CD Reviews

One of the best albums of all time

just some guy | San Ramon, CA United States | 02/19/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The original concept album itself is a stunner, and this box set is a wonderful toy for the serious fan. The alternate version of songs and outtakes, in addition to the beautiful coffee table book, make a second (or third or fourth...) purchase worth it. The musicianship, the composition, and the performances are all first rate. I have loved this album for 25 years, and this new version only makes me love it more."

Good Music Lasts Forever

ScifiSlacker | Scifislacker.com | 02/20/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Get immersed into the world of HG Wells' novel War of the Worlds with Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds. Originally released in 1978, Jeff's music has had many fans and has grown to become a classic. Now a whole new generation will be exposed to this galactic experience. And they will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly the music will pull them into the story a create a whole new world from HG Wells words.

At times the music seems a little dated [at one point it is very reminiscent of Logan's Run or the disco scenes from Buck Roger's in the 25th Century], but that feeling quickly disappears as one becomes so engulfed in the music and what it is telling us above and beyond the words of the narration.

Fans of the both the book and films will find this to be a remarkable addition to the entire War of the Worlds experience.
