Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, executive produced by Playtone's Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and directed by Emmy®-winner Tom Hooper, JOHN ADAMS is a seven-part epic miniseries event that explores American history through the eyes of one of the greatest of the founding fathers, John Adams (Giamatti), a fiercely independent spirit whose unwavering vision steered America through a tumultuous period.

Based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, the miniseries is produced for HBO Films by Playtone.




Rating: - John Adams Soundtrack
I watched a few of these episodes on HBO and couldn't get the theme song out of my head so I bought the soundtrack. Great ambient music, especially during patriotic events (eg. 4th of July, elections, etc.). Best tracks are 1, 2, and 5.

Rating: - A Stirring, Emotional Score
After watching the excellent miniseries JOHN ADAMS on DVD, I knew I had to purchase the soundtrack. Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli have crafted a musical score for the film that packs the emotional power that was so much a part of David McCullough's book. From the patriotic "Opening Titles," a martial piece that somehow manages to convey that the drama it introduces is one of flesh and blood human beings, not wooden soldiers led by marble statues, to the soulful "Farewell to Adams," played in the ...

Rating: - Main title track flawed
Be warned that the mixing for the title track on the CD isn't the same as what you here in the show.

Rating: - Music for John Adams - the Movie - Stands on It's Own and More
This sound track the work of composers Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli really evoke the emotions of the era and the people in their works.

Their work complements the efforts of David McCullough through his book and the people in the production of the movie, the actors, the cinematographers and all the others including Tom Hanks and the others in making of this series for which the soundtrack was created. John Adams (HBO Miniseries)

The music truly honors and complements the ... Read More

Rating: - every american should watch and listen to this movie.
This was the best movie I've seen in a long time,ever since I saw The World's Fastest Indian, another good movie that movie critics missed. If it wasn't for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, we'd probably still be a British Colony. This country needs a 21st Century John Adams or Thomas Jefferson to lead this country, this country has no leadership. Excellent movie, thank God for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Have a box of kleenex ready for the last chapter. 5 star movie.
