Titan A.E.: Music From The Motion Picture (2000 Film)

Don't listen to what the bitter reviewers think, listen to the CD yourself, I assure you, you won't be disappointed. A wide range of styles and songs has been compiled to fully accent the movie, and that's why the CD appeals to a wide audience.

From the slow bittersweetness of the song, "Like Lovers" by Texas to the stronger alternative song by Electrasy, "Cosmic Castaway", the CD doesn't disappoint. The lyrics fit so well to the movie it's downright eerie. This is true for nearly all of the songs on the album, and the arrangements of the music complement the moods of the lyrics perfectly.

Plenty of imagery in the music on this CD. If you've seen the movie, scenes are conjured up as the music plays. Akima's song, "Like Lovers", truly amazes while Cale's theme, the triumphant alternative rock song, "It's My Turn To Fly" by The Urge, makes us feel as Cale does as he proves he was born to the stars as he races 'wake angels' through space...Read more

I've seen Titan A.E. eleven times(!), and it is my favorite animated film. I of course also just HAD to get the soundtrack! It is amazing, with a great mix of songs that is sure to have something for everyone. If you are merely impressed because of the bands and variety Fox has given us, the songs will have much more meaning after you've seen the film. It is excellent and each song fits the mood of the scene it is in.

*WARNING* *The following contains spoilers!!!*

All of these songs are in the film (contrary to what some reveiwers believe). The awesome Cosmic Castaway plays during the scene when we first see Cale full grown, and an outcast in the alien-dominated salvage station, Tau-14. The catchy Everything Under the Stars and funky Everybody's going to the Moon play in the backround during the cafeteria scenes. The End is Over, a fast-and-loud metal song, booms during the dangerous chase in which Cale and Korso flee the drej drones, setting the mood for danger,...Read more

I bought the soundtrack after seeing the movie and being taken by the alternative rock songs in it. To my disappointment, this cd has not just rock, but rap, reggae, and other styles. The end result is a mixed bag - it's definitely not a disc that anyone will play straight thru. The reason I still give it 4 stars, however is because there are at least 6 songs I like, and 2 I think are modern classics (Cosmic Castaway, and Not Quite Paradise are worth the $). Having said that, I restate that this cd will disappoint overall, but if you liked the songs actually in the movie (the rock songs) you have to have it.
