I really like this soundtrack - a return to form for Menken, with Donna Murphy's "Mother Knows Best" being a standout song.
Return to form from what? When did he deviate from his form?

Can this soundtrack be arranged chronologically?
10,1,3,2 (Cut from the film, I believe, glad they left it on here), 9,4,11,5,12,8,13,6,14,15,7,16,17,18,19,20
While a little goofy chronologically, this album is leaps and bounds better than The Princess and the Frog soundtrack which had short cues combined with totally unrelated longer ones including a song reprise slapped in the middle of random underscore! These tracks are individual cues and seem to be unedited (except for the prologue, which is condensed). My only gripe after figuring out the arrangement is realizing that some great stuff was left off of here, including some really fun comedy score from when Rapunzel is interrogating Flynn and the fantastic Menken action music from the river dam sequence and the following suspense music in the cave! I'm really sad that stuff isn't on here. And I have to say that, while I loved the movie, I initially felt the songs were a little soft and not as memorable as ones past, but after listening to the cd a few times, they're really clicking with me, so I definitely see these as becoming classics for the kids who grow up watching this movie a hundred scant times.

Thank you! Good to read it's not another Princess and the frog.

Though I don't think it's on the same level as his earlier masterpieces, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE LITTLE MERMAID, nevertheless I enjoyed TANGLED as a film and score very much.
And I've been playing the big song, "I See the Light," over and over again since then; so I must like it.
I'd suspected this effort might stylistically be an attempt to capture the SHREK crowd, but it doesn't have any of the contemporary references so rife in the SHREK movies, all of which will date badly.
Instead, TANGLED creates its own classic, fairytale atmosphere, and it works beautifully.
And the sequence of the lanterns is pure animated enchantment!
Definitely recommended.
BTW: See it in 3D; they really know how to use the depth dimension in this one...

Wow!
I wasn't expecting much from this soundtrack, but both the score and songs blew me away. Well, the score moreso than the songs, but it definitely sounds as though Alan Menken still has the magic touch!
This album has PLENTY of score as well - 32 minutes, compared to 23 minutes for the songs. It's half and half, and it makes a great listening experience.
The score is big, powerful, thematic. I'm not normally into musical numbers, but I could get through the songs... I even enjoyed some of them, especially "I've Got a Dream".
If you get a chance, check out this soundtrack. It's a must-have now, IMO.
