Highlight versions of cast recordings are by definition a compromise, and this reduction of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera is no exception. Weighing in at 59 minutes, it's over 40 minutes shorter than the two-disc version, excising many musical scenes that convey the flow and impact of the show (which include, admittedly, a lot of patter and screaming). On the other hand, all the hits are here--"Think of Me," "Angel of Music," the title tune, "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Masquerade," and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"--and Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman are still on hand to make their distinctive contributions to the original London cast. So if you're looking for a convenient, inexpensive single disc that will let you enjoy Lloyd Webber's scrumptious melodies without having to immerse yourself in the action, this just might be for you. --David Horiuchi

Music of the Night????????.......2007-02-28

I really liked the idea of a highlights cd; however, The Music of the Night is not the same one that is on the original two-disc cd. The words aren't even the same. If you enjoy Music of the Night, skip this cd. Otherwise, this cd would be 5 stars.

Great short version!.......2006-12-06

If you only want to hear the songs from this musical, this one is for you. But if you want the full version, get the 4-disc version. I listen to this version in my car when I'm on the road, but I listen to the 4-disc version at home. Both versions are worth the purchase.

A long time favorite.......2006-08-26

This is one of my most treasured CDs. The voices of the cast are incredible! "Think of Me" and "All I Ask of You" are 2 of my favorites. If you enjoy the story behind Phantom, yu will like this soundtrack.

The Best Recording of this Show Available.......2006-04-21

I think that this is the best PHANTOM soundtrack out there:

1)It has the original Broadway cast, the best.
2)It cuts out the more risqu? parts of the show (believe me, there are some), making it "appropriate for the whole family."
3)The entire CD is on one disc, so you can go through the show w/o switching discs.
4)The only song that the movie soundtrack has on it that this doesn't is "Learn to Be Lonely," which appears in the credits, and isn't really a great song anyways.

Great CD.......2006-03-14

I bought this CD as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. We had misplaced the one that we had and needed a new one. This is one of our favorite cd's. Such beautiful music.

From a pure-pleasure standpoint, the first Beethoven's Wig was nothing to flip over, and the second disc in the series follows suit. However, that is not to say that this is not a valuable and possibly ingenious record. Those unfamiliar with the premise will quickly get the picture: Producer/writer/lead singer/chief clever guy Richard Perlmutter gathers a bundle of important classical works (Paganini's "Violin Concerto #2," Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz") and makes up silly, catchy lyrics to lay over them, informing the listener about the piece or its composer. Standing out for their offbeat brilliance this time are "Dvorak the Czechoslovak" ("Humoresque #7," Dvorak) and "Wow What a Wedding Cake" (Wedding March from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mendelssohn). Few stabs at mixing education with entertainment succeed so well. As a bonus, the second half of the CD repeats the symphonies straight up, presenting a neat opportunity to quiz kids 5-12 on what and who they've just heard. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

Greatest baby gift ever.......2007-03-15

Both of my grandchildren (and their parents and grandparents) are hooked on this CD and all of the silliness and beauty it brings into our lives. We sing to it, dance to it, and find ourselves thinking about it at odd times. Who can't love singing Verdi VERY LOUD? I've now started giving this as a simple baby gift, especially to those with older siblings. They are already equipped with clothing and nursery gear, and Beethoven's Wig invites the whole family to gather round...even if it is just on short car rides.

Great for the whole family.......2007-01-04

My husband, 18 month old daughter and I all love this CD. It's a staple in the car. One caveat- these lyrics will get stuck in your head and I now find myself singing the "words" to these songs when I hear them in a store or commercial! I'm hoping this means my daughter will recognize these songs as she gets older.

More Great Fun.......2006-03-13

Like the first volume, this CD encourages young children to enjoy classical music. The silly lyrics sometimes impart factual information on the composer or the piece. There are 11 sing-along symphonies and then the 11 symphonies are replayed without the lyrics--total of 22 tracks. Booklet with lyrics and trivia is included. All our children (aged 2-12) enjoy this CD, as do we.

One is better but this is still awesome!! Gotta have it!.......2006-01-10

My children loved Beethovens Wig 1. I checked this one out at the library. Then, we decided we had to have this one too.
Yes, one is the best but 2 is still wonderful.
Save yourself the shipping and order both at the same time.
We all thoroughly enjoy it. My 4 yr old can name these classicals when he hears them elsewhere and he can hum these beautiful songs. Much better than kiddie rhymes and Disney jingles. Culture your children the funniest way!!

Absolute joy, and endless fun!.......2005-11-15

The tunes and word stay with you and before you know it, you are signing them along. My two kids (ages 9 and 7) ask me to put the CD on as soon as we get into the car. What a wonderful and fun way to get them to love classical music!

