Quentin Tarantino is the master when it comes to using music in movies. No matter what the situation, the music always perfectly captures the emotion that you are seeing on screen. "Django Unchained" is one of the most interesting and diverse movie soundtracks to be released in a long time. I highly recommend it (along with all of Tarantino's other soundtracks - check out "Jackie Brown" and "Inglourious Basterds" if you haven't done so already).
There are a lot of great songs on this album - a few newly produced for the film, but most are older songs. My two personal favorites are "Who Did That to You?" by John Legend and "100 Black Coffins" by Rick Ross. But every song on this album is memorable.
Instead of using an original score, Tarantino uses existing music from classic films. Therefore, on this album you will find tracks from the great film composers Ennio Morricone and Jerry Goldsmith. Among them, "Sister Sara's Theme" and "Un Monumento" are the best. These cues have been taken from other westerns and have been re-purposed for use in Tarantino's film.
Another unqiue touch is that this album includes some dialogue from the film... normally this would be useless on a soundtrack, but the writing in this film is so great and the actors deliver the lines in a way that almost make it sound musical. So while listening to this album, every once in a while you'll hear a memorable quote from Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L. Jackson, among others.
**Note: iTunes seems to have an exclusive 24th track - "Ode to Django" by RZA.

I know, I know. 1 star is a little harsh for this amazing soundtrack. In fact, I definitely recommend getting the physical CD even if you import it to iTunes the second you get it. The case, liner notes, and poster (yes poster) with notes from QT are great.HOWEVER, I just opened up my copy to find that there was no CD inside! Instead, I got two copies of the poster. Obviously a fluke and not intentionally ripping me off, but that is unheard of. The case was still shrink wrapped when received. Will be returning for a REAL copy. If anyone get's two CDs in their case, I'll give you my address...EDIT: Changed from 1 star to 3 stars. Amazon customer service promptly sent another CD and a return label. As far as the music is concerned, I think you should listen to the Amazon previews (or watch the film) to determine purchasing or not. I don't think someone should purchase music based on a written review of an individual's opinion.
