Hoping for more . . . a good soundtrack nonetheless.,

This review is from: Where the Wild Things Are: Original Songs By Karen O and the Kids (Audio CD)
When I first noticed this CD was being sold prior to the release of the film, I was very curious to hear it. After hearing some snippets on Amazon I was rather confused . . . What was with all the "kids" songs? Yes, I know this is a children's book/film, but I thought there would be a little more "incidental music". For instance, some mysterious music to accompany some of the more adventurous scenes (like the storm at sea etc.) Having said all that I finally saw the movie and now the music makes a bit more sense. It was just different than I expected. Parts of it actually sound like it could be by Bjork (although not quite as wild!). The CD is just 40 minutes and I guess I would have liked a bit more "traditional" soundtrack music as well.All in all a good CD, and a good (athough different) soundtrack.

Missing Song,
By
This review is from: Where the Wild Things Are: Original Songs By Karen O and the Kids (Audio CD)
We got the soundtrack because we were in love with the song from the previews. Unfortunately this song is not included in the soundtrack leaving us completely disappointed. Plus my daughter asked us to turn it off after the second song. (And she listens to all kinds of music, not just traditional kid's songs.) Not really engaging for kids and leaves me to suspect the movie won't appeal to her either though she loves the book.

My 3 year old loves it and so do I!,

This review is from: Where the Wild Things Are: Original Songs By Karen O and the Kids (Audio CD)
Language: English (change)We just received this from Amazon today. Ran to listen to it and danced for a long while! My daughter has been so excited for the movie and so I thought I would purchase this to keep her from asking me almost daily if its time to see the movie. I am also a HUGE fan of the Yea yea yeas and Karen O so I thought hands down I would enjoy this just as much as my little one and it was something we could enjoy with appropriate lyrics :) One thing I did not pay attention to is that it is only the Karen O songs, so if you are looking for the first trailer song by Arcade fire "wake up" you will not find it here. I suggest you buy the whole album of Arcade Fire...its great! Go get it if you cannot wait to see the film! You will be happy! 12 of 14 people found the following review helpful

"LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!",
By S.G.R. Black - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Where the Wild Things Are: Original Songs By Karen O and the Kids (Audio CD)
"Hi," softly whisperes Max."I could use a story," answers his mother. Thus begins the soundtrack to the highly anticipated release of the much beloved children's classic, 'Where The Wild Things Are.' Fortunately for us, the film is in good hands (Spike Jonze), and luckily, the soundtrack is in the hands of Karen O (of Yeah Yeah Yeahs)and The Kids. The result is a smartly composed fourteen track dream that successfully manages to capture and blend clever child-like tunes (kid choir and all) and sweetly crafted mature pop songs for those adults with an indie flare. Fear not. 'Where The Wild Things Are' ranks among the best soundtracks. It's stands confidently alongside Aimee Mann's 'Magnolia.' Charming, fun, and yes, quite adorable, 'WTWTA' boasts some endearing tracks. The obvious standout is 'All is Love.' With live children backing up Karen O (who sounds much like a kid herself), "L-O-V-E, it's a mystrey," never sounded so sweet. However, 'Worried Shoes' is a surprise heart-tugger as well. It's a wonderful and much welcome cover of Daniel Johnston's original. 'Capsize,' which doesn't appear in the film, is mysterious, almost tribal-like, and wild, which I suppose is quite appropriate. And who could forget 'Igloo' with it lovely humming accompanied by acoustics and twinkles? I haven't. The rest is simply logical; We hear a few exerpts from the film and the music is consistent throughout. It's a great strat to what could be motion picture triumph-let's hope! 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Where the Wild Things Are: Original Songs By Karen O and the Kids (Vinyl) (LP Record)
I just watched the short film on the making of the soundtrack and as it progressed I found myself leaning in further and further toward the screen of my computer. This soundtrack is just beautiful. It makes me feel like jumping on a trampoline and making a fort. Karen O is a goddess.
