REVIEW
Since
I have used up much of my acerbic reserves for the Miami Vice
soundtrack review, I shall attempt to be less bitchy towards
TDWP soundtrack. Because I like Anne Hathaway in Brokeback
Mountain. Also because I need better karma. The
TDWP soundtrack consists of some catchy pop tunes, a few classics
and four classy club/lounge tracks. Generally, this album
starts off with songs that you are very familiar with, such
as Madonna’s Vogue and U2’s City of Blinding Lights,
and it progressively works in the better stuff from artists
such as DJ Colette and Azure Ray, ending with a nice jazzy
score from the movie by Theodore Shapiro, who did, among many
other hits, Fun with Dick and Jane. Erm.
While
the soundtrack grows on you as you listen along I feel that
the overall tone of the album is a tad too low-key, uncool
for a swanky show I imagine TDWP imagines itself to be. There
are tracks from Jamiroquai but Moby and Alanis Morissette
as well, unfortunately. Remember, excessive Moby causes irreparable
brain damage. I don’t even want to think about what
Alanis can do to you mentally. However, the tracks do manage
to convey a perky upbeat disposition which I hope can be found
in the movie’s protagonist.
So is
this a good soundtrack? Well, there are many enjoyable tracks
in the album, but it lacks identity.
If
you have to be mean, this soundtrack lacks personality and
cohesiveness. But heck, the soundtrack does include several
nice songs.
