Customer Reviews
Among the top ten CDs in my collection
This album has easily made it into the top ten spots of my 800+ CD collection. It contains the most eclectic blend of music I've heard in quite a while. I guess the other album that comes to mind is "Pulp Fiction" - no wonder Guy Ritchie is being considered the successor of Quentin Tarantino's movie-making style, where music plays a key role.
Musically, the tracks "Diamond", "Golden Brown", "Hot Pants" and... basically the entire album, get you in the Snatch-groove even if you haven't yet seen the movie.
To make the soundtrack even better, four excerpts from lines taken from the movie are included, among them one by un-understandable Brad Pitt and another from Dennis Farina ("I'm coming to London!")
Believe me: this one's worth having!
Great movie....GREAT soundtrack!!!
I saw the movie last night and thought it was just tremendous! Brad Pitt was hilarious in it (for the most part) with the thick accent of GIBBERISH that you can't even understand a word he is saying. The plot was tremendous and very funny! And another thing struck me when I was watching the movie...THE MUSIC! They mixed nearly 30 years of music in one movie. And each song served a purpose and it was outstanding. My favorite track, by far, is Oasis' song...lets just say its called (something) in the bushes. After that, the song Golden Brown by the Stranglers (must be an English band because I've never heard of 'em, which is sad to say that I haven't heard them before here in the U.S. cuz they rock). Other than that, the dialogue tracks are part of some of the funniest parts of the movie. I don't want to give anything away, but if you haven't seen the movie, think about what Avi says on track 20 and when you see the movie you'll see what I'm talking about. =P This is a must-buy soundtrack for 2001 with all genres included!!!!
Musical Madness... but oh how wonderful it is!
To start, You really should see the movie before listening to the soundtrack, for, while not required, it will help you understand why pieces like "F**king in the Bushes" are on the same album with "Hava Nagila".
Now that the minor disclaimer is out of the way... this is one of the strangest and greatest collections of music of all time. Ritchie's selections range from classic Broadway ("Hernando's Hideaway") to reggae ("Dreadlock Holiday") to Irish folk ("Golden Brown") to hard rock ("F**king in the Bushes") to DJ techno remixes ("Angel", "Sensual Woman"). It's a collection to make the head spin, but not only does it all fit one one album, it does it wonderfully, combined with strings of dialogue from the movie ("Nemesis" and "Declaration" being my personal favorites). Without question the best piece on the album is "Golden Brown", a slightly off-kilter drinking song that is more than capable of standing on its own. Along with it is Oasis's hard-rocking "F**king in the Bushes", one of the few good performances by the pathetic "We hate the Beatles so much we want to be like them" band. "Cross The Tracks" seems to blend New Orleans style with modern music's beat, making it a definate keeper, while "Don't You Just Know It" is a 50's beach party, and, following the incredibly intense "F**king in the Bushes", seems to break the sound in just the same way "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" blasts into "Here Comes The Sun" (That's on The Beatles' Abbey Road, for all you nonbelievers). This could go on and on through almost every song, but there just isn't enough room. It's an album for all ages - I'm very much a classic rocker and found even the modern techno entertaining, although Ritchie does plug his wife ("Lucky Star"? Please, God, no!), marring the album, but, hey, that's what the 'skip' button is for.
Once again, this is a motley collection of music that somehow manages to fit together into a coherant and funny soundtrack to a coherant and funny movie. A must-have for fans of just about any music.
