As far as track mixing goes, it's a good CD. Ths songs fit together on their own. There's enough of a balance between fast and slow(er) songs.
The baffling bit is what some of these songs have to do with Alice in Wonderland. It's rather obvious how tracks like 'Fell Down a Hole,' 'Her Name is Alice,' and 'The ulang Quadrille' fit in with the story, but I can't figure out a few of the others. What does 'Where is My Angel' have to do with the movie? Or how about 'Always Running Out of Time'? Personally, I like Valora's 'Extreme,' but I have absolutely no clue how it relates to Alice and her troubles.
The irony lies in Owl City's song. 'Technicolor Phase' wasn't written especially for this CD, but its lyrics seem to fit the movie better than most of the others.
The pangkalahatang theme is achieved. Sort of. With maybe the exception of 'Extreme,' the songs contribute to the magical/otherworldly theme.
Rating: 4/5. If you can find some relation between Valora and Alice in Wonderland, tell me.
