Amazon.co.uk Review
Another Oliver Stone film hailed by many as some sort of genius. Nine Inch Nail's Trent Reznor was brought in to helm the soundtrack. He shows a gift for choosing diverse, if somewhat disparate musicians, running the gamut from Patsy Cline to Lard. It's a nice collection, if a little wanting for a thematic centre. Cowboy Junkies' version of the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" is simply awesome, and Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, and Leonard Cohen lend superstar firepower, even if the songs are available elsewhere. NIN's own "Something I Can Never Have," previously heard on Pretty Hate Machine, is the most overt attempt at what Reznor was hoping to capture. It's Pulp Fiction for the schizophrenic Gen X'ers. --Scott Wilson

Customer Reviews

More than just a soundtrack
More often than not 'Soundtrack' means simply all the songs in the movie. More recently it has meant 10 odd tracks by the latest 'hot' artists shoehorned into a movie to make a bit of extra cash (Blade II, Swordfish the list goes on). This, however, bucks the trend so emphatically it seems churlish to put it into the 'Soundtrack' category.

Trent Reznor has crafted a soundscape of par excellence, covering the emotional highs and lows seen in the film. In some respects this is a greater creative work than the film itself as it fuses so many influences, tied in with some of the finer pieces of dialogue from the movie. From the chanting Indian to 'S**t list', this album takes you through a journey. A journey through the minds of Mickey and Mallory. Funnily enough, I don't like all the bands on here. I hate L7, I'm not a massive fan of Patti Smith or Leonard Cohen, but they all add to the rich tapestry on offer here and it is impossible to imagine the album without them.

I cant help feeling that if this had been released as a stand alone album, sold as a 'DJ' album or 'An evening with Trent', it would have sold a million and have been, quite rightly, hailed by all and sundry. As it stands, you will find this in the sound track section and I cant recommend it enough

A revolutionary album. Genius.
This is the first soundtrack of its kind. Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails fame) has produced a summary of the MTV generation's tastes. Music here spans from rap to country, from classical to rock, all seemlessly mixed and even telling a story. This album can be treated as a separate piece of art.
