Advantages: A good mix, relaxing/chilling music, good mix of artists Disadvantages: some artists are not as well known as others on the album
**SPOILER**
Excellent soundtrack counterpart to an excellent movie. If you loved the tracks on the movie then get the album. The tracks compliment the feelings and mood in the movie with the theme tune 'Every You, Every Me' by Placebo... it's so gothic and dark in it's sound with a hint of isolation. Gorgeous.
The ending, when Kathryn's reign of terror collapses, is accentuated by The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony. Again: gorgeous.

Advantages: Good mix of familiar and not so familiar quality tunes. Disadvantages: I'd love some clips from the film on it (Pulp Fiction style).
Great film, even better soundtrack. It's one of those compilations I love, that save you buying several albums. You get the best songs from loads of albums on here Placebo - Every me Every you, The verve Bittersweet Symphony, Colorblind - Counting Crows, Secretly - Skunk Anansie, Coffee and TV - Blur, and Praise you - Fatboy slim. But that's not it's only benefit, as Brit I found it introduced me to a lot of quality, young American artists, such ...

Advantages: It'll blow your socks off Disadvantages: You can't stop listening to it
This is, quite simply, the best soundtrack I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. There is not a bad track on the album. In fact, I would have to say that there is not one song on the soundtrack that is not excellent in its own right, together they make for a formidable mixture which only makes brief visits to the CD rack before being restored to its rightful place in my CD player. This is most definitely the CD that has been played most in ... ...mixture of sublime melancholy in songs such as Colorblind by Counting Crowns, blended with just the right amount of slightly more upbeat tracks that are still just as deep and atmospheric, such as Comin' Up From Behind by Marcy Playground.
I bought this soundtrack because I found when I watched the film that the music moved me more than the story, and as the film itself was extremely good this is something of an achievement. This soundtrack has ...

Advantages: All my fav songs come from this film Disadvantages: its not a pop record so britney lovers turn away now!
Literally the best soundtrack that is on earth at this moment, i love it!
All of the songs fit the film so well and there isnt a track on the album you'll want to skip, with its fusion of brit rock, dance and beautiful ballads.
The ambience that this soundtrack creates is amazing, it puts you through so many emotions, such as angst and realisation during Placebo's 'Every You, Every Me' and love and sorrow as Counting Crows 'I am ready' pulls on ... ...like the song 'Bittersweet Symphony' by The Verve because it really suits the scene of Katherines Demise as she gets her cummupance!
Also Blurs 'Coffe and TV' is just a nice easy listening track that can make you feel different each time you hear it, the same with Skunk Anancies 'Secretly'. All of the songs on this soundtrack are meaningful, memorable and wonderful. You can see how much talent and passion is spread into each song by each individual ...

Advantages: You'll never get tired of it Disadvantages: None
...the back-stabbing, treachery and jealousy, Cruel Intentions is actually a pretty sensual movie. And that's what the soundtrack is like - sensual, cool, contemporary.
Aside from the over-played "Praise You"by Fatboy Slim and "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve (which are great pieces of music, mind you!), the other tracks aren't the sort to command radio time due to their lack of mass appeal...and that's why I love them! There's the melancholic "Colour ... ...Crows!), the beautiful sensual voice of Craig Armstrong in "This Love", a soulful ballad "You can make a Killing" by Aimee Mann, the upbeat rhythms of Faithless with "Addictive"...
Why is this soundtrack great? Because it makes you feel young without feeling childish (think pop princesses), mature but not old, cool but not cold. But most of all, it's great because you'll listen to it over and over again, and get your money's worth! ...

This soundtrack is one of the best i have ever heard to accompany a film. The film itself is fantastic, with no real flaws great cast, great script, and great SOUNDTRACK! the songs go perfectly with the film, and are just fantastic to listen to on their own.

Advantages: Lots of great songs by great bands Disadvantages: Just a few weak links, and that's about it
Not a greatly heralded soundtrack but a top quality one nevertheless. Once you see Ryan Phillippe cruising in a sportscar to Placebo’s “Every Me, Every You” the soundtrack is appealing, and it is full of good songs.
While the songs were cleverly placed in the film the soundtrack gives you the chance to enjoy the tracks by themselves, which most of the songs are deserving of. Blur, Fatboy Slim, The Verve, Counting Crows and Skunk Anansie all feature ... ...just piecemeal offerings from these groups, they are top quality tracks (why “Colorblind” by Counting Crows is not more popular is something I fail to understand).
As with most soundtracks there are a few weak links, but out of 14 tracks the quality is exceptional. It is also excellent value for money as it is something you will dig out and play over and over again. ...

I bought this album after watching the film (which I loved). The songs were so perfect for the scenes which they appeared in and they are great songs. There are some artists that I have never heard of before as well as artists who had already had success with their songs that featured on the soundtrack such as The Verve, Placebo, Blur and Fatboy Slim. This is an amazing album and every song is great. This is a must for every CD collection as the ...

This was a brilliant soundtrack.... where it was a compilation where i adored every single song and not just one or two.
Watching the movie... i was taken by how well the songs brought out the different moods and emotions of the characters.... and thus i wanted the soundtrack
This soundtrack has music that is melancholic but at the same time hopeful.... i dont know.. sounds oxymoronic but thats just the impression that i get..

This is one of the best soundtracks ive heard coming from a good film. The cd contains some great tracks by some very good artists such as placebo and the verve as well as other great tracks by people less well known. It contains a variety of different types of music and just about anybody will find a song they like! Overall this albumn is definately worth buying even if you havn't seen the film (which you should!)and will still be worth listening ...
