10 Things I Hate About You - Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Great mix of music
Disadvantages: Can't think of any at all

...through without skipping any tracks 10 - All in All a great buy and needs to be in everyone's CD collection! Only downside is there is a few songs in the film that aren't on the CD but oh well i'm sure you'll get over that. The songs on the album are as follows: 1. I Want You To Want Me - LETTERS TO CLEO ~ this is a rocky, uptempo number which my sister loves, so i suppose the girlies can relate to the lyrics. 2. FNT - SEMISONIC ~ I don't remember ...
...me laugh everytime. 10. Dazz - BRICK ~ This is a funky little techno number, which you can get your groove on to. 11. War - CARDIGANS ~ Love the Cardigans, so they can never do wrong in my book. 12. Wings Of A Dove - MADNESS ~ This reminds me of the songs from Grease which is good, because that was also a teen romance back in the day. 13. Cruel To Be Kind - LETTERS TO CLEO ~ A great remake of cruel to be Kind with a rocky, modern feel to it. 14. ... Read review

Advantages: Good Introduction To Some Fairly Unknown Artists
Disadvantages: Some Weak Tracks

...Winter – Sister Hazel), Track 10 (The Weakness In Me – Joan Armatrading) and Track 5 (Even Angels Fall - Jessica Riddle). “Your Winter” is my overall favourite as I just think it is heartbreakingly beautiful, with amazing lyrics (“I won't be your winter / I won't be anyone's excuse to cry”). “The Weakness In Me” comes a close second. It is an emotional Ballard about not having enough strength to resist new love, but at the same time not wanting to ...
...haven’t heard any of Joan Armatrading's other songs but if they compare to this one I will certainly be looking out for her album. “Even Angels Fall” is another Ballad, maybe not as unique as the other 2 and the cynical among you may think it is nothing special, but it is still one of my favourites with good lyrics (“you will fly and you will crawl / god knows even angels fall”). Other good tracks on the album are Track 1 (I Want You To Want Me ... Read review

Advantages: Great tunes from the film
Disadvantages: Bare Naked Ladies one week isnt on there!

I've been looking for this CD for a while and in the end had to fork out £12.99 to amazon in order to get it. Although the price is a little steep it was worth it. Although the film mirrors Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew' the soundtrack seems to deviate and not show the same feminist attitudes as the film itself. The CD itself comprises of 14 tracks and although my favourite song from the film, 'One Week' by Bare Naked Ladies, the other tracks ...
...Kind' by Letters to Cleo and 'I Know' by Save Ferris. This is the kind of music to be listened to after a bad day when screaming and shouting seems appropriate as it is very feminine indie rock. The sleeve is filled with images from the film to help remind you that this is not simply a good compilation album, it belongs with a movie. Many of the artists I had not heard of before purchasing the album but since then have bought several by many of them ... Read review

Advantages: Many great songs
Disadvantages: Some songs from the film are missing

...WHY I GOT IT When I'd watched '10 Things I Hate About You' loads of times, the songs really grew on me. I found myself singing the songs in the shower, and fast forwarding the tape to the bits with my favourite songs, and so I decided it was time to buy the CD. It was no dissapointment. Ever since I stuck this in my cd player half a year ago, it's been one of my favourite feel-good CDs. THE TRACKS 1. LETTERS TO CLEO- I WANT YOU TO WANT ME What can I say? I love this song. It's really upbeat and happy, and one of my favourites on the CD. The lyrics (' I want you to want me/ I need you to need me/ I'd love you to love me/ I'm beggin' you to beg me') remind me a bit of The Cardigans' 'Love Fool' , which was in 'Romeo& Juliet' and 'Cruel Intentions'. Compare the lyrics: (' So I cried, and I begged for you to/ Love me... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...The band that performed the single for the hit movie "10 Things I Hate About You" are a kind of indie cross chick rock band, called "Letters To Cleo". The single is called "I Want You To Want Me" and is catchy and really does suit the overall image of the entire movie. The movie seems to portray a feeling of female independance and the soundtrack is incredibly good at getting across the point of the film. The song itself is very upbeat and has a kind of heavy feel to it, the lyrics are good and the lead singer has a terrific powerful voice that really shows throughout the song. I would encourage anyone to buy this or the whole soundtrack because it is one of the best that I have seen for a long time as it actually reflects the storyline of the movie!... Read review

Advantages: Great songs for a great film
Disadvantages: A few weak songs

...The film is great, but without this soundtrack it wouldn't be nearly so good. It's great for singing along to, and dancing to it works well too. Especially when drunk. Whatever mood you're in there are songs to suit, as well as the songs to dance to, there are the slower ones for singing along to in Bridget Jones' style The first five songs are amazing, they are: I Want You To Want Me ~ Letters To Cleo FNT ~ Semisonic (fantastic band) I Know ~ Save Ferris Your Winter ~ Sister Hazel Even Angels Fall ~ Jessica Riddle Then there are four average, not so good songs: New World ~ Leroy Saturday Night ~ Ta-Gana Atomic Dog ~ George Clinton Dazz ~ Brick Then there are another five great songs: The Weakness In Me ~ Joan Armatrading War ~ The Cardigans Wings Of A Dove ~ Madness Cruel To Be Kind ~ Letters To Cleo One More...
