Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential video
Inspired by the 1960s TV series that starred James Garner in the title role, this lightweight Western from 1994 proved to be a surprising box-office hit. Well, maybe not such a big surprise, since it's from the star and director of the Lethal Weapon movies, and operates with a similar combination of mainstream plotting and easygoing humor. Mel Gibson stars as card-playing gunslinger Brett Maverick, who meets up with wily gambler Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster) and a marshal named Zane Cooper (James Garner, trading his old role to Gibson) on his way to the World Series of poker in St. Louis. Maverick's trying to raise the $5,000 needed to join the high-stakes contest, but that's easier said than done due to a lot of unscrupulous competition and a twisting plot of tricks and deceptions. It's all played for laughs and action, so the movie never wears out its welcome, despite a running time that could've used a good trimming. It's also fun to see the rapport between Gibson and Garner, as if the present and former Mavericks were a kind of surrogate son and father, bonded by their mutual skill in charming and conning their way through tight spots. Director Richard Donner also pays tribute to old Westerns by casting veterans of the genre in cameo roles (including Bert Remsen, Dub Taylor, and Denver Pyle), and Gibson's Lethal Weapon costar Danny Glover pops in for a surprise appearance. None of this really adds up to much since the movie makes no pretense about taking itself seriously, but that's precisely why audiences found it so entertaining. --Jeff Shannon

From The New Yorker
Richard Donner's big-screen version of the popular TV Western series of the fifties couldn't be called a travesty of a classic, because the original show was itself resolutely un-classic-a genial revisionist take on the genre. The series' hero, Bret Maverick (then played by James Garner), wasn't a paragon of rugged integrity or two-fisted masculinity, but a slick, witty, suspiciously well-dressed gambler, whose pained reluctance to do what a man's gotta do was the show's richest source of comedy. The new Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) is still a charmer, but an antsy, wild-eyed, motormouthed one, like the deranged daredevil cop that Gibson plays in the "Lethal Weapon" pictures. The whole movie has a frantic quality that seems a poor substitute for the original's sly, relaxed humor. There are a few laughs, but the picture feels awfully long, because almost everyone is trying too hard: the few performers who aren't, like James Coburn and Garner himself (on hand to play straight man to the star), come off best. At a couple of points, Garner has to remind Gibson not to "babble," and the dry old pro gets his laugh so effortlessly that it's impossible not to take his side. Also with Jodie Foster, Graham Greene, and Alfred Molina. -Terrence Rafferty

Album Description

For the first time in television history, a storyline on a TV series will result in a soundtrack album. After inhabitants of Tree Hill are stricken by cancer, their friends and neighbors stage a concert and create a modern-rock compilation album to raise money to fight the disease. That album, on the show and in real life, is One Tree Hill, Vol.2-and a substantial portion of its proceeds will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Association.

AMAZING!.......2007-03-02

First of all, I LOVE this show!!! I just got my CD in the mail...and i've already listened to the whole thing! I LOVE it!!!

Best album I own.......2007-02-15

This is an amazing CD. Not only does it benefit breast cancer research (don't copy and give this out, buy everyone their own copy so it contributes!) but I listen to it all the time. This is absolutely the best album in my collection of CDs! The tracks cover every mood and are a real pick me up of great artists. I have gone out and bought a lot of the artist's full CDs because of their great songs on this CD.

MIND BLOWING!!.......2007-01-19

If I could I would give it 6 stars. Excellent, excellent compilation, hardly a track not worth mentioning. A must have album, even if you're not a fan of the show.

AMAZING.......2007-01-05

I really liked volume 2 - the music was just as good as it was on telly.

