The most remarkable aspect of the Edward Scissorhands score is its ability to tell a story in and of itself. The album takes you on the journey of this fable with masterful precision. Emotions are never absent --nor are the fairy tale thematic and choral elements. Rarely missing for longer than a few minutes, the boy's chorus brilliantly carries the innocence and imaginative elements of the story. Track 15, "The Grand Finale" is easily among the ten best cues of the modern era of film music, weaving the chorus, thematic development, and a heart-wrenching emotional climax into a dazzling, magical experience. Danny Elfman is the best at what he does, combine him with Tim Burton and you have pure magic the list is to long to name but just take The nightmare before christmas and Corpse Bridse, these 2 minds togeter will continue too bring us the best that there is to offer.

Advantages: Elfman's most magical creation and a true masterpiece Disadvantages: The Tom Jones song at the end
." The score is followed by an unfortunately horrific Tom Jones song "With These Hands," that completely destroys the magical feeling created by Elfman's music. It is another example of the stupidity of the producers who want to increase record sales by including these nonsensical songs that nobody really even cares about. Still there is no denying the beauty and poignant loveliness of Elfman's score. It is a masterpiece that continues to enchant 15 years later and remains, alongside Batman, possibly Elfman's best score ever, the beauty of which he has rarely managed to surpass. As Elfman said when scoring 1994's Black Beauty: "I love sad music;" and EdwardScissorhands truly is a great testament of this philosophy. A must-have in every single soundtrack collection and in many other CD collections as well. Highly and fondly recommended!
