REVIEW
So
what music do the young punks who helped propel the SOAP into
the internet pop culture sensation that it is listen to? The
album producers probably recognized that the phenomenon was
partly buoyed by the kitschy quirky irrelevance that permeates
the young punk culture nowadays and they went all out to appease
the target crowd (think about two million Paul Twohills).
Producer
Jason Linn and the folks working on the soundtrack provided
just the right answer with a smart collection of dance/remix
and emopunk tracks, replete with some M18 lines from the movie
itself. The album got on to a great start with the riotously
infectious Snakes on a Plane (Bring It), a collaboration by
groups involved in the soundtrack and didn’t let up
with tracks by the Moonman-winning Panic! At The Disco, The
Academy Is … and Fall Out Boy. Serious, I still cannot
get the first track out of my head and the subsequent tracks
were rock solid.
The album
leveled off some seven tracks in, but was rescued by an audacious
serving of acoustic emo slow rock, reggae and laidback surfer
dude music. The sheer impudence of the collection even made
the movie score at the end of the soundtrack a thorough mood
dampener.
Really,
if this uncle likes the soundtrack, then it must be solid
gold.
