5.0 out of 5 stars C-c-cool b-b-beans...cool, c-c-cool be-be-bee-beans!, August 12, 2007

The soundtrack to the surprisingly original, at times bizarre, always hilarious comedy "Hot Rod" is awesome! The music selection was one of the best things about the movie, thankfully someone was smart and released a soundtrack that is all it should be!

Every fun 80's song I loved in the film is here, however the price of the album is well worth it for "Cool Beans" alone...I can't believe they included that and I could not be happier about it!

One of the best things about the Hot Rod soundtrack is the inclusion of the fantastic segments of original instrumental music by Trevor Rabin, which tends to remind me of Tangerine Dream. Some tracks are also one-liners or dialogue from the movie which is something that normally annoys me mainly because it tends to be far, far overused and poorly executed (i.e. the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack--geez!) but in this case it is just right and seamlessly implemented with the music.

I think a lot of people will love the nostalgic 80s tunes from the film and can fully enjoy the soundtrack even if they did not like the movie, maybe even if they have not seen the movie (although the dialogue and "Cool Beans" will be completely lost on them which would be a shame).

Bottom line: Great selection of fun songs and instrumental score arranged together perfectly. This is everything I want out of a soundtrack!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved This, August 21, 2007

By	JadedCritic - See all my reviews

The soundtrack has a nice mix of songs to cater to the varied and random taste of any hipster in their late 20's. "Two of Hearts" and "Never" took me back to my days of jelly bracelets and gravity defying bangs. There are plenty of terrible power ballads to rock out to, and a few techno-ish tracks thrown in for good measure. However, it's the last track, the unlikely "Cool Beans" gangsta rap featuring B-Legit, that makes this soundtrack a real winner. I was pleasantly surprised by the movie, and now I've been pleasantly surprised by the soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars I mean it started out super positive then it just got CRAZY, August 24, 2008

This soundtrack does everything a soundtrack SHOULD do.

Some of those being it actually has all of the main songs used during the film and includes some of the great quotes from the film.

My favorite tracks are 'A Gringo Like Me', 'You're The Voice' and 'Time Has Come'.

Even if you've never seen the film it stands strong as a great 80's c.d. that can definitely get you in the mood to party!
