3 stars From Groening's Brain To Your CD Player
While a bit heavy on the instrumentals, and missing "key" Simp-songs, "Songs" remains an homage to the long-running show, and to the composers, Danny Elfman and Alf Clausen's deft talents. It's also a reminder of the late Phil Hartmann's contributions to the show, and that his characters will be sorely missed. Fans not finding their favorites on this CD should check out "Go Simpsonic," and give Dan Castellaneta's "Two Lips," a good listen, as well.
