''Almost Alice'' is a concept album of various artists' music inspired by Tim Burton's film, ''Alice in Wonderland''.〔 The album is also notable for featuring songs that were inspired from quotes directly from Lewis Carroll's original novel ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''. For example, both "The Lobster Quadrille" (by Franz Ferdinand) and "You Are Old, Father William" (by They Might Be Giants) are both word-for-word performances of poems from the original ''Alice'' as quoted by The Mock-Turtle (the former) and Alice herself to the Caterpillar (the latter). Furthermore, "Very Good Advice" by Robert Smith is a cover of Kathryn Beaumont's "Very Good Advice" from Disney's 1951 animated adaptation of ''Alice in Wonderland''. The album was released by Buena Vista Records on March 2, 2010.〔 It debuted at No. 5 on the ''Billboard'' 200 US albums chart. On June 1, 2010, iTunes released a deluxe edition of the album. The lead single, "Alice" by Avril Lavigne is played during the end credits of ''Alice in Wonderland'' and is the only song of the album featured in the film.〔 It premiered on January 27, 2010, on the radio program ''On Air with Ryan Seacrest''. The second single was the song "Tea Party" by Estonian pop singer Kerli. "Follow Me Down", a track from the album by 3OH!3 featuring Neon Hitch, has also been released as a single. A special edition of the album with three extra songs is exclusive to Hot Topic,〔()〕 though it is also sold online on the Mexican Mixup Music Store site. On June 1, 2010, the special edition was released on iTunes. ==Reception== 〕 | rev2 = ''Entertainment Weekly'' | rev2Score = C− | rev3 = Blogeroni | rev3Score = }} William Ruhlmann of Allmusic focused part of his review on Lavigne's track, "Alice", describing it as "a typical piece of self-assertive adolescent pop/rock", noting that it was "ideally suited for heavy rotation on Radio Disney". Singling out "White Rabbit" and "Very Good Advice" as the album "oddities", Ruhlmann otherwise decided the album was more appealing for children, with nearly all of the songs being "schoolyard chants".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Almost Alice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
