SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:
With sexpot Megan Fox looking longingly at us on the album
cover, how can we concentrate on writing this review? But
with alternative rock band Florence + The Machine’s
kick ass opening track “Kiss with a Fist” taking
off the teen soundtrack album, we managed to remain composed
and focus on listening to the 15 songs on this 52 minute disc,
and making a sense of how these tracks are a better substitute
to spending a weekend afternoon fantasizing about Fox’s,
oops, we mean Jennifer’s Body (that’s the title
of the horror comedy in case you don’t know already).
In what most people refer to as “soul inspired indie”,
the opening track of this soundtrack is an attention grabber.
The playful tone of the song is apt for the movie which is
made to bank on Fox’s sough after sex appeal. Las Vegas
based rock band Panic! at the Disco’s “New Perspective”
then comes along and sets a teenage angst mood, never once
leaving the idea that Fox has a great attraction to most male
species.
Rock band Paramore’s lead vocalist and keyboardist Hayley
Williams then takes over with “Teenagers”, a song
which will remind you of the radio friendly songs you often
hear on radio. This, of course, is an apt inclusion on the
soundtrack about the deliciously attractive young girl played
by Fox, who is a devil in disguise. The highlight of the disc
comes in the form of English electropop musician Little Boots’
“New In Town”. The catchy song makes us want to
go along for a car ride with the gorgeous Fox – we’d
have so much fun.
The rest of the soundtrack spoils us with pleasant songs like
emo acoustic rock band Dashboard Confessional’s “Finishing
School” (this one is a sure win inclusion in a teenage
girl’s mobile music player), pop punk band Cute is What
We Aim For’s “Time” (this one is dripping
with independent spirit) and synth pop band Cobra Starship’s
“Chew Me Up & Spit Me Out” (a very apt song
title for this monster movie).
Arghh – try as we might we cannot take out our minds
off Fox’s longing stare on this soundtrack album cover.
The music, as varied as it is, almost becomes secondary. We
are left wondering – why don’t Fox contribute
a song to make this collection complete?
ALBUM RATING:
Recommended Track: : (4) New In Town – Little Boots
