Ten or so years ago, my G.I. Joe action figure came apart in the bathtub. I didn't try to fix him. I just left there to rot. After seeing Toy Story 2, he's come back to haunt me. I didn't try to save my toy I... I betrayed him. I have failed. However, with Randy Newman's surprisingly fun score to Toy Story 2, I have a chance for redemption. I have a new toy to play with and I admit... I like this toy.

This was the very first soundtrack to enter my home. It was a Christmas gift, and I admit I stared at the CD with doubt. "A SOUNDTRACK?? NAW!!" However, the by the end of the first track, I was so surprised at how good the score was that I couldn't stop playing the album. The variety is so incredibly good, from hick, country songs to Buzz Lightyear's stunning theme to "The Cleaner."

Overall, this is a great choice for beginner novice soundtrack fans - it's funny without too much loony toony music. And remember, play with your toys - love them, cradle them! Never put them down or they will leave you forever! Quickly! Before it's to late!!! Pick up this score... it is not to be missed.
