Frozen 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack / Deluxe Edition)

Love this album, love the music, and the big ballad “Into the Unknown” is haunting, beautiful and sticks in your head just like “let it go” before it – brilliant!

This is a brilliant soundtrack to go with a brilliant film! I loved listening to the songs again and reliving the moments from the film!

My four year old is a huge Frozen fan. I cannot tell you how many times we listened to the original soundtrack. According to my kid, the new songs are just as good. So we’ve been listening to the Frozen 2 album on repeat since I purchased it.

And I dig a lot of the songs, too — “Into the Unknown” is especially fantastic, once I was able to listen to the full song — but Kristoff’s very-80s-power-ballad, “Lost in the Woods,” is a bit much for me. Please note that “The Next Right Thing” deals with some dark themes, so if you are getting this for young kids, I would recommend you screen to the song first. (The song makes it *seem* like Elsa has died and Anna is mourning her death.)

My 7 year old is obsessed with the Frozen 2 movie (we’ve seen the movie 3 times in theaters) and this soundtrack is on constant repeat in our house. I enjoy the songs a lot, so that doesn’t annoy me. I ordered this for her stocking from Santa and was disappointed in the packaging – it’s a cheap cardboard case. Really? They should’ve used a plastic case for longevity. We did like the shimmery aspect of the snowflake on the front and on the characters’ outfits on the inside. She also liked the included lyric booklet to follow along.

Now, the songs. The songs for the most part are FANTASTIC! For us, the best song of the soundtrack is Kristoff’s power ballad, “Lost in the Woods.” It has an 80s power ballad vibe and is beautifully done – in the movie, Kristoff basically has his own music video and it’s glorious. It’s awesome to see Kristoff get a real song unlike the last movie. Of course, “Into the Unknown,” Elsa’s “Let It Go” of this movie is phenomenally done and is just as good as “Let it Go.” “Show Yourself” is Elsa’s other song and is very good as well. We also love “Some Things Never Change,” an upbeat song that includes all of the main characters singing together. The real flop of the soundtrack is “Next Right Thing,” which is Anna’s solo song. It’s really dark and depressing and we skip it every time.

So there are 8 original songs and then 3 repeats of “Into the Unknown,” by Panic at the Disco, “All is Found” by Kacey Musgraves, and “Lost in the Woods” by Weezer. Really could do without the repeats by random people. They couldn’t have come up with a few more original songs instead of repeats? Panic at the Disco’s version of “Into the Unknown” is the absolute worst of the three – the guy’s voice is like nails on the chalkboard and he needs to leave the ballads to Elsa. Weezer’s version of “Lost in the Woods” isn’t too bad, but we still skip all the repeats. Overall an awesome soundtrack, but needs a better case and to lose the repeat songs.
