4.0 out of 5 stars They forgot many many songs in the movie, June 18, 2007

I love the movie hands down of course. But the soundtrack, what in the heck were they thinking? Yes some songs that were in the movie are included in the movie soundtrack but they should of included all of the songs in the movie!

If I had to redo the soundtrack over again, here is what I would include:
You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) - Dope
Monologue 1 - John Cale
Walking on Sunshine: Katrina and the Waves
Something In The Air (American Psycho remix)- David Bowie
Lady in red; Chris DeBurgh
Watching Me Fall (Underdog remix)- The Cure
John Cale's Dialogue to bartender during New order song
New Order-True Faith
Addicted to Love-Robert Palmer
The christmas carol played at evelyn's christmas party
Monologue 2 - John Cale
Trouble - Daniel Ash
John Cale's dialogue during hip to be square
Hip to be square-Huey Lewis and the News
Genesis-In too deep
John Cale dialogue when Sussudio is playing
Sussudio-Phil Collins
Paid In Full (Coldcut remix) - Eric B. & Rakim
Who Feelin' It (Philip's Psycho mix) - Tom Tom Club
Monologue 3 - John Cale (during information society song)
What's On Your Mind - Information Society (Pure Energy mix)
Pump Up The Volume - M/A/R/R/S
Whitney Houston dialogue by John Cale (There were would be no need to skip over to track 98)
The greatest love of all (movie instrumental)
Paid In Full - The Racket (remix)
Chainsaw noise &"christie" screaming--from the movie
Track 98--The Closing dialogue from the movie

But still including stuff from the 80's and a remake of phil collins "in the air.." and dead or alive's "you spin me around.." earns the soundtrack a 4 in my book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Killer soundtrack., June 23, 2003

This review is from: American Psycho: Music From The Controversial Motion Picture (Audio CD)

Like any cd ever released, this could have been better, plus or minus a few songs. What's missing most are the "Phil Collins", and especially "Huey Lewis" songs. "Hip to be Square" was THE song of the movie. However, what's included is all good stuff, be it 80's tunes, or more modern rock. You can't go wrong with "The Cure", "David Bowie", or "Daniel Ash" (from "Love&Rockets"). The tracks from "Eric B. & Rakim" and "Tom Tom Club" are fun, and the "Information Society" song, well that's pure energy of course. Probably what makes this soundtrack a "cut" above the rest, are the monologue's from Patrick Bateman himself. He covers everything you need to know about diet and exercise, emotions, and "Whitney Houston". Bloody good movie too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the obvious choices, August 14, 2001

This review is from: American Psycho: Music From The Controversial Motion Picture (Audio CD)

Fans of the film will immediately notice that the most obvious and up-front tracks from the film have not been included on this disc. Sussudio, Hip to Be Square, Simply Irresistible, Walkin' on Sunshine, Lady in Red--none of these songs appear on the soundtrack. Which means people either like this disc or hate it. Personally, I do like what they have included here. However, I think the film warranted a better overall release, and I don't just mean song selection.

For instance, like many recent films that have featured extensive period music (Grosse Pointe Blank, The Wedding Singer, Boogie Nights), it may have been a nice idea to release 2 separate CDs. One could have been the songs mentioned above, all of the obvious choices, and the other could be this one, the single offical release. While I appreciate the choice by the album producers NOT to put the most obvious tracks on the disc and instead opt for a more eclectic selection from the film, you still have to wonder how they DID NOT release another disc with Sussudio and the other major tracks as there have to be legions of people who would snatch that up....

As for the music, there are some good, fun late '80s tracks here. My favorite would be the classic Coldcut remix of Erik B and Rakim's Paid in Full. The other highlights include You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) by Dope, True Faith by New Order, What's On Your Mind by Information Society, and of course Pump up the Volume by M/A/R/R/S. Sure, they're all the most popular tracks, but they comprise very good selection and work well on one disc. Also featured is a David Bowie song from his last album that plays over the closing credits. Another non-80s song is The Cure's Watching Me Fall, which is given a fantastic remix treatment here from Underdog.... It's a fantastic, moody but dancy track with Robert Smith's distorted vocals. And on the subject of Goth there's also a nice Daniel Ash track....

Oh, and be sure to let the final track play all the way out. There's a bonus track of dialogue, featuring Patrick Bateman's serious, detailed analysis of Whitney Houston's music that's quite funny.
