Advantages: Good Music, Good number of tracks. Disadvantages: The "first song" is just a narrative, but you can easily skip it.

I love the wide gap of music ranging from the Smiths to Hall and Oats to Feist to Regina Spector. Not to mention Simon and Garfunkel. This large group of music only increases the quality.

This, however, can easily be skipped or unchecked in your iTunes. The second problem is the mood swings. It goes from happy to sad. These swings aren't too major, but are notable. Overall, it was a good buy. I'd also like to add that 16 songs is a good size for any CD, especially a Soundtrack. This soundtrack was more than worth the money that I payed for it. ... more

This was a GREAT soundtrack in my opinion. There are only a few problems as far as I can see. The first is the fact that the first "song" is actually a narrative. Its the same speech as in the beginning of the movie. This, however, can easily be skipped or unchecked in your iTunes. The second problem is the mood swings. It goes from happy to sad. These swings aren't too major, but are notable. Overall, it was a good buy. I'd also like to add that 16 songs is a good size for any CD, especially a Soundtrack.

Album Notes
I love the Smiths, Zooey Deschanel enthuses during the early moments of (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, thus setting the stage for her relationship with Brit-pop fanatic Joseph Gordon-Levitt. With music playing such an integral role in the storyline, it's refreshing to see that the accompanying soundtrack does its job well, distilling the characters' record collections (not to mention the movie's quirky, nostalgic ambience) into one eclectic tracklist. Regina Spektor contributes two songs to the mix, but the Smiths are awarded the most screen time, performing two songs (There is a Light That Never Goes Out, "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want) and providing the source material for a swoony cover song by She & Him. Another Smith -- the whimsical singer/songwriter Meaghan Smith -- delivers one of the album's most poignant moments with Here Comes Your Man, a tune that holds it own amidst a collection of folk classics and Brit-pop hits.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.80) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The film's well-curated soundtrack runs the gamut of romantic moods, from infatuation to post-breakup wistfulness."
