murderer and not her brother.
The Narnian Lullaby was good.

Of course; that's one of my favorites. I also love the themes from Willow and Jurassic Park.