Good selection of music, poorly performed and badly arranged. Good album for a tag sale. Same comment applies for Volume I.

Great music listein to while you read in bed.......2005-08-21

I have listened to this CD for the last several years before going to sleep at night. I love classical music, and this is great music to help make my soul feel at peace and unwind after a taxing day.

I bought Vol. 1 of this series and was quite satisfied, but I have to say I'm more than satisfied with this one. If you can just mellow out and enjoy some great pieces, you'll love this CD. #15 on Disc 2 is almost worth the price alone!

A bliss of spirit........2004-09-18

That's disc will open You a wonderful, beautiful world of sounds, their harmony & emotion : you'll feel your heart full of
Joy, Tears, Love.
Good LUCK!

Yes this CD will put you to sleep in minutes. Its the most boring uninspiring classical music. The first CD was very good but this Vol. 2 is like most movie sequels....AWFUL !

Feels Good.......2007-07-10

Got hooked on Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers at their Rocky Point concert 5/2007. Their music is awesome! Got this CD and Americano!

Peacemakers with a twist...of lime.......2007-06-29

Americano is the most significant album, start to finish, that Roger has ever written. This is not Americano but harkens to a beautiful mix of Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy and the classic Peacemaker chords. The Peacemakers are not the Refreshments: they're better.

Buy it. You'll question the direction on the first pass and love it on the second.

The Peacemakers are making the most significant, organic contribution to new rock music in America today. If you doubt it, go see a concert: anywhere. You will be amazed

Not Giving Up Yet...but I Continue to Hope for Better.......2007-06-22

I'll admit that I am perhaps a little too attached to Honky Tonk Union, but I have really struggled to embrace the direction that Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers are going. Clyne continues to have strong chops, and the musicianship remains top notch. The song-writing, at least to my ears, has been on a bit of a decline over the last couple of albums. No More Beautiful World has a moment or two that reminds me why I became a fan, but I can't justify listening to an album front to back for a moment or two. It's understandable that bands need to evolve, but until that evolution equals or surpasses their origins, I wish RCPM could do a little more channeling or their early work.

rcpm.......2007-06-21

not there best album but there are some good songs here. give it a listen before you buy

Great Stuff.......2007-05-21

Don't even think about a Buffett comparison, Roger's a much better lyricist. This is a great album. Just buy it.

Amazon.com

With the help of some friends (James Taylor and Alison Krauss lend some vocal support), the trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Mark O'Connor have created yet another fascinating hybrid of chamber music and bluegrass. This follow-up to 1996's Appalachia Waltz is filled with highly lyrical string passages, a homage or two to Copland, and plenty of tracks where Meyer's bass vamps with the best of them. This is reflective (and relaxing) music, lacking the intricate structure of classical music and the rough edges of folk. But, boy, is it catchy! Yo-Yo Ma fans may be disappointed to hear that--aside from the gorgeous "Duet for Cello and Bass"--the cellist takes more of a supportive role on this disc. Still, this is fun music, more intimate than Short Trip Home (Meyer's other crossover project for Sony), but still lively (just check out "1B" or "Caprice for Three"). --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Best on the Planet!.......2006-03-24

These are flawless preformances of great music by some of the most talented artists on the planet. Slumber My Darling will leave you so relaxed you'll have to remember to breathe. The reels will bring you to your feet. This music reaches the soul as well as the ear.

Stilted.......2005-12-15

I suppose you will enjoy this if you really like Yo-Yo Ma at his most boring. This is glorified elevator music and about as interesting.

Walking the trail.......2005-08-07

I actually heard this cd while having a root canal done at the dentist's office. I find the music so wonderful and the vocal segments are great. It does make you feel like you are walking the Appalachian Trail...and makes a root canal painless!

Superb concert.......2005-08-02

I have bought two copies of this disc -- one for my car. The music is wonderful, and the performances are memorable. There's a DVD version, which is equally good. The performers obviously loved working together, and that's fully evident.

Too Studied.......2005-06-22

Two of my favorite CDs in the last couple of years were "Obrigado Brazil" and "In Full Swing" by Yo Yo Ma and Mark O'Connor respectively. I found both of those CDs to be fine examples of genre-busting joyful music making. So when I saw these guys paired here, I snapped it up. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

The music throughout most of the CD sounds too labored, too studied. It is, frankly, not that inspiring. The playing throughout is, of course, of the highest calibre and the recorded sound excellent. But there is no hint of the exhuberance of Folk or Bluegrass which is the supposed inspiration for the disc. The guest spots by James Taylor and Alison Krauss are good but they sound like outtakes from their own CDs, these songs are out of context here. (But note how many other Amazon reviews reference their contributions as reasons for loving the CD. Perhaps so many five star ratings because these people need broader musical exposure?)

