DONAJENDRO 1,914 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/lady-gaga-bradley-cooper-a-star-is-born-soundtrack/ The switch-up is a nice trick as a listening experience, but it also unintentionally highlights the incidental flaw of A Star Is Born’s soundtrack: It just can’t pack the emotional punch of watching the songs performed within the film. The live recording of “Always Remember Us This Way” doesn’t capture Gaga’s impassioned physical delivery behind the piano, her face emblazoned on a JumboTron behind her as Cooper goes moony-eyed at her blown-up visage. And as powerful as “Shallow” is, nothing matches the look of genuine surprise on Gaga’s face as Ally, when she hits her higher register for the first time and effectively launches the song into the emotional cosmos and beyond.

shame 25,360 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 that's pretty generous coming from Pitchfork the same press that gave Witness and Younger Now a 4.8/10 and 4.7/10, respectively. angels forever, forever angels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRANK1991 3,318 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 "Ally’s ascent as a solo artist range from forgettable (“Heal Me”)"-- FORGETTABLE!? hell no I do agree that some of the songs become way more powerful in the film than just listening on the album. But isn't that also the point of an soundtrack??? So IDK what they are complaining about. It's like when you hear Gaga sing live it's so much better than the studio version. Cause once you let it go you better know it's gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewPa 3,684 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Basically, it's better to listen to the OST after seeing the movie, like for the 99,9% of OSTs ever produced? Thank you Pitchfork, now we know. I'm a real Fire CRRRACKERRR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
