1.0 out of 5 stars "Deceptive" to call this a Soundtrack, February 10, 2002

This review is from: Wag the Dog (Audio CD)

All the best music from the film is glaringly missing. Willy Nelson's work, plus "Good Old Shoe", "Courage Mom", "The American Dream", (We Are The World" spoof), plus "God Bless the Men Of The 303" all moronically left out. This is not a Soundtrack but just a brief representation of Knopfler's own music from the film. NOT worth the money. All of the best has been gutted out!!

1.0 out of 5 stars The recognizeable songs from the movie are MISSING!, January 8, 2005

This review is from: Wag the Dog (Audio CD)

I bought this so called soundtrack for ONLY one song, Merle Haggard's "Courage Mom". It's not on the CD and neither are Willie Nelson's cuts. Grrrr...there are 24 minutes worth of worthless tracks on this CD. One track with inaudible lyrics and 7 others that sound like elevator music. I would give this ZERO stars, but the default is 1-5. Total rip-off!

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing much - not a soundtrack, February 23, 2003

This review is from: Wag the Dog (Audio CD)

I love the music on this album, but am very upset (like others here) so much of the good and fun music in the movie isn't here. Certainly it wasn't a space consideration. Definitely not a sound track. Definitely a *short* collection of knoffler's work done for the movie. Calling it a soundtrack is most misleading.
