Some tracks, like 'Making Christmas' by Rise Against, sound awkward at first coming from just one vocalist, instead of an ensemble of monsters. If you've seen the movie, but you aren't usually a fan of Korn or The All-American Rejects, you might be surprised at what you find yourself enjoying. Besides just being a fun listen by itself, it can be a good crash course in Nightmare mythology, without having to sit and watch the movie. If you've never seen the movie, don't write this album off too quickly. You probably already illegally downloaded all your favorites tracks from Nightmare Revisited 2 years ago. If you're one of those hardcore Nightmare fans, that still hasn't gotten tired of singing the songs with your friends after 15 years, and couldn't imagine a visit to Disneyland without your Jack Skellington hoodie, I'm not going to bother to recommend this album to you. I would go as far as to say that this album is a lot of fun, but it's not for everyone. But you clicked on a link for a full review, and by God you're getting one. Now that you know the formula, I could probably stop right here, and you'd have a pretty good idea of whether this album is for you. Review: An album released by Disney to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the movie Nightmare Before Christmas, with songs from the original movie covered by modern rock, alternative, and nu-metal artists.
