Full review
Firstly, can I please ask people not to be disappointed by the tracks such as Exit Stage Right and Dead Duck and the likes because this is the unaviodable downside of a soundtrack- there are bound to be "pointless" very short pieces. The soundtrack is still well worth owning because of the meaningful tracks such as A Peak You Reach, Something To Talk About and Above You, Below Me. Not only did Badly Drawn Boy achieve his probably aim to write songs perfectly for the film but at the same time these songs are great to listen to whether you have seen the film or not. This was my introduction to Badly Drawn Boy and based on it I would not only encourage others to buy it but also to get some of Badly Drawn Boy's other work. In conclusion, for a usual album this would be very good, for a soundtrack it is the best I've heard :)
