Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - John Adams Soundtrack
I watched a few of these episodes on HBO and couldn't get the theme song out of my head so I bought the soundtrack. Great ambient music, especially during patriotic events (eg. 4th of July, elections, etc.). Best tracks are 1, 2, and 5.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A Stirring, Emotional Score
After watching the excellent miniseries JOHN ADAMS on DVD, I knew I had to purchase the soundtrack. Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli have crafted a musical score for the film that packs the emotional power that was so much a part of David McCullough's book. From the patriotic "Opening Titles," a martial piece that somehow manages to convey that the drama it introduces is one of flesh and blood human beings, not wooden soldiers led by marble statues, to the soulful "Farewell to Adams," played in the film as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson lay dying on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the music proves itself as important a part of the overall quality of the film as the fine performances of the cast. Also notable are "John Says Goodbye" and "The Villa," which evoke the music of the period. I often listen to this disc in my workshop, which is perhaps the highest compliment I can pay to any piece of music.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Main title track flawed
Be warned that the mixing for the title track on the CD isn't the same as what you here in the show.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Music for John Adams - the Movie - Stands on It's Own and More
This sound track the work of composers Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli really evoke the emotions of the era and the people in their works.

Their work complements the efforts of David McCullough through his book and the people in the production of the movie, the actors, the cinematographers and all the others including Tom Hanks and the others in making of this series for which the soundtrack was created. John Adams (HBO Miniseries)

The music truly honors and complements the Founding Fathers, Founding Mothers and Founding Children for the sacrifices they made. Not only does the music accomplish these things, but it truly stands on its own.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - every american should watch and listen to this movie.
This was the best movie I've seen in a long time,ever since I saw The World's Fastest Indian, another good movie that movie critics missed. If it wasn't for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, we'd probably still be a British Colony. This country needs a 21st Century John Adams or Thomas Jefferson to lead this country, this country has no leadership. Excellent movie, thank God for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Have a box of kleenex ready for the last chapter. 5 star movie.