Too many critics over intellectualize. I base my ratings on one simple criterion: How much did the music move me? In this case, not much.

Average customer rating: badly in need of re-mastering What is it? Faith restored It's still fun! One word, Genius.

Faith No More are virtually impossible to categorize; they blend metal and rap elements in a mix that becomes seamless on The Real Thing, whose hit single, "Epic," is a perfect combination of these disparate genres. Other high points are the thrashy "Surprise! You're Dead!," an excellent cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," the funk-layered-with-keyboards "Falling to Pieces," and the soft but spooky "Zombie Eaters." With the addition of vocalist Mike Patton, the band secured a highly talented frontman and skilled lyricist. The Real Thing is one of those rare albums that is impossible to quantify but astoundingly good. More accessible than the follow-up Angel Dust, it's also the first album new Faith No More listeners should get. --Genevieve Williams

badly in need of re-mastering .......2007-06-19

The album itself is without question five stars. The one star is for the HORRIBLE sound quality.

What is it?.......2007-01-10

Sure, this album has been out a long time, and it may even seem dated if you weren't born when it came out. But it's so damn good. I hadn't heard it in more than 10 years and just wanted to check it out again, to see if it really was as good as i remember. The short answer: you damn straight it's good. It's freaky-deaky! Heavy and soft, loud and quiet, chocolate and kiwis.
Go get it.

Faith restored.......2006-12-24

In the midst of near band melt down and free for all, FNM fired their lead singer and brought in friend Mike Patton to pen lyrcis to their album that would be known as The Real Thing. Mixing Mike's love for vocal ranges and styles (everything from rapping to just rocking out like a true rock frontman) with the band's most accessible sound to date (and looking back now, THE most accessible period), FNM created a staple sound/album of the alternative scene, mixing some true music styles from rock to rap to a pre-acid like jazz sound. While some reviewers will try to sit there and say this is THE ALT ALBUM and Nirvana's Nevermind is a St. Anger for it's genre(?), FNM's The Real Thing is one of the cornerstones of the Alternative genre that evolved into Grunge (sorry but while TRT is great... Nevermind DID change an entire rock world by going back to the roots of rock that were long forgotten and bogged down by hair spray and power ballads, destorying what was left in the wake of GNR's AFD).
There is nothing much to say but Faith No More's The Real Thing is just a rocking album for the masses.

It's still fun!.......2006-11-10

I LOVED Faith No More back in the day and owned most of their albums. My old cassette version of this got eaten in the player and I didn't replace it for the longest time. Finally got around to getting it on CD and realized how much I missed the band and the album! They were pretty groundbreaking for the time. Saw them in concert and loved them even more. I can't talk all technicla with you about styles, revolutionary sounds and whatnot, I just know what I like!

One word, Genius........2006-09-11

This album is pure genius. The blend of music that this album has is simply out of this world. To here the totally different contrasts on the album, listen to the funk "Falling to Pieces" and to the metal and darkness of "The Real Thing". This truly a masterpiece of an album. If you like music, i recommend this album. One of the best of all time and CERTAINLY FOM's best.

An amazing album, Angel Dust unfortunately has limited appeal, although perhaps "unfortunately" isn't the right word; the record's oddities are also what make it such a fascinating listen. "Land of Sunshine" is a rocker with a foot-tapping rhythm punctuated by insane laughter from vocalist Mike Patton, whose distinctive voice and frequently disturbing lyrics drive the album. To call it hard rock does Angel Dust a disservice; it's far more musically complex than such a label implies. There's the funk-influenced "Midlife Crisis," the ballad "RV" (a bitter monologue from the point of view of a middle-aged discontent sitting in his trailer), the hard-edged claustrophobia of "Smaller and Smaller," and the rock-married-to-electronic-organ "Be Aggressive," which includes positively inspired cheerleader chants on the chorus. Impossible to classify but incredibly entertaining (there isn't a single boring moment on this album), Angel Dust is well worth picking up. --Genevieve Williams

Ahh memories.......2007-07-06

There is something about this album that is able to uproot the listener and emerse them in a listening experience that is skilled and varied. This album is not for everyone, maybe not for most people even. But this is one of those albums that takes me back to my youth because it did such a good job imprinting on me. I love it. - if you like "good music" and are able to transverse genres, check it out. No matter what your taste, you'll have to give props to a band that put alot of thought into what they delivered as a whole.

