A little disappointing
This soundtrack is filled with quite a number of pulse-raising, fast-paced songs that were typical of the mid-90s. Featured on the CD are "Til I Hear it From You," by the Gin Blossoms, "A Girl Like You," by Edwyn Collins, Better Than Ezra, the Cranberries, "Crazy Life," and "Sugarhigh."

However, I was kind of disappointed with this soundtrack in one major way. Like so many other people, after seeing Empire Records, I found that the soundtrack is missing a number of songs which I wanted to be on it. Where are "Money- thats what I want" by the Flying Lizzards, Dire Straits's "Romeo and Juliet," Maxwell Caulfield's "Say no more, Mon Amour, "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "Counting Blue Cars?" Its because of these omissions that Empire Records needed another soundtrack.

Great movie- only an OK soundtrack.

Those infamous missing songs
It's funny when you buy a soundtrack from a movie you're pretty familiar with and discover that you don't recognise half the songs. I think most people have reviewed this album have realised this too. However, that's not to say it's not good. It's a very "grow on you" sort of album. However, I have done a little research and these are some of the songs people have wanted on the album but couldn't find: 'This is the Day' - The The (played at the very end when everyone is dancing on the roof) 'How' - The Cranberries (Corey runs onto the roof crying, after throwing herself at Rex Manning) 'Snakeface' - Throwing Muses (Corey prepares lunch for Rex Manning) 'Plowed' - Sponge (everyone arrives for the big party at Empire) 'I Shot the Devil' - Suicidal Tendencies (Mark and his heavy metal friends are head banging, before Gina turns it off) The song that continues to elude me is the one that Mark puts on after he wins the M&M's game .. the only thing I can suggest is getting the video and reading the end credits and taking a guess. Hope that helps people.
