They ruined the Mamma Mia! soundtrack...

[dennilfloss]

It's absolute garbage! :|

The voices are so overproduced compared to the DVD. There is no emotion anymore but someone went crazy for the huge-empty-hall-with-reverberating-walls equalizer settings. Everything that was so nice and fresh about the singing in the movie is gone. It's like David Foster, Yanni and John Tesh got together to do the orchestration, the singers were told to sing it fast and loud, and then the result was given to the engineer with the ubermost postdoctorate in loudness wars. Barely any audible dynamic range. It's all loud and the instruments drown the singers. Even The Winner Takes It All sounds monotone. The only song that resembles a bit its movie rendition is Does Your Mother Know, thanks mostly to Christine Baranski.:heart:

My two DVDs are arriving supposedly Tuesday but there's no way I'm buying the soundtrack unless I ever have some roaming hyenas to scare away. :frown:

I am.

I'm sure you feel more comfortable out of that closet now that you've admitted you had the cd, saw the movie, and now bought the sound track.

 

[dennilfloss]

Uh? I said there's no way I'm buying the soundtrack. It's horrid.

The movie, however, is awesome, the new Xanadu!

Or.... Perhaps Nowheremom killed off dennifloss, faked her death, and assumed his identity. :Q

Haven't seen her in a long while, she must still be hot judging by your heart next to her.

Christine's in a Broadway musical nowadays. She has a lower jaw kinda like Ron Perlman's but she's still very sexy,

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. ...

 

[KeithP]

Why don't you just rip the audio from the DVD to get the songs you want?

That's what I intend to do now.

 

[pontifex]

i meant surprised that you are posting this.

 

[TallBill]

I don't get what draws you to Anandtech. Your personality doesn't fit into the mold.

 

[dennilfloss]

This may come as a shock but why should I spare you?

THERE IS NO MOULD!

In that case, why are you so fucking weird and creepy?

Why don't you just buy the original ABBA album rather than a warmed-over movie redo of a broadway show redo of the music? It's pretty good music and is a damn pity to hear it be butchered by Pierce Brosnan et al.

you mean like how someone could ruin dog crap.
