Customer Reviews

Missing Songs Found!!!
I love this album passionately, so let me start off by saying that.
Anyway, the only missing songs (and probably some of the best) on the album are "I am Waiting" by the Rolling Stones, and "Jersey Thursday" by Donovan. "I am Waiting" was playing when the 3 main characters (Max, Mrs. Cross, and Mr. Blume) were all sitting down to their own dinner. "Jersey Thursday" was playing when Max was burning the leaves on the lawn at Rushmore. Just thought I'd add that in.

"You are forgiven" = "A Quick One While He's Away"
I would just like to reply to Antigraphy's review. The Who track to which you refer ("You Are Forgiven") is actually the very last section of the track provided on this disc, "A Quick One While He's Away." This song is a long, multisectional piece which ends in the cascading chorus of "you are forgiven" that was heard in the film.

One of the Most Diverse and Pleasing Soundtracks Ever
First off, the first track on this album, "Hardest Geometry Problem in the World" is what turned me on to the awesome musical talent of former Devo member Mark Mothersbaugh. It's a short but beautiful instrumental piece that introduces the film. Call me crazy, but the brief instrumentals by Mothersbaugh by themselves are worth the price of this CD. But in case you aren't into Mark Mothersbaugh, the rest of this CD is top notch, no filler!

This is a diverse collection of songs ranging from mellow to mid-energizing, ranging from folk-pop artists like Chad & Jeremy and Cat Stevens to classic British rock The Who & The Kinks. I could probably best describe this as a great rainy day album. This collection is simultaneously relaxing and stirring. Tracks like "Concrete and Clay" pick up the relaxed pace, but never go into a Ramones-paced overdrive (though Ramones are great for when you want to jumpstart your senses!)

Lastly, if you have never seen the movie "Rushmore," it is a must see!
