Something lighter now. Danny Elfman brings another one of his choir-driven Burton teengoth melting soundtracks. This is still relatively new, unfortunately it sounds pretty much the same as his previous work, but less good actually. You'll find out he repeats the main theme far too often and seems to want to stay on the path he already walked upon. He isn't open for change anymore, I think he's far too set in his ways now to still come up with something fresh and interesting. It all started going downhill with the Charlie & the Chocolate factory soundtrack and he hasn't been able to pull himself straight up until now.
It's not that his previous work is bad, au contraire, those were instant classics, but you can't keep composing the same routines over and over again, that would be like when a painter will only paint the same geometric figures, but only in different colours and texture.
There were nonetheless still some enjoyable parts, but the "Alice.. oooOOOHH Alice" got quite a bit annoying.
