Customer Reviews
the soundtrack to a cult-classic
Remember grunge? No? Okay.
There are 3 types of people I have encountered. The person who hates all grunge. The person who loves all the stuff before Cobain's death, but just the stuff before his death. And then the guy that likes all grunge.
In case you haven't got the news, Mallrats is a 90s movie. Much like watching an 80s movie during the 1990s, it is quite apparent that it is a 90s movie if you watch it now. So, naturally, all the tunes come from the 90s. 2000 hadn't happened yet, so there's no post-millenium music on this disc. Sorry, that's the way timelines work.
Anyway, there's a good balance between movie quotes and rockin' 90s tunes. Mallrats is considered Smith's sophmore slump, but it's such a quotable movie, and a lot of the quotes are represented well on this disc. But more importantly are the tunes. This CD has BUSH on it. BUSH! OMG. Like when was the last time you heard Bush, it's been a while. They kind of died a few years ago. Or how about that one band Weezer. Remember when they didn't suck? Me neither, until I listened to this soundtrack.
Or how about Sponge. I know, who the hell is sponge? They have a ton of albums. Good ones. And then there's Silverchair's Stoned, one of their best songs period.
There's a ton of rocking 90's songs on this album. So if you enjoyed that era, check this out yo.
Snoogins!
OK, Lunchbox, here's the plan. I review this soundtrack, and then we go for some fatties. Got it? Snoogins!
Like the Clerks soundtrack, the song selection is a playground of alternative music with punk. The title song by Wax and the guitar heavy "Guilty" by punk group All are the standout cuts. "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Goops is the frantically upbeat cut played where Rene and Brody make out in the elevator.
The previously-released songs help enhance the soundtrack. "Line Up" by Elastica and the denunciatory anti-conformist theme song "Social" by Squirtgun. My quibble with the latter's placement as the 21st song in sequence is that it was played during the opening credits and is a way better choice than Bush's "Bubbles."
And that's another thing. Where the song order in Clerks was closer to the order of their appearance, it seems that whoever distributed the soundtrack put the song names in a hat and pulled whatever came first. As Kevin Smith is one of the producers of this soundtrack, maybe it'd be a good idea to ask his Royal Snootchie-Bootchiness
"Broken" by Belly is their last stab at greatness, and rivals "Now They'll Sleep" from King.
The dialogue inclusions aren't as effective as they were in the Clerks Soundtrack. However, the ones with Jason Mewes are the best, as he is one of the more engaging characters in the movie. Also the one where Brody is talking about what his cousin Walter did aboard an airplane ready to crash. Those who have seen the movie know what he said.
Not a classic soundtrack like Clerks, but at least the atmosphere and attitude are perfect in keeping in line with the movie. OK, that's it. Nugga nugga nooch!
Bickety bam this soundtrack is loaded
So many soundtracks include two or three blockbuster sounds from the artistes recent albums. Not Mallrats the music is awesome and the songs can only be found on singles at the most. Pick this album up and make Amazon happy!!