One Tree Hill Rocks.......2007-01-03

Key to the success of this prime-time teen soap opera has been a mix of contemporary rock and pop that musically embroiders the show's increasingly complex mix of hope, fear, and youthful angst with often melodramatic flair. This third volume of songs from the successful series continues in that tradition while, as the title suggests, exploring a little wider artistic range. "Don't Wait" by Dashboard Confessional and the Honorary Title's "Stay Away" immediately anchor the set with a familiar tone of urgency, while star Tyler Hilton offers up another expected sensitive acoustic ballad in "You'll Ask for Me." But elsewhere, the collection admirably pushes the envelope via such tasty, eclectic morsels as the infectious pop of the Kooks' "Naïve," Gym Class Heroes turning "Good Vibrations" into a stripped-down shuffle, and the effusive hip-hop-pop of Lupe Fiasco's "I Gotcha." But it's still a collection centered largely on the contemplative, indie spirit embodied by the Wreckers' gorgeous "Lay Me Down," Lucero's emotive dirge "Tell Me What It Takes," and the Constantines' similarly focused "Soon Enough." --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

For the first time in television history, a mixtape heard in an episode will become a soundtrack album. Containing hits from artists such as Lupe Fiasco, Dashboard Confessional and The Wreckers, The Road Trip is another innovative musical breakthrough for a series that continues to be an indie showcase.

Perfect for the Road.......2007-06-14

I loved this disk from the first time I listened to it, but I had to know if it worked out on the road. I took a road trip from southern Kansas up to the NE part of the state playing this cd, and I fell in love all over again. Anybody who's gone thru Kansas knows what the landscape looks like, and it made the perfect backdrop to the music.
Hands down La Rocca's "Non-Believer," The Weepies "World Spins Madly On," and Band of Horses' "Funeral" are the best tracks on the album. Those songs alone are worth buying the cd for.

Awesomeness.......2007-06-10

It's a great CD! There's not a song I don't like. Tyler's new song is a must be hit. The Weepies are always a good addition.

That's what I like about the OTH soundtracks. They're not filled with "what's now" hot in the music scene, but rather songs that can be listened to over and over, because you're not going to always hear them on the radio.

the perfect follow up,hope there'll be a fourth..........2007-04-12

I admit,I love the show,but overall,it music and of couse it soundtracks,but I must say that some of the choices made for the track selection are a little too easy:
Don't wait : way to obvious choice but great though.The perfect song to start the CD with. 4,5/5
stay away : not the best from the band,but after listening to it several times you get used to it. 4/5
naive : good choice,siuts very well with the show itself,but not so good song. 3/5
the funeral : one of the highlight from the CD,great choice!....5/5
heartbeats : just the same as naive,but a good song. 3.5/5
you'll ask me : not his best by far and I must say that I get a little tired of him.
i gotcha : not the usual OTH tune but really great choice,second highlight. 5/5
good vibrations : way too much Citizen Cope vibes for me,but an OK song. 4/5
lay me down : third highlight,love the band and Michelle Branch. 5/5
soon enough : beautiful song but unnoticed,too bad. 3/5
he lays in the rein : fourth highlight,such a beautiful and lyrical song. 5/5
tell me what it takes : the same as soon enough,plus the song's not so good as for the band which is supposed to be one of Luca's favorite...2.5/5
just be simple : could have been a highlight but way too obvious and passe choice. 4.5/5
world spins madly on : love the band ad the song,fifth highlight. 5/5
non-believer : the perfect choice which was to be made.the sound from the great episode,song to live and die by,reminds me so much of Peyton. The sixth and last but not least highligh fom the CD. 5/5
chloe dancer/crowns of thorns : not my favorite at all but Jason Shwartzman made such a moving speech telling us why he chose the song that we have to at least like it. 3.5/5
If you love the show and the previous soundtrack just buy it,if not,buy it cause you'll find something you love on it.

Another Great Soundtrack.......2007-04-05

One Tree Hill has really done it again. If you are a fan of the first two soundtracks, you will undoubtedly love this one. The show does a tremendous job of using music to help tell a story, and this soundtrack features the perfect sampling of songs from several of the pivotal scenes this season. I love that OTH offers a showcase for a lot of up-and-coming artists, so for those looking for something a little different than what's out on mainstream radio, I highly recommend this CD.

