When this cd arrived in the mail I was very excited to pop this into my cd player and start to listen to it. When it started playing I loved it with the first track.

The composer has done a great job with this score.
If you are a fan of Shrek and the scores to the movies this score is for you. I recommend highly!

This is an awesome soundtrack it is enjoyable and fun to listen to. The best songs on this cd are all of them
