Chapter One - In the Beginning
Awhile back, an animated series set the bar on storytelling, but also contained an unforgettable theme song. The original theme song was composed by legendary artist Ron Wasserman. Within this timeless piece, it contained energy, hype, and passion, all wrapped into an epic song that grabbed your attention.
With the series returning, in 97' that same theme song has returned. A complete remaster by The Newton Brothers. Bringing back that magic, but also into the present day. It is as if the series never ended, but now has a fresh start. By the way, never skip the intro.
Chapter Two - Days of Future Past
Welcome to 2024, it was thirty years ago when the original series entered our lives, changing them forever. A story about a band of characters working together for a cause. A teacher, his students, their mission is to do what's right, but also fight to protect those who are different, outcast, mistreated, or even shunned because they are unique or special, the Gifted. They are a team, a family, they are the X-men. Their ongoing mission continues, even many years later.

Chapter Three - To Me, My X-Men
This 40 track filled album is incredible, within every episode the music is another member of the team. Exploring different emotions, and bombastic action sequence filled moments throughout. From tension, to sadness, happiness, and pain. Every feeling is explored through the sound, and our hearts as we all watch everything unfold.
The Newton Brothers composed something amazing. Each track flows perfectly with the scenes they take place in, but also listening to the isolated score fills you with every emotion contained inside of the art. It is one of those reminders, this is an animated series, but it feels more like a live action film. Every song within this astonishing soundtrack is a work of art, you can feel the passion and creativity flow within each track to the next.

This review is dedicated to those we have lost. Recently my father passed away, and he was a Marvel, and X-Men fan. Loved absolutely everything about the vast Marvel Universe. Sadly, he passed away after episode two was released, but the joy on his face while watching, is something I will never forget. I am so thankful I was able to share this series with him.
