Gorgeous, literate soundtrack:

Danny Elfman's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" transcends a movie some people didn't like for its dark view of holidays--even if you disliked the movie, you may like the CD because the music is so devilishly clever and literate. Elfman has managed to winningly combine the joy and purity of Christmas music with a darker look at this treasured holiday. The lyrics are terrific (innocently sung but baldly truthful) and the music swoops, soars, and turns back on itself with astonishing ease and imagination.... more info

Elfman + Burton = Weird Excelence!!!:

When I first see "The Nightmare Before Christmas", the first thought I had was "This is weird! But is Excelent!!" Of course, I had to bought the soundtrack, (I've always been a big fan of Danny Elfman and Tim Burton, and I have a big Soundtrack collection)and I fell in love since the first note. You don't need to see the movie to enjoy this CD, is just the greatest (and extrangest) acoustic experience you'll ever have!! The voices are perfectly cast, the music make you feel inside of the weird world Burton... more info