Fashion be damned: Pop culture is just one big Hometown Buffet for writer-director Quentin Tarantino. Nowhere has that sensibility been more apparent than on his hand-picked soundtrack choices, and this oft tongue-in-cheek tale of a female assassin's revenge (his first film in six years) is no exception. With dizzy, almost palpable glee, Tarantino evokes the international hall-of-mirrors influences that energize martial arts films and much of Asian pop culture in general. Thus the hip-hop of Wu Tang's RZA (who, along with composer Charles Bernstein, concocts what passes for the score's traditional cues) somehow finds itself but one ingredient in a heady souffle that includes vintage TV and film cue rarities (Al Hirt's main title from The Green Hornet, Bernard Herrmann's haunting theme from Twisted Nerve, the spaghetti western melodrama of Luis Bacalov's "The Grand Duel," Isaac Hayes in full blaxploitation mode on "Run Fay Run"), Charlie Feathers' vintage rockabilly and a pan-kitsch sensibility that encompasses Zamfir, Nancy Sinatra's angst-in-the-pants take "Bang, Bang" and Santa Esmeralda's disco-era workout of "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Tarantino's contemporary Japan-Pop selections are no less giddy, ranging from Meiko Kaji's sultry "Flower of Carnage" to The 5.6.7.8's loopy "Woo Hoo." It's everything we've come to expect from a Tarantino score (including dialog excerpts and a few sound fx stingers), with a madcap trip around the pop music world thrown in for good measure. -- Jerry McCulley

Directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez spent $53 million to pay loving tribute to the vintage hundred-thousand-dollar exploitation fare that inspired Grindhouse's two-movies-for-the-price-of-one thrill ride. Tarantino's half of the exercise (which also includes Robert Rodriguez's self-scored Planet Terror) features another effusive slice of the director's eclectic musical sensibility to underscore its manic tale of stuntman/psycho-killer Kurt Russell and his muscle-car-fueled exploits. Tarantino works from a familiar formula that variously mixes evocative, semi-obscure Italian film cues from Morricone and Dinaggio, contrasting slices of '60s catalog from the great Jack Nitzsche and Brit Invasion also-rans DDDBM&T and some '70s fodder from both ends of the Top 40 via Smith and T. Rex, also stirring in a savory mid-disc run of R&B that stretches from PG&E's upbeat read of "Stagger Lee" through more familiar fare from Joe Tex, Eddie Floyd, and the Coasters. The director also serves up a couple of those deliciously off-kilter obscurities that have come to be his musical trademark as a coda: Eddie Beram's thumping "Riot in Thunder Alley" and April March's infectious ditz-pop take on Serge Gainsbourg's loopy "Chick Habit." --Jerry McCulley

DO IT AGAIN!.......2007-06-03

The movies were great - I went to see it 4 times and I am digging in my house to go see it again!

The sounds tracks are just as good - check out the book - it's has the dialogs in it..............Useless talent# 10!

Astounding.......2007-06-03

One listen and you're hooked. At least 6 songs that are fantastic that there's no way I would have encountered without QT. Thanks man, should I expect any less?

Coasters question.......2007-05-31

Another entertaining soundtrack by Tarantino - well worth having. I'm curious about the version of the Coasters' "Down In Mexico" though. It's very different from the one on "Very Best of the Coasters." I can't tell if it's just remixed or another version entirely. I hope some R&B expert can comment on that. Finally, though, another great collection of very diverse sounds.

Once Again.......2007-05-15

Once again, Tarantino offers us a soundtrack with "dialogue clips" that we will listen to over and over again. Buy it. It belongs in your "Tarantino" soundtrack collection right next to all the others.

Main Title Music is from "Village Of the Giants" (1965).......2007-05-13

Although its called "The Last Race" the opening title music is actually from the old film "Village Of the Giants" (1965) with Tommy Kirk Beau Bridges and Joy Harmon (she washed the car in "Cool Hand Luke") which also had a Jack Nitsche score...don't know if its re-recorded or just the original.

