man, this is awesome! i couldn't stand the movie. don't watch it--turn this into the soundtrack for your own life. "Feather in Your Cap" has got to be my all-time favorite Beck song. This version of "Sunday" is perfect, as is "Bee-Bee's Song". and then to end with "Town without Pity"? how cool is that?!

Aside from the praise that this soundtrach deservedly gets, with cool bands like Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers and Flaming Lips, the only bad song that sticks out is a really uninspired UNKLE song. Why choose this song, a tune that I can't remember in the film, to Ministry's excellent 'NWO' which was really prominent? These are slim pickings though, because the soundtrack is amazing nonetheless!!

This review is from: Suburbia: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1997 Film) (Audio CD)

SubUrbia (1997), directed by Richard Linklatter, is NOT a remake of the 80's movie of the same name. It has NOTHING to do with it. That aside, it is a decent film with an awesome soundtrack. Unlike most rock soundtracks which try to include as many "current" or "hot" artists like the Scream soundtrack and all the movies that followed it, SubUrbia tries to capture a feel. Like the charcters in the movie who graduated high school back in the early half of the ninties and are still living in it, the soundtrack includes tracks from Sonic Youth, the Butthole Surfers, the Flaming Lips, and others who hit their peaks back in the day too. However, this is not a lame comeback album for anyone. From the opening Elastica track (with vocals from stephen Malkmus (sic) from Pavement) to the simply awesome "Sunday" by Sonic Youth, this album is all killer, no filler. And they even had the guts to end it all with Gene Pitney singing "Town Without Pity". Definitely one of the best soundtracks of the decade, and even though two of the songs aren't even from the nineties, one of the best soundtracks TO the decade.
