Natural Born Killers: A Soundtrack For An Oliver Stone Film
Natural Born Killers: A Soundtrack For An Oliver Stone FilmThe reason this gets 4 stars, as opposed to the full 5 that it may deserve, is that I felt the album would have been greatly improved had it been released in a 2-disc format...even if only as a Limited Edition. The reason for this is simple...NBK had over 60 songs in it. And while 27 tracks is great in terms of a CD, it seems a bit truncated when one considers that less than half of the songs in the movie made it to the soundtrack album. And since the film itself was so reliant on music, it seems odd that they didn't release a lengthier version of the soundtrack...which would give a perfect picture of the film's mood, even to someone who had never seen it. The music in the film is, after all, practically omnipresent.

I am a HUGE Nine Inch Nails fan and I try to get my hands on anything that has Trent Reznor either performing on or producing. Plus, I also learned that there was a new song by Nine Inch Nails that appears on this album that you can't get anywhere else. The soundtrack itself is all right. Nothing I'd listen to over and over again, but it's a nice thing to have. (Especially because of how much I love the movie.) | 2 | |

Lang "nicklang2" (K-t.. | Usually when I purchase a soundtrack, I am overjoyed because I know of perhaps two or three artists on it, but then I discover a turd or two in the mix.This compilation was one of few to break this curse. Trent Reznor's contribution to forming the soundtrack was brilliant. NIN's tracks "Burn", "A Warm Place" and "Something I Can Never Have" really captured the mood of this film.Other tracks worth noting are Dylan's "You Belong to Me", the Cowboy Junkies' rendition of "Sweet Jane", AOS' "History Repeats Itself". But the true highlight of the album is Leonard Cohen's haunting tracks "Waiting for the Miracle" and "The Future".Whenever the songs appeared in the film, they were extremely well placed. | 2 | |
