5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a soundtrack, a true '90s gem., December 5, 2003

By

This review is from: Angus: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

If you read my "Favorite Movies" list or read my review, you'd know that "Angus" is one of my all-time favorite movies. To me, it captures the spirit of the mid-90s more than anything else. And here is the soundtrack to accompany it. Every song on here is at least good, and any time I pop it in and listen to the punk/alternative songs on here, I automatically become wistful for the days of pogs and Sega.

But I digress. Now onto the album:

1. Green Day - JAR: The song everybody's familiar with. Not the best GD song ever, but still great.
2. Ash - Jack Names The Planets: Mid-tempo alt rocker with a funny intro. Very nice.
3. Dance Hall Crashers - Enough: Faster, with a female lead vocalist. Still very catchy. "Shut up and we'll be fine..."
4. Ash - Kung Fu: More Ash, but this one's faster than JNTP. (And, IMHO, better.)
5. The Riverdales - Back To You: VERY Ramonesish, but not in a ripoff way. Joey would be proud.
6. Smoking Popes - Mrs. You And Me: Decent, but the lead vocalist just sounds too nasal. But it's still an okay track.
7. Weezer - You Gave Your Love To Me Softly: Short, but sweet love song. Does anyone know what "Leijon" (sp?) is?
8. Goo Goo Dolls - Ain't That Unusual: I'm not really a GGD fan, but for some reason, I love this song. Mid-tempo, kind of nice.
9. Muffs - Funny Face: Pretty good, but I usually skip it. It's a little bit slower.
10. Tilt - White Homes: Great song, faster and more punkish.
11. Pansy Division - Deep Water: Decent acoustic song.
12. Love Spit Love - Am I Wrong: The soundtrack's big curveball. It's a slower song backed by a marching band. But it's really good.

By the way, the song they left out (the one where Angus dances with Melissa) was "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Starr. Dunno why they left it off.

But anyway, if you're a '90s lover like me, then buy the movie, and the soundtrack, and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars You buy a CD for one song..., March 3, 2000

...and you see where it gets you. This CD is incredible. I bought it for the opening song in the film ('Am I Wrong' by Love Spit Love), but have enjoyed it for all the other tracks.

From what I understand, the song referenced above was not written with the marching band in it. That was added for the film. Incredible. It's my favorite movie opening.

5.0 out of 5 stars something's missing in here, November 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Angus: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

the song "fade into you by mazzy star" was featured in the movie (angus) but how come the song was not featured on the soundtrack. It made me real mad cause the song plays a huge part in the movie the song was played when angus danced the girl of his dreams the part that really made me cry. Dont get me wrong i still love the cd but i pretty much enjoy watching the movie.
