5.0 out of 5 stars What a suprise!!!, August 16, 2010

I saw the movie and was hooked on the song Bankrobber. Not being a huge Clash fan, I looked at all the different CDs that song was on. Listened to the clips of the songs on the CD and thought it sounded pretty good. Turns out I was wrong, it is amazing. This is a great CD for popping in on a long drive. I love that it criss-crosses genres as well as entire generations of music. Its also put in a proper order. I highly recommend this CD.

Funny thing about getting older is it becomes hard to tell whether a music CD is rubbish, or you're just losing your musical faculties. I was listening to a number of albums in the car (e.g. Mutations by Beck & Hot Fuzz Soundtrack) and couldn't get the killer hook.

Then I played this CD. OH MY GOD is it good! Even though I haven't (yet) seen the film, I got into this instantly.

From the first dialogue track ('Ppl ask the question'), the Gangster Rock ethos floods out of the stereo, with awesome tracks such as 'I'm a Man' & 'Rock & Roll Queen'. Highlights also include 'The Gun' by Lou Reed and 'Such a Fool', although every track is the sort of raw, gritty heart-pounding brilliance that one would expect from the title, but which few could deliver...

Like all truly excellent soundtracks, this one has a load of tracks you probably haven't heard or (if you have) you can't place (e.g. 'Bank Robber' by the Clash).
Furthermore, the dialogue is an excellent selection AND (unlike Hot Fuzz Soundtrack) is separated from the music, so it can be sampled by aspiring DJ's.

Truth be known, musical appreciation does not fade with age but rather becomes more astute. Not only is this shown by the fact that compilations such as these can be filtered from the usual dross, but also by the fact that Guy Ritchie can still make soundtracks as good as his zenith of Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Here's hoping the film is as good...
