Customer Reviews of Road to El Dorado
It's Worth El Dorado In Itself! Versatility rules in this soundtrack - the conventional Elton John love-ballad sound doesn't adamantly ring away with stiff sentimentality. It's fresh, fun, and a wonderful makeover from his albums of the '70s. From the energetic start in "El Dorado", to heartfelt poignancy in "Friends Never Say Goodbye", to even amusing "The Lion King" rock in "16th Century Man", it's all a package of musical talent and culture (from Spanish to Native American) that's more than you'd have bargained for (after all, only five of the new eleven songs appeared in the movie)!
And there really isn't anything lacking in the jazz remix of the movie's original "It's Tough To Be A God" - Randy Newman still sparks with fervor in his duet with Elton John, and the bluish instrumentation accompanying it gives the track a sensual conclusion. And "Trust Me" turns out as a very unique track, with the odd sound of Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" sizzling around.
Of course, Hans Zimmer does a great job on the scoring, along with John Powell - I especially enjoyed "The Ball Game" in "Wonders of the New World" with that modern rugby touch to it. With this much in line, anyone can expect - this is worth its weight in heavy-weight gold!
Weak, pathetic, don't buy it
I'd give the Elton part two stars and the score is actually very good. This is Elton's blandest, weakest most flat sounding album ever. It's even worse than the Big Picture. Elton's gone to singing with a sob in his voice, his backing vocalists are woefully wailing oh and ah and all the 'oh poor old me' lyrics from Tim Rice, for me, easily the worst lyricist Elton has had. 'The panic in me' is the worst song I've ever heard. How do these songs relate to the story of 'El Dorado?' anyway. And yet in the middle there are a few gems, 'The trail we blaze' is an oustanding folk song, '16th century man' rocks and has a lyric that is not only one of only two decent lyrics on the album, but it's incredible, 'Just because we're Hispanic, don't mean we're oceanic, quite frankly we've had water up to here!' The only other decent lyric was the cute 'It's tough to be a God' And don't discount the beautiful music of 'Queen of cities' or the title track which is the only decent pop song on it. SOmeday out of the blue is actually qutie good but again, what dreadful lyrics. But the rest is a weepy voiced Elton, pathetic over-exaggerated easy listening sound accompanied by lyrics wallowing in self-pity and meaninglessness. The scores are very good songs, however.
