Customer Reviews

Thoughtful, strong and subtle....5
I'm not acquainted with Anne Dudley's previous soundtracks, however after watching this film I had to buy this soundtrack. Listening while remembering the context of the film will definitely have you enjoying this soundtrack, but even if you're not acquainted with the film this is a disc definitely worth checking out.

Dudley proves her Oscar win was no fluke.5
Anne Dudley, Oscar winner for last years THE FULL MONTY, scales new heights with this elegiac and moving work. Much like the film that inspired it, this is a haunting and ultimately sorrowful examination of the effects of hatred and racism. But while the film is often almost unbearably brutal, the score is more restrained providing a powerful contrast to the images onscreen. Aside from John William's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, this may be the best score of the year. With AMERICAN HISTORY X, Dudley, who is British, follows in the tradition of Dvorak and, more recently, John Barry, foreign composers who, with their NEW WORLD SYMPHONY and score to DANCES WITH WOLVES, respectively, were able to capture a sound and mood that is distinctly American. If Dudley's Oscar win for THE FULL MONTY can be seen as more of a consolation prize for what was a good, but not great, score to a much loved film, then AMERICAN HISTORY X should be seen as her first truly great score in what looks to be a long and exciting career.

The best soundtrack Ive heard this year.5
This was just the best soundtrack Ive heard. It has captured the emotions of the film in a perfect way. (Or is it that the songs made the emotions in the movie?)
