From the OBJECTIVE reviewer...dull pop fluff from Elton and beyond his songs it's karaoke sing-a-long. Skip this and find the Elton songs on a greatest hits package unless you have kids who love karaoke and the movie.

i recently just digged this album out from my cd collection. and WOW, the music is AMAZING. i'm not a big soundtrack fan at all, but this one is a MUST. not to mention that the movie is simply the best disney film ever. the first song "circle of life" is a magnificent piece with awesome drums, vocals, and of course, unforgettable lyrics. Elton Johns' version of the song is probably THE best on the album in my opinion. Now i see why he's so popular in the Grammys. wonderful singer and song writer.
this takes true talent and there is no reason why anybody wouldn't appreciate this.

( im not a kid, i just don't want to give my email )
I have read probably every review on this soundtrack and on the other lion king soundtrack, and i see everyone talking about the songs like "cant wait to be king","can you feel the love tonight" and all those other songs with lyrics and how good they are blah blah blah.
I think the true spirit and grace of this album comes COMPLETELY from mista Hans Zimmer.
Only 4 tracks!!!??? i think thats a crime, and he should've said something. I own almost every one of his soundtracks and the lion kings is one of (if not THE best) soundtrack he's made. There was just to little. I think they should have made a completely seperate soundtrack for JUST HIS music, and the music from the EXPANDED scores, which i thought was screwed up becuase i REALLY like the music when simba and scar fought, and now i can't get it. Turst me, if he put ALL his songs on one album, it would be quite a decent size soundtrack and worth EVERY penny from every lion king fan out there. Zimmer was underated on this one, simple as that. So for all you out there who listen to nothing but the Elton John stuff etc.m instead try listening to tracks:
6. This Land, 8. Under the Stars,...and
YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST listen to the End of 9.King of Pride Rock
fast forward to 4:18 into the song for (in my opinion) the most powerful and beatiful part of the WHOLE album.
You'll remeber the scene from the movie INSTANTLY, trust me ;)
Listen to those tracks, and you'll understand Zimmer's true gift of expression through the sound of music.
( i would give ZIMMER'S songs 1000/5 stars if i could :P )

My Three Year Old Son Loves It. It stays in my CD player in my car. What can I say but brilliant! Wonderful diverse sounds - ranging from Elton John to sounds of Africa. So rich. Just like the movie. Worth every penny.
