 - DisappointedI was a great fan of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe score, so was very much looking forward to this release. Unfortunately, i'm pretty disappointed. One of the reasons I enjoyed the original score so much was for it's calm, celtic-like melodies in the first half or so of the score. This score has a similar layout, but it focuses a lot more on the battle/action tracks, which i'm not particularly fond of. I can completely understand why this is the case, as the film is a lot darker than the first and i've heard it contains a lot more action. This would be great if these tracks weren't so repetitive, sounding like the typical Media Ventures action cues we've heard so many times before. And even by the half way point these tracks start to drag, and the overall feel is that of hope for an original track some time soon. However, perhaps for someone new to the genre and not having heard the first (a lot of the music on this CD sounds like rehashes of tracks from the first, which I guess is fair enough considering it is of course the same series of films) they would find a lot to enjoy here. There still are some great tracks, the first 4 or so are a great listen. However, for me, after that is just gets repetitive and boring. It also dosn't help having read before hand, this may or may not be true, that the composer - Harry Gregson-Williams was bored himself when composing the score. It definately shows. Rating:  - Very DisappointedI am very disappointed because I bought this album only for the Switchfoot song "This is Home." I love this song and couldn't find it anywhere else. When I got the CD and played it, it is not the original version of the song that I have heard on the radio. It is a very slow version of the song on this soundtrack. Now I still do not have the song I like and don't like instrumental music. That is very disappointing. I just wanted to let others know that if you're buying it for the Switchfoot song it is not the same and save your money. Rating:  - IMages rush backAs with any soundtrack to a movie you love, Prince Caspian delivers on rushing those images back to your mind as you listen to this beautiful score. Rating: - Couldn't be worseI ordered The Chronicles of Narna: Prince Caspian and received a dirty used copy of The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. I will be returning it but doubt I'll ever be made whole. Will never order from this seller again.n Rating:  - such great musicThis is such beautiful music. There are such haunting melodies. And I really like one of the last songs, 'The Call', by Regina Spektor. It really speaks.
