Surprisingly good and true to the original vinyl, double album. Incredible presentation, comprising of a CD hardback bound book featuring updated gatefold album artwork and album information. The musical soundtrack is almost equally as good as the original album and is sympathetically done with a all but a few tweaks. I think Jeff Wayne missed a trick or two here, because perhaps there should have been a tiny bit more work on tweaking the soundtrack. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this album to any Jeff Wayne's war of the world fans. Why has there has never been a film made using the incredible music from this fantastic album???

If you're a fan then this needs to be in your collection. However you can't beat the original. Try as hard as he can Liam Neeson fails to match the fluidity and emotion Richard Burton gave. And Phil Lynott's and Beth Covington's "The Spirit of Man" from the original towers over the new version by Maverick Sabre, and Joss Stone. The stand out tracks are "Forever Autumn" where the Gary Barlow version for me is very good and as much fun to listen to as the original by Justin Hayward, and Alex Clare's rendition of "Thunderchild" which is very good (however they have changed the sequencing quite a bit from the original so it might not be to everyones taste).

Really enjoyed this version and not forgetting the original of which was a perfect masterpiece. I could really relate to this version after seeing it live last year. The musical arrangement combining , a fantastic orchestra, rock band and electronic effects, increasing the bass and making it relevant for todays sounds. Just brilliant .the art pictures and full lyrics of the cd is fantastic

Nothing can compare with the original as that is a masterpiece.This new version with new cast is very good,with music and dialogue tweets.On its own merit and as a companion to the original it holds well,BUT,not a patch on the original. ...as much as I like Neeson he can't match the legendary voice of Richard Burton.