Not that great.......2007-03-14

i finally bought this after hearing so many good things about this album. but now that i have it, i dont think its really as good as everyone says. the songs arent funny, the music is boring. the only good song is midlife crisis, and that is still medeocre at best. i dont understand why people like this album. to tell you the truth, i think mike patton sounds terrible on this album. he sounds much better in mr. bungle, and that band is just so much better anyway. the only good thing patton has done is mr. bungle. anything else by mike is not really worth listening too. i dont consider him a musical genius like many others do. there is so much more out there that is so much better than this. i find this album a waste of money. it got two stars for midlife crisis.

I have now said my two cents, thank you.

The album that killed FNM's career...........2007-02-12

....and secured their musical legacy. The Real Thing was a solid rock/rap mixture with newly hired Mike Patton providing vocals. On Angel Dust, Patton had a lot more creative input, providing his wonderful vocal stylings and schizophrenic persona to Faith No More. It's a joyous ride that after a less than stellar performance initially, has become something of a cult classic and favorite among many newer acts - and with good reason. This album is all over the board. Land of Sunshine reads like a list of fortune cookies (which is the supposed inspiration), while Caffeine is an anthem for Patton's drug of choice, and one of FNM's most energetic recordings. Then there is the occaisonal oddball track showing Patton's range and sense of fun, like RV, which is like a melancholic rant from the stereotypical figure you might find living in an RV. Not exactly bilboard material, but fun.

Adding to the record were the internal tensions of the band. Jim Martin was having creative differences, yet pumps out some of his best work here. Tensions may have fueld a more agressive record, and FNM would never sound better than they do on this album. It's the bands chemistry - both good and bad - that make this album work. Commercially, this might have not been the hit the record company wanted, but its legacy can still be heard today and it's still a great record to crank up for a drive, barely showing its 15 year old age.

Everything's Ruined!.......2007-02-10

Patton... His fans love him and everything he does. But to the outside world he is ultimately known for his work with Faith no more. Their album "The Real Thing" spawned a hit single "Epic", then it seemed like they dropped off the map. No they didn't drop off the map; they released an unsuccessful commercial(at least in usa) follow up called Angel dust. This album is crazier than everything they had ever released. The 1st track Land of Sunshine sounds like FNM until the chorus goes into laughing and circus music. Caffeine is one of the hardest songs on the cd and prolly one of the best lyrically. Midlife Crisis was the 1st single, which is my favorite song. RV is funny but is kinda a throwaway for me as is Be Agressive, A small victory. The two songs I just mentioned previously are chalk full of homosexual themed lyrics. Be Agressive: It's hard for me...I'll take it on my knees. You know what I won't go further into detail the lyrics to these songs in particular are gross and kinda distracting to the creativity of the music throughout the cd. There is enough good tracks like "Everything's Ruined" to almost redeem its missteps.

A Classic!.......2007-01-23

Faith No more, Classic Melodies, Eternal Tunes, Quirky Lyrics angel dust for sure! Songs I never get tired of hearing, even after years and years. Mike Patton is a complicated one-man orchestra not out ther for to make the easily digestible. Subtle musical intricacies and weaving insrtuments, I hear something new every time. Composition wise, I'd rank him up there with Mozart. A few songs fall a little short, but where they're on, they're very on.

too freakin good.......2007-07-18

ozzy seems to know how to resurect his career very well. after sabbath gave him the boot he blew the lid off with blizzard of ozz and diary of a madman. then came the so-so records bark at the moon and ultimate sin. just as things start going downhill he comes out with this metal masterpiece. no filler, all rock. highlights are mr tinkertrain, i dont want to change the world, time after time, mama im coming home and of course no more tears. if you like ozzy or black sabbath then this is a must own. unless you are living in a cave you have probably heard most of these songs on the radio.

good but not the best.......2007-06-02

I don't like this album, but is my own opinion, for me no rest for the wicked is more good.

No More Tears Ozzy O........2007-03-12

Eight of the 10 tracks on the cd are excellent, it was a good purchase for me!

It's about his recovery.......2007-01-12

As far as lyrics go, "No More Tears" is Ozzy's best. In certain songs, there are glimmering hints of how honest he was with himself while getting clean. That takes courage.

"Road to Nowhere" summarizes a moral inventory Ozzy takes during his recovery days. While cryptic, the guilt and shame he expresses is balls-out honest and well put.

In "I Don't Want to Change the World," he sets his boundaries with religious hypocrites. But what stands out is his own relationship with God.