Amazon.com

Quentin Tarantino wraps up his dizzy double-dose of martial arts film tribute cum informed paean to junk cinema with the throw-it-all-against-wall abandon that's become his cliched trademark, if not necessarily his true strength as a filmmaker. That sensibility has long informed his quirky, world-pop savvy soundtracks as well, though this chapter's collection gratifyingly sacrifices a dollop of eclecticism in favor of a little more focused nuance. Revolving loosely around a decidedly international, free-floating axis of Latin rhythm (Chingon's "Malaguena Salerosa, " the flamenco-demento of Lole Y Manuel's "Tu Mira") and Western twang, Tarantino's choices include Morricone both familiar (The Good, the Bad and Ugly's evocative "Il Tramonto") and less so (Il mercenario's "l'arena," "A Silhoutte of Doom"), fellow Roman film scorer Luis Bacalov's slinky, guitar-driven "The Summertime Killer" and a couple disparate slices of Americana by country legend Johnny Cash and rockabilly loose cannon Charlie Feathers. The director's pop fare covers less adventuresome territory, though Malcolm McLaren's trip-hop take on the Zombie's British Invasion chestnut "She's Not There" somehow seems all-of-a-piece with the retro groove of Shivaree's "Goodnight Moon" and melodramatic kitsch of Japanese actress Meiko Kaji's "Urami Bushi." It's all interspersed with excerpts of Tarantino-penned dialog from the film, snippets that only inspire an even greater admiration for his adventurous taste as musical compiler/supervisor. -- Jerry McCulley

A good CD that suffers considerably from the missing tracks. However, as a result of searching for that which is amiss I was rewarded by finding R. Rodriguez's music, and Del Castillo.

Music From Kill Bill 2...........2006-10-09

I remember first seeing Kill Bill part 1 in the theatre, and hearing the opening track (Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang"). It was solely this track that made me want to pick up that soundtrack, and which lead me to picking up this sequel as well. I like this soundtrack much better. Yeah sure, some songs from the movie aren't on here. This album still delivers though. Among my favs:

Track 2 - Awesome soft rock song. Shivaree sounds so sexy too.
Track 4 - A great country sounding song, I love the way Charlie Feathers sings! It's kinda funny.
Track 5 - Great spanish song sung by a kid; makes me think of poor dirt road towns in Mexico
Track 10 - Not a big Johnny Cash fan, but the lyrics in this song are great. Seriously.
Track 12 - AWESOME song. I bet 100 bucks you'll like this one
Track 14 - My fav. song on the album. A GREAT latin rock song. Makes me wish I was singing that to a bunch of latinas. Man I'd get so much--err nevermind.
Track 15 - My 2nd fav. song. A great chill song sung by a Japanese Woman. Makes me think I'm in a dark empty bar in Tokyo or somethin. I dont know what's up with the rap music lateron in this track -prob. hidden- but it sucks.

Bottom line, if you have good taste in music, pick this one up. I don't ever buy soundtracks, but this one and the first kill bill OST are in my collection.

missing songs spoilt it for me.......2006-03-03

i too wish i had been more careful and read the reviews, then i would have noticed all the missings songs and that the main one i wanted ( navajo joe - ennio morricone --bills exit ) was not on there. i still would have bought it but would not have been so dissapointed when i got to the end. i also feel very cheated.
what is the point of bringing out a soundtrack and missing out songs? should it not be all of them?
i feel bills exit music was a key song that should not have been missed off, as this scene is the whole point of the films, when she finally gets her revenge and should not have been missed.

worth buying but a dissapointment

Another song missing from the soundtrack.......2006-02-24

Sounding like a flashback of the first few years of MTV, the soundtrack of The Wedding Singer starts as an intended goof and ends up quite listenable, thanks. While a couple of these songs (Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie" in particular) had already fallen off the cultural radar by 1985, when the movie's action takes place, what's most impressive is the staying power most of them hold. If anything, the Psychedelic Furs' "Love My Way" sounds even better than it did then, and of course "How Soon Is Now," and "Blue Monday" are classics that have transcended their era: Just ask Matt Pinfield. Or Adam Sandler. Or Steven Morrissey. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

If you like the movie the sound track is fun.......2007-07-12

I don't often buy sound tracks but this movie is fun and I like the songs but not enough to buy the CD's of the artists envolved here.

If you are a fan of the film or anything 80s...buy this CD!.......2007-04-20

The soundtrack to the Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore 80s retro romantic comedy "The Wedding Singer," proved to be a surprise smash hit when it was released in early 1998. So popular was the soundtrack, in fact, a second volume was released later that year.

Set in 1985, anyone vaguely familiar with 80s pop-culture knows that the film is at times off by a couple of years when it goofs on 80s styles, music and fashion. Some of the targets that were featured in this film, (i.e., Flock of Seagulls hair-style, Boy George, etc) were yesterday's news by 1985. That really doesn't matter though, as "The Wedding Singer" is still an awesome movie that's hysterical and a lot of fun.

