REVIEW

Since I have used up much of my acerbic reserves for the Miami Vice soundtrack review, I shall attempt to be less bitchy towards TDWP soundtrack. Because I like Anne Hathaway in Brokeback Mountain. Also because I need better karma.

The TDWP soundtrack consists of some catchy pop tunes, a few classics and four classy club/lounge tracks. Generally, this album starts off with songs that you are very familiar with, such as Madonna’s Vogue and U2’s City of Blinding Lights, and it progressively works in the better stuff from artists such as DJ Colette and Azure Ray, ending with a nice jazzy score from the movie by Theodore Shapiro, who did, among many other hits, Fun with Dick and Jane. Erm.

While the soundtrack grows on you as you listen along I feel that the overall tone of the album is a tad too low-key, uncool for a swanky show I imagine TDWP imagines itself to be. There are tracks from Jamiroquai but Moby and Alanis Morissette as well, unfortunately. Remember, excessive Moby causes irreparable brain damage. I don’t even want to think about what Alanis can do to you mentally. However, the tracks do manage to convey a perky upbeat disposition which I hope can be found in the movie’s protagonist.

So is this a good soundtrack? Well, there are many enjoyable tracks in the album, but it lacks identity.

If you have to be mean, this soundtrack lacks personality and cohesiveness. But heck, the soundtrack does include several nice songs.
