Sweet Godiva in a Bubblegum Pop world

by wunderkind44 , Jul 18 '00
Pros: Wonderful lyrics
Cons: There's only 13 songs!
Could there be a better soundtrack out there?

Aimee Mann sings nine of the 13 wonderful songs on this soundtrack. You can't go wrong.

It's Joni Mitchell meets Fiona Apple when you put this disc in your CD player. The lyrics are...

The Queen of "up the establishment" continues to reign

by novemberme , Jun 23 '01
Pros: Proof that even the best can get better!
Cons: The addition of songs by other artists at the end of the album.
Before I start, I am going to admit that I am an Aimee Mann junkie. Since the first moment she stood up and yelled "He said, SHUT UP, he said, SHUT UP" on MTV, I have been an avid, if not rabid, fan. As I sit here looking at my stack of every CD she...

One word: INCREDIBLE

by verbalgirl , Oct 30 '00
Pros: everything
Cons: "Dreams" -- I mean, come ON...
From the moment I put this CD in my player, I knew it wouldn't be coming out for a long time. This is an amazing album from an amazing movie... what more do I need? Aimee Mann is an amazingly talented artist, and I totally understand why director Paul...

The Music=The Movie=The Music

by wrand , Aug 11 '00
Pros: Great Lyrics, Gives A Better Understanding of the Movie
Cons: Tracks at the end are forgettable
Okay this CD has a really interesting story behind it. There is a song on this CD "Deathly" which contains the line "Now that I've met you would you object to never seeing me again" That single line was the inspiration for the original movie Magnolia....

Aimee Mann helps delivers mature, emotional soundtrack

by mfontan , Dec 27 '00
Pros: Aimee Mann's nine engaging, lyrical songs
Cons: Other tracks seem out of place
GRADE: A-

It’s hard to believe, but many people once considered Aimee Mann a one hit wonder.

During the mid-1980s, she and fellow members of the band ’Til Tuesday achieved worldwide fame with their hit "Voices Carry," but...

If you like Sheryl Crow or Sarah McLachlan, check this out..

by JediKermit Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 03 '01
Pros: Aimee Mann in an amazing album
Cons: Supertramp? What the????
Or even if you don't. I like some Sheryl Crow, but Sarah McLachlan puts me right to sleep. Nice voice, but I'm not a fan of her songs. Aimee Mann, on the Magnolia Soundtrack, has made a nice combination of fast and slower paced songs that I find...

"Now that I've met you..."

by wandajune6 , Oct 18 '00
Pros: incredible music, crucial to the film
Cons: none
One of my earliest reviews was of the movie "Magnolia." I spent the majority of the review raving about the soundtrack, so I figure that it is about time that I put the review of the soundtrack into the correct category.

I LOVE...

Aimee In Bloom

by pmills1210, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 08 '00
Pros: Good overview of Mann in the nineties
Cons: Only nine Aimee Mann songs? Not enough!
The Aimee Mann songs included on the soundtrack of "Magnolia" are a perfect fit for Paul Thomas Anderson's fascinating film about a group of people struggling to find peace and belonging in life. In the last decade, Mann has been trying to find...

For the Sake of Momentum...

by theemu , Jul 10 '00
Pros: Beautiful, moving material. Captures the movie perfectly.
Cons: Gabrielle's "Dreams." Omission of some film score.
I saw Magnolia with the full knowledge that Paul Thomas Anderson had based it around the songs of Aimee Mann. Now, I'm not a huge fan of Aimee Mann's type of music. I've never been a folk rock guy, but I've always had a respect for Mann. Unlike other...

An excellent soundtrack

by Refined_edge , Sep 05 '00
Pros: beautifully written songs
Cons: none
I've expressed in a couple of other reviews my love for movie soundtracks. This is the newest addition to my collection, and a new favorite.

I didn't know anything about Aimee Mann or her music before I saw "Magnolia", but this...

Best Soundtrack of 99

by Gole42 , Dec 26 '00
Pros: good music
Cons: none
Magnolia was a good movie made great thanks in part to an outstanding soundtrack that I consider the best of 1999. Aimee Mann did all the songs for the soundtrack, very reminiscent of how Simon and Garfunkel did all of the songs for a certain best...

A Worthy Soundtrack! Way to go, Mann!

by mikeg23 , May 09 '00
Pros: Likeable and enjoyable all the way through
Cons: addition of Supertramp songs seems to interrupt the mood
Aimee Mann's songs accurately reflect the moody and feeling of the phenomenal film, yet they also stand successfully on their own. Unlike most film soundtracks, this collection of songs by Mann (with a couple of Supertramp songs and Gabrielle's DREAMS)...

Play it again, Anderson

by Bailar , Jul 14 '00
Pros: Everything
Cons: maybe too emotional that it might seem corny
I knew I had to have this soundtrack from moment I heard "Wise Up" in the movie and at the end of the movie "Save Me". I never heard of Aimee Mann until this soundtrack game out, but I must say, she is very talented with her soft...

Wise Up And Buy This Album

by kidhendrix , Oct 21 '00
Pros: Extremely creative, original songs by Aimee Mann, in addition to a very cool cover of "One"
Cons: A lack of depth towards the end of the album, especially in Gabrielle's "Dreams"
A great soundtrack is an album that is full of enjoyable songs that drive or compliment the film it accompanies. Many soundtracks have enjoyable songs, but they contribute little to the film (i.e. "Godzilla"). Every so often though, a...

Opera's Diverse Soundtrack

by wlswarts wlswarts is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 04 '06
Pros: A nice mix of Aimee Mann's songs and classics.
Cons: Short, Thematically Homogenous and Depressing
"Magnolia" remains, to date, my second favorite movie of all time (right behind "Brazil"). In effect, "Magnolia" acts as an opera, with various storylines paralleling each other through loss, forgiveness, and love. In the movie, the soundtrack is ...
