1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware - Packaging Deceptive, February 21, 2006

I'm listening to this CD for the third time since I bought it this past weekend, trying to figure out why it is not what I remembered from the movie. The music is OK, although not exactly my taste. However I kept asking myself why did I like the music from the movie so much when this doesn't do much for me. Was it merely the context of a GREAT movie? From an Amazon search, I realized that there are two different (but visually very similar...same graphics, different photo) Crash (the movie) CD's... the actual Soundtrack and the "music inspired by". Whereas I have no criticism of the music itself, the packaging is extremely deceptive, and irresponsible. I will buy the "real" soundtrack and probably never listen to this again. ($15 wasted). I would also have to comment that the "inspiration" referred to on the cover is also a serious stretch of the truth. This is a pop-hip-hoppish album whereas the actual soundtrack is a Mark Isham piece... very different. And, the cover says "music from and inspired by".. which is only true on a technicality. There is only one song on this CD that is on the soundtrack. To those who knew what they were buying and like this music, more power to you. But I would imagine that I'm not alone in mistaking this CD for the actual soundtrack, as it was the only only Crash CD in the soundtrack section of my local Borders. I would encourage record labels to differentiate the graphics on two very different CD's so that consumers get what they expected. Confusion like this doesn't serve either audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME DISC - COOL CONCEPT, June 11, 2005

By

This review is from: Crash: Music From & Inspired By Crash (Audio CD)

I loved the movie and the music in Crash. This CD is an amazing collection of songs from the movie and inspired by the film. Normally, "inspired by" albums are just songs misplaced in some random compilation. However, the music here really feels like it has a connection to the storylines and mood of the film. I was particularly impressed with the fact that there are no gaps between the songs and multiple genres play in sequence seamlessly. Very cool concept!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Once people discover this CD it will become the "Garden State" of 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Past reviewers...look at the title of the CD more closely, September 11, 2005

THIS IS NOT THE MOVIE SOUNDTRACK!!!

There are some songs from the movie here but there are also songs "inspired" by the movie (similar to BT's CD of songs inspired by the movie Monster).

Don't ding the CD because you had wrong expectations or couldn't comprehend its intent.

If you want the soundtrack, go buy the soundtrack.

Sheesh!
