Editorial Review:
The much anticipated follow-up to Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, Magnolia features a specially orchestrated soundtrack, largely written and performed by Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday member and sadly overlooked solo artist). Mann's voice has always been a suitable vehicle for conveying emotional turmoil and indelible sadness, and several tracks here ("Build That Wall," "You Do," "Driving Sideways") do so with the rich melodicism that informs her best work. Producer Jon Brion's sprightly horn arrangements for "Momentum" are an unexpected (though not completely unwelcome) splash of cold water. Only Mann's cover of the Harry Nilsson-penned Three Dog Night hit "One" backfires, as it simply doesn't deliver the same effective climax as the original. The two Supertramp tracks from their Breakfast in America LP tacked on at album's end are incongruous (though they cut down the degrees of separation between them and Mann to an incredible one!). However, for anyone with an interest in Mann's melodic songwriting, there are eight worthy originals waiting for you. --Rob O'Connor

Rating:  - A classic gem of a soundtrack...
I absolutely love this soundtrack. The perfect soundtrack to go with a perfect film. Ever since I saw the film back in 1999, it instantly became one of my all time favorites, and shortly after, I bought the soundtrack. I can't say enough about it. It's beautiful. Aimee Mann is a genius! Her songs are so powerful, and I can see why P.T. Anderson wanted to adapt her songs into a screenplay. Buy it from Amazon NOW!
Rating: - Amazing from beginning to end
The tracks on this album flow so well. The transitions are great. I've loved Aimee Mann since her 'Til Tuesday days, but can never get enough of her voice on this soundtrack.
Rating: - Mann....Oh Mann...
This review refers to the soundtrack of "Magnolia"(CD)
see below for link to the film score
"Magnolia" was a one of a kind film. Not only for it's amazing cast, unique story and great filming, but the soundtrack is one that will touch you to your very core. Aimee Mann's words and music are stirring, and tell a story of life that is so relateable, that P.T. Anderson wrote the screenplay based on her works, all the different character stories that converge stemming from the character ... Read More
Rating: - Magnolia Soundtrack
I love every song on this CD, Aimee Mann did a great job on the score. I would recomend this CD highly.
Rating: - I LOVE IT
Aimmee Mann is an absolutely talented artist, and her contributions to Magnolia are of nothing less than what is to be expected of her. Each of her songs has its own taste, its own feel, and its own uniqueness to it. She definately doesn't try to overdo any of her songs on the popularity factor.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of the soundtrack is fantastic too. Hell, "Dreams" is now my top inspirational song of all time, yes, past the Rocky song "Eye of the Tiger."
If you're a fan of Aimee Mann, ... Read More
