Title: Not the artistic travesty it has been made out to be
Review: I debated whether to give this soundtrack three or four stars. I decided on four because while the really good performances do not outnumber the mediocre ones, the good songs are REALLY good.Case in point: Barry Gibb's performance of "A Day In the Life." It is worth the price of the album (or the download). Second case in point: Earth, Wind & Fire's take on "Got To Get You Into My Life." Terrific. Peter Frampton does not turn in a bad performance on any song.The mediocre performances, and they are there, aren't "bad," just unmemorable. George Martin does not deserve any special praise for the arrangements, either. He's not at his best here. But the album is still worthwhile.P.S.: I haven't seen the film yet, but I intend to. What the world needs now is cheese.
