About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Kids have always been drawn to the dark side, from the works of Edward Gorey to the truly grim Grimm fairy tales. Now, don't be worried, parents: A little black humor and some dreadful plotlines will not make a kid a monster...we think. On that note, get your stereo ready for the dark, creepy, and serious score to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Based on the bestselling kids' book series of the same name, the movie adaptation stars Jim Carrey as the conniving Count Olaf, forever scheming to get his hands on the poor Baudelaire orphans' inheritance. Mirroring the film's dark cinematography, five-time Oscar nominee Thomas Newman (The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty) sets the tone for the many ensuing unfortunate events. Newman hones his propensity for the dramatic with his trademark use of simple piano phrasing, set against a magical backdrop of synthesizers. The music suggests that doom lies perpetually around the corner -- and with Count Olaf constantly badgering the three sorry sods, it's only fitting. But the disc also packs its share of fast-paced tracks, such as "The Reptile Room" and "The Marvelous Marriage," which reflect the onscreen chaos. Delightfully orchestrated and perfectly moody, Newman's score is sure to gratify fans -- much to the dismay of the cantankerous Count Olaf. Amy Barkat, Barnes & Noble

October 13, 2007: This has to be my favorite soundtrack of all time. Nearly every song on this album is outstanding, but most importantly, it contains Drive Away, my favorite song of all time. I swear, that thing is like the elixir of magic. If you loved the movie, or in general like soundtracks, this is defiantly the one to get.

March 22, 2007: I liked the soundtrack and the movie and thought the music was well done and fitted the books and the movie from which we heard from. I recommend this and all the tracks especially the ending was one of my most favorites.
