Great Album For Fans Of The Movie!
*note: this review might contain some spoilers of the film*

This album contains all the music featured in the great movie Office Space. Most of the tracks featured are hip-hop, and to those of you who have seen the film and liked it, I would recommend buying this soundtrack. Being more of a metal/rock fan, I'm not sure whether the music would appeal to the gangstas out there who listen to what is known as black rap.

"Shove This Jay-Oh-Bee" will be recognized by those who have seen the film from the credits. The lyrics relate more or less directly to the events in the film, and the tune is quite happy and certainly makes you nod your head in rhythm or even dance a bit in your chair (or where ever you happen to listen to it).

"Down For Whatever" introduces you to a much more mysterious and dark beat - a typical Ice Cube piece overall. To those who have seen the film, once again, it is the tune that plays when Peter & co. copy the virus into Initech's mainframe.

"Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" is a very relaxing tune and a good song to simply "chill out" to. The melody is both happy and somewhat deep.

"No Tears" is the song Michael rapped in the very beginning of the film while stuck in traffic, and is much more typical to the hip-hop genre. Lyrics talk of pistols, homies, etc. Good for exactly that situation. Nice tune but not too emotional one way or the other.

"Still" marked the last minutes of the poor printer in the movie. It is definitely a great rap track with good rhythm and quite mysterious but at the same time pumps a bit of anger.

Both tracks by Perez Prado are great for easy listening to those of you who enjoy jazz (sorry if I got the genre wrong - like I said, I listen to other types of music). They remind of the movie as much as the other tracks and are a great easy-listen otherwise.

Overall, this is a quite good compilation of music. Seeing that Office Space is a very original movie in the sea of endless shooting and explosions and some guy having to save the world from some evil scientist or power and falling in love with some girl in the process of it, I would support the creators by buying both the film and this soundtrack.
