DO NOT BUY THIS SOUNDTRACK!. The songs on it are completely awesome. You will listen to them over and over again, evenutally getting several of them stuck in your head all at once. It's very annoying! Just go listen to an album with a bunch of safe, poppy songs, like the Jennifer's Body soundtrack or something.

Though I love this soundtrack... they left out some REALLY good music.
Firstly, they do not have Matthew Patel's song, which is EPIC.
They also do not have the techno song from Roxy VS Ramona.
Scott VS Todd Base battle is not on it...
There's also music from when he is fighting various other people, such as Gideon, that are not on this CD.
Most of these songs are the reason I WANTED this soundtrack.
BUT, they do have all the Sex-bob-omb songs and The Crash and the Boys stuff.
Still worth the buy- but really sad that they don't have those tracks!

In reading the other posted review, I find it incredibly hard to agree with anything that was stated. Obviously, as with all music, your appreciation for the bands and the music is a completely subjective matter.
I can state, in no uncertain terms, that if you are a fan of the books (which I am, to the point where I have a Ramona Flowers tattoo on my arm!), and if you found even a little bit of enjoyment in watching the TRAILERS (which I have, repeatedly), then this soundtrack will make you incredibly happy. I have not yet seen the film, but I have absolutely no doubt that the music will fit wonderfully, both for the "fake" bands in the movie, and the real ones who have provided music for the soundtrack.
If you feel like reading about WHY this is such a great soundtrack, please check out my official review here:[...]
I hope this helps put to rest any doubts you might have had about checking this soundtrack out. The movie is going to SLAY, the books are phenomenal, and the soundtrack is both a fitting and fantastic addition to the expanding Scott Pilgrim world. And since music is one of the most important things about that world, we should all be rejoicing about the fact that the soundtrack, the bands included (real and fake), and the director of the film are so spot on.

Listened to the streaming soundtrack and had to have it.
A collection of great songs from various artists as well as new songs by Beck and Sex Bob-omb (Also Beck, I believe). Awesome music to keep me happy til the movie opens.

The film was a great adaptation of the book and really captured it's spirit. This is a book/movie/soundtrack about love and music. All fit together perfectly. This is just enough garage rock to get me going. Beck's work on this project really helped keep the sound where it needed to be. Studio quality with real production value but a sound that emulates that of resourceless garage bands.
Just what the doctor ordered.

It's all good. If you watched the movie and thought, like I did, "Wow, this is awesome and pretty much perfectly scored." then you know what to expect. Highlights include Frank Black's "I Heard Ramona Sing" (featured during the party scene where that 'Pac Man Guy' tried to hit on Ramona Flowers), Metric's "Black Sheep" (The Clash at Demonhead's performance song, though notably absent is a version of the track with vocals by Brie Larson/Envy), and Blood Red Shoes' offering of "It's Getting Boring by the Sea".
But maybe you're more interested in hearing Crash and the Boys playing "I'm So Sad, So Very, Very, Sad" or the four stellar Sex Bob-ombs tracks (behind which one finds the hand of Beck himself).
The only problem is that whenever one of these songs comes up in my playlist, I'm instantly in the mood to watch the movie again, and I'm reeeaaally bad at resisting watching the movie. And it's, like, just shy of two hours. I guess I could have worse things to worry about, though, so that's not so bad.

This is a great soundtrack as others have stated.
However, the version of Black Sheep contained in the album isn't the one used in the film. This is the original version by Metric, not the cover song by the actress for Envy in the movie. I will not speak ill of Metric, but because this is a movie soundtrack, I quite disappointed the movie version of Black Sheep isn't on this album, including all those, "Oh, yeahs."

These are most of the songs from the movie.
The end.
Just kidding...there has seldom been such a loving melding of film and music, and the songs, while not always to my taste, are exactly what is needed in the movie when they appear. I found myself rather liking Sex-Bob-Omb, probably because the sloppy crunchiness sort of reminded me of my band in high school, where tightness played back seat to enthusiasm. Not that our songs were written by Beck!
My only complain is that this is not ALL the music. As has been stated in these reviews many times, leaving out Brie Larson's wonderful cover of "Black Sheep" was a major error. And there are two more complete Sex-Bob-Omb songs that are missing. I wish they'd made this more complete, and if they needed room...well, I don't think the world needs another copy of "Under My Thumb".
And many kudos to the cast members who played their own instruments and sang!! Only Cera and Larson had previous experience, and learning to play even basic rock like the Sex-Bob-Omb songs from zero to recorded-and-on-the-soundtrack in just a few months--while learning fighting and wirework and, y'know, acting--gets major respect from me. I wasn't as good on the drums as Pill for at least six months, and that was all I was doing in my spare time (although that may say more about my tragic lack of musical talent than anything else).

After more than a Year I still Listen
Beck did a wonderful job with the Sex-Bob-Om Songs, and the whole album just has a great feel. I enjoy most of the songs on the album (not a big stones fan). Read more

Love this!
Being a fan of the movie, it was a no brainer I would eventually purchase the soundtrack. I debated about buying on itunes but realized that you could not get all the songs. Read more

Awesome movie surrounded by Awesome soundtrack
At some point, after seeing this movie several times, it was time to get the fantastic soundtrack on CD. The case had a little crack in it, but that didn't effect the CD at all. Read more

A great film with a great soundtrack
Few movies are as much fun as this one and if you agree you NEED the music.

Sex bob-Omb and Crash and the Boyz are worth the purchase alone.

We are Sex Bob-omb 1,2,3,4
Becks alter ego comes to life within the sounds of Sex Bob-omb. This album screams the greatness of the past ( the 90's ). This is a great mix of bands. Read more

Metric rocks; Threshold (8 bit) surprisingly fun
I'll admit, I bought this album almost entirely on the weight of Metric's Black Sheep and my love of the overall feel of Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. Read more
