Essentially what you get here is a classic soundtrack that’s been successfully reworked from top to bottom, with 20 songs that are mostly well-done covers offering a fresher take by modern groups. Korn injects its trademark brand of hard-charging, head-banging, pulsating rock.

The album’s a bit of a departure from the darkness of the original The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, offering a little more diversity and even some light moments while maintaining the general eerie and eccentric fun. - T.H.
