4.0 out of 5 stars Pencil-pushers of the world unite!, January 10, 2002

This review is from: Office Space: The Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I could've cried while watching "Office Space." When I wasn't laughing myself hoarse, I was reliving my daily despair through the poor souls onscreen. Using hard-core rap to express the frustration and anger of these STAGGERINGLY non-black characters is the perfect touch.

As to the tunes themselves: the soundtrack works about 75% of the time. "Big Boss Man" and "9-5" don't do a lot for me. "Down for Whatever" makes the scene when used in the film. Mike Judge was smart enough not to just make fun of white guys listening to rap; he used rap to convey how badly these cubicle-bound saps want to break out of their lives. Geto Boys' "Still" is, well, a pretty hostile track.

You'll get whiplash the first time going from "Still" to Perez Prado's jubilant "Mambo #8." My fondest wish for all you good citizens out there is that the soundtrack will cause you to rent the film. Call in sick to work, line up ten beers in front of you and enjoy the great cathartic document of corporate angst which is "Office Space."

3.0 out of 5 stars The real magic is in the movie, April 4, 2000

This review is from: Office Space: The Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Some of the songs on this soundtrack, such as Damn, It Feels Good To Be a Gangsta and No Tears are catchy, but the thing that really makes the album a winner is the movie. Everytime I hear one of the tracks on the album, I think of the scene in the movie where that song was played, and that's what makes this album good. If the songs didn't remind me of the movie, I doubt I'd like it much at all. I recommend buying this album, but only if you've seen the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Damn It Feels GOOD!, November 25, 2002

This soundtrack is amazing. Why? The best soundtracks can make you recall the exact scene they were playing behind, and even though these songs are so seemingly detached from this movie, every song will make you go "Oh yeah!"

And the best track of course is "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" by the Geto Boys. I can't help feeling like life would be SO much better if "Gangsta" was always playing in the background.

Ummmmmmm................... YEA-aaah...... (Bill Lumberg-style)
