Almost Alice CD Review
About the CD: Out of the rabbit hole from Wonderland comes 15 NEW tracks from today's MADdest artists. Almost Alice features a unique collection of today's favorite alternative artists and the next round of superstars bubbling up from the underground. This is a companion piece to Danny Elfman's soundtrack score. Modern rock and alternative artists have long been inspired by the classic Alice in Wonderland tale and the cultural impact of Tim Burton. Almost Alice is the musical expression of those influences.
Our Take: We're really mixed on our feelings for this soundtrack. The Danny Elfman score was a home-run, but this one is hit and miss. It features great performances inspired by the movie from a few bands like Franz Ferdinand Robert Smith. The soundtrack also features what is, in our opinions, horrible music. Low points include tracks from Owl City, Wolfmother and Avril Lavigne. To be fair, we're not fans of their normal music either.
This CD is great for collectible purposes, but only about half of it is audible. The other half can be used to drive away unwanted neighbors or attract stray dogs!