Like the film, the soundtrack is off by a couple of years as well. Most of the hits on this CD were popular in the early 80s, a few years before the "The Wedding Singer" is set. But that doesn't really matter either, as "The Wedding Singer" soundtracks are two of the best 80s compilations ever assembled.

Focusing mostly on new wave and pop standards, "The Wedding Singer" soundtracks offer a grab-bag of hits, from the decade's most essential artists, one-hit-wonders, and the novelty acts in between.

Volume one starts out with a cover of the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star" performed by the 90s alt-pop band The Presidents of the United States of America. While it may seem odd to start off an 80s soundtrack with a 90s artist, covering a song from the 70s, it actually works just fine. It makes the soundtrack appear fresh and spices up the album a little, setting "The Wedding Singer" soundtrack apart from a million other 80s comps. The Culture Club's reggae flavored "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" is one of those songs that I'm embarrassed to admit I like...but I do. Another reggae flavored smash, the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic," is magic. The Smith's "How Soon is Now?" and the Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way" offer two off-beat, alternative classics. If I was a little embarrassed to admit I liked "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," I'm a lot more embarrassed to admit that I like the Thomson Twins "Hold Me Now," but I just can't help myself. Elvis Costello's enchanting "Everyday I Write the Book" follows nicely. One artist that managed to blend metal and new wave brilliantly was Billy Idol, and his classic "White Wedding" gives the soundtrack a little shot of adrenalin. David Bowie's "China Girl" is rather dark, yet danceable, and totally irresistible. New Order's club staple "Blue Monday" never gets old, no matter how many times I hear it. "Pass the Dutchie" by Musical Youth has never really done anything for me. I find it to be just flat out annoying. That said, I usually don't skip over it either, as it has some kind of alluring quality. Adam Sandler's original composition "Somebody Kill Me" is a lot of fun and is definitely something someone can relate to if they're broken hearted. "Rapper's Delight," featuring a bizarre intro rap by the elderly Ellen Dow (as seen in the film) is hilarious and never gets old. The actual song, performed by Sugerhill Gang is great, and is a perfect closer to the soundtrack.

I own a bunch of 80s compilation albums and the "Wedding Singer" soundtracks, volumes one and two, I rank as the very best. First, the flow of the albums are great, as all the songs just sort of fit together perfectly. Second, there isn't a bad song among the bunch. Even the "bad" songs, like the Thompson Twins "Hold Me Now," on this volume, are good. Some of these 80s comps you see are filled with top 40 standards that are just bad, as in, like...bad. Third, the inclusion of some novelties--a song by The Presidents of the United States, a Sandler original, dialogue from the film, ("Have you Written Anything Lately") and the Ellen Dow track, make this compilation unique and not just another soundtrack or another 80s hits compilation.

If you are a fan of the movie "The Wedding Singer" or anything 80s, both this soundtrack and the second volume are highly recommended.

THE WEDDING SINGER ROCKS!!!.......2006-08-18

I love The Wedding Singer! It is my favorite movie ever!!! I can watch it over and over again and not get tired of it. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore rock! Plus, not only is the movie awesome, but the soundtrack is awesome too! You can never get enough of The Wedding Singer! brie in washington (and to make the point straight, I AM almost 14, so haha to being a kid, even if this last statement was immature.)

One of the songs I'm looking for ..........2006-06-15

... isn't on this collection. OR 'Vol. 2' of this soundtrack series. If only The Cure's "Boy's Don't Cry" (in the film, it is playing in the background during the scene when Robby's best friend, Sammy, is visiting him in his basement apartment) was on either the first or second soundtrack disc of this film, there wouldn't be hesitancy to purchase (nor would there be this review, so there's the upside!). Seriously, I'm still gonna get both these discs. However, the only reason I can figure that The Cure is not on these is licensing issues.

A very good purchase.......2006-03-10

I'm very happy with the purchase. The product was delivered very fast, within the time scheduled.

