5.0 out of 5 stars
I Love it,
By Maryam Sheikh (Lawrenceville, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Audio CD)
Jon Brion makes me re-think everything that went on in the beautiful movie. Especially "Theme", and Row." They remind me of the movie, and since the movie is so great, this soundtrack makes me feel good.

Significant due to Jon Brion's compositions,

This review is from: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Audio CD)
Jon Brion's compositions on this CD are phenomenally delicate. They possess a kind of ethereal beauty that I have trouble explaining, particularly "Phone Call," "Spotless Mind," "Collecting Things," and "Bookstore." I liken the feeling I get from listening to watching the sun rise, or looking up at rays of light from underwater. While I'm not a fan of some of the other songs on here -- those by The Polyphonic Spree and Willowz especially -- there are a few other gems, like Beck's "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes," and Electric Light Orchestra's more upbeat "Mr. Blue Sky." As some others have said, I think Jon Brion's music could stand alone. Perhaps it would have been a better move to make a score rather than a soundtrack. However, it doesn't dampen the effects of his music -- it's worth the buy.

Disappointing,
By JR (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Audio CD)
This music may have been very effective in the movie but it doesn't translate at all well to CD. I like Jon Brion and enjoyed his score for Punch Drunk Love but ultimately I found this soundtrack very dull. It's disappointing since the music was one of the things that really stood out for me in the movie. The main problem is that most of the pieces are too short, a few don't go for more than about ten seconds. This is annoying and doesn't allow you really get a feel for the material. Even the lengthier parts are generally cut off just as they are beginning to get interesting, the best example being track 3 (the name escapes me). The only redeeming features of this soundtrack are the first track, "theme", which is an absolutely lovely piano-based piece (I just wish this would have been repeated in different variations, as is the case with a lot of other soundtracks) and the contribution from Beck. I am a big fan of Beck and it's a really good song, though not as good as anything on his Sea Change Album. Some of the other songs just don't fit in with the mood of the score and it all just adds up to a very uneven listening experience. Make sure you give it a listen before you buy as I'm not sure that it would have much replay value for a lot of listeners.
