5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome soundtrack with powerful themes and guitar riffs, June 6, 2004

The soundtrack to lethal weapon 2 is absolutely beautiful; the theme in 'Riggs and Roger' that recurs in 'Goodnight Rika' and 'Riggs' is powerful and moving; Georfe Harrison's 'Cheer Down' represents brilliant rock and roll; and the other tracks are instrumental rock and roll beauty. All in all it is a wonderful soundtrack to accompany a wonderful movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars George at his best, June 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Lethal Weapon 2 (Audio CD)

Can't say as I have heard the album.....but...."Cheer Down" as performed by the late, great George Harrison is one of the finest songs of it's genre...the lyrics are absolutely dripping with cycnicism....its also got a nice melody too....

I bought the album purely on the strength of this song alone.....Beatle fans everywhere....you won't be disappointed by this offering....the album is worth it for this song alone....forget the rest....this song is George at his best...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, groovy Jazzy tunes, December 12, 2004

This soundtrack has to be the best of the Lethal Weapon soundtracks. With the great George Harrison singing "Cheer Down" with incredible ryhthm and Randy Crawford performing "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". Just for these two this OST is worthy.

The real gem however is the collaborations of Eric Clapton and David Sanborn. Just listen to track 4 ("Riggs"), Sanborn's saxophone and Clapton's electronic guitar merge perfectly to create one of the most groovy tunes I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Simply perfect.

The late Michael Kamen does an incredible job of orchestrating the other tunes in this OST as well.

Well worth the price, if you ever loved the LW series or just like jazzy tunes in general, then this is for you. This is a soundtrack that have stayed with me for years and I still like to listen to it while cruising in my car.
