The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The movie may concern itself with lawless pirating, but the music, standing alone, does not.

    Beautiful Music!

    Highly recommended. Nothing at all objectionable, as it's all orchestrational music. It's beautiful, exciting, and fun, fun, fun! You must listen to it! Anyone who has seen the movie as heard the amazing music, but even if you haven't trust me. You'll love it.

    Good, but Dead Man's Chest, and At World's End are better...

    Personally, this is my least favorite of the three soundtracks. It just seems that the tunes are kind of repetitive. It's the same few tunes over and over and over again. And there isn't as much variety in instruments as in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. Don't get me wrong, it's a great CD, but if I had a choice, I'd go for At World's End.

    This kind of music just makes you feel better

    When I get home from school, I listen to this music and do homework, I literraly love this music. It just makes you feel better. One time I was feeling very bad and then I woke up with this music. Very good stuff. I don't really like the movie, but the music is excellent. I listen to it a LOT
