Romeo + Juliet is THE best soundtrack I've ever owned. It does envoke a very specific mood...but you can definitely let it all out when you're singing along with this. There is a sense of darkness throughout, lightening at times, but ever present.For the most part, the album is upbeat. "Young Hearts Run Free" may even provoke a smile. The real treasure lies in the dark reality of songs like "Local God", "Whatever", and "To You I Bestow" (arguably THE best song on this album). "Kissing You" is a wonderful love song, appropriately placed, and "Little Star" provides a calming lift after the turmoil of the rest of the album.This album is unquestionably a must for anyone who shows even a remote interest in music. Romeo + Juliet is a tool to help you deal with the chaos that is life.