Amazon.com

Anchored by a muscular, yet funky live version of Gavin DeGraw's theme song "I Don't Want to Be," this collection of music from -- and, of course, "inspired by" -- the hit WB series walks the fine line between stock-in-trade teen musical angst and decidedly more AC-friendly fare with its dignity intact. Its emotionally charged mix-tape sensibility comes courtesy of series creator/producer Mark Schwan and his music supervisors, a team who showcase the earnest contributions of show star/troubadour Tyler Hilton (including a winning duet with co-star Bethany Joy Lenz covering Ryan Adam's "When the Stars Go Blue") amidst music that's often moodier (Travis' fine "Re-Offender," the languorous "Lie in the Sound" by Trespassers William) and more aggressive ("Shoot Your Gun" by UK trio 22-20s). Still, it's an album whose heart is tender, as ably demonstrated by The Wreckers' (a collaboration between Michelle Branch and Midwest singer-songwriter Jessica Harp) bright harmonies on "The Good Kind" and an inviting acoustic version of Sheryl Crow's Grammy-nominated "First Cut is the Deepest." --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

With "One Tree Hill" becoming a youth fave in its second season its alternative pop/modern rock earns its own album. Music from the WB Television Series "One Tree Hill" features six exclusives, including Sheryl Crow's acoustic version of her hit "The First Cut is the Deepest" and Gavin Degraw's live rendering of his hit "I Don't Want To Be". Modern pop reaches its peak on One Tree Hill.

One Tree Hill Soundtrack.......2007-02-15

This is a great CD! I love listening to it in the car, before bed and at work. A lot of great songs, but I must say the second soundtrack is the best! I feel they are both must have in your collection.

The songs from this album are awesome! of course, there's the so cool one tree hill theme song "i don't want to be" by gavin degraw... and aside from it, you should try listening to "when the stars go blue" and the song from the wreckers!!! the song "mixtape" is totally a catch! i love this CD! dedicated to all tree hill fans out there!

The Cure and a reggae beat certainly make strange bedfellows as, one assumes, do Adam Sandler and a girl with no short-term memory. In that sense, the 50 First Dates soundtrack is a good accompaniment to a fluffy romantic comedy in which one of the main characters is perpetually living in the past. It's also a fitting follow-up to that other Sandler/Barrymore vehicle, The Wedding Singer. (Take a set by Robbie Hart, add a topical shirt, and voilá: a new soundtrack is born.) To those who can't get enough of '80s hits like Bryan Ferry's "Slave to Love" and the Cars' "Drive," setting them to a island beat will likely seem whimsical, charming, and perfect for barbecue weather. For those who are glad the '80s are gone, this CD is a pass. And for Sandler-completeists who crave lighthearted, comic tunes like "Forgetful Lucy," well, you obviously own this already. --Leah Weathersby

Dissapointed.......2007-06-16

My fault I assumed this CD had all the recordings from the movie but it does not.Do not assume check it out first

No "Somewhere Over the Rainbow...".......2007-03-09

I loved this movie. I bought this cd thinking it had "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" (by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole) on it as I saw it listed as such. It didn't and I had to order it elsewhere. If you buy this, be aware it doesn't have every song from the movie on it. It's a sweet, easy, fun set of 80's love songs though.

Very disappointed.......2007-01-07

I ordered this CD because when I searched for the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow, this CD came up. But, that song is not on this CD. It's full of 80 songs done by cover bands.

50 First Dates- ADVICE: READ SONG LIST BEFORE PURCHASING!.......2007-01-06

One of my favorite movies! A little disappointed with Soundtrack. It did not have all the songs from the movie on it that I liked. My fault, I just assumed it would have All the songs from the movie- I didn't read the songs on the CD before I bought it! Still an ok CD.

good soundtrack but also missing some tracks.......2006-11-25

I guess they just can't fit all the good music on the soundtrack :-(

One of my favorite missing music bits is a piece that plays near the beginning. The dolphin splashes into the water and they pan down into the office where Ula's shark bite is being stitched up. This music also plays on the main menu for the DVD. It's a very short bit. Anyone know what it is?

