"I got this CD before seeing the movie, and I was sorta disappointed that the majority of the songs weren't even in the movie. But that's not such a bad thing...All of my favorite songs are on this CD...and that's almost all of the tracks
1: You're Not Me (*****) I am so in love with Kaiba...and this song totally matches him...probably the best song on the CD
2: For the People (*) I really don't like the Black Eyed Peas that much...and this song didn't make me like them any better...It's actually kinda boring...
3: One Card Short (**) I'm not too enthusiastic about this song...I've listened to it a few times, but it's not one of my favorites.
4: Step Up (****) Before the movie came out, I listened to the 30-second sample on the Movie website about 1000 times...this was my favorite song on the entire CD...but it got annoying after awhile...so I only listen to this one occasionally...
5: Shadow Games (****) I love this one! It's sorta mysterious and romantic in a really low-key sorta way...I don't really expect you to get that, but if you do....kudos...
6: It's Over (-) I haven't really listened to this one all the way through, so I can't really say anything productive about it...
7: Blind Ambition (***) This song is just so totally Joey!!! I can clearly see a whole Joey montage when I listen to this. It's bouncy and catchy...kinda like Joey (I don't really expect you to get that either)
8: Great Pretender (*****) The lyrics for this song alone are awesome to just sit down and listen to...It's got a nice flowing tune.
9: How Much Longer (****) I like this one cuz it's mostly about Mokuba...and Mokuba rocks! This song is sorta like Blind Ambition...bouncy and catchy...
10: U Better Fear Me (**) I haven't listened to this all the way through, because it kinda gets obnoxious and annoying...the only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it has a cool opening.
11: Power Within (*****) This is one of my newest favorites. The lyrics are cool, and the tune is cool...and it could either go with Yugi and Yami fighting together with the power of their faith and friendship, or it could work as a cute couple song...I guess...
12: Believe In (*****) The other one of my new favorites...This is actually the theme song for Yu-Gi-Oh GX, of course it's edited to be short enough, but I didn't hear this song until I saw the YGOGX theme on yugioh.com...and long story short, I found it on the Movie Soundtrack...I love it!!! And I totally can't wait for GX to premiere whenever it does...
13: Yu-Gi-Oh Theme [Extended Version](****) This is just the two versions of the theme compiled together into one...enough said...
So, happy listening and happy Yu-Gi-Oh...ing!!!"

"hmm...were do I start? Oh yeah! Yugioh the movie soundtrack is a lot more better for hearing than 'yugioh- music to duel by.' So don't get discouraged to buy it just because you didn't feel the first really hit the note.
Many of the songs on the album aren't just for one solem character. They can transfered through all of them really! but anywo here goes my attempt at a review:
'You're not me' is by far my favorite song, and it ofcourse is another theme song for our favorite blue-eyed CEO: Seto Kaiba! This song goes really indept with Kaiba's character and the way he truly see things. NO he's not really a block of ice you know... But there he dedicates a little part prob. to Yugi, the pharoah, and ofcourse Tea(Anzu) for being the sole ones who try to advise him to be part of the gang!
'One card Short' is definately a song all duelist from the show can relate to, especially Joey! There's a part in there for Yugi(line:is what happens next in your control/do you choose the cards from your own hand)and one for Kaiba(line:are you doing what you want or what you've been told/ or are we just puppets in a masterplan?)this song was probably designed for the Duelist Kingdom season when Pegauses forced Kaiba battle it out with Yugi, in a tug of war duel.But Nonetheless, it is also perfect for the movie since Anubis takes over as the evil bad guy!(0.o)
'The great pretender' although most say it has an akward sorta boy band ring, it's the lyrics we should be listening to! This songs definately one for our destined hero Yugi! It's not a bad song at all...you just really have to be patient with it and ofcourse be a Yugioh fan, cause just being an Anime wont be enough 4 this one(>."
Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie

"This C.D. is full of great songs, but my favourite songs on this album are:
- You're Not Me-
- Shadow Games-
- The Great Pretender-
- Power Within-
First, let's start off with 'You're Not Me '
This song reminded me alot about Kaiba because he thinks he is his own person, and doesn't need anyone's advice on how to get things done. Plus ~* I think Kaiba's Reeeal Sexy *~ so give this track 4 1/2 stars.
Then there's 'Shadow Games'. I absolutely adore this track because it is a type of low-key song that you would kind-of expect a group like Evenesense would sing. This song is my favourite; I've listened to it about 1,000,000 times and I never got tired of it. This song could be a song to listen to when you just want to be left alone. Alone, I give this track 5 shimmering gold STARS!!!
Then, there's ' The Great Pretender'. It may sound like a boyband-esque type of song, but do'nt let that fool you. If yuo actually listen to the lyrics, it will say, " You keep searchin' for the truth, but all you come across is lies. someone sabatoged your room,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. When the world comes crashing down, do you just smile, and say? I AM THE GREAT PRETENDER! oh yeah. Willing to dream forever. I give this track 4 1/2 stars.
And, last but not least, there's ' Power Within '. I like this song alot. this song is a good song to listen to when you feel on top of the world, and you think nothing can bring you down. This song relates to Yugi and Pharaoh when they defeat Anubis and the world is saved. his song is a savior-esque type of song, like 'power of one ' in the Poke'mon second movie soundtrack. I give this song a 4.9 stars.
~ I would have put other songs on here, but none of them intrigued me to do so. afterall, the album relates to the Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie with flowy tunes, Extremely catchy lyrics, and mind-blowing songs that relate to most of the characters. Overall, I would give this album My highest rating so far, 5 Shimmering GOLD STARS!!!! Enjoy this album1 ; ~ )"

"The one song I really, really loved was the Great Pretender. Admittedly, I couldn't even bring myself to get through the others. JFB is one of my favorite bands ever. I have no idea where you're all getting this boy band vibe from, because unlike Justin Whatshisuglyface, Jon (are you ready for this?) can actually sing. Wonder among wonders, I know, considering all the horrible stuff trying to pass itself off as music on the radio. And they actually write the songs themselves, play their own instruments, et cetera. Remember when bands did that all the time, and it wasn't such an amazing thing? The members of JFB are quite pretty, which I suppose fits with the whole boy band stereotype. Though I still have yet to come across an actual boy band with a member I find attractive. Maybe I'm just biased because their lack of talent pains me too much. In any case."