If you're expecting Sabbath, "Blizzard," or "Diary," put your expectations away. This album is unique, yet still light years ahead of so many more albums out there. As is to be expected with every album by Ozzy and band.

ozzy rules!.......2007-01-09

absolutely one of the BEST ozzy albums ever! Zaks playing style really comes out on this and you can hear the beginnings of his now legendary musical talents on this album. Its awesome.

Album Description

"No More Kings is for anyone who's ever wanted a talking car." - Pete Mitchell.

You'll be finding snippets of No More Kings' catchy songs about zombies, Charlie Brown characters, Knight Rider, and The Karate Kid stuck in your head long after you've listened to them. Their music echoes this ability to swing between the silly and the serious.

No More Kings, their self-titled first major release, is an explosive party-in-a-box, full of pop culture references and quirky lyrics. "This album is very character-driven, very story-based," says front man Pete Mitchell.

Pete Mitchell calls No More Kings' first album "a thank-you letter to the 80's", a perfect theme for someone who claims that he (and his music) were "born in the 70's, raised in the 80's, and perfected in the 90's".

Whimsy Meets Rock.......2007-07-19

Peteyhead Mitchell and his writing partner Neil Robbins have crafted deeply catchy tunes from the pieces of our culture others have discarded. Neil is a master of classic rock n roll riffs. Pete's lyrics provide the whimsical touch. The combination is an album with numerous hooks to grab the listener.

Any fan of Bare Naked Ladies or They Might Be Giants will recognize a rare, competent blend of fun and a great groove.

Amazingly Good.......2007-06-13

I'm amazed at how well-done this album is. The songwriting and production are excellent and each song has a distinct flavor. In general, the songs are light and playful and make many references to 80's pop culture. I highly recommend this album.

No More Kings are awesome ........2007-05-09

This albumn is fantastic. I love every track. I have had it playing in my car constantly for the last few weeks, and i'm still not sick of it!! Strongly recommend this to anyone interested in a band that appears to be the love-child of Maroon 5 and Tenacious D, yet still maintains an awesomely distinct flavour.

Love the video; love the album.......2007-05-01

Listen to it.
Buy it.
If you are related to me; expect it for Christmas this year.

GREAT.......2007-04-10

As some one who grew up in the 80s i have to say this is a fun flash back. And their video for sweep the leg is one of the best I have seen in a long time:)

My First Time.......2007-04-01

I remember, back when my older brother got his first car and popped this cd in when I rode with him. I fell in love with this cd so much that I knew when the skips happened(and still do till this day) and was sad when he lost this cd. Years Later, I had my own collection but it was missing something. So I searched and searched and finally found it! I've seen the movie but I will always love this album. There's heavy, hard, laid back, funky, and truly bizzare, all are great.

Judgement Night.......2007-03-12

I hated the music on this CD. The only track I liked on the whole CD was track 2 and I love it - I play that track over and over.

Good soundtrack from a forgettable film. .......2007-01-10

If I remember correctly around the time this movie came out is when the film industry started to realize with a good soundtrack packed full of kick butt artists they could really draw in larger crowds and make more money off soundtrack sales. Well, this CD is one of many victims of that film industry marketing genius that came about in the early 90's that took some great artists of the day, and in my opinion made one of the must have movie soundtracks of its time for anyone who is a fan of rap, rock, metal, or alternative.

Sure the music itself is now going on 14 years old, but at the time this was one earth moving rap-rock masterpiece considering that the now classic Aerosmith/Run DMC and Anthrax/Public Enemy duets were the only real previous rap-rock collaborations in the public eye.

For the general Joe public I would say keep browsing and save your money. As for the fans of some of the artists that just need to hear those extra songs, like myself, or the genre that might be interested in hearing the tracks I would say go for it, but like any other CD not every song is a winner.

Forgot about this one.......2006-02-20

The movie sucked, but the soundtrack was a concept album that sadly went unnoticed. Before morons like Limp Biskit and Linkin Park ruined the rap/rock genre, this was probably the best all-around album of its kind, up there with the first couple Rage Against the Machine records. Standouts include what I consider Helmet's best song ever, "Just Another Victim," which is really two songs cut in half, with House of Pain borrowing the riff to make the latter minutes into great old-school hip hop. Slayer and Ice-T, Cypress Hill with Pearl Jam (the latter whom I usually HATE), and a brilliantly disturbing teaming of Faith No More and Boo-Yaa Tribe for "Another Body Murdered" (the first FNM song recorded after they fired original guitarist Jim Martin) are among the tightest and most intense here. Just stay away from the retarded title track by Onyx and Biohazard, it blows.

The only good rap-rock ever recorded.......2005-12-11

Good rap-rock is rarer than giant diamonds. This here is the Koh-i-Noor of the genre. What?
