Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Donnie Darko   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was drawn to buy this CD because of hearing Michael's arrangement and Gary Jules rendition of "Mad World" which was originally recorded by Tears for Fears way back when. I glad I did. The music was written as the underscore for a Science Fiction movie by the same name and now I really want to see this film. The music is other worldly, ethereal and strange in a good way!

2) just wanted "mad world"   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
loved the mad world track from the Gears of War video game. was hoping the rest of the album was as cool, but it is all instrumentals. a little disappointing, i must admit.

3) Gary Jules' remake of Mad World is superb!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Gary Jules' remake of this great past favorite (Mad World) is superb! The accompanying tracks on this album are not my style, but I didn't buy this for the other tracks. For that I feel this score is quite impressive.

4) Liked only one cut   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
I bought this CD for the song "Mad World". Unfortunately it was the only one I liked, but I've spent more money on dumber things.

5) Atmospheric and all-around cool.   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Michael Andrews is one of today's best composers. His score for the little-known sci-fi flick "Cypher" was brilliant, and although his music in Donnie Darko is never quite as good (after all, DD was one of his first real scoring jobs), it is a somber, weird, sometimes beautiful album.Andrews uses many bizarre non-musical instruments and female vocals to great effect, and creates an ambient, sad world that works regardless of your having seen the film.His song "Mad World" is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The disk isn't very long--just a little over thirty-seven minutes as I recall. But definitely recommended.
