How could they publish this soundtrack without the most definitive song from the movie - "9 Crimes" from Damien Rice? Anyone who has seen the movie knows what I'm referring. Quite a shame - I wouldn't waste the money on this CD.

I agree with a previous reviewer about the omission of "9 Crimes" by Damien Rice. The song has explicit lyrics, and the producers may have felt it was an inappropriate choice. However, why they chose to keep it in the movie we can only guess! I got the song from iTunes. Beautiful!

I was surprised and disappointed that the soundtrack left out "9 Crimes" by Damien Rice.

This is an awesome soundtrack it is enjoyable and fun to listen to. The best songs on this cd are all of them

This is good overall. But, where is 9 crime as other people asking the same thing? It is not included!! I am a bit disappointed in that.

The original Shrek Soundtrack was the best soundtrack ever. I still listen to it and it has a permanent slot in my car's cd player. The 2nd soundtrack blew. The 3rd? Eh. I haven't bothered. 9 Crimes by Damien Rice, however, is a great song. The woman singing in it is Lisa Hannigan and the song is available as a CD single and as one of the tracks on his "9" CD.

The soundtrack to Shrek the third, like it's predecessors, features a diverse array of artists. While not as good as the first (which was brilliant - by the way, to the other reviewer, it DID have Rufus Wainwright singing "Hallelujah" on it, I have the cd), this is still very good. Having not seen the movie yet (so I don't know what was omitted), and having already owned "9 crimes" by Damien Rice (on his "9" album) whose omission bothered most, I'm writing my review based on the music on the cd.

Appearing again (he's been on all 3 soundtracks) is Eels, opening with the upbeat "Royal pain", and appearing again the sunny but merlancholic "Losing streak".

Black Eyed Pea Fergie does a chugging version of the Heart rocker "Barracuda". "Best days" by Matt White is sunny and upbeat, the choppy rocker "Joker and the thief" by Wolfmother (with wailing vocals), the jangly, midtempo "Other ways" by Trevor Hall (great voice), and "What I gotta do" is a soulful ballad by Macy Gray (also featured on her superb new CD "Big").

We get the singing donkey again, Eddie Murphy (with Antonio Banderas), on a remake of the funky Sly & The Family Stone hit "Thank You (Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Again)". "Final showdown" is a showtune like piano ballad by Maya Rudolph and Rupert Everett, and "Charming's plan" is a sweeping cinematic instrumental by Harry Greggson-Williams.

Some oldies show up; "Immigrant song" by Led Zeppelin, "Live & let die" by Wings, "Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?" by The Ramones, and the lovely "Cats in the cradle" by Harry Chapin.

Good, 4 and a half stars really!

Soundtrack is okay, but I was disappointed they didn't just use the original version of Barracuda by Heart. Why a cover & why Fergie? Sorry, but she's not in the same league as Ann & Nancy Wilson.

a notable collection, I love the song by trevor hall there's more of his stuff on itunes, he's great!

This is not so much a review, but a message to the folks who compiled this soundtrack. After seeing the movie, the song I most wanted was the Damien Rice song 9 Crimes. Why on earth was it left off of the CD? I wouldn't have even known what the song was if it weren't for other reviewers, whom I would like to thank for the information about the song and for saving me the money. I will purchase the Damien Rice CD, but I will not purchase this soundtrack, at least not at full price. I'll wait until I find it in the cheap bin at the local record shop.
