10 Things I Hate About You - Original Soundtrack

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

...move, well all right') 10. JOAN ARAMATRADING -WEAKNESS IN ME I like this song. It's very chilled out, and I like the background piano music. The singer confused me though- still not sure if this is sung by a girly guy, or a manly woman. ('Make me stay when I should not/ If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.') 11. THE CARDIGANS- WAR I quite like this song. It's very 'floaty', if you can understand that- and quite relaxed. ('Oh, ...
...this war/ This time') 12. MADNESS-WINGS OF A DOVE This song is okay, a bit repetitive, but not all bad. Blends in too much with the songs around it though. ('Woah woah/ for the wings of a dove') 13. LETTERS TO CLEO- CRUEL TO BE KIND Another catchy tune by the same artists of 'I Want You To Want Me', and this one is of the same good quality. Love it. ('Cruel to be kind/ In the right measure/ Cruel to be kind/ It's a very good sign') 14. RICHARD ... 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 ...
...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 Thing. Overall, the majority of the songs are great and when you're dancing around like a lunatic (you know you do...) ... Read review

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 ...
...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

10 Things I hate About You is a great soundtrack, well worth getting if you enjoyed the film. I often find soundtracks great for showcasing artists that often don’t get any recognition or don’t bother releasing things here in the UK. This is definitely the case here. This CD introduced me to a few new artists, for example “Letters To Cleo” and “Sister Hazel.” The songs are quite varied and the although some of the songs aren’t especially good, most ...
...good songs. Although this has most of the songs prominently featured in the film it hasn’t got them all, for example, One Week by the Barenaked Ladies which was played over the opening credits or Sexy Boy by Air. Overall though a decent CD that I would recommend to anyone who liked the film. ... Read review

Advantages: brill
Disadvantages:

This is a varied mix of chick-rock, beautiful ballads and, quite frankly, oddballs. The band 'letters to cleo' feature on two tracks, both of which are brilliant up-beat happy tunes. I have to say the track of the album is Joan Armatrading's 'The Weakness in Me' which is a stunning piano-laden ballad. There are some classics here like Madness' 'wings of a dove'. The excellent semisonic contributed 'FNT' which is a rocking tune. This album complements ... 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 certainly make up for it, these include 'Cruel to be 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... Read review

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

...I really enjoyed the film and just had to buy this soundtrack to remind me of my favourite scenes. I bought my copy from Cd-Wow for £8.99, although I don’t think they are selling it anymore. I am sure you will be able to purchase it cheaply on e-bay or amazon marketplace (Watch out for postage costs though). My favourite tracks on the album have to be Track 4 (Your 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 break the heart of someone... Read review
