'You Made Me the Thief...' was the reason I bought this soundtrack (besides loving the movie), and I have since come to enjoy the other tracks as well. Bono is great on the title track. (Bono on anything is good.) I also dig the theme. This soundtrack is eclectic, yet well blended in its genres of pop, hard rock, classical and alternative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Talent personified throughout, October 22, 1998

This review is from: In The Name Of The Father: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is surely one of the best soundtracks of the modern era- mainly due to its fabulous mix of film score (Trevor Jones) and the songs purposely written by Bono and Gavin Friday. The powerful last song is one to treasure. The best work here though, is the blood curdling celtic feel mixed with pure anger which runs through the title track.

This review is from: In The Name Of The Father: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The movie is so moving, and with any good movie, the soundtrack plays an important role in the overall success. It underscores the mood the visual is saying and this is a prime example of a mix of old, new and very old, talent and choices that work well to give this film such power and impact.

Bono's dark and driving title cut, is vital, powerful and full of rage, simply perfect to kick off a move full of energy and rage. The soundtrack smartly moves then to using older cuts, like the old Irish pub fav Whiskey in the Jar, the marvellous Ray Davies' poke at English Carnaby era Dedicated Follower of Fashion, and Hendrix's Voodoo Child and Is this Love by Bob Marley. Finishing up with Sinead O' Connor poignant and haunting You Made Me The Thief of Your Heart....well it just does not get any better than this!
