The soundtrack album is actualy a european version where the music in the movie is slightly different. It's an excellent compilation including Travis`version of "the weight" and europe's most recent rock breakout "underwater circus"! Higly recommendable.

This soundtrack perfectly compliments an inspiring movie. The artists compiled are peerless and this is a great opportunity to sample new music in order to increase a music collection.

Great item to have.

I really loved this movie so i thought i would love the soundtrack. and guess what...i did!! it was all the great music from the movie and everytime i listen to it i remember all the parts in the movie where the music appeared. just buy this if you like good music and you love !gby goes down. if you don't then move on.

As one of the better soundtracks to come out in the recent past, the tracks fit well in the movie and they fit even better on a CD of their own. Established artists Travis, Coldplay, Beta Band, Dandy Warhols, and Badly Drawn Boy put in appearances with lesser-knowns and soon-to-be-knowns that are just as good. The collection of indie pop mixes upbeat and downer songs in just the right balance to fit any mood and any day. The Dandy Warhols Bohemian Like You rocks you and Beta Band shines in Broken Up A Ding Dong, my two favorite cuts. But all in all, a stable mix of excellent performances that perfectly compliments an excellent movie.

It's an unusual selection for the overall tone of the movie. But crazily enough, the UK-imports so popular in North America right now (coldplay) mix very well with the Scandinavian greats such as jelly planet. However, this soundtrack doesn't contain all the tracks played in the movie, but they do a good job fitting some of the more memorable tracks on there. From the feel good anthem by Travis to the sullen dejected track, "dont panic" by coldplay. It all manages to pull itself off quite nicely, and like all movie soundtracks, you can pinpoint the moment that each track is played. A personal favourite is the Red House Painters track. Check it out.

Wish I had a profound and novel review to give about this movie. But simply put, it is one of my favorites. Great storyline, and stellar performances, especially by Kieran Culkin. Watch the ending scene with his mother and tell me you don't cry. A must have for any movie collection.

this is a great soundtrack. it fits the movie perfectly, adds to the movie, and the artists are all excellent.
