Reviews for "Songs That Cast A Spell: The Enchanting Practical Magic Soundtrack"
1. John - ★☆☆☆☆
I was extremely disappointed with the "Practical Magic Soundtrack CD". The songs on the album were incredibly dull and lacked any sort of excitement or energy. The selection of tracks seemed arbitrary, with no cohesive theme or flow. It felt like a collection of random songs thrown together, rather than a thoughtfully curated soundtrack. I was expecting a compilation that would transport me into the magical world of the movie, but instead, I was left feeling bored and uninterested.

As a fan of the movie, I had high hopes for the "Practical Magic Soundtrack CD", but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The songs included were forgettable and failed to capture the essence of the film. The album lacked the enchanting and whimsical vibe that made the movie so special. It felt like a missed opportunity to create a soundtrack that truly reflected the magic and charm of the story. While a couple of tracks were decent, overall, I found the album to be underwhelming and not worth the purchase.

The lack of cohesion and originality left me disappointed and wishing I hadn't wasted my money on this mediocre soundtrack.
