Amazon.com: Director Joel Schumacher, who went on to helm many big-budget, tiny-intellectual movies, gave us an 1980s update of the story of the vampire. It was all hip, good-looking, and tremendously vacuous. Similarly, the music doesn't break any new ground or offer much that's timeless. INXS' collaborations with Jimmy Barnes are fine, for instance, but Foreigner vocalist Lou Gramm's "Lost in the Shadows (The Lost Boys)" verges on the painful in a way that only overwrought 1980s music can. Roger Daltrey's take on Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" is by the numbers, and so wasted. It's only Echo and the Bunnymen's cover of The Doors' "People Are Strange" that warrants much attention, even if it's, erm, buried. --Scott Wilson
Customer Reviews:
- old soundtracks: I got this in a timely manner and have LOVED it! Brought back all sorts of old memories!!
- Artists names wrong!: As of 12/10/2008, almost every artist name is incorrect in the track listing. Fortunately, the reviewers are more "on it" than whoever put the original listing together.
- A few great songs, a few duds: This soundtrack has a few great songs, but also a few duds. So, keep that in mind when purchasing.
- Very Quick!: The sender on this was very prompt in mailing this CD. The CD was in great shape too.
