Cruelly Delicious Review ofCruel Intentions - Original Soundtrackby
ReiKo
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.
Here's ...

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 as ...

Cool Intentions Review ofCruel Intentions - Original Soundtrackby
mokee
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 ...

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 ...

Sensuality in one CD Review ofCruel Intentions - Original Soundtrackby
divinekarma
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 ...

Cruel Intensions... Review ofCruel Intentions - Original Soundtrackby
DavidK4L
Advantages: A soundtrack full of great songs Disadvantages: none
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. The songs are flawless with greats such as bitter sweet symphony by the verve and coffee and tv. These songs let you relieve the film whiel you lie there thinking. The songs are very we set in ...

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 ...

Excellent Review ofCruel Intentions - Original Soundtrackby
SARAH2001
Advantages: Disadvantages:
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 soundtrack ...

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..
I wont tell ...

Wow! Review ofCruel Intentions - Original Soundtrackby
coso87
Advantages: fantastic soundtrack to a fantastic film! Disadvantages: none
...originally bought the soundtrack to cruel intentions because it's one of my favourite films and i liked the music. I bought it for an amazing £4.99!!! from a HMV sale (i was very impressed hehe) and started listening to it when i got home. To begin with i only listened to the tracks that i knew (because i like to sing along lol) but over time i grew to love the whole CD.
The music is a mixture of mellow/chillout and cheerful rocky songs lol. Here's ...

jonb
Advantages: great variety Disadvantages: absolutely none
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 ...

Advantages: great alternative artists Disadvantages: poor inside content
when i first saw the film at the movies i couldn't believe that it could be a movie remembered not for the performances or the story but for it's music. Placebo, Fatboy slim, Blur, Counting crows, Faithless, Verve and so many other great artists can be found in this cd. If nothing else, buy this soundtrack only to remember the scene at the funeral where you could hear the bitter sweet symphony by the verve.
There can always be people who say that ...
