I loved this movie and the soundrack works while you're watching it, but to listen to it alone....well I didn't really like it, but others may.

4.0 out of 5 stars A classic of its kind, Jun 13 2007

I've never heard anything else by Paul Williams but this soundtrack to the cult movie stands on its own as a remarkable testament to love gone awry. It follows the story of a man willing to sell his soul for one more chance, a tale of beauty and the beast and Faust and the devil, brilliantly scored and cheesily acted. All the music and lyrics were penned by Williams. My favorite line is the chorus from "The Hell Of It": Good for nothing / Bad in bed / Nobody likes you / You're better off dead / Goodbye Goodbye. Nice and depressingly loving. It also deals with the idea of stolen music (Celine Dion).

A classic piece of work by Paul Williams. Love the movie, the songs fit very well with the script. Hell of it is my fav.Like a history of 70's music.
