Customer Reviews
The Best of the Saga, But Still Flawed ...
In my personal opinion, I believe Empire brought in more themes than all of the original trilogy. There's so many motifs used in this score than from the first, that it spans throughout the entire saga. While many agree that this is the best Star Wars -- and I agree -- there are a few flaws Williams hasn't approached properly. Some of the tracks are really, really boring. Some however are grand. Some I liked: * The Asteroid Field * Imperial March * Betrayal at Bespin and so on ... Others, mainly the Yoda themes, are what I'm talking about in lagging. Nonetheless, Empire's score is the best of the saga, and though it is still flawed, it is a classic that will stand the test of time. Buy this. Enjoy.
Classic Williams
This is a great album, probably one of my favorite scores by John Williams. However, it's unfortunate (and I'm not blaming iTunes) that this is just a partial album. You can still get some great songs, but the music from the Empire Strikes Back was truly a score -- something that's meant to be listened to from beginning to end. It has a type of continuity that this partial album lacks. Regardless, there's some wonderful music hear. But for those of you who want to dig deeper, consider purchasing the entire album. You won't regret it.
Partial Album????
Why, you might wonder, did this album get only 3 stars from me? Don't get me wrong. I love the music from ESB, it's the best of the Star Wars saga. But this is only a partial album! The full version contains 18 tracks, including the MAIN TITLES! Plus, Why oh why is the Genre labeled "pop"? This is clearly soundtrack. P.S. The full version is also available on iTunes, just check to make sure it has all 18 tracks before buying. It also costs $18.99 but it is worth the extra $9.