Amazon.com

Is it forgivable that the second volume of songs from Adam Sandler's mid-'80s-revival comedy begins with Kajagoogoo's famously limp "Too Shy"? Not really, but the rest of the disc does a good job of recapitulating worthy memories from the era of torn-sweatshirt necks and mulletheads--not just with new-wave novelties but with Madonna and Hall & Oates staples ("Holiday" and "You Make My Dreams," respectively) as bouncy and glossy as anything the also-present Depeche Mode ("Just Can't Get Enough") and Dead or Alive ("You Spin Me Round [Like a Record]") ever put on the radio or MTV. The Cars' "It's All I Can Do" and the J. Geils Band's "Love Stinks" encapsulate the Sandler character's romantic frustrations, while the star's own "Grow Old with Me" actually points toward a serious career as a singer/songwriter for our boy. Eek. --Rickey Wright

Tunes from the 80s.......2007-01-26

Loved the movie love the tunes. "Grow Old With You," especially tugs at your heart strings.

Solid sountrack if you liked the movie.......2007-01-15

This movie was a favorite in our household and my daughters always enjoyed the karaoke a the end of the DVD, so we searched for the soundtrack. I actually chose this volume over volume 1 for two reasons...it contains the favorite from the movie, "I want to grow old with you" actually sung by Adam Sandler and secondly, because Volume 1 contains the song that Adam Sandler sings about his ex-girlfriend, which contains quite a bit of profanity, so I didn't want to get it for my kids. I would have given it five stars, but we find the introduction by Billy Idol at the start of the last track, "I want to grow old with you," which is dialog from the movie, to be distracting and it gets tiring to have to listen to over and over when you just want to hear the song, which I mentioned was the absolute favorite.

As good as volume 1.......2007-01-11

This album took me back to "the good old Days". If you love 80's music this is a must have! The first volume was great but I was left wondering, "what happened to the rest of the music from the movie?" Volume 2 answered that question. You won't be sorry if you get this CD. Maybe it too will take you back to "the good old days".

Finally found it!.......2006-02-25

Aahh...the uniqueness of 80s music. Been looking for the Flying Lizards "Money" song since then. It's been on several movie sound tracks however it never made it on the 'sound track CD' until now. "Leisure Rules"

if you like the 80's.......2006-02-21

you will love this album. Truth be told I liked this one more than the first cd. The recordings are excellent.

If you're going to pitch a movie about cyber-revolutionaries to plugged-in audiences, you'd best mind your MP3s and BPMs when choosing soundtrack selections. The cynical wireheads who flock to such high-tech conspiracy flicks as Brazil and Hackers are thrillseekers of the highest caliber, and The Matrix soundtrack meets this challenge faster than a speeding cyborg. The opener, Marilyn Manson's anti-consumerism rant "Rock Is Dead," paints an aural portrait of urban decay. Ominous sirens permeate the Propellerheads' drum 'n' bass track "Spybreak!"; mournful piano alternates with hard shiny beats on Rob D's "Clubbed to Death"; and Meat Beat Manifesto fills "Prime Audio Soup" with enough bleeps to make one imagine being trapped inside a motherboard in Hell. It may sound dismal, but the friction permeating this compilation of techno, grindcore, and heavy metal is energizing enough to make fans of these genres feel the same unity as a clandestine community of hackers. --Kristy Ojala

if you liked the matrix - then you will love at least one or two of the tracks on this CD, course like most soundtracks you will likely think a couple of the tracks are complete rubbish.

A perfect compliment..........2006-12-30

Coupling angry rock anthems and brutal techno melodies, `The Matrix Soundtrack' is one of the greatest compilation discs around. With great tracks by rock gods The Deftones (My Own Summer being one of the greatest rock songs ever), the devil himself Marilyn Manson (Rock is Dead is a brutal way to open this soundtrack) and German masochists Rammstein (Du Hast will never get old), this soundtrack is sure to please just about every fan of heavy rock. Rob Zombie gives us a great remix to a great song, Prodigy always pleases and Lunatic Calm gives us `Leave You Far Behind', which is like the essential action movie song. The greatest track here though has to be Rob. D's `Clubbed to Death' which is just fantastic, and who can forget the feeling they felt when Rage came on the stereo as the credits for this fantastic film began to roll (Wake Up is a great way to close the soundtrack as well as the movie). This is an impressive album that is sure to satisfy you hunger for good music!
